Now Streaming: Black Cat (1-24 dub)
We've had plenty of mecha lately (GUNDAM RIGHT HERE!!!) but not much for fans of shonen action stuff. So here's a secret organization of attractive teenaged assassins for you. Happy now? But hurry, it expires April 30! [discuss]

Maria Holic DVD Complete Collection
A lesbian transfers to an all-girls school where her first crush turns out to be an evilly manipulative boy in disguise in an energetic, gleeful comedy which flavors its humor with outright weirdness. If this series fails to entertain some viewers, it certainly will not be for lack of effort.

Hidamari Sketch Sub.DVD
With Hidamari Sketch, Akiyuki Shinbo finally shatters the standard comedy barrier and ends up in the realm of the abstract.

Devil May Cry DVD
From the food gags to the enormous stack of hack-and-slash clichés that form the show's script, “dumb and contrived” are really the best words for this. Just repress the urge to “press A to scroll through the text” because sadly, this is not a video game, and this narrative oatmeal does not work outside of cutscenes.

Glass Mask Sub.DVD
While both the positive and negative influences on Maya make for interesting story and character development, it also shines a big spotlight on the second half of the season's main flaw: the inability to bring a satisfying or timely end to any relationship.

S.A Sub.DVD Collection 2
Baldly artificial but strangely satisfying. And very conclusion-esque.

Tears to Tiara DVD part 2
Though it only occasionally shakes the pervasive feel of its fantasy RPG origins, the second half of this mix of Christian and Greek mythology with Arthurian legend shines when it does. If you at least tolerated the first half, you should be quite pleased with the second half.

Bamboo Blade DVD 2
This is exactly what a great sports show should be like. It's not really about kendo, it's about a bunch of young girls in love with the game. It is a wonderful little story that deserves all the praise that can be dished out for what it has to give.

Dragonaut DVD part 2
It's amazing what actually developing a coherent plot and more fully exploring characters can do for a series that, through most of its first 13 episodes, was a train wreck. But does a much stronger second half make weathering a weak first half worthwhile? In this case, the answer is a marginal “yes.”

Soul Eater Part 1
This title's use of classic formula has a delicious sharp edge on it that slices in and hooks deep from the start. You can hardly do better than Soul Eater.

Murder Princess DVD
Yes, it's fun, but it's ephemerally so, and you can't help but get pissed at the irreplaceable slice of your life that it eats away.
