Dictatorial Grimoire GN 1
With its messy layouts and tortured efforts to get male characters into clothes that vaguely resemble the Disney princess versions of fairy tale costumes, along with a plot that really doesn't get good until the end, Dictatorial Grimoire is a tough book to enjoy.

Eccentric Family Episodes 1-13 Streaming
A straightforward comedic romp. Chaotic and shot through with emotion, sure, and crowned with an unexpectedly intense finale, but elemental in its intent: to deliver great, guilt-free entertainment.

Sailor Moon Short Stories GN 1
While it is hard to say that the Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon short stories really enhance the overall Sailor Moon experience, they are still a fun addition to the series.

Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya
This alternate take on the Fate/stay night and Fate/Zero universe, focusing on Illyasviel von Einzbern becoming a magical girl, should satisfy fans of the franchise and provide a non-intimidating gateway into the franchise for newcomers.

GTO: Great Teacher Onizuka DVD
To enjoy it you need only be at peace with bad taste and familiar with the 20th Century plague of uplifting films about unconventional teachers helping troubled teens.

Tiger & Bunny the Movie: The Beginning Blu-Ray
This roughly even mix of the first two episodes of the TV series and new content successfully converts the series into movie format, making this one of the best efforts of its type to come along in quite some time.

Midnight Secretary GN 1
Sensual, fun, and about grown-up people who act their ages, Midnight Secretary is a classically plotted vampire romance that should please fans of the genre or just those who'd like a romance that's a little more adult.

Btooom! GN 3
Btooom is not going to be a series for everyone. A darker take on the “real life video game” genre, Inoue doesn't skimp on horrific details, be they violent or sexual.

Detroit Metal City GN 9
Volume 9 tries the same old tricks that worked before, with bizarrely-dressed rockers committing foul acts ... but what once was shockingly hilarious has sadly become stale.
