Deadly Premonition: The Director's Cut Deadly Premonition's greatest achievement is that it is exactly the quality of some of the shlocky B-movies that inspired it.
Hyakko Sub.DVD A friends-at-school comedy that proves more interested in becoming a kind of platonic, friendship-based harem series than an exploration of the characters or their relationships.
Tenchi Muyo! War on Geminar BD+DVD This standalone extension of the Tenchi Muyo! franchise does offer significant entertainment value, but in almost every aspect it lacks the energy and enthusiasm necessary to actually be a good series.
The Rose of Versailles Sub.DVD It is easy to see why The Rose of Versailles is held in such high esteem. Emotional, historical, and beautiful to watch, the show brings the last years of the French monarchy to life in the best anime style.
Dusk maiden of Amnesia Blu-Ray A high school boy befriends a sexy female ghost in this eclectic mix of comedy, romance, drama, and horror. Its success at all four, combined with inventive artistry and a strong musical score, makes this one of 2012's best anime series.
Hakuōki: A Memory of Snow Flowers DVD 1-2 This six-episode OVA story fills in a time gap in the first series by looking at certain incidents from multiple different angles. Though hardly crucial viewing, fans of the franchise should find this satisfying.
Attack on Titan episodes 1-6 A young man tries to battle back against giant humanoids who feast on humans in this graphic, visceral, and fantastically intense action/horror story. Its great strengths overcome writing and production value inconsistencies.
Blood-C BD+DVD ... either one of the most brilliantly shocking horror series ever created, or one of the biggest practical jokes ever played on an anime-viewing audience.
Tsubasa, RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE GN 16 When it comes to clarity and making sense, this volume is kind of a mess, but what a dramatic and beautiful mess it is.
