Manga Entertainment co-founder Marvin Gleicher plans animated work for 2010
Marvin Media LLC, the new venture by former Manga Entertainment CEO Marvin Gleicher, has announced that Gleicher is producing a feature with director Keiichi Satou (Karas creator and animation director on Wolf's Rain, The Big O, Giant Robo) and screenwriter Manabu Ishikawa (Mononoke, Fullmetal Alchemist). Marvin Media describes Floating Moon as "an original environmentally aware sci-fi" feature based on a story by Paul Kanter. The project, which also includes producer Hisashi Oguchi, is targeting a 2010 release.
Gleicher co-founded the North American division of Manga Entertainment in 1994 and presided over the company until 2005. He then served as Vice President of DVD Content Acquisition at Navarre Corporation (Funimation's corporate parent) from 2006 to 2007. Besides Floating Moon, Marvin Media is also producing a 26-episode animated television comedy called High Def for Island Def Jam Music Group.

Severing Crime Edge Episodes 1-
Time and EternityTime and Eternity's attempt at playing anime falls to ruin at every point. Hoping to fuse games and animation into a revolutionary RPG, it instead picks terrible ingredients from both worlds.
Another DVDAnother may have its faults, such as some of the imagery and some clues being almost too obscure, as well as one or two clearly contrived plot points, but on the whole it is a well done mystery/
Project X ZoneProject X Zone is a bit too comfortable in its fantasy fulfillment. A hectic battle system builds up, but the energy fades well before the game's over. All that stays are the geek pleasures of seeing dozens of previously unacquainted characters bounce off one another.
Shin Megami Tensei IVShin 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.
The Wallflower DVD 1This kooky take on standard shojo “reverse harem” story structures storms onto the small screen and demands your attention, thanks to a gloriously ridiculous adaptation which proves to be an unexpectedly fun view.
