Shin Megami Tensei IV Shin Megami Tensei IV's incrementally improved (and substantially kinder) mechanics may make it worth playing for lapsed fans who are burned out on the series, but anyone looking for the next Persona will come away disappointed.
Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet Ultimately this “stranger in a strange land” scenario from the Spring 2013 season is more an example of a series which fails to be spectacular than one which fails to be good.
Blade of the Immortal GN 25-26 Less satisfying and less artful than the Prison Arc, but when this new arc tightens its focus for a gore-soaked climax, it's still potent, frightening stuff.
Zero's Familiar [Omnibus] GN 1-3 The story struggles between catering to harem fans and not sticking to the genre's conventions, creating a charming love story and overemphasizing Louise's tsundere qualities, and building a believable world and throwing magic jargon at the reader. The result is a book that is fun to read in small doses and kind of annoying at the same time.
Majestic Prince Episodes 7 - 12 Streaming “Heart” may be an overused term, but Majestic Prince has it in spades as it continues to probe the problems of its world and to develop its protagonists, and that alone is really worth watching.
Uta no Prince-sama - Maji Love 2000% Streaming On the whole, UtaPri 2 is the proverbial spoonful of sugar to offset the medicine of your day. The plot is lacking, the color scheme is insane, and there's enough cheese here to make nachos for a hundred, but despite all of that it is still an awful lot of fun.
A Certain Scientific Railgun S eps 1-12 When is it acceptable for a series to deviate from an established, successful formula? When the franchise's most compelling storyline and some of the franchise's most high-powered esper-on-esper battles to date are involved.
Kill Me Baby DVD An idiot, an assassin, and a supposed ninja all get into random antics at and away from their high school in this gag comedy series. Some jokes get repetitive or never hit the mark, but mostly it is a rather funny diversion.
Momo: The Girl God of Death DVD A cute shinigami girl helps youths who have recently lost loved ones in this 2006 series. Though its six stories clearly strive for substance, they more commonly go down like cotton candy: sweet enough and tasty enough but definitely not filling.
Devil is a Part-Timer! Episodes 1-13 Streaming Smart and finely balanced; calculated yet seemingly effortless; funny and self-deprecating and secretly substantial. In short: great, guilt-free fun.
