Garbage - Suikoden Demon Century
Suikoden is appalling. It's as painfully insulting to one's intelligence as Tekken or Battle Arena Toshinden, but without the excuse of being a video game tie-in dictated by committee planning and corporate branding.

Many will hate Kite Liberator. Its story is nonsense. It chops and splices genres in the silliest way possible. But taken as a gentle, self-
It has all the ingredients of greatness: distinctive characters ... action-
If you like seeing girls blushing and getting flustered over other girls (with no guys around) then this may be a series for you. Although it does improve, its merits are otherwise only barely enough to sustain it.
This ripoff of a ripoff does such a good job of copying everything else in the supernatural genre that it's hard to tell where the imitation stops and an original story begins.
Yakitate Japan for girls? All right, so Kitchen Princess doesn't quite have the insane humor, but Volume 5 shows that it contains all the other essential ingredients for a great cooking series.
Kagetora GN 8
This story of a young ninja and his cute but incapable charge/student wallows in an intensive display of utterly stereotypical romantic comedy content, but looks good doing so and still manages to be mildly entertaining.

The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service GN 6
The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service may be a shining jewel in the supernatural genre, but even this masterful series has its off-days. Volume 6 is one such disappointment.

Hell Girl DVD 4
As restrained, elegant, and superbly atmospheric as ever, Hell Girl continues to vary its basic formula in small, telling ways but remains as stubbornly repetitive as ever.

The Wallflower GN 14
Toss any expectations beyond those for a passing diversion and some good chuckles out the window. Wallflower is back to treading water.

Random Fun
Although hardly a technical masterpiece, this remastered and redubbed 20th anniversary edition is a fun, sexy, and violent romp from an earlier era which does not concern itself with weighty matters like originality, cohesiveness, or logic.
