Voice Over! Seiyu Academy GN 1
Voice Over is off to a good start with a story that gets increasingly interesting as the book goes on and a heroine who is easy to get behind.

Michiko & Hatchin BD+DVD
Because it's so different, because it does so many things that you wish anime would do more often, you want to love it. But the best you can do is like it.

The Wonderful 101
The Wonderful 101 is the best we've seen out of the action genre since Bayonetta, and a hell of an argument for the WiiU all by itself.

Fairy Tail BD+DVD 6
Most folks enjoy flashy battles and feel-good endings, and the unexpected wrinkles in the story—secret bad-guy motives, magical traps, personal flashbacks—keep the action from getting too stale.

One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2
Eventually killing fifteen hundred or two thousand enemies per level stops being novel and starts feeling mundane, and it's hard to imagine anyone using that word to describe One Piece.

Dirty Pair Sub.DVD
Whether you like older anime, are a Dirty Pair fan, or just like shows about women with guns who blow stuff up, there's something to enjoy in this lower-priced edition of Nozomi's release of the classic series.

From Up On Poppy Hill BD+DVD
Sentimental filmmaking in the very best sense: moving and deeply nostalgic yet winningly underplayed.

07-Ghost GN 6
With this volume, 07-Ghost proves that the storyline can change gears and still come up with something compelling and meaningful.

Toriko GN 17
Although Toriko is still very much about eating, fighting, and exploring, it breaks new ground in Volume 17—a giant waterfall emerges as Toriko's next great foe.

Tiger & Bunny Comic Anthology GN 1
These bite-sized fragments of the Tiger & Bunny universe are no substitute for the real deal.
