What's new in the retail world of anime? If you're trying to update your anime gear, then this is the list for you. From DVD's to games to just plain cool stuff, we've got you covered.

DVD's
This Tuesday (3/22/05) brings some great new anime DVD's. On my list to buy? Volumes 8 and 9 of Mobile Suit Gundam Seed and the Special Edition #5 in the Ghost in the Shell:Stand Alone Complex series. (If you're not buying the special editions, the regular volume #5 will be out as well).

Also out this Tuesday is Wolf's Rain, Volume 6 and the last volume of Wedding Peach (#10). Another DVD note to your list: the complete collection of Astro Boy (5 DVD's) will be out next week (3/29).

Games
Gamers should plan to be up early on Thursday (3/24). The new handheld PSP is coming out in limited quantities and will grace your favorite anime stores bright and early.

Toys
The new DBGT action figures are out from FUNimation, including an SSJ4 Vegeta and SSJ4 Goku. Very, very cool.

The new Vash statue is out at Toy Wiz and what a statue it is! Also from Toy Wiz is this new Galhound statue in honor of Masamune Shirow. Happy Shopping! :)
