The Resurrection of Answerman
Answerman is back from the dead, smelling slightly of sod. This week: wimpy harem heroes and their constituents, translation issues, a fan transformed by Greg Ayres and a whole lot more! Plus: a cat and some deer. 2008-03-07

Buried Treasure - The Dog of Flanders
Suffering children are anime staples, and perhaps the most wrenching example is this 1997 remake of the classic TV series. 2008-03-06

School Rumble DVD 4
Laughs of every stripe still abound as the series turns its hand to slightly more serious material. Any missteps it makes along the way are easily forgiven blemishes in a comedy that, while silly, is neither stupid nor shallow.

Ramen Fighter Miki Sub.DVD 3
For those afraid that the series will effectively remove the "fun" from "dumb fun" by trying to wring pathos from its paper-thin premise, it will be a relief to know that this volume is brimming with enough lowbrow fun to make a Stooge smile.

Hell Girl GN 1
Where the animated version was a spooky, if repetitive, trip into hearts of darkness, compressed timeframes and a remarkably inappropriate artistic approach transform this paper version into a toothless mess.

Be With You GN
Released concurrently with its paperback novel version, this manga adaptation tells a heartfelt love story shaped by mystery and wonder, albeit one dependent on a questionable gimmick and mediocre artistry.

Flag DVD 2
Superb attention to military technical detail and its highly unusual documentary style highlight a strong second volume notable for getting politically edgy. It will either utterly fascinate you or utterly not work for you.

Love Master A GN 1
So to all the high school girls out there: give the Student Council a try if you want to pick up some hot guys. But don't give Love Master A a try if you want to pick up some fun, fresh manga, because this one is pretty stale.

Ragnarok The Animation DVD 2
Although not entirely without entertainment value, these episodes offer little respite to those thoroughly disappointed with the first volume. It is a textbook case of how not to adapt an MMORPG into anime format.

Naruto Uncut DVD Box Set 6
This set covers episodes 66-78, which conclude the Chunin Exams and begin the attack on the Hidden Leaf Village. As frustrating as the content may be to watch, it does have its moments.

The Third GN 1
The paper-and-pictures version of The Third may be a fun diversion for those looking for an action-adventure fix, but it still has its flaws. Don't expect anything beyond the usual fancy leaps and explosions.

Hell Girl DVD 3
The series may drag at times, but these middle episodes still have some clever twists in store. In one of the most powerful episodes so far, we find that the roots of Hell Girl's existence run deep into the past.
