All anime deals at Amazon

If you're looking for deals on classics from previous anime eras, the comedic coming-of-age mecha tale FLCL and high school slice of life series The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzimiya are highly recommended, while anyone looking for some action and adventure will want to add Afro Samurai, Black Clover, and Trigun to their carts.

For modern picks, we'd recommend Demon Slayer for its outstanding animation and worldbuilding, and Mob Psycho for its subversive-yet-touching take on shonen storytelling. There's also Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, a critically acclaimed fantasy anime series that follows an ageless elf mage as she embarks on a quest to understand human connection and master magic, while Talentless Nana plays like a fusion of My Hero Academia and Murder, She Wrote (and committed).

If you've never watched it, the first Gladiator movie starred Crowe as Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the armies of the North and general of the Felix Legions. A loyal servant to Rome's deceased emperor, Marcus Aurelius, Maximus is also a father to a murdered son and husband to a murdered wife, hellbent on exacting vengeance--in this life or the next--against the current emperor of Rome, Commodus.

Gladiator 2 was released last year, and it's set 20 years after the first film. Starring Mescal as the son of Meridius, the movie sees the young warrior taken prisoner after the Roman Empire invades Carthage--and just like his father--he is trained to fight in the gladiatorial arena. Gladiator 2 had an ensemble cast, as it included Pedro Pascal, Denzel Washington, Joseph Quinn, and Connie Nielsen. The movie was well-received after its release, with many critics praising the film's action, authentic design, and strong acting.

This is a recently new DVD release of the classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series, as it was released in October 2024. It includes all 193 episodes that aired across 10 seasons from 1987 to 1996, and it's a family-friendly adaptation of the Mirage Comics characters that is still fondly remembered today.

For the extras, there are several "Under the shell" featurettes on key characters, a nostalgic look back at the show, and a retrospective on how the iconic IP was created, for over three hours of bonus content.

Elden Ring Nightreign

$45 (was $55)

Elden Ring Nightreign For PS5 Elden Ring Nightreign for Xbox Series X

FromSoft's massively popular--and just plain massive in general--received a co-op spinoff called Elden Ring: Nightreign earlier this year. The game sees groups of 1-3 players teaming up to take on the titanic threats in the new realm of Limgrave. It's been a hit with fans and critics alike, but it's also a big departure from the gameplay of the original Elden Ring. If you've been on the fence, now is a great time to give it a chance, as the Amazon-exclusive Elden Ring: Nightreign Deluxe Edition is discounted to $45 for Big Deals Days. This retailer-exclusive edition offers access to post-launch DLC, a mini digital soundtrack, and a digital art book. It also comes with an exclusive poster of Nightreign's key art in the box. The deal applies to PS5 or Xbox Series X of the game--but it's only available during Prime Big Deal Days on October 7 and 8.

Elden Ring Nightreign $45 (was $55)

While the combat mechanics in Nightreign are identical to Elden Ring, the overall structure is where you'll see some big differences. Players team up, choose a boss they want to fight, and then set off on an expedition that takes around 35- to 45-minutes to complete. This journey is split across three in-game days, as during the day your team will explore the land of Limveld--an alternate version of Elden Ring's Limgrave--and level up for the fight ahead of them.

Before your squad gets to the main boss, they'll have to take on smaller bosses as the map closes in on them, and on the third day, the grand showdown begins. This core gameplay loop has gone over well with fans, and it has been further polished with post-launch support since then.

"Elden Ring's DNA is ever-present, but Nightreign is also a game of striking subversions: a From Software game that asks you to play it unconventionally, disregarding meticulous exploration, isolation, and measured combat for a cooperative multiplayer game built on speed and aggression. In many ways, it's the antithesis of what people typically come to From Software games for, and yet somehow, someway, this experimental non-sequel is an absolute triumph," Richard Wakeling wrote in GameSpot's Elden Ring: Nightrein review.

Elden Ring Nightreign For PS5 Elden Ring Nightreign for Xbox Series X

If you haven't played it yet, the original Elden Ring game is also on sale. Amazon is offering the PS4 physical edition for $30 (was $40), while the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions have been discounted to $40 (were $50). If you're planning to play on PS5, the PS4 deal is the best one here because Bandai Namco released a free upgrade for it a few years ago. This added an optional performance mode on PS5 that targets 60fps, increased graphical quality, ray tracing, and several other tweaks to Elden Ring's visuals. Elden Ring is considered to be one of From Software's greatest games, and is well worth picking up while it's discounted.
