Detroit Metal City Sub.DVD
Vulgar and mean and misanthropic. Also inspired: a one-trick comedy that runs just long enough that it doesn't wear out its welcome and that contains just enough bitter truth that it cuts even as we laugh.

Bakuman. GN 15
Achieving success in the manga business is like scaling a challenging mountain—and as Bakuman shows, staying atop that mountain becomes its own set of challenges.

Start with a Happy Ending GN 1
Start With a Happy Ending is a charmingly bittersweet collection that presents snippets of people's lives and tells a variety of complete stories. This book is not meant to be read in one sitting – but it is worth picking up again and again.

The Limit GN 1
Treating high school social issues with the harshness they merit, Keiko Suenobu fuses bullying with a survival story, and if the result isn't perfect, then it still manages to be an engrossing read.

So, I Can't Play H! episodes 7-12
While the series remains trashy and fan service-laden, a dramatic shift in tone which pervades much of the second half results in some surprisingly effective serious content. It does more than just wallow in its most base instincts.
Wolf Children
A story of parenthood and childhood, of a boy and girl who can become wolves in a blink, and of the “ordinary” woman, no less amazing, who bears and raises them. It's wonderful.

Bleach GN 48-49
In these two volumes, Bleach dramatically marks the end of an era and the beginning of a new one—and it's about time.
Hunter × Hunter Episodes 27-52 Streaming
This stretch of the series is divided into two arcs. The first, a tournament-fighting waste of time, finds the show at its nadir. The second, detailing Kurapika's revenge, finds the show at its peak. Go figure.
Code of Princess
Code of Princess finds ambitious ideas trapped in an unambitious game, pairing swift and enjoyable combat with mediocre design. At least it grasps the essence of a good brawler.

Mayo Chiki! Complete Collection
This story about a gynophobic boy who befriends a secretly cross-dressing butler delivers just enough on its humor, character development, charm, and fan service to be entertaining, and for a series like this, that's enough.
