Cowboy Bebop: The Complete Series (Blu-ray) $18 (was $60) Released in 2014 by Funimation, Cowboy Bebop: The Complete Series compiles the 26-episode arc that originally aired in 1998 across four discs. All of the episodes are presented in their original 4:3 aspect ratio with upscaled resolution. You can watch with English dubs or in Japanese with subtitles, and the surround-sound mix helps make the excellent soundtrack hum.

Released last year, this edition is largely the same as the $18 version, except it comes with a fifth disc containing a 25-year retrospective and an interview with Koichi Yamadera (voice actor of Spike) recorded for the series 20th anniversary.Set in 2071, Cowboy Bebop follows a group of bounty hunters led by protagonist Spike Spiegel who travel across space to find wanted criminals. Though a sci-fi show at its core, Cowboy Bebop is also indebted to westerns and noir films. Both funny and heartfelt, Cowboy Bebop shines because of its rich characters who are often trying to outrun their pasts. It's widely regarded as one of the best anime ever made.

This edition was released for the anime's 25th anniversary in 2013. The Blu-ray disc contains the film and the two-plus hours of bonus content.First released in 1988, Akira remains one of the most beloved anime films to this day. The alternate-history film takes place in Neo-Tokyo in 2019, 31 years after World War 3 was brought on by the destruction of Tokyo. The futuristic metropolis is now rife with seedy characters and rival gangs vying for territory and power. The story follows Shotaro Kaneda, the leader of a biker gang, and his friend Tetsuo Shima, who possesses psychic abilities that, in the wrong hands, can lead to destruction and ruin.Akira's plot is not the easiest to follow, and it's not always readily apparent who is good and who is bad. The movie is also quite different and drastically condensed, understandably, compared to the original manga by Katushiro Otomo. It released before Otomo's manga even ended and only covers roughly the first third of the story.
