Pastel GN 5
It should be no surprise that a series about teenage love has such a predominantly teenage mentality. Look past the heart-throbbing daydreams of lust, however, and flashes of real emotion begin to appear.

Super GALS Season 2 DVD Box Set
Super Gals' second season makes its way stateside (thanks to fan-friendly Right Stuf) with everything that made the first season a periodically entertaining, often exasperating mixed bag entirely intact. Minus the dub, that is.

Noein DVD 2
The series finally explains itself, allowing it to become a thoroughly engrossing mix of hard-core sci-fi and very ordinary dramatic elements. If the first volume didn't hook you, this one almost certainly will.

ES GN 4
... all the good things you want in a suspense thriller—strong-willed characters, twist-a-minute plotting, and a premise that keeps things teetering on the brink between life and death.

Disgaea DVD 1&2
The prefix dis- places the word "Disgaea" in the company of words like dismal and disappointing. Coincidence?

Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid DVD 3
Only three episodes coming out at a time may be a pain, but at least they're quality episodes which prove that, when it is allowed to take itself sufficiently seriously, FMP is capable of some damn fine drama.

Solty Rei DVD 2
Rose takes center stage in a volume which puts together enough interesting characters and situations to remain moderately entertaining. It isn't great anime, but it's not bad, either.

Kyo Kara Maoh! DVD 2.2
It's exactly the kind of low-intensity light entertainment that is the bread and butter of many an entertainment industry: a mixture of unique humor, fantasy parody, and shounen-ai titillation that continues to serve well, despite occasional dramatic failings.
It's exactly the kind of low-
Haré+Guu DVD 6
Sustaining a heavy dose of comedy over 20+ episodes is not an easy task, but this series has proven plenty capable. The jokes and fun just keep rolling on despite the change of venue.

Basilisk DVD 4
It is still a simple historical adventure with some interesting points to be made about the perpetuation of violence, but Basilisk is steadily intensifying, walking a path that, if trod correctly, will lead to an absolutely devastating conclusion.
