{"product_id":"project-arms-dvd","title":"Project Arms DVD","description":"\u003cp\u003eRyo Takatsuki thought he lost his right arm in a childhood accident. He thought the scarring and the strange episodes of blacking out were just trauma. He was wrong about all of it. \u003cstrong\u003eHis arm was not replaced — it was rebuilt, using nanomachine technology called ARMS that fuses with organic tissue and transforms into something far beyond any conventional weapon. \u003c\/strong\u003eRyo is not alone: Hayato Shingu, Takeshi Tomoe, and Kei Kuruma have each been similarly altered since childhood, each by their own apparent accident, each carrying a different ARMS variant. The organization that engineered them — the Egrigori — wants them back. The assassins they send are enhanced, dangerous, and growing stronger. As the four discover each other and begin to understand what they are, they also discover the scale of what they are up against: a secret organization with roots going back decades, a conspiracy involving genetics research and military applications, and a personal connection to their own pasts that none of them have fully unearthed. When Katsumi — Ryo's girlfriend — is taken, the four set out on a journey that will force each of them to confront not just the Egrigori but the limits of the power inside them, which does not always do what they want. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProject ARMS is a 52-episode action series produced by TMS Entertainment, directed by Hajime Kamegaki and Hirotoshi Takaya, and based on the award-winning manga by Kyoichi Nanatsuki and Ryoji Minagawa — winner of the 44th Shogakukan Manga Award in 1999. The series aired on TV Tokyo in two consecutive seasons from April 2001 through March 2002. It draws heavily on Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland mythology for its villain names, weapon designations, and thematic framing — the Egrigori operatives include the Jabberwock, the Bandersnatch, and the White Queen — giving its genetic body-horror action story an unusually literary underpinning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally licensed in North America by Viz Media, who released Season 1 on nine individual DVD volumes and Season 2 (The 2nd Chapter) on seven volumes between 2002 and 2004. The complete series was re-licensed and reissued by Discotek Media in 2017 as a complete box set.
