The Future Diary Complete Series DVD
Snowballs from one bad decision to another, not content to be only merely bad but really most sincerely bad, and by the end, it is irrevocably memorable.

Fantasista Doll Episodes 1-12 Streaming
Earnest and cute, Fantasista is magical girl entertainment aimed squarely at actual girls. It wanders for quite a while through the usual fluff, but pulls together nicely towards the end.

AKB0048: Season 1 Blu-Ray
This 2012 series about a far-future incarnation of Japanese idol group sensation AKB48 is basically a fanciful advertising vehicle for the current group, but the series has good enough storytelling and production values to hold the interest of newcomers.

Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl
There's an easy case for why they've released two EO games this year: they're both excellent.

Sunday Without God
Don't let the über–moe heroine fool you; this is actually a high-concept series which takes a surprisingly thoughtful, emotional, and even occasionally beautiful approach to exploring one of the most intriguing worlds in recent memory.

Daily Lives of High School Boys Blu-Ray
Daily Lives of High School Boys is one of the funnier shows to get an English-language release recently.

Hyperdimension Neptunia Episodes 1-6 Streaming
Neptunia may be about the least promising series to ever be barfed out by the gaming/anime complex, but once it gets its legs under it, it's a surprisingly engaging little adventure.

Voice Over! Seiyu Academy GN 1
Voice Over is off to a good start with a story that gets increasingly interesting as the book goes on and a heroine who is easy to get behind.

Michiko & Hatchin BD+DVD
Because it's so different, because it does so many things that you wish anime would do more often, you want to love it. But the best you can do is like it.

The Wonderful 101
The Wonderful 101 is the best we've seen out of the action genre since Bayonetta, and a hell of an argument for the WiiU all by itself.

Shin Megami Tensei: Kahn GN 1
With its generic demon-hunting story, uninteresting characters, and hideously awkward art, the first volume of Shin Megami Tensei: Kahn ought to be exorcised from this world.
