12/8/2015 4:22:41 PM

This week's new releases are all about fresh starts. In our latest film release AURA, Satou Ichiro tries to start anew in a different school in order to rid himself of what basically boils down to "chunibyo" before chunibyo was "Chunibyo". In Rail Wars!, Naoto's first day on the job as a trainee for the Railways Security Force is more than a little hectic. New beginnnings are great, and you should start with one of these titles:

 

 

RAIL WARS

In a parallel world where Japan hasn't privatized its railways, Naoto dreams of being a train conductor for the Japanese National Railways. He luckily manages to snag a job as a trainee for the Railways Security Force. However, Naoto’s expectations are quickly derailed when he finds that he has trouble telling who’s crazier- his coworkers or the criminals he’s supposed to catch! But when RJ, a sinister group, appears to seize control of the JNR, it’s up to him to get things back on track.
