Karin DVD 1
Though essentially a teen vampire romantic comedy with an unusual twist, that twist is enough to lend a fresher feel to typical story elements. It may take a while to get truly funny but does produce a satisfying amount of laughs and drama.

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya DVD 1
Though primarily an otaku funfest, this funny, clever, and eccentric take on a girl's quest for the abnormal, and the boy she drags along for the ride, became one of 2006's biggest hits in Japan. Now the invasion of America has begun.

Nerima Daikon Brothers DVD 3
The Daikon Brothers end it here, sadly enough. There's some marginally more serious content here at the end, but it never forgets that it is, at heart, a no-holds-barred comedy. At which it succeeds beautifully.

Shakugan no Shana GN 1
A ripoff of Bleach, except the main girl is cuter.

Oh My Goddess! GN 26
Fans of the series must come face to face with a simple, deflating fact: this story arc just isn't all that good.

Best Student Council DVD 3
Is one of those series that you pop in in order to shut down all but the life-sustaining functions of the brain and relax for a couple of hours. A poor addition to the cast weighs down a volume that takes a stab at answering a few niggling questions.

Tide-Line Blue DVD 1
This post-apocalyptic sub story has potential and respectable technical merits, but fails so far because it tries to do too much at the same time. It wants to be funny, an action series, and a serious dramatic study, but never finds a satisfactory way to put the elements together.
Fate/stay night DVD 3
This volume packs in three spectacular battles, multiple instances of incremental character development, and enough pure atmosphere to patch a hole in the ozone, all without once betraying the series' coldly deliberate pacing.
Kodocha DVD 12
If you have followed the series this far then these four episodes will offer you a lot to like, as good humor, quality dramatic content, and key plot developments highlight another satisfying volume.

Noein DVD 3
Intense, stylish action, involving storytelling, and complex explanations are the order of the day in a block of episodes rife with surprising plot twists. If the first two volumes didn't convince you that this is one of the best of recent sci-fi anime series, this volume should.

Gregory Horror Show DVD 1
What really puts Gregory Horror Show in the "experimental" category is the raw visual style. If your idea of anime is shiny hair, vibrantly colored worlds, and epic storylines, then prepare to have those ideas assaulted when you watch this show.
