Higurashi: When They Cry GN 14
The final volume of the first of Higurashi: When They Cry's answer arcs is a heart-wrenching, gut-churning compilation of images that will remain burned into your eyes long after the final page is turned. Ryukishi07 does answer the central questions posed in the “Cotton Drifting Arc," but not the main mystery behind the entire series of Hinamizawa murders.

Higurashi When They Cry: Demon Exposing Arc GN
You do not have to be a follower of Higurashi to understand the story. For regular readers, some of the people and events will make more sense, but if you're curious about the series and don't know if you want to commit to it, this is a good way to find out.

Gantz Blu-Ray/DVD (live-action)
Hiroya Oku's dark, violent manga comes to life in a stripped down version which looks surprisingly good and packs solid action content but is also weakly acted and makes some unwelcome changes.

Tiger & Bunny Episodes 14-20 Streaming
While Kotetsu is grappling with his future, Barnaby is grappling with his past, and when the two collide, their lives upend themselves—along with the series.

Allison & Lillia Generation 2 Sub.DVD
The focus shifts to the next generation (but the originals are still involved) as the daughter and son of the first half's two main couples team up for a new round of adventures, humor, and romance. If you enjoyed the first half then you should enjoy this half, too.

Sacred Seven Episodes 1-7 Streaming
If you can make it to the point where it dawns on you that, hey, maybe that maid army at the beginning wasn't supposed to be taken seriously, then you've got some happy times ahead.

Grand Guignol Orchestra GN 4
Deeply Gothic, nicely mysterious, and well – if not somewhat confusingly – drawn, this penultimate volume moves us rapidly towards an ending that may very well mimic those of many of the original fairy tales.

Queen's Blade 2: The Evil Eye part 2
The Queen's Blade competition wraps up as the final battles are fought. Although the content may be inseparably rooted in fan service, the final six episodes still show that some satisfying storytelling is possible.

RIN-NE GN 6
RIN-NE is a fun take on the supernatural school story, and if it isn't innovative or a work of staggering genius, it does show us why Rumiko Takahashi still sells – the woman can keep you reading.

Vampire Knight GN 12
After dragging the characters into their future and radically rewriting their relationships and relative positions last volume, it's a bit of surprise to discover that this volume is as timid as it is.
