These are the categories: Anime, Adult Anime (Hentai), Cartoons, Asian Cinema (Kung Fu, Horror, Classic), Cult Movies (Gore, Weird, Cool stuff) and 18+ Cult (gore and nudity). We literally have over 5,000 titles for rent. Call or email us if you are looking for a specific title!! Or... just get in there! The prices on our DVDs are MSRP, don't expect us to be able to compete with Best Buy! Our rental are cheaper than Blockbuster though!
