Card Captor Sakura The Movie Collection [Limited Release]AnimationBeautiful DVD's
I was really hapy to find both of the Cardcaptor flims released as a boxset, it slightly cheaper then the orginal DVD releases & the box design is absolutely beautiful. I also like the extras featured on the DVD, you'll get all the TV spots and trailers of both of the Cardcaptor Sakura flims. Unlike the original DVD releases, the boxset does not contain an illustration card or the hope card. Also the 16 page booklet does not contain many new material, most of what it contains are character sketches, merchandise and a special interview with the voice actress of Kero. Since the DVD's are remastered it means better quality, so even if you have the original DVD's, then it's worth buying this boxset again.

Pretty Guardian (Bishojo Senshi) Sailor Moon - Mugen Gakuen Mistress Labyrinth [Revised Edition]MusicalMy favouriote 4th stage!
When I first got into SeraMyu, I didn't know which DVD to buy to start with, but soemhow I have choosen to get this DVD. I can say that I have definitely made a good choice because it was enjoyable and I loved watching it all over again. This is a great musical and probably my favourite out of all Marina's musicals. The musical is based on the Sailor Moon S Anime story arc and even though some of the great casts has left from the original Mugen musical, the overall musical is great overall and also Marina has made a great improvement as Usagi aswell. This DVD is definitely worth buying.

Musical "Pretty Guardian (Bishojo Senshi) Sailor Moon"AnimationExcellent BGM's
This soundtrack has some great BGM's from all of Fumina's and Miyuki's musicals. Although I prefer the first soundtrack, this soundtrack is also good and something which all SerMyu fans will enjoy.

KisekiAyumi MurataVery beautiful
I brought this CD because I was a massive fan of Ayumi-san from the Sailor Moon musicals and although this album was something very different from her SeraMyu days, the overall album is still great and I loved it. Ayumi-san's voice does sound different from her musical voice, but her voice does still remain very beautiful. Summer Vacation, MY SAVIOR and OZ are my favourite tracks. I will definitely recommend this album to every J-pop fan.

Death Note 1AnimationA must have for all fans!
When I first heard Death Note was going to be an Anime, I was worried that it may differ from the Manga in many ways, but when I brought the DVD my first impression was the DVD cover and artwork was beautiful. The cover has 2 layers, a clear layer with monotone artwork and a mini poster artwork for the Anime. Also the first press of the DVD was great. The Ryuk figure is nicely detailed. This was definitely worth getting and I will recommend the DVD to all the fans of the Manga.

Cardcaptor Sakura Trading Collection 2GoodsLovely cards for every CCS fan.
The cards are mainly based on the Cardcaptor Sakura 2nd season series. Cards included are character cards, episode cards and holographics. The holographic cards in the set are really lovely and pretty, however you only get 1 holographic card per booster pack, therefore you will need at least 3 boxes to fill your collection as there are only 15 packs with the box and over 30 holographics. However if you haven't got all the cards from boxset vol.1, then it will be difficult to collect all of the cards since this box of cards carries on from vol.1

Magic Knight RAYEARTH 1st HALFSoundtrackMusic is okay
The music in RAYEARTH OVA isn't as good as the Magic Knight Rayearth series. Also I was expecting Naomi Tamura's song to be featured as one of the tracks however the CD never had it. The music sounded more Western and average in my opinion.
-
Magic Knight RAYEARTH EXTRA-Hikaru Shidou-Hekiru ShiinaGreat for all MKR music fans
The music in this CD is great and that made me got into this CD so much, however Hekiru Shiina hasn't got the best voice for the character Hikaru. Also the extras are cool. You get a calculater and clock for your computer which is so cute.

TOKYO MEW MEW VOL.2Animation (Original Soundtrack)Vol.1 is much better!
This is a great soundtrack with some lovely music, however the 1st OST is much better. It seems as though they save almost all of the best anime music for vol.1 & stick whatever they got left in this soundtrack. Also it contains the TV size opening and ending theme which is already on vol.1, so I'll say its between 3 or 4 stars, but end up giving it 4 (don't know why though)

TOKYO MEW MEW Super best hit - Tokyo Mew Mew sideAnimation SoundtrackThe last TMM CD makes my day
Like the Cafe Mew Mew side CD it features songs which can be found on other Tokyo Mew Mew CD's & I only brought this CD for 1 song which was Ringo's song. Because this was the last ever Tokyo Mew Mew CD I never care less of spending extra cash as a Tokyo Mew Mew fan. Rika's voice also sounds different on the live version of my sweet heart and the new edition of guraidaa!

TOKYO MEW MEW Character Song Collector's BOX [Initial pressing only limited release]Animation (Saki Nakajima, Yumi Kakazu, Kumi Sakuma, et al.)A lovely CD box
This is a great CD box which contains all of the character albums, plus a bonus CD. The bonus CD wasn't at all really great. It only conatined one track which is the remix of "koi wa a la mode" with all 5 girls singing. I did expect more from the bonus CD. Also all the CD's contains solo versions of "koi wa a la mode" remix which got me abit bored listening to the same song over again. Overall this is a great CD box and recommended of any Tokyo Mew Mew fans out there!

TOKYO MEW MEW: BGM "Glider"Rika KomastuA great ballad CD
This CD features 2 lovely ballads, plus instrumental versions of the songs used in the Anime. I use to think that "My days" (track 2) was a bit of a bore, but after listening to it for a while I began to like it & also it suits the Tokyo Mew Mew theme. Guraidaa is also a great song & my 2nd favourite Tokyo Mew Mew song after Saikou ni happy!

Pretty Guardian (Bishojo Senshi) Sailor Moon - 10th Anniversary Festival Ai no SanctuaryMusicalGreat musical, but least fave 4th stage
This is probably my least favourite stage 4 musical, however it's still a great show and the cast did put on a great musical. Marina's voice also sounded better in this musical then the others because in some of the musicals it seems as though she was abit shakey, but here she was perfect. The musical was about 95 minutes which is shorter then most of the other musicals & there was like a song a few minutes after the other. The extras were great. It features performances to La soldier, Solar miracle make up & a non-stop remixs of songs. Also features talks from the past Sailor Moon Actress, a commerical & talks from the cast celebrating the 10th Anniversary.

Koi wa a la mode -Ending theme song to "TOKYO MEW MEW"-AnimationCheesy, but Good!
The CD includes the full version to the Tokyo Mew Mew ending theme "koi wa a la mode" and a song which can only be found on this CD called "Nonbiri Dreamin'" sung by Ichigo. Plus you get intsrumental versions of both songs too. Koi wa a la mode is abit cheesy, but great a song. It features the voice artists of the 5 main Mew girls singing it. Nonbiri Dreamin is also a great song. The song is however different from other of Ichigo's songs though, but its still catchy in a way. A must have for all Tokyo Mew Mew fans ^^
-
Magic Knight RAYEARTH EXTRA-Mokona-Yuri ShiratoriAn okay MKR CD
This is my least favourite CD out of all the Magic Knight Rayearth CD EXTRAS. The music is great and catchy, but not as catchy as the others. This CD extra is remixes of songs about Mokona. The first 2 songs features Hikaru, Umi & Fuu singing a song about Mokona & the last song is Mokona singing costantly saying "puu" which was quite funny.

Speciality [w/ DVD, Limited Edition]Nami TamakiAnother great album by Nami
It took me a while to get into this album, but in the end after a few times I played the CD I totally loved it! however I prefer her 2nd album "Make Progress" but nevertheless this is a great album for all the Nami fans out there. The photobook is really pretty, also the DVD is great too. It features 4 of Nami's live perfomances with great dance routines.

Kanata e [CD+DVD]AnzaA great solo by ANZA!
I brought this CD because I was a big fan of ANZA in the Sailor Moon musicals, however I was worried that her solo works will be totally different from the musicals & the questions was "will I like her solo works regardless how it differs from the musicals?" In the end I'm glad I brought this CD as I never expected it to be so good. There are 4 tracks (2 songs and 2 instrumental versions) which are lovely ballads & ANZA has still got that lovely voice & she is looking very pretty as usual ^^ The DVD is great too! It features the video for Kanata e, along with a short movie and the "making of". This CD has made me like ANZA even more, so I'm looking forward to any of her future works (if any), so I will recommend this CD to all the AZNA fans out there!

Koro-chan Pack Pretty Guardian (Bishojo Senshi) Sailor Moon [12-cm CD + Picture Book]Sci-Fi Live ActionLovely, but not as expected.
I wanted to buy this CD because I thought the pictured labelled CD is really lovely and also thought that I will be missing out on some great photos from the live action series if I don't get this, however it came down to a little disapointment. Firstly all the songs on this CD can be found on many other Sailor Moon live action CD's & secondly the picture book isn't what I expected. The book contains only 12 cardboard pages with lyrics & almost all the photos inside are the most frequent photos you'll see on other live action items such as CD's, books and many more. I think this item is more aimed towards kids because of the picture book & it contains a little simple quiz. I will only recommend this item if you really want to collect all the live action series items or if your buying it for younger people.

Koro-chan Pack Pretty Guardian (Bishojo Senshi) Sailor Moon 2 [12-cm CD + Picture Book]Sci-Fi Live ActionWhy is half the stuff same as vol.1?
This came down to a disapointment because half the stuff which is in the koro-chan pack is the same as the vol.1 koro-chan pack. Firstly there are 3 songs on the CD which you can get from vol.1 (Kirari Sailor Dream, Cest la vie & Kirari Sailor Dream -instrumental-). Also in the picture book pages 2,3,10 & 11 contains EXACTLY the same thing as vol.1's picture book. I think it's only worth buying this item if your intending to collect all of the live action series products.

Koro-chan Pack Pretty Guardian (Bishojo Senshi) Sailor Moon 3 [12-cm CD + Picture Book]Sci-Fi Live ActionThe best Koro-chan pack
Generally this is the best Koro-chan pack out of all the volumes. The only thing I wonder is why does all the volumes contain the song "Kirari Sailor Dream"? Anyway the remaining tracks are each of the senshi's singing a solo though you can get the songs on the character CD's. After the disapointment of vol. 1 & 2 being identical in terms of tracks and pages from the book, at least this pictured book is totally different from vol.1 & 2, also there are 5 tracks different from 1 & 2.
