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.

Love Lab Episodes 1-13 Streaming
At its best when devising weird new delusions for its cast of romance obsessives to explore, reveling in Maki's sheer strangeness, or just lining up gags about family, friends, and schoolgirl life.

The Future Diary Complete Series DVD
Snowballs from one bad decision to another, not content to be only merely bad but really most sincerely bad, and by the end, it is irrevocably memorable.

Fantasista Doll Episodes 1-12 Streaming
Earnest and cute, Fantasista is magical girl entertainment aimed squarely at actual girls. It wanders for quite a while through the usual fluff, but pulls together nicely towards the end.

AKB0048: Season 1 Blu-Ray
This 2012 series about a far-future incarnation of Japanese idol group sensation AKB48 is basically a fanciful advertising vehicle for the current group, but the series has good enough storytelling and production values to hold the interest of newcomers.

Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl
There's an easy case for why they've released two EO games this year: they're both excellent.

Sunday Without God
Don't let the über–moe heroine fool you; this is actually a high-concept series which takes a surprisingly thoughtful, emotional, and even occasionally beautiful approach to exploring one of the most intriguing worlds in recent memory.

Claymore GN 14
Galatea reappears, old supporting characters return, and a new Awakened Being arrives, but the too-short core story struggles in the near-total absence of its original main heroines. Included are two notable backstory chapters.
