Attack on Titan
Despite some significant recurring problems, this tale about humanity defending against giant humanoids intent on eating them is an intense, visceral, and graphic thrill ride which features some of anime's most effectively creepy monsters.

sole penetra le illusioni ~ Day Break Illusion 7 - 13 streaming
Generally speaking, things are satisfactorily resolved, especially for Akari herself.

Bunny Drop GN 9
It may not be the ending many were hoping for, but Unita does wrap things up fairly well.

Queen's Blade: Rebellion Blu-Ray
Nudity and gorgeous female character designs abound in this newest installment in the Queen's Blade franchise, but the series has little else going for it beyond those and a good set of accompanying Extras.

My Neighbor Totoro Novel
The existence of this novel certainly doesn't "ruin" the greatness of the anime, and in some ways it even improves on the original.

Dengeki Daisy GN 12
Motomi may not quite know what genre she's writing any more, but she's still doing it well, and for a series twelve volumes into a story that resolved its starting plot books ago, that is nothing to sneeze at.

Dog & Scissors Episodes 1-12 Streaming
By most measures Dog & Scissors is a pretty bad series. So why is it so easy to like?

Rune Factory 4
There are bigger, prettier, and more refined experiences to be found elsewhere, but few games this year have the consistent rewards of Rune Factory 4.

Tiger & Bunny GN 3
The series is finally delivering on its promise of bold superhero action, with a substantial story to match.

rain
Rain is not aggressive, and it is certainly not intrusive, the TV screen like a window onto a rain-swept street, something we observe, but only barely interact with.

Pichi Pichi Pitch GN 2
Mermaid Melody might be able to exist peacefully as fare for females under ten, but for any other audience, it falls pretty short of the “worth-reading” mark.
