In a ruined world, sleek and beautiful Casshern must battle both robots and the oppressive weight of his own sins in this dramatic reinterpretation of the original 1973 TV series. A dark and stylish allegory about guilt and despair, it will quickly either fascinate or repel.

Twin Spica GN 3
Friends helping friends, seeking solace wherever it can be found, making up for what was lost—this is what the story is really about. Not wallowing in tragedy, but showing how it can be overcome.

The Tyrant Falls in Love GN 1
Tetsuhiro Morinaga has been in love with his upper-classman for over four years, but it's a bit of a unique case when the object of his affection is a temperamental, high-strung homophobe. It's quickly, and loudly, apparent that this isn't going to be another tale of blushing schoolboys.

One Piece DVD Season 3 Part 2
This is one of those stretches of episodes that is best appreciated not for what it is, but for what it is setting up.

One Piece Season 3 Part 1 DVD
This can't be filler…what the Jolly Roger IS it? This weird relationship between the pointless and provocative keeps the fans watching while being more than kind to newbies as well, but needless to say: this is not the best One Piece has to offer.

Occult Academy Episodes 1-7 Streaming
Like the curriculum at its titular academy, which embraces every contradictory whackjob idea in the world, Occult Academy is a mess. It's also a lot of fun. Go figure.

Speed Grapher 3 LE
The storytelling has improved, and the series offers just enough interesting content to keep fans following it, but based on its first half Speed Grapher will never be mistaken for a quality series.
