Buried Garbage - Dracula: Sovereign of the Damned
Why, yes, that IS Dracula eating a hamburger. It's actually one of the more normal things about this little-seen made-for-TV movie. 2009-06-04

Chicks On Anime - Producing a DVD
Funimation's DVD producer, Clarine Harp, talks to us about the ins and outs of DVD production, and what goes into every step. 2009-06-02

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.

Big Windup! Episodes 1-7 Streaming
Tells a simple story (a group of guys, a baseball diamond, and a game they really want to win) with sly suspense and unexpected complexity.

Ouran High School Host Club DVD - Season 1 Part 2
More antics of the cross-dressing Haruhi and the bishonen Host Club guys continue as the series delves into backstories. While these episodes do show some depth, for the most part they stick to the series' strength: shallow, silly fun. In that sense, they work just fine.

Claymore DVD 5
The massed Claymore battles in snowy Pieta heat up, but the character development is as much the key in what is arguably the series' second-best run of episodes. Most who watch this volume will find themselves impatiently awaiting the next one.

Ghost Slayers Ayashi DVD Part 2
You know those anime characters who make purple toxic-waste dishes by tossing in ingredients willy-nilly with no attention to the harmony of taste or texture? Well this is the anime they would make.

Sky Crawlers, The (Blu-ray)
The Sky Crawlers is an intense experience, and a level of artistic expression far beyond the levels even the best anime strives towards. And to those that look beyond the surface, it's actually a pretty damning portrayal of the anime business and its fans.

KenIchi the Mightiest Disciple DVD Season 1 Part 1
Despite an annoying start, this silly variation on The Karate Kid eventually becomes surprisingly entertaining in its sampling of various forms of martial arts and the tactics involved in using them efficiently. It's cheesy, but fun.

Night Head Genesis DVD 4
It takes patience to enjoy Night Head Genesis. That is, when there's enjoyment to be had.

School Rumble GN 9
Some of the laughs are worth it, but it's getting more and more frustrating to see this story going nowhere.
