Atelier Marie and Elie –Zalburg Alchemist– GN 1-2
If you are one of those fans familiar only with those examples of the Atelier franchise available in North America or—Heaven forbid!—altogether ignorant, this manga will feel, for all intents and purposes, like reading a fanzine when you are not a member of its particular fandom.

Vexille Blu-Ray
This film is basically the anime world's latest tech showcase, sure to be remembered more for its grand ideas and presentation than the actual execution or quality of story.

You're So Cool GN 1-2
You're So Cool is, at its heart, about a monster of the male persuasion who is eventually tamed and brought back into the benevolent fold of humanity by a willing woman's feminine power—that of her grace and her compassion. Unfortunately, while Seung-Ha is unquestionably a monster of horrific proportions, Nan-Woo is neither particularly graceful nor willing.
Strawberry Panic! Sub.DVD 5
Whenever its central romance takes center stage there's a palpable sense that Strawberry Panic might just salvage something more than lesbian titillation from its mess of romantic clichés.

School Rumble Season 2 DVD Part 1
The shift from hectic, secretly muscular romantic comedy to formulaic time-killing schoolyard farce over the course of this box set is remarkable, if only for its abruptness—like the flipping of a switch after episode six.

Ghost Hunt Season One Part One
Despite some weak points, the first season of this supernatural mystery series succeeds because it spins good enough, and elaborate enough, stories while also offering a sharp look and a highly likeable female lead.

Lucky Star DVD 3
Even Lucky Star, that most off-kilter and unpredictable of comedy shows, must trawl the dangerous, cliché-infested waters known as Christmas and New Years. As the events of Volume 3 prove, not only does the series survive, but it manages to thrive.
Even Lucky Star, that most off-
The Good Witch of the West GN 3-4
It is a general rule of thumb among those with experience with various forms of Japanese media that adaptations are not as good as the original material. The Good Witch of the West proves to be an unforgettable—not to mention not to be missed—exception to this rule.
Kanon DVD 6
Although the writing may initially seem to be getting carried away with its moe-centric approach and starting to flounder, a series of surprise twists and revelations carry Key's winter story to its satisfying (if sappy) resolution. It is one of the best moe-centric titles to date.

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.
