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.

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.

Death Note DVD Box Set 1
This collection covers the first half of the popular suspense series. That's twenty episodes of self-centered asses duking it out with their brains while peons die like flies. Undeniably engrossing but highly off-putting.
