Recent Reviews

Eden of the East: Paradise Lost Blu-Ray + DVD
Eden of the East: Paradise Lost brings the entire saga to a close in a flash of brilliance, with a few occasional flaws. If the execution is less than perfect, the ideas behind it are more than big enough to compensate.

Amagami SS Sub.DVD 1
A high school boy explores love with three different girls in three alternate-timeline arcs in this dating sim adaptation. Its humor, drama, and fan service elements are not pronounced enough to hold the interest of those not enthralled by its romantic developments.

Steins;Gate Episodes 1-24 Streaming
This is a story all its own, with likable characters that can't be found anywhere else and a number of wild, mind-bending twists that will leave viewers hooked.

Usagi Drop Episodes 1-11 Streaming
Lesser dramas are strawberry-flavored candies; Usagi Drop is the strawberry itself.

Itazura na Kiss GN 6
Itazura na Kiss' sixth volume is one of the best to date. It is funny, touching, and romantic. More than anything, this volume shows why the series has such enduring popularity across Asia, and hopefully will continue to grow its fanbase here in the western world.

Baka and Test Blu-Ray + DVD
This comedy about a class of low achievers using battles of summoned avatars to improve their class's conditions is not among the year's best anime titles, but it is certainly one of the year's funniest and most fun series.

Sailor Moon GN 1
This rerelease of Takeuchi's best-loved work is one that many fans have been waiting for. Apart from a few technical glitches in the translation, it fulfills those dreams. Whether you're a new fan, an old one, or just someone who wants to know why on earth all those old(er!) people are so excited about this book, it is well worth reading.

Noir DVD
One of the preeminent “girls with guns” series is back in circulation in Funimation's rerelease of this strong, stylish 2001 series about a pair of female assassins searching for answers to the mysteries that bind them. Unfortunately it lacks some of the original Extras.

MM! Sub.DVD
Can a series about a group of rowdy perverts be sensitive and intelligent? Maybe, but you wouldn't know it from MM!.

Spice and Wolf II Blu-Ray + DVD
Combines a honed narrative sense with a greater focus on Holo and Lawrence's relationship to create a sophisticated cinematic confection the quality of which is quite simply beyond denial.

Phoenix DVD 1
The opening, in which science, religion, mythology, and nature flow one into the next, really says it all. An ambitious work, perfect for those looking for something that at least tries to be more than a simple diversion.
