The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya Blu-Ray + DVD While this continuation of the popular franchise may be overly long and likely inscrutable to the casual viewer, it provides plentiful eye and storytelling candy for dedicated franchise fans. Bandai's release includes hours of Extras.
Amagami SS Sub.DVD Four additional girls get their turns as Junichi's romantic interests in three full and two one-shot story arcs. The fifth and sixth full arcs are definite improvements.
Arisa GN 3 Overall this volume of Arisa is slightly less thrilling than its predecessors with a more contrived feel. But it is still an interesting story with a central mystery worth solving. Ando's use of the cult-like King Time is especially convincing in a middle school setting, and the addictive quality of the king himself remains a compelling mystery that readers will still want to solve.
Stepping on Roses GN 6 Stepping on Roses is a romance novel, and as a genre piece, it succeeds totally. If you are fan of Boys Over Flowers or Hot Gimmick, you'll find a lot to enjoy here. On the other hand, if romances are not your bag, then this is not the series for you. You have been advised.
Fairy Tail GN 14 After volume 13's lackluster arc transition, volume 14 makes a rip-roaring comeback into everything that makes Hiro Mashima's magical extravaganza so much fun. There is no cessation of action in this installment, which in some ways is all about the ladies.
La Corda d'Oro GN 14 While not the finest example of shoujo manga out there, or even of how enjoyable this series can be, La Corda's fourteenth volume is still good enough to read. “Less good” is still “okay” as far as this book is concerned, and this is still interesting and moderately engaging.
Higurashi: When They Cry GN 15 The Atonement arc is considered one of the most intense, and series creator Ryukishi07 comments that heroine Rena embodies the world of the story like no other character, a girl trying to be normal in a world that won't allow it.
Rosario + Vampire Season II GN 6 If there was any hope that Rosario + Vampire Season II was going to develop into something more serious, those hopes are pretty much dashed by the brainless antics in this volume.
Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere Episodes 1-6 Streaming The problem with trying to appeal to every fan ... is that you end up with a hulking mess where none of the tropes fit in with each other. In other words, you end up with Horizon.
Berserk GN 35 Berserk is unwinding here, delivering uncomplicated entertainment after volumes of intricate, epic storytelling.
Tears To Tiara BLURAY This mix of Arthurian legend with elements of Celtic, Greek, and Christian mythology succeeds because it does not aspire to be anything other than what it is: a simple, sometimes rousing, and usually straightforward story designed to entertain fans of fantasy RPGs. This time around it even has a decent English dub.
