Attack on Titan episodes 1-
Pokémon the Movie: Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice Dub.DVDIf this film causes more permanent damage than most Pokémon outings, that's wholly the fault of its main character, Keldeo.
Blood-
Mikunopolis in Los Angeles Blu-
Berserk: The Golden Age Arc II: The Battle for DoldreyOn the whole, The Battle for Doldrey is a mixed bag of strengths and weaknesses. While that may be true of most things, there are few places where those lines are so clearly drawn as in this film.
InuYasha Movie Blu-ray Complete Collection
Four movies, all so rigidly formulaic that they could be sequential remakes. This is an entertaining set all told, but you can get the same experience (or better) by watching the first film four times.
K-ON! The Movie Blu-Ray
The movie finishes what the TV series began, with a story that goes beyond a typical episode, but stops short of being an epic, life-changing experience.
Sailor Moon GN 8 -10
The fourth story arc of Naoko Takeuchi's Sailor Moon saga, known to many fans as “Sailor Moon SuperS,” may have a reputation from the anime as being one of the weakest arcs, but the two and a half volumes that make it up in the manga are among the best the series has to offer.
Kids on the Slope Blu-Ray
Jazz music is much the stars as the main cast in this story about teens who become friends in late 1960s Japan. Great sounds and good character development bolster what is otherwise a fairly pedestrian character drama.
One Piece DVD Season 4 Part 4
When the set ends, it's on a note of combined hope and sadness that drives us onto the next volume as surely as the mounting disasters of last volume drove us to this one.

School Rumble DVD 3Four more episodes of romantic misunderstandings, really stupid behavior and embarrassing situations. From the moment the words "School Rumble" come spinning onto the screen, you know you're in for undiluted good times. And really, it'd be churlish to demand anything more.
