Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt Blu-Ray
It's the kind of show you want very badly to encourage: fearlessly different, madly inventive. But it goes so very, very wrong. If you must watch, plan carefully. It's a real liability having to walk around for days with a convulsive grimace stuck on your face.

Blue Exorcist GN 9
Even without any plot-altering twists, this volume offers enough entertainment value, whether it's through flashy spirit-powered battles or the personal struggles of the main characters.

Bleach GN 55
At last it begins: Bleach's final arc. This volume falls back on old mainstays—high-octane fight scenes and dramatic visuals—hoping that readers will stay interested long enough to see what happens next.

Hiroaki Samura's Emerald and Other Stories GN
“Strangely fascinating” is the best way to describe Samura's book. It has no real unifying themes or features other than Samura's art, which can get crowded at times, but it is consistently worth reading.

Alice in the Country of Joker: Circus and Liar's Game GN 1
So far Circus and Liar's Game is an interesting break from the franchise's formula, focusing on Alice having to exist successfully in a carnivalesque environment without also being forced to choose a man. While this may very well change, at this point the story has an intriguing darker feel to it that nicely shakes up the expectations established by earlier franchise entries.

Ixion Saga DT Episodes 13-25 Streaming
With its twenty-fifth episode, Ixion Saga DT comes to a close, wrapping up most major loose ends in a kind of neat bow. For a series that was almost entirely devoid of serious moments, it managed to maintain a momentum that is impressive.

Higurashi: When They Cry GN 21
The final volume in Higurashi: When They Cry's penultimate arc is both one of the most satisfying and the most disturbing books in the series to date.

Shin Megami Tensei: Soul Hackers
Soul Hackers is interesting in a lot of ways, but it can be difficult to distinguish what makes it interesting as an artifact and what makes it interesting as a game.

Heaven's Lost Property the Movie: The Angeloid of Clockwork BD+DVD
Though it expands the story of Tomoki and the Angeloids and answers a big mystery, only half of the content is original and little of it is better than TV series quality in production standards.

Amnesia episodes 7 - 12 streaming
Ultimately Amnesia ends as it began – fascinating in the same way a loose tooth is, but the payout when you finally get rid of it doesn't feel like enough.

Tokyo Underground
The best looking title from Tokyo Night Train's first set of releases was promising and looked like it could be exciting and fun. That was until we reviewed it...
