Air DVD
The emotional, familial-oriented moefest of the original series has become a more narrowly-focused love story in this stand-alone alternate take on the basic storyline. It improves in some places but fails in others.

Kanon DVD 1
It may be a formulaic moe haremfest, but this winter counterpart to Air offers enough mystery, effective humor, and quality visuals that even those not into moe may find it entertaining.

Everybody Cosplay!

Welcome to the NHK DVD 2
Despite the occasional good laugh, the series usually plays better taken as straight drama and character study. It may not be the most purely entertaining series, but that makes it no less interesting to watch.

Witchblade DVDs 2 and 3
Whatever your reaction was to the first volume, the second and third volumes are unlikely to change it. They may reduce emphasis on action in favor of more scheming and character interaction, but everything that made the series what it was at the start is still there.

My Santa DVD
A fledgling girl Santa Claus tries to brighten the lonely holiday of a boy named Santa in a weak, fan service-laden OVA production which suffers from too many flaws to be worth watching even as part of the Christmas spirit.

Zipang DVD 7
An inconclusive ending may harm the series' status as one of 2007's best American anime releases, but its writing, visuals, and thoughtful, well-balanced treatment of historical issues are too good to deny.

Appleseed: Ex Machina
Appleseed: Ex Machina is light years better than the previous Appleseed film in every conceivable way. That isn't enough to save it from being little more than a lightweight action pic with some pretty visuals, though.

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.
