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.

Michiko & Hatchin BD+DVD
Because it's so different, because it does so many things that you wish anime would do more often, you want to love it. But the best you can do is like it.

The Wonderful 101
The Wonderful 101 is the best we've seen out of the action genre since Bayonetta, and a hell of an argument for the WiiU all by itself.

Fairy Tail BD+DVD 6
Most folks enjoy flashy battles and feel-good endings, and the unexpected wrinkles in the story—secret bad-guy motives, magical traps, personal flashbacks—keep the action from getting too stale.

One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2
Eventually killing fifteen hundred or two thousand enemies per level stops being novel and starts feeling mundane, and it's hard to imagine anyone using that word to describe One Piece.

Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? Episodes 1-6 Streaming
A demented combination of magical girls, gory black humor, and sometimes disturbing horror, Zombie always seems on the verge of blowing apart under the pressure of its own insanity and yet never does.
