Now Streaming: El Cazador De La Bruja 1-4 (d)
With a name like El Cazador, this show should really be in Spanish... But English will have to do. Here's the first 4 episodes dubbed. 2010-03-15

Bleach GN 30
The most memorable fights are often not the ones of brute strength, but the ones where the heroes must conquer the villains in their heads. It's a principle that is exemplified in this volume of Bleach.

Yozakura Quartet DVD Complete Collection
Super-powered youths struggle to protect a town where demons and humans peacefully coexist in this run-of-the-mill offering. Though not bad and at least mildly entertaining, it is a little too bland and underdeveloped to leave much of an impression and is not as sexy as advertised.

Baka and Test Episodes 1-4 Streaming
Just waiting to charm the pants off of anyone who stumbles upon it. Or at least those among them that can stomach the occasional stinker of a rom-com cliché.

Neo Angelique Abyss Sub.DVD
Those who are easily distracted and entertained by pretty things will quickly feel like a cat trapped in a room full of catnip-stuffed mice, and the cover price of these two DVDs is almost worth it based on animation quality alone.

Eureka Seven GN Collection 1
It's not just a recitation of giant robot battles and alien adventures, but an honest tale of love, friendship, and growing up, set against the backdrop of an epic planetary struggle.

Arata: The Legend GN 1
What's going on around Arata seems interesting, yet it's hard to care when he spends the vast majority of his time whining about how betrayed he feels.

Claymore BLURAY
The Blu Ray version of this dark, graphic fantasy series about blond female warriors wielding big swords offers very little that the original DVD releases did not. Though the series shows pronounced shonen influences, it is still, at essence, a very human story, and that makes all the difference.

Dragon Box Z Set 2
Does post-Vegeta-arc DBZ bog down like a fat-bottomed tourist in quicksand? Will cool power-ups and guys putting fists through each other save it anyway? Is it all worth buying yet again? Find out this and more on today's Anime Review Z!!

Case Closed: The Phantom of Baker Street DVD
It's about action-packed sleuthing, which this movie does decently at the end ... but fumbles through a painful beginning and poorly paced middle to get there.

Beast Player Erin Episodes 26-50 Streaming
Where its first half was the story of a young girl maturing into a woman, its second is the story of that woman, bullied by the winds of change into becoming the cornerstone of a new era.

Revolutionary Girl Utena DVD 6
This show is worth your money, and despite the dub, CPM is doing right by it. Don't miss Utena.
