Tokyo Majin does not know how to tell a comprehensible story. What it thankfully does know how to do is put on a wild, bloody show. Emotionally, the series hits some very effective highs, but it's necessary to keep your brain switched off to get any enjoyment out of the overall result.
Yeah, this series about a girl-
The anime equivalent of the kid in school who tries so hard to be like everyone else that he becomes invisible.
Rather than a film, a chain of filmed events: an exercise in base narrative that drains the life from a lot of fine scenes before hanging them in a line like butchered beeves in a warehouse. Cool ending, though.
This DVD is largely forgettable, for completionists only, but will certainly satisfy fans who wanted to see more of Guise and Jean's souls laid bare…along with their chests in the beach scenes. At the very least, it's a harmless excursion for the story.
Aria The Natural Sub.DVD Boxset 2
This is a series that doesn't really go anywhere, and it doesn't have to. It's fine exactly where it is.

Kaze no Stigma DVD part 2
Somewhat surprisingly, the second half of this series about elemental magic users actually steps up its game a notch, thanks largely to improved writing and more fan service. While it should never be mistaken for a quality series, it at least does okay.

Monster DVD Box Set 1
Part evil fairy tale, part spy thriller, part moral study, and all dark resonance, it's something akin to a myth: an Odyssey for the bleak, byzantine years directly after fall of the Soviet Union.

Ikki-Tousen Dragon Destiny DVD 1
Dragon Destiny may be trash, but it isn't garbage. At least, not quite.
Hanasakeru Seishōnen Episodes 1-6 Streaming
Hanasakeru's various novelties are so far left floundering in a sea of horribly bland presentation.
Random Fun
Honey Hunt is an appealing, diverting romp through the trials and travails of show business and teenage romance…but you would be better off sticking to Skip Beat! and calling it a day.
