Two animes are the lone home video releases of December 30 -- NURSE WITCH KOMUGI and WELCOME TO THE NHK.

WELCOME TO THE NHK: Season One, Part One and Two on DVD

Sato's life is going down the drain. A college dropout, he rarely goes outside and sleeps sixteen hours a day. Amidst his internet porn sites, he finds himself falling further into a pit of despair. Sato has now decided that a sinister broadcast company known as "The NHK" is trying to transform its viewers into jobless, societal recluses by showing cutesy anime girls. Unable to resist these charms, innocent victims like Sato are soon too busy watching TV and playing pornographic computer games to pursue a normal life.

In his darkest hour, Sato has a chance encounter with a beautiful girl named Misaki, who claims that she can cure him of his perverse ways. Is she really an angel of mercy? Or is she a devilish agent of the NHK? Swimming in a sea of corruption, Sato prepares for the battle of his life. Welcome to the NHK!

From Funimation Productions, part one contains episodes 1-12, part two contains episodes 13-24.

NURSE WITCH KOMUGI, Vol. 1: Complete Collection on DVD

From ADV Films, Komugi is a cosplay idol. She's not really much of one, but she does her best. But peril lurks here on Earth. If something isn't done pretty soon, Angrar will infect the whole world with viruses, using Komugi's best friend, Koyori, as a virus purveyor. The Goddess of the Vaccine World, Maya, has sent help to rid the world of this plague. Her helper, Mugimaru, has asked Komugi to be the defender of Earth and help him irradicate all the viruses that Angrar plagues the world with. Komugi, now empowered with magical Nurse Witch skills, has her work cut out for her. Between doing her cosplay jobs, fighting disease and dealing with all the weirdness, it's not going to be easy. Let's hope Komugi wins the fight to make Earth a safer place to live!
