MPD Psycho

Prolific, extreme Japanese director Takashi Miike's MPD PSYCHO is based on a manga by Eiji Ootsuka. Produced for television, this release contains the first two episodes of a six episodes mini-series. Homicide detective Yousuke Kobayashi takes on the personality of calculating investigator Anamiya Kazuhiko after being traumatized by the murder of his wife. Anamiya solves the case by capturing the serial killer Shinji Nishizono. But a few years later, a mysterious cult with barcoded eyeballs is linked to a series of copycat murders that imitate the work of Nishizono. The multiple-personality detective, Kobayashi-Anamiya, is recalled from retirement to solve the case, but will his delicate mental condition survive an investigation with such a personal connection? MPD PSYCHO, despite being a television production, still contains the shocking violence and bizarre plotlines that have made Miike a cult favorite.

Gantz - Vol. 8: Deathwatch (DVD)

Director Ichiro Itano presents a hellish vision of the afterlife in the brutal horror anime series GANTZ. High school student Kei and his childhood friend Kato are helping a hobo who has fallen onto the subway tracks when they are run over and violently decapitated by an oncoming train in a spectacularly grisly fashion. Transported to a strange post-death limbo, the pair find themselves in a barren room overlooking Tokyo with a motley group of strangers--including two hotheaded gangsters and a naked young girl, whom they immediately try to rape--as well as a mysterious black sphere known as Gantz. Kei and Kato soon discover that they and the room`s occupants are all dead and have been brought there by Gantz as part of a secret government plot to kill criminal aliens that roam the earth--and that if they refuse their deadly missions, they face a fate even worse than death. Moody, stylish, and animated with veritable buckets of crimson blood, GANTZ plays like a twisted hybrid of YU YU HAKUSHO... Gantz - Vol. 8: Deathwatch (DVD)
