posted on 2007-05-09 09:16 EDT
Shonen Jump dominates another week, as seven current or former Weekly Shonen Jump titles fill the top ten chart, including the top three slots. The deluxe reprinting of Rurouni Kenshin continues to do well, almost eight years after the series officially ended.

Sailor Moon GN 8 -
Kids on the Slope Blu-
One Piece DVD Season 4 Part 4When the set ends, it's on a note of combined hope and sadness that drives us onto the next volume as surely as the mounting disasters of last volume drove us to this one.
Baka and Test OVA BD+DVDYou may not get anything substantial from this brief OVA, but it's a lot of fun to watch regardless.
Vampire Knight GN 15 & 16Overall these are both a good read and may help to renew flagging interest in the saga, particularly if you keep paying close attention to the details. The devil may not be in there, but some of the plot threads most certainly are.

Flowers of Evil reveals adolescent sexuality for what it really is: desperate, awkward, even embarrassing. These emotional mind games are what make the story irresistible.

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.
