Fullmetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of MilosEd and Al get wrapped up in a multifactional conflict on Amestris's western border in this Brotherhood movie. Though it features thrilling action and a decent story, its inconsistent artistry is decidedly substandard.
Bakuman. GN 9Through the first few chapters, this volume of Bakuman may not seem all that impressive ... but it improves dramatically as the tension escalates in the second half.

Bodacious Space Pirates Episodes 1-6 Streaming
An easygoing sci-fi adventure, content to rely on its cliché-retardant cast and intelligent action to paper over its gaps in momentum. Declines some after a dazzling start but remains effortlessly entertaining nonetheless.
The Secret World of Arrietty
A beautiful, carefully detailed and altogether pleasant wisp of a film that does absolutely everything – from the characters' personalities to the story construction to the emotional stakes that hold the whole thing together – in miniature.

Uta no Prince-sama - Maji Love 1000% episodes 1-13 streaming
For all of its oddness, Uta no Prince-sama is a compulsively enjoyable show, at least for those within its target audience. It aspires to be nothing more than what it is, a fun, fluffy, j-pop soaked reverse harem tale aimed squarely at the fangirls, and at that, it succeeds.
The World God Only Knows Blu-Ray
A master of dating sims who generally rejects reality must try to use his game skills on real girls in this comedy/drama from Manglobe. It succeeds at what it needs to do to be popular but never capitalizes on its full potential.
Fairy Tail Blu-Ray + DVD 3
It took 24 episodes to get here, but the third volume of Fairy Tail finally shows the series living up to its potential.
If I see you in my Dreams DVDGiven the repetitive nature of the content, the series would be much better had it been cut down to just the first and last episodes.
