Answerman - Some People Can't Carry iTunes
Lots of questions about iTunes and the world of legal anime on the internet this week! 2013-10-11

rain
Rain is not aggressive, and it is certainly not intrusive, the TV screen like a window onto a rain-swept street, something we observe, but only barely interact with.

Love Lab Episodes 1-13 Streaming
At its best when devising weird new delusions for its cast of romance obsessives to explore, reveling in Maki's sheer strangeness, or just lining up gags about family, friends, and schoolgirl life.

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.

Munto DVD
Setting up a good fantasy world often takes lots of back-story, and there just isn't enough room in this OAV to do it. The mundane worries of a middle-school girl are far more relatable, and that's the part of Munto that shines.
