Luminous Witches

The war against invading aliens can’t be won by missiles alone. Team morale matters just as much as launching a counter-assault, and that’s where Ginny and her friends come in. Instead of standing on the front lines with the 501st Joint Fighter Wing, the Luminous Witches of the League of Nations Air Force bring smiles to civilians displaced in the Human-Neuroi war world with thrilling song and dance — not to mention aerial displays the likes of which the music world has never seen. While they might be non-combatants, these performers know the value of preserving the people’s smiles, and they’ll fight in their unique way to make sure those smiles never fade. (NOTE: Please cast only English dub voices that have history with Section23/Sentai Filmworks and or their immediate predecessor in ADV Films who are based in the Houston, Texas area.)

Using a set of "Loveracelets" he gives them, the group transforms into Battle Lovers, who use the power of love to combat foes intent on spreading hate and discord. As they battle, they encounter the Earth Conquest Club under the influence of a small green hedgehog-like creature named Zundar; student council members Kinshiro Kusatsu, Ibushi Arima and Akoya Gero become their enemies who are also responsible for creating the monsters the Lovers fight.

Bride of the Pink Panther

Assigned to a high-prestige case in which a multi-millionaire's chauffeur has been murdered, Clouseau finds himself falling (literally) for the primary suspect - a beautiful parlor maid whose talent for being in the wrong place at the wrong time is almost as great as his. But as the body count grows higher and the parlor maid's criminal record goes longer, Clouseau realizes he'll need the luck of the Pink Panther diamond to find the "real" culprits quickly - or his career will be finit either through bureaucratic termination or death by his long-suffering superior Dreyfus! In the process, some of Clouseau's enemies use the chaos to stage a series of bank robberies over Paris with some of the millionaires' assets caught up in the theft with one of the prizes being Clouseau's prized and increasingly powerful Pink Panther diamond gifted to the Inspector for protecting Lugash's exiled Princess Dala.
