Buried Garbage - Idol Fighter Su-Chi-Pai
It should come as a surprise to nobody that a short OAV based on a strip mahjong video game would probably be one of the most mind-numbing pieces of animation Japan ever crapped out.

Fairy Tail GN 2One thing that can be said for Fairy Tail's sophomore volume: it exceeds expectations. How high the expectations were is something of a sticking point however.
Thunderbolt Boys: Excite GN 1-
12 Days GNIf you are looking for a sensitive depiction of lesbians that strives for literariness, you have come to the right place. Creator June Kim delivers her quiet tale of friendship, love, and loss with nuanced, high-
Strawberry Panic!: Third Wheel Sub.DVD 3Those who plodded through the cutesy, frilly content of earlier volumes while hoping that something would happen will be partly rewarded here. Greatly increased fan service, decided relationship advancement, and a semblance of a developing plot all speak in this volume's favor.
Gakuen Alice GN 1Gakuen Alice mangaka Tachibana Higuchi, who wanted to make her third series cheerful, delivers a delightful shoujo series well worthy of its U.S. publisher's push for the frontlist.
Kujibiki Unbalance DVD 3
If you too cringed at the sound of Kujibiki Unbalance flushing itself down a smelly toilet of irritating humor clichés, then perhaps you'll be pleased to hear the sound of it clawing its way back out with a renewed focus on its central love triangle.

Me and the Devil Blues GN 1
The higher one aspires, the further there is to fall, but it's safe to conclude that mangaka Akira Hiramoto did not sell his soul to the devil to create Me and the Devil Blues. Though the manga is without question wildly ambitious, it fails to fully deliver on Del Rey's hype.

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion DVD 1-2
Yes, it goes way over the top, but unlike many series, Code Geass has the skill and energy to carry viewers over the top with it.
Pokemon: Diamond & Pearl Dub.DVD 1-2
Colorful, lively, and sporting a brand-new heroine, the newest season of Pokémon will be eaten up by its pint-sized fanbase while quite naturally driving all others to distraction.
Gurren Lagann Sub.DVD 2
This double-disk sub-only release covers the rest of the second story arc and the beginning of the third. Although still a purely entertaining series at heart, it shows a greater capacity than its contemporaries to adapt to its story advancement and grow beyond its original parameters.
This double-
Haré+Guu DVD 6Sustaining a heavy dose of comedy over 20+ episodes is not an easy task, but this series has proven plenty capable. The jokes and fun just keep rolling on despite the change of venue.
