Sankarea: Undying Love GN 1 Tragicomedy is not unknown in the manga realm, and Sankarea just may be a very good entry into that genre, and this introductory volume offers us sadness, hope, and humor with a dollop of fanservice to top it off.
Naruto Shippūden DVD Set 14 A perfect storm of drama and action, back-story and plot advancement, and some surprisingly deep thoughts on what it means to strive for peace.
Devil Survivor 2 The Animation Streaming All in all this is a fairly solid bit of entertainment. If you like your stories dark with a glimmer of hope, Devil Survivor 2 should fit the bill.
Severing Crime Edge Episodes 1-6 Streaming Hops with visible gusto from fetish to fetish, from perversion to perversion—all while maintaining a disturbing romanticism that embraces all the twisted, sick, and unpleasant forms that love can take.
Time and Eternity Time 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 DVD Another 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/horror hybrid.
Project X Zone Project 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 IV Shin 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.
Slam Dunk GN 16 Slam Dunk takes something of a detour in Volume 16 ... but without our red-headed hero getting into the thick of the action, it feels like just a sideshow instead of the main event.
