Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva DVD
This prequel movie for the highly-popular Nintendo DS puzzle adventure game series offers everything you'd expect: puzzles, adventure, and mystery. It also delivers a solid story once beyond the pure puzzle aspect.

My Boyfriend is a Vampire GN 1-2
My Boyfriend is a Vampire's first volume is a compulsively readable book that is just perfect for the holiday craziness with its smooth translation, easy layout, and dashes of both humor and masculine beauty.

Dawn of the Arcana GN 1
Dawn of the Arcana has immense popularity in Japan, and even though this is not the most exciting volume in the world, it is still easy to see why.

From Up On Poppy Hill
Whether or not Miyazaki Senior's presence made the difference, Poppy Hill feels like a fresh start for Goro Miyazaki.

Full Moon o Sagashite Episodes 40-52 Streaming
It may not be great anime, but it's the rare ending that can make you weep even as you roll your eyes.

Princess Knight GN 1
Princess Knight, despite its slow start, has a bit of everything that makes shoujo manga so much fun. While it very definitely bears the mark of the early 1960s in its heavy use of Christian iconography and gender stereotypes, Tezuka's pioneering shoujo work deserves the acclaim it has gotten.

Black Bird GN 11
Black Bird is still not an excellent series, but Sakurakoji has made strides in terms of removing this from the realm of terrible, and the new plotline has real promise.

Sailor Moon GN 2
Even if you're just in this series to see what all the fuss is about, stick around. As this volume indicates, things have only begun to move.

Documentary of AKB48: To Be Continued DVD
A gentle, slice-of-life film about a form of entertainment that is often the furthest thing from "real life."

Darker Than Black: Gemini of the Meteor + OVAs (Limited Edition) Blu-Ray + DVD
Though this follow-up story retains the style and action of the first series, its shift to focusing on a new female lead makes it an entirely different animal, one with a tighter and more focused story. Also includes the four-episode interim OVA series.

Full Metal Panic! Blu-Ray
Funimation's Blu-Ray upgrade for this early 2000s mecha action/romantic comedy series isn't much of an upgrade, but the source material's rare ability to successfully cross genre lines still makes it a highly entertaining series whose visuals have held up well.
