, Answerman!
Hey, Answerman is here again this week and it will quite literally assault your senses as it touches on genre confusion, soundtrack confusion, and a dumb stupid internet video. Plus your responses to Hey, Answerfans and more! 2009-04-03

Buried Treasure - Assemble Insert
Assemble Insert feels like Project A-ko by way of Patlabor, a mix of cute destruction-causing anime hyperactivity and Simpsons-esque "everything sucks" societal humor. And it doesn't try to do much beyond make you smile.

A novel hybrid of adventure and education: call it a monster-
It's just a shame that Tensai Okamura and his raft of talented collaborators couldn't swing something better than “good enough.”
Clare encounters one of the “Big Bosses” of her world and gets involved in a major multi-
It may have the cute girls and the magical combat, but right now it's just going through the motions—and not creating any real magic at all.
Princess Resurrection Sub.DVD
This series about a chainsaw-wielding princess of monsters who turns an 8th grade boy into a half-immortal servant may not be a particularly good series, but it is a fun one. In this case, that's (just) enough.

Berserk GN 26
When you're busy having your mind blown by intense fantasy artwork and massive displays of power, do story flaws really matter all that much?

Twelve Kingdoms Novel 3
The king and kirin of En get the feature treatment in this original source story for the anime's final story arc. Though it takes a markedly different approach than either of the previous two novels, it still delivers an exceptionally well-written tale that will not disappoint fans of the franchise.

Maria Watches Over Us Season 3 Sub.DVD
In some ways it's an extended coda to the first two seasons, a beautifully animated reward for weathering their emotional peaks and troughs. All rewards should be so rewarding.

Claymore GN 14
Galatea reappears, old supporting characters return, and a new Awakened Being arrives, but the too-short core story struggles in the near-total absence of its original main heroines. Included are two notable backstory chapters.

Though it doesn't get off to a great start and could use a bit more refinement, Last Quarter is ultimately a well-
