I’ve watched some pretty sketchy Anime in my past, but none come quite as close to Rin: Daughters of Mnemosyne. This six-episode anime is filled with mystery, intrigue, horrific violence and a whole lot of soft-core porn. That’s right. If not for the abhorrent rape sequences and deftly woven plot that ground this series, it’s difficult to tell if Rin: Daughters of Mnemosyne is a twisted porn or one of the most creative, albeit sickening, Anime series ever produced. Rin: Daughters of Mnemosyne begins with a relatively standard Anime opening: a man walks into an agency of beautiful women seeking help. If you’ve seen Burst Angel or XXXHolic, you’ll immediately see the connection. Rin Asogi is an immortal who runs an investigation service. Rin received her powers when Time Fruit inhabited her body, apparently several hundred to a thousand years before the events of the story.

Happy DVD release day, people. Hitting stores this week is one of the year's biggest films, the animated film Monsters vs Aliens, plus a number of indie flicks you might have missed including Sam Mendes' Away We Go, Steven Soderbergh's The Girlfriend Experience starring Sasha Grey, and Shrink starring Kevin Spacey. Rian Johnson's The Brothers Bloom is also available for rental exclusively at Blockbuster today, but in a strange deal, it will not be available to buy in the U.S. until January (it will be available in Canada next week, however). In terms of TV releases, there are a ton of Fan Favorites collections for classic shows, plus season 4 of How I Met Your Mother, and then there's the massive 70th Anniversary Edition of The Wizard of Oz plus Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal on Blu-ray. Do you plan on picking anything up this week? Monsters vs Aliens [1] (DVD,...
