Black Jack GN 5 ... even the greatest comic artist of all time just didn't feel like it on certain weeks and decided to mail in 20 pages of slush for his next chapter. 2009-06-14
The Gallery - Keiko Sakurai Up and coming manga artist Keiko Sakurai visits The Gallery to talk about fish batteries, battling sushi and more cool stuff that has nothing to do with fish! 2009-06-13
Detroit Metal City GN 1 Each scene is more patently and deliberately ridiculous than the last, and you will not be able to remember the last time the “f-word” (repeated over and over and over again) in a seinen manga made you laugh so hard. 2009-06-13
Hey, Answerman! Brian stumbles around in his underpants smelling of cheap liquor, bleary-eyed and disoriented, while taking questions about writing in animation, TV commercials, and anime for the history books. Plus new Hey Answerfans, Fake Flakes, and more! 2009-06-12

Air Master Episodes 13-27 Streaming Think of Air Master as a huge anime blender filled with whacked humor and action, set to liquefy. It looks and feels like chaos, and entertains like the love child of Mohammed Ali and Jerry Lewis.
Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei GN 1 Manga fans familiar with Japanese culture and society might be excused for thinking that they have committed ritual double suicide with Zetsubou-sensei himself and gone to a darkly yet deliciously funny heaven.
Death Note DVD The second half of the series, spanning episodes 21-37, comes complete with a bonus disk of Extras. The story it tells, from the midst of the Yotsuba arc to the series' final confrontations, may be full of overblown melodrama but can still drag a viewer along for the ride.
Gunslinger Girl -Il Teatrino- Episodes 1-13 Streaming That many of Gunslinger Girl's considerable charms escape the deadening influence of its new animators is certainly reason to celebrate. That that they have to is a shame.
Honey Hunt GN 2 With noticeable acceleration of the story, coupled with the Miki Aihara's consistent draftsmanship skill, Honey Hunt is fast becoming the sort of shoujo manga that fans will want to hunt down for themselves.
Bleach DVD 16 As far as filler goes, the Bount arc—which begins this volume—isn't half bad. It isn't half good either: More like three-eighths good, a quarter bad, and a quarter indifferent with one-eighth held in reserve. But who's counting?
Princess Resurrection Sub.DVD Part 2 You know how they say that there's always room for dessert? Well, the same goes for brainless fun. And to the end Princess Resurrection is as brainless—and almost as fun—as anyone could want.
Sand Chronicles GN 3-5 The delicate balance between sentimentality and bathetic ridiculousness is one that Hinako Ashihara walks quite well, and the intimate exploration of the characters' rather unremarkable—let's be honest with ourselves here—exploits are utterly riveting.
Tetsujin 28th DVD 2 For all its swash and buckle, the series is also unapologetically campy; fans who would normally enjoy a solid action story might be turned off by Tetsujin's old-fashioned sensibilities.
