Sailor Moon GN 4
While the story still has its logical flaws, it remains an engaging read that holds up well despite the passing of years and this volume continues to keep up both the promise and nostalgia of Takeuchi's masterwork.

Pokemon Movie: Black Dub.DVD
Overall, neither Pokemon the Movie: Black or its White counterpart really stands out from the already packed herd. While not terrible, these are films that can be safely left alone unless you or your child have a compulsion to truly catch 'em all.

Medaka Box Episodes 1-6 Streaming
It turns out that the great NisiOisin/Gainax collaboration is just another mission-of-the-week comedy. Sad, that. And boring.

Hiiro no Kakera Episodes 1-6 Streaming
Hiiro no Kakera is by no means a terrible show...it just isn't a very good one, either. With a stilted script and a team of heroes who feel incompetent, not to mention cookie cutter characters who do little to make themselves endearing or unusual, it does nothing to elevate itself above the masses.

Bodacious Space Pirates Episodes 7-12 Streaming
Like the pirate she is, Marika is chasing space treasure this time around. At six episodes this arc is twice the size of any previous arc, but it fairly flies by. Not great, but darned fun.

Space Brothers Episodes 1-6 Streaming
As much a series about having dreams and struggling to fulfill them as it is about the wonder of space and the human urge to explore the unknown.

Ozma
A young man embarks on adventure when he saves a fleeing woman in this post-apocalyptic tale from the mind of Leiji Matsumoto. Despite strong production values, its lack of originality and time for proper development help prevent it from being memorable.

Guilty Crown Episodes 13-22 Streaming
Whatever else you think of it, Guilty Crown has guts. The whipsawing plot does things here that more timid shows wouldn't dare. Including, unfortunately, indulging the director's apparent hate of the human race.

Blue Exorcist DVD 3
Lets the action run wild for an episode before taking a big, jolting leap forward and then settling back down for a couple of episodes of easygoing character-building.

Cherry Tree High Comedy Club
There simply aren't enough modern games like this: a dialogue-propelled adventure that avoids the pitfalls of its hazily defined genre. Neither uncomfortable nor mundane, Cherry Tree High Comedy Club is an endearing pleasure.
