Night Head Genesis Sub.DVD 5
Remains to the end frustratingly uneven but invariably mature. Worthy of serious consideration by anyone looking for a change of pace in a teen-dominated market.

The Magic Touch GN 1-3
The only thing “magical” about The Magic Touch is how quickly you will be absolutely desperate to get its yucky fingers out of your personal space.

Shikabane Hime: Kuro Episodes 1-12 Streaming
Not a show to sit twiddling its thumbs, it's crammed to the gills with plot revelations and gorgeous violence. Stiff acting dampens the emotional impact, but why quibble when you can enjoy?

Things only get more complicated for D as his mission to escort the Baron concludes in this twelfth American release of the Vampire Hunter D novels. Though many interesting things happen, it still has the same strengths and weakness as most previous novels.

Kimi ni Todoke GN 1
Kimi ni Todoke is hands down one of the best new English-translated manga series of 2009. Read this one even if you are not ordinarily a shoujo manga fan. It is simply not to be missed.

A Drifting Life GN
A Drifting Life is about the men behind the manga and the ways in which they and the art form they cherish grow to maturity. A must read for anyone who styles him- or herself a serious anime, manga, or indie comics fan.

Gurren Lagann the Movie: Crimson Lotus Chapter
Gainax gets a chance to do a second, high-gloss polish over some of their favorite scenes from the show... and charge its legions of fans full ticket price to watch edited-together TV episodes they've already seen dozens of times.

Clover -Omnibus Edition- GN
Although only three of the four parts (and four of the projected six volumes) have ever been published, you might be excused for thinking that Dark Horse's attractive new single-volume omnibus edition of Clover, ostensibly released to celebrate CLAMP's 20th anniversary this year, is the final word on this haunting cyberpunk-styled tale.

Escaflowne The Movie DVD
Newcomers to the series will feel that they missed something in the movie, while fans will know that something was left behind.
