Killer is Dead Grasshopper's motto is "punk's not dead," but Killer is Dead forces the question "which parts are punk and which parts are pandering?"
Sword Art Online Blu-Ray 1 Sword Art Online isn't the most perfectly written show and it suffers from a few logical issues that can distract from the enjoyment of what is otherwise a fun, interesting tale of an RPG gone real.
Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan GN 16 Usually, a manga volume that catches the end of one story arc and the start of another ends up being a mixed bag of plot points—but this one keeps a steady focus on where it's headed.
Case Closed GN 47 Volume forty-seven of Case Closed continues the series' tradition of difficult but plausible mysteries and stylized artwork that makes for entertaining reading.
Wolfsmund GN 1 Wolfsmund pulls few punches and hits you in the gut.
Higurashi: When They Cry GN 25-26 The Festival Accompanying Arc is off to an interesting start, already full of early answers, and it is clearly going to take its time getting to June of 1983. This is both good and bad, as these are things we really want to (and need to) know, but also fosters a sort of impatience as we wait to get back to the point where we've been.

Gatchaman Crowds Episodes 1-7 Streaming Rarely has a series been so thoroughly dominated by its female lead. Like a mushroom cloud looming over your morning commute, it's hard to pay attention to anything else when Hajime's around.
Speed Grapher 3 LE The storytelling has improved, and the series offers just enough interesting content to keep fans following it, but based on its first half Speed Grapher will never be mistaken for a quality series.
