Venus Wars DVDThis popular late '80s movie is back in print for the first time in nine years and looks better than ever. The story may be weak, but is action elements and mechanical designs justify its relatively cheap price.
No. 6 DVDThe show has an interesting plot, good character interactions, an ominous air, and a light shounen-
Fairy Tail GN 20All in all, Fairy Tail's twentieth volume offers a mix of emotional content, humor, and a bit of action, as well as a chance for Mashima to show off his landscape skills and to defy gravity with a couple of Lucy's shirts.
Heaven's Memo Pad Blu-
Resident Evil 6Resident Evil 6 does have its hints of inspiration, but enthusiasm for these things is difficult to muster, stultified by the congo line of scripted events. Interesting segments exist, but they are in tiny bits and pieces, and the rest of the game is the part where you think "thank god that's over, I never want to do that again."
As Naoko Takeuchi's classic forges ahead, expanding its mythology and mingling magic with science, it continues to be a highly enjoyable read.
You can't say One Piece: Pirate Warriors is a bad game, it's not, but you can say this: in a world where no one has infinite free time, what is the point of playing a mundane game when there is a nearly insurmountable supply of truly excellent ones?
Hetalia's schtick is wearing a little thin, but it still provides some good laughs and an entertaining glance at history.
Hanaukyo Maid Team: La Verite DVD 2Although this second volume does show sparks of humor and some hints of developing a plot in its later stages, it is not enough to save a generally shallow, generic, and uninspired series. It is still primarily a series for those with fetishes for maid outfits and fans of “harem” romantic comedies.
