The List - 7 Goofy Anime Super Heroes Not every super hero gets an awesome robot, elemental powers to summon lightning, or can fly through the air due to sheer psychic will. No, some personalities probably aren't suited for the super hero role, but it's thrust upon them anyway, strange powers and all.

Dusk maiden of Amnesia Blu-Ray A high school boy befriends a sexy female ghost in this eclectic mix of comedy, romance, drama, and horror. Its success at all four, combined with inventive artistry and a strong musical score, makes this one of 2012's best anime series.
Hakuōki: A Memory of Snow Flowers DVD 1-2 This six-episode OVA story fills in a time gap in the first series by looking at certain incidents from multiple different angles. Though hardly crucial viewing, fans of the franchise should find this satisfying.
Attack on Titan episodes 1-6 A young man tries to battle back against giant humanoids who feast on humans in this graphic, visceral, and fantastically intense action/horror story. Its great strengths overcome writing and production value inconsistencies.
Blood-C BD+DVD ... either one of the most brilliantly shocking horror series ever created, or one of the biggest practical jokes ever played on an anime-viewing audience.
Mikunopolis in Los Angeles Blu-Ray The lively music, flashy visuals, and digitally-generated performers result in a form of entertainment unlike any other.
Berserk: The Golden Age Arc II: The Battle for Doldrey On 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.
Dragon Ball Z DVD Season 6 The composite android Cell achieves his perfect form and challenges the Z fighters to a tournament to determine the fate of the world in a fantastically-remastered run of 29 episodes. Though the action takes a while to get started, the content ultimately does not disappoint.
