RIGHT TURN ONLY!! - Hop, Skip, and a Beat
manga
There's lots of acting in this edition of Right Turn Only with new volumes of Skip Beat and Voice Over, but hopefully there won't be any acting up over Rebecca's ridiculous love for an OFL series that is definitely a little suspicious. All that plus Terra Formars!

D-Frag! GN 1
manga
Though reused, the jokes are funny, and the characters are all weird enough to make reading about them amusing.
― When we talk about “de-fragging” a computer, it is generally understood that we are clearing away the clutter of fragmented files in order to make the machine run more efficiently. That is not the case for this manga. D-Frag is the bizarre, tumultuous tale of Kenji Kazama, a spiky- haired...

Date A Live BD+DVD 1-4
anime
A harem series that gets some credit for trying something at least a little different and has periods where it can be entertaining, but it is ultimately the victim of its own devices.
― In the mid-2000s the American TV series Heroes pitched its first season with the catchy tag line “Save The Cheerleader, Save The World,” which did, in fact, form an overly brief summary of the first season's main plot...

― Like so many other columns, this one was originally gonna be about something completely different. I'd like to do another artist spotlight, maybe on Buichi Terasawa, but I really need to see more of his work. I just worry that I can't be totally informed if I haven't watched that garbag...
The Heroic Legend of Arslan GN 1
anime
The storyline for this first volume is a strange combination of many things happening and very little happening at all.
― If you remember the six-part OAV adaptation of Yoshiki Tanaka's original The Heroic Legend of Arslan novels, Hiromu Arakawa's manga version is likely to look a little strange to you. Her distinctive art style is a far cry from Sachiko Kamimura's early-90s designs (themselves adapt...
