Majestic Prince Episodes 1 - 6 Streaming
Overall it is easy to see that Majestic Prince is trying. At this point whether or not it succeeds is up to the tastes of the individual viewer, but with the vague but troubling sensation that things could go wrong at any moment, there is enough to keep us watching.

Valvrave the Liberator episodes 1-6
While this original effort by Sunrise does borrow heavily from other mecha and general sci fi series, it is at times spectacularly unpredictable and enthusiastically ridiculous. Even veteran mecha fans should find at least a few weird, new twists here.

Tobikage episodes 1 - 7 Streaming
Tobikage isn't the best show out there in terms of animation, plot, or overall coherency, but it is absolutely a ton of fun.

Sengoku Basara: The Last Party BD+DVD
One of those blustery, everyone-fights-everyone-else action movies that turns out way more enjoyable than it deserves to be.

HENNEKO Episodes 1-7 Streaming
A kind of modern moe fairy tale where characters are built from prefab personality traits that can be swapped in and out like customizable car parts. Surprisingly fun, actually.

The Last of Us
The Last of Us is about the thick skin we've built for ourselves and, underneath that, the places where we secret our hurt.

Lagrange: The Flower of Rin-ne Blu-Ray
This first season is unlikely to blow anyone away, as it is competent in most respects but neither exceptional nor original in any of them, except perhaps in casting the mecha battles as pretty boys on one side vs. cute/sexy girls on the other.

Remember Me
Underneath all the explosive polygons and proper nouns, Remember Me is a game that has no idea what it's actually about.

The Princess and the Pilot [Premium Edition] Sub.Blu-Ray
A half-breed pilot is tasked with secretly transporting a future Empress across thousands of miles of open ocean in this 2011 movie from Madhouse. Its simple, straightforward tale offers some great highlights.

Tiger & Bunny Blu-Ray 2
Interesting character developments and comic book-style twists are the norm in this generally fun second half. Some may find the plot twists to be irksome, but they don't keep it from being entertaining.

Higurashi: When They Cry GN 17
With heightened awareness of the situations facing them and a race to beat Rena to the edge, Higurashi's Atonement Arc is racing towards its finish. With many clues to solving the mysteries of both Rika and Oyashiro-sama's curse, the series remains compelling and chilling.
