The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya novel 1
A girl dedicated to meeting “aliens, time travelers, or espers” unknowingly surrounds herself with exactly that in this popular source novel for the anime sensation. It is a brisk and smoothly-paced tale which may not be especially deep but certainly is a lot of fun.

Shigurui: Death Frenzy DVD
If, like Luke seeking refuge inside a tauntaun's abdominal cavity, you're looking for a gory, smelly haven from the cold wastes of namby-pamby peacenik action, then perhaps Shigurui is the title for you.

Night Head Genesis DVD 3
Night Head Genesis is a show at war with itself—a fierce war between its solid writing and its shoddy execution.

NANA GN 15
NANA is first and foremost a love story—a bittersweet story of profound, abiding love between two very special women—and even after Ai Yazawa finally sees fit to end it, rest assured that it will not soon be forgotten.

Otomen GN 2
The palatable effort creator Aya Kanno is putting into being nonstop witty and silly does not fully conceal Otomen's significant flaws.

Genshiken Official Book
If Genshiken is a love letter to the otaku lifestyle, then this book is the postscript.

Lovely Complex GN 10
Against all odds, this series still manages to pull out moments of bouncy comedy and deliciously heartwarming romance—even when everything starts to look despairingly familiar.

Menkui! GN 1-3
The manga's protagonist Kotori is much too ordinary and too unmemorable a hero or lover to be the embodiment of an untranslated Japanese word "menkui." Better—or should I say worse?—to say that Suzuki Tanaka's first multi-part series itself is “menkui,” a manga of appalling stunted scope and pinched ambitions.
Bleach GN 26
This is the average shounen-action training arc done exactly by the book, and it almost runs the entire series into the ground.

Battle Angel Alita: Last Order -Angel Goes Nova GN 10
Despite getting too ridiculous for its own good and seeming to be running short on ideas, this series still kicks butt on the artistic front and still tells a solid story. Above all, it still has Alita, and she is back, front and center, where she should be.

Gunslinger Girl DVD 2
Whether you find it exploitive or tragic, this ongoing story of little girls turned into brainwashed, highly conditioned cyborg killers is an appealing, quality production which will be loved by fans of the first volume and may win over more cynical hold-outs. Not your typical “girls with guns” series.
