Street Date:      5/22/2018

Format:             BD, DVD

Language:         Japanese with English Subtitles

SYNOPSIS:  If you've got a ghost in your Japanese neighborhood, the spirit-moving specialists to call are Rinne Rokudo and Sakura Mamiya. Sure, they're both still in high school, but Sakura's been seeing the dearly and not-so-dearly departed since she was a child, and Rinne's part shinigami, which comes in handy when dealing with the more assertive supernatural incursions.  What Rinne isn't good at is working his way out of a perpetual state of debt, and the need for quick cash can lead them onto unhallowed grounds where other exorcists fear to tread.  Cleaning the Wheel of Reincarnation?  Repossessing magical artifacts?  What about REALLY  dangerous tasks like trying to train a cat?  It's all just another paranormal day's work in Rumiko Takahashi's RIN-NE - SEASON 3!

SYNOPSIS:  Contrary to what the adventures of Bell and the Goddess Hestia might imply, not everyone goes into the dungeon of Orario to pick up girls.  The veterans of the Goddess Loki's Familia have lots of reasons for risking life and limb facing the monsters and mayhem lurking within the deadly labyrinth's multiple levels, but new member and mage Lefiya just wants to prove that she's worthy to be on the same team as her hero, the famed sword princess Aiz Wallenstein.  As for Aiz herself, she's seeking something that no one else even suspects, and she may find it when trouble comes after her from the previously unreached 59th level!  If you thought you knew the Danmachi universe, be prepared to think again as the adventure continues from an all-new point of view in SWORD ORATORIA!
