Sengoku Basara: The Last Party BD+DVDOne of those blustery, everyone-
HENNEKO Episodes 1-
The Last of UsThe Last of Us is about the thick skin we've built for ourselves and, underneath that, the places where we secret our hurt.
Lagrange: The Flower of Rin-
Remember MeUnderneath all the explosive polygons and proper nouns, Remember Me is a game that has no idea what it's actually about.
The Princess and the Pilot [Premium Edition] Sub.Blu-Ray
A half-breed pilot is tasked with secretly transporting a future Empress across thousands of miles of open ocean in this 2011 movie from Madhouse. Its simple, straightforward tale offers some great highlights.
Tiger & Bunny Blu-Ray 2
Interesting character developments and comic book-style twists are the norm in this generally fun second half. Some may find the plot twists to be irksome, but they don't keep it from being entertaining.

Missions of Love GN 2
Ultimately Missions of Love still reads like a sexy book for middle schoolers. Yukina is far from a likeable heroine, neither Shigure nor Akira come off as particularly desirable male leads, and the less savory elements of the story detract from its romance components.

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya DVD 1Though primarily an otaku funfest, this funny, clever, and eccentric take on a girl's quest for the abnormal, and the boy she drags along for the ride, became one of 2006's biggest hits in Japan. Now the invasion of America has begun.
