Angel Sanctuary DVD
Incest and angels acting bad highlight this sharp-looking rerelease of the 2000 OVA series, which mixes shojo elements with intensely graphic violence. It is more an introduction for the manga version than a stand-alone production, however.

Kiddy Grade DVD
This newest boxed set is the best offering yet for Gonzo's sharp-looking sci fi anime take on the cop buddy genre. Likable central characters, pretty designs, and more depth than may initially be apparent help make this a highly entertaining series.

School Rumble DVD 2
Shows the first signs of the shaggy underdog panache with which the series can balance big laughs and understated emotions, and of course is still a big ol' goofy good time.

Step Up Love Story Sub.DVD 2
The series would be nothing without its sex content, but mature viewers may appreciate these episodes of the series also known as Futari Ecchi for more than just that. They display a slight overall improvement compared to the first volume.

Oh My Goddess! First End
The franchise's first novel may not be a technical masterpiece but tells an interesting story and remains completely faithful to the characters and universe Kosuke Fujishima created. More for long-time fans than newcomers.

Galaxy Angel Rune Sub.DVD 4
Think of Rune as the original Galaxy Angel's annoying, hyperactive little sister; definitely spawned from the same gene pool, but lacking all the charm and humor of its elder sibling.

Cat's Eye Sub.DVD
Essentially a cross between the Charlie's Angels TV series and Lupin III, this sexy, mature early '80s series about a female cat burglar team certainly shows its age but also shows that entertainment value endures.

Coyote Ragtime Show GN 2
It would be nice to say that this is an exception to the rule that says that manga adaptations of anime properties are sub-par rehashes, if only because it would be nice to say something different, but it isn't.

Chibi Vampire GN 6
This vampire teen romantic comedy with a twist takes a seriously dramatic turn as it delves into the backstory of two key characters and confronts the biggest crisis yet to Karin and Kenta's relationship.

Phoenix DVD 2
More surprisingly involving, nearly biblical adventures built explicitly to explore ideas and questions about life. Perhaps a bit more accessible than before, but no less unconventional.

Cosplay Complex DVD
A hot blonde with a triple D rack and a passion for preschool girls; an owl that kindles the insatiable female desire for a plushie; a fairy with an incredible sweet tooth that transforms into various costumes and changes the bust size of the wearer at will. Absolute hilarity in a box with a bare bones plot.
