Negima! GN 17
The battle for Mahora Academy is a moment where Ken Akamatsu threw in everything he could think of, and with the sheer level of grandeur and excitement, it actually works.

Witchblade DVD 6
With this potent and surprisingly emotional wrap-up, Gonzo has accomplished something truly remarkable here: it has taken a series that could have easily been a flashy but forgettable piece of trash and given it real heart and soul.

Buso Renkin DVD
An ordinary Joe (surprise!) is granted super-powers to fight an evil organization in this uninspired shounen fighting series. Benefits from a strong female lead, a down 'n dirty sense of humor, and a spot-on dub, but nonetheless remains derivative to its core.

Tokyopop Manga Creator 2
If you enter the program expecting a comprehensive imaging software package like Photoshop, you're bound to be disappointed. But if you're an aspiring young artist taking your first steps into the foray of comic creation, Manga Creator might not be a bad first step.

Kashimashi ~Girl Meets Girl~ GN 4 and 5
Despite dragging things out in the wake of a major previous plot revelation, these two volumes ultimately deliver a strongly dramatic and emotional resolution to the central love triangle. A solid ending for a lovely little yuri series.

Short Sunzen! GN 1
There are many ways to make a school romance work. This is not one of them.

Fruits Basket GN 19
For those who found the lengthy explorations of secondary characters and tantalizing glimpses of Kyo and Tohru's slowly evolving relationship in the last few volumes to be exquisite torture, this volume will be giddy, triple-hanky bliss.

Lucky Star DVD 1
Cute high school girls have stream-of-consciousness conversations essentially about nothing in this obsessively fan-pandering sketch comedy. Loads of anime, manga, and game references accompany sporadic humor.

Kujibiki Unbalance DVD 1
Colorful, hyperactive and intentionally crammed with abrasive clichés; more a comprehensive crash-course in otaku tastes than a narrative. Also contains a single, invaluable episode of the brilliant slice-of-otaku-life comedy Genshiken.

Simoun Sub.DVD 3
Despite only two episodes with true action, so much goes on that the content never gets dull. The romantic twists and turns, character development, and intriguing revelations all assure that viewers will want to keep coming back.

Inuyasha GN 23
If you're an Inuyasha fan who hasn't been keeping up with the manga, this is a great volume to snag just so you can see some of the differences between the manga and anime. For those who haven't kept up with the series or manga, feel free to thank Viz for making it impossible for you to jump in later in the game.
