B Gata H Kei - Yamada’s First Time (TV) Good It's been a while since I saw this; I had a blu-Ray/DVD combo, but no blu-Ray player. Funny, but sweet; ecchi, but not pervy.
Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods (movie) Good Just above Decent; if you like DBZ & want to see the band back together, along with some new characters & killer fights, get this. However, if you're watching Dragon Ball Super, either skip this movie, or skip the 1st 14 episodes of Super, since it's a rehash of this movie. Fun movie, great to see all the old characters, plus Beerus & Whis.
Master of Martial Hearts (OAV) Decent This was interesting, in an Ikki Tousen way, with clothes ripped off through fighting. Aya is the heroine to root for, but the reveal (not clothes) in Episode 5 was a jaw-dropper. Despite the fan service, it had an interesting, but very dark, storyline. The darkness doesn't really appear until the 5th & last episode.
Moribito - Guardian of the Spirit (TV) Excellent This is a visually beautiful series & worth it for the characters & story also. It's based on the 1st novel in the Moribito series by Nahoko Uehashi (translated by Cathy Hirano & published by Scholastic). Media Blasters said on an Anime Today podcast that the anime is faithful to the novel. Action is sprinkled through the novel & the anime, but when it hits you, you know it! I'm a diehard who got up even early Sunday mornings to watch Adult Swim; it needed all the ratings help it could get. Recently bought & watched the Complete Collection; worth the wait.
Witchblade (TV) Very good Yes, this series has fanservice; in fact, call it T&A. But the core of the show that goes to the end is the relationship between Masane Amaha & her 6-year old daughter Rihoko. The first half of the series focuses on fights, corporate intrigue and yes, T&A. The last half, however, focuses on the question "What is Family?" Fights & fanservice are still there as bonuses. Worth your time & worth buying the Box Set if you haven't collected the series.
