Azumanga Daioh GN
One of the funnier and most beloved of slice-of-life high-school comedies in its original four-panel gag format, collected in its entirety into one gargantuan volume.

Ah! My Goddess: Flights of Fancy DVD 3
Want to drown yourself in unadulterated sweetness? Then grab Ah! My Goddess, this volume of which actually advances the central romance (a little) and resolves an ongoing plot. Whoa.

Peach Girl DVD 6
A surprisingly satisfying conclusion to an often wildly uneven series; strictly for viewers who love teen fiction for its over-dramatizing tendencies.

The Wallflower DVD 1
This kooky take on standard shojo “reverse harem” story structures storms onto the small screen and demands your attention, thanks to a gloriously ridiculous adaptation which proves to be an unexpectedly fun view.

Super Robot Wars Original Generation - Sub. DVD
A slick OAV for fans of the Super Robot Wars franchise and of mecha mayhem in general. Don't expect a lot of replay value, but it can be darned fun on the first run-through.

Welcome to the N.H.K. GN 4
It may not be the best or most entertaining volume of NHK, but it deepens the story and makes the characters even more dysfunctional and twisted than they already are.

Gantz DVD Perfect Score Collection
If you missed this orgy of extreme graphic violence, foul language, and explicit content the first two times around, and appreciate lots of gore and nudity, then this is your “perfect” opportunity.

Step Up Love Story 1 Sub.DVD
If you want a simple, sexy, surprisingly sweet bit of fun that will not strain your brain, and you like generous amounts of highly explicit fan service, then the first half of this 2002 OVA series may be worth a look.

Suzuka DVD 5
This volume is all about healing emotional wounds, which is perfect timing for the obligatory return of the status quo. Another volume of strangely mixed emotional honesty and dippy plotting.

Psycho Busters GN 1
Can Psycho Busters be enjoyed? Certainly, as long as you're willing to switch off the B.S. detector and accept that this story is going to plow through a lot of psychic-superpower-adventure formula.

Ninja Scroll DVD 1-3
This premium box set will be a handsome addition to the library of any fan who doesn't take anime too seriously and loves a good, blood-spattered gore-fest. It's all in the name of fun.
