Anime & Movie Releases for 09/01

Here are the releases for today (09/01) at your local Video, Book Stores or the infamous Amazon website in the US. I only review Movies and Box Sets that are coming out as this will get the most bang for your buck. I did "borrow" the summaries from various sites so you can get a brief review of the story.

My personal favorites this week are Fate Stay Night and Ah! My Goddess.
