By If you head over to Amazon right now, you can score a wide range of deals on everything from Xbox memory cards to a very wide gaming monitor. But why settle for the hottest technology when you can instead create the ultimate anime library? As part of Amazon Prime Day Round 2, the retail giant is offering big discounts on some of the hottest anime Blu-rays around, giving you the chance to grab beloved series, recent adaptations of cult-classic video games, and some truly bizarre series.
Starting off, you can get the entire Castlevania collection at around half the price that these Blu-rays normally sell for. Dracula’s war against humanity made for gripping television, and when you juggle in some fantastic banter between the core cast of protagonists, eye-popping animation, and a final boss who lobs insults like an out-of-control forum mod, you’ve got a recipe for anime success.

If you’d prefer something a little less grim, then check out One-Punch Man. The entire concept of this anime series is that it revolves around a hero who is too strong for his own good, the master of the single knockout blow who has become bored of his own power and really wishes that walking extinction-level threats would stop showing up in his town. Not just a great collection of gags, One-Punch Man also features some incredible animation (although only in its first season if we’re being honest here) and a colorful cast of professional heroes who always underestimate Saitama, the titular One-Punch Man.
Maybe you want something weirder? Then Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure will overdeliver, as this series tells the saga of the Joestar family across multiple decades and protagonists. The first Jojo series, Phantom Blood, is a spooky Victorian epic in which Jonathan Joestar battles his absolute bastard of an adopted brother Dio Brando throughout his life, Battle Tendency pits Joseph Joestar against the mighty Pillar Men, and Stardust Crusaders is a globe-trotting adventure that features the infamous return of Dio and introduces the concept of Stands to the Jojo universe.
Things get weirder from there, as Diamond is Unbreakable is essentially high school hijinks mixed with a murder mystery that would make David Fincher proud and Golden Wind is a gangster epic that pushes the idea of Stands to extreme levels.
Also available on Amazon’s sale are a number of highly rated anime films. Perfect Blue, Tokyo Godfathers, and Weathering With You are all critically acclaimed films, and are available for up to 50% less.
