Players can choose to battle with various weapons such as blades embedded inside Hyakkimaru's arms, a bazooka hidden inside his leg, or weapons that are found during the course of the adventure. "Dororo" delivers the ultimate Samurai fighting experience with intense 3D action from one of Japan's most famous storytellers.

In the end the series finds a pleasant balance between action and empathy without ever losing track of its poetic soul. In the process it shows a superior example of an anime heroine worth caring about.
Interesting story developments and new characters, combined with all of the elements that made previous volumes a hit, should easily allow this volume to maintain fan enthusiasm for the series.
It is not every day that one stumbles across a josei manga that will undoubtedly have both guys and gals cheering from the rafters for the protagonist. Run—don't walk—for your copy of Walkin' Butterfly.
Hell Girl DVD DVD 5-6
Restraint and atmosphere are still its watchwords, but Hell Girl allows itself here the luxury of letting an undeniably effective emotional climax surface slowly from its episodic tales of revenge.
CY-Believers GN 1
This shojo romantic comedy about a spunky girl who establishes a new school club partly for self-defense against an overzealous fiancé somehow manages to be more interesting and entertaining than it feels like it should be.
Mushishi GN 4
One Del Rey editor is on record saying that Mushishi “was something we had to do for the readers of tomorrow.” Read it and see for yourself why it's worth being handed down to the next generation.

Fujoshi Rumi GN 1-2
Those not familiar with otaku culture should use caution when approaching Fujoshi Rumi. Humor that has to be explained isn't funny, and you are unlikely to fully appreciate these books unless you're already a card-carrying otaku.
