A Certain Scientific Railgun DVDs 1 and 2
Sometimes spin-offs can be better than the original, and this A Certain Magical Index offshoot is one such case. Though not spectacular in any respect, it offers solid, consistent entertainment with flashes of stronger content.
Sometimes spin-
Shakugan no Shana S BD+DVD
The three stories in the OVA vary widely in tone and quality, as well as importance to the franchise, making this feel a lot more like a supplementary disc than a self-contained release.

Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan Blu-Ray
Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan's first thirteen episodes are surprisingly low-key and comfortable while still containing enough action to keep the viewer interested.
Hiiro no Kakera Blu-Ray
This awkward, dully repetitive reverse-harem series is rife with all kinds of storytelling and pacing problems. Its pretty guys and pretty scenery are all that it is worth watching for.
Battle Angel Alita: Last Order GN 17
The ZOTT tournament concludes in dramatic fashion, in the process partially or completely resolving most outstanding plot threads, as the franchise reaches a major turning point.

Umineko WHEN THEY CRY Episode 1: Legend of the Golden Witch GN 2
Since this is a question arc rather than an answer, it has an ending that is far from conclusive. However this “bad end” still provides both us and the characters some important information to be carried over into the next part of the story.

Pandora's Tower
The Wii couldn't ask for a better closing line than Pandora's Tower. Despite rough appearances, it does precisely what it needs to do with its unique combat and somber touches.

Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt Blu-Ray
It's the kind of show you want very badly to encourage: fearlessly different, madly inventive. But it goes so very, very wrong. If you must watch, plan carefully. It's a real liability having to walk around for days with a convulsive grimace stuck on your face.
Blue Exorcist GN 9
Even without any plot-altering twists, this volume offers enough entertainment value, whether it's through flashy spirit-powered battles or the personal struggles of the main characters.
Even without any plot-
Bleach GN 55
At last it begins: Bleach's final arc. This volume falls back on old mainstays—high-octane fight scenes and dramatic visuals—hoping that readers will stay interested long enough to see what happens next.
