Venus Wars DVD
This 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 DVD
The show has an interesting plot, good character interactions, an ominous air, and a light shounen-ai element to it, though this should not scare off those who dislike the genre. Sadly beautiful in places, hauntingly violent in others, No. 6's eleven episodes worth your time.

Fairy Tail GN 20
All 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-Ray
This 2011 series about a boy who gets involved with a NEET Detective Agency has some silly content but mostly takes its subject matter seriously, resulting in well-written, well-conceived, and sometimes compelling stories.

Resident Evil 6
Resident 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."

Sailor Moon GN 5 - 7
As Naoko Takeuchi's classic forges ahead, expanding its mythology and mingling magic with science, it continues to be a highly enjoyable read.

Sword Art Online eps. 8-14
The main story takes over and leads the eponymous game setting to a surprising resolution as the first story arc completes. Ultimately dramatic key events and broad story themes carry the series despite weak writing.

Space Brothers Episodes 14-26 Streaming
If the drawn-out third stage of Space Brothers' astronaut test tells us anything, it's that the verve of the series' opening shouldn't be taken for granted.

One Piece: Pirate Warriors
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 World Series DVD
Hetalia's schtick is wearing a little thin, but it still provides some good laughs and an entertaining glance at history.

Buddha GN 1
Don't just read this because the smart people tell you to—read it because it's really, really good.
