Hey, Answerman! - Z Edition
Brian soldiers onward despite the kerfluffle over ADV, and answers your questions about Western animation (again), anime and manga sales, and perversion! All while watching Dragonball Evolution! No joke. 2009-09-04

ANNCast - Bosch Spice
Johnny Yong Bosch joins Zac and Justin for a chat about conventions and a whole bunch of Twitter questions, but before all of that, it's the downfall of ADV Films and the questionable dub of Sgt. Frog. Do it now! 2009-09-03

Now Streaming: Sergeant Frog 1-4(d)
It's the same Sergeant Frog, except with 100% less Japanese puns and 70% more American pop culture references! Is it still funny? Funnier, maybe? Check out Funimation's new reversioned Sergeant Frog, right here! [then tell us what you think here] 2009-09-03

Gestalt GN 1
Only the most devoted of Yun Kouga fans. The rest of the manga reading world is safe sticking with the likes of Loveless and Earthian and leaving Gestalt to its remote little island.

Boys Over Flowers GN 36
Eleven years and thirty-six volumes...for this?! The disappointment is almost inconceivable in its scale. It's awfully hard not to feel cheated as Boys Over Flowers limps dejectedly to an anti-climatic finish line.

Azumanga Daioh The Complete DVD Collection
A must buy for anyone who has not yet had the pleasure of watching Azumanga Daioh in its entirety. Oh, and be sure to pay close attention—it might be on the exam!

Bleach Season 3 Uncut Box Set
This boxed set, which constitutes the second half of the original Soul Society arc, brings the series to its first major plot climax. Along the way it showcases (for better or worse) all of the characteristic traits of long-running shonen action series and how the franchise puts its own twist on them to make this series so immensely popular.

Genshiken 2 DVD 1
This isn't just a comedy or a slice-of-life drama; it's an indispensible snapshot of the otaku zeitgeist.

Sakura Wars Complete Collection
Spiritually powerful young maidens pilot mecha to defend the imperial capital in a steampunk version of 1920s Japan in this TV series based on a popular video game line. This economical rerelease gives newer fans a chance to experience one of the most popular series of the early 2000s.

Ristorante Paradiso Episodes 1-11 Streaming
“Love comes in all shapes and sizes,” opines Nicoletta late in this attractively modest but affective anime series about the staff of a restaurant in Rome based upon a standalone manga volume of the same name by Natsume Ono. This straightforward sentence is the true theme and raison d'entre of Ristorante Paradiso.

Gundam 00 DVD Season 1 Part 1
A worthwhile watch for anyone who doesn't mind their entertainment with more brain than heart.

St. Dragon Girl GN 2-4
St. Dragon Tail might actually have been improved if it were doing something blatantly and ridiculously “wrong”…'cause as banal shoujo puffery, it just isn't doing much of anything right. Don't give it a second thought.

Yokai Doctor GN 2
Some of the stories achieve enough depth to break the mold (or at least, make the best use of the mold), but otherwise, this volume of Yokai Doctor fails to reach its potential.

Revolutionary Girl Utena DVD 10
A visionary masterpiece and modern classic, Revolutionary Girl Utena gets the conclusion it deserves in Finale.
