Ruin Explorers DVD
If you always thought about picking this title up but never got around to it then this is the version that you want. Newcomers will find a fun couple of fantasy adventure hours that will consistently entertain without straining your brain.

Flowers of Evil Episodes 1-13 Streaming
A work of piercing insight, staggering stylistic bravery, skillful narrative manipulation, and superbly nuanced characterization—all turned towards endlessly upsetting, disturbingly seductive ends.

Black Magic M-66 Sub.DVD
This early effort by the creator of Ghost in the Shell and Appleseed excels in its depiction of android vs. human combat, and is worth a recommendation on that alone, but offers little else.

Umineko WHEN THEY CRY Episode 2: Turn of the Golden Witch GN 1
With this omnibus, we find ourselves caring a lot more about what happens, not just in terms of the story, but to the characters as well.

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.

Peach Girl DVD 6
A surprisingly satisfying conclusion to an often wildly uneven series; strictly for viewers who love teen fiction for its over-dramatizing tendencies.
