Neon Genesis Evangelion [Omnibus] GN 3
In this volume, Evangelion plunges further into darkness (in a good way), proving why it remains one of the most talked-about series of all time.

Red Data Girl
A timid, sheltered girl discovers that she's the host for a powerful supernatural entity in a dark, moody drama laden with Eastern mysticism. Though still good, the series falls short of its great potential due to some late missteps.

Space Brothers Episodes 39-51 Streaming
The first of these arcs is a mission-gone-wrong adventure that distinguishes itself with winding tension, solid psychology, and fine attention to detail; the second, however, falls right back into the show's stolidly entertaining astronauts-in-training rut.

Majestic Prince Episodes 1 - 6 Streaming
Overall it is easy to see that Majestic Prince is trying. At this point whether or not it succeeds is up to the tastes of the individual viewer, but with the vague but troubling sensation that things could go wrong at any moment, there is enough to keep us watching.

Valvrave the Liberator episodes 1-6
While this original effort by Sunrise does borrow heavily from other mecha and general sci fi series, it is at times spectacularly unpredictable and enthusiastically ridiculous. Even veteran mecha fans should find at least a few weird, new twists here.

Tobikage episodes 1 - 7 Streaming
Tobikage isn't the best show out there in terms of animation, plot, or overall coherency, but it is absolutely a ton of fun.

Sengoku Basara: The Last Party BD+DVD
One of those blustery, everyone-fights-everyone-else action movies that turns out way more enjoyable than it deserves to be.

HENNEKO Episodes 1-7 Streaming
A kind of modern moe fairy tale where characters are built from prefab personality traits that can be swapped in and out like customizable car parts. Surprisingly fun, actually.

The Last of Us
The Last of Us is about the thick skin we've built for ourselves and, underneath that, the places where we secret our hurt.

Lagrange: The Flower of Rin-ne Blu-Ray
This first season is unlikely to blow anyone away, as it is competent in most respects but neither exceptional nor original in any of them, except perhaps in casting the mecha battles as pretty boys on one side vs. cute/sexy girls on the other.

Welcome to the N.H.K. GN 3
As an examination of the human psyche's dark side, this series is second to none.
