Trinity Blood DVD 4
Trinity Blood still looks better than most of its contemporaries, but—despite a now continuous plot and a threefold increase in blood-squirting action—it remains talky, slow and a lot sillier than its grave tone indicates.

Sugar Sugar Rune GN 5
At last, after four volumes of wallowing in its own candy-themed cuteness and girly-girl appeal, Sugar Sugar Rune steps up and delivers a knockout story arc.

Origin ~Spirits of the Past~ DVD
Visually and audibly, this 90-minute movie is everything one has come to expect from a top-end Gonzo production: great artistry, quality animation, excellent and well-integrated CG work, and an ambitious soundtrack. What it lacks is a soul.

Zombie Powder GN 3
Typical shonen fare: bizarre villains with bizarre abilities try to kill the heroes in clever ways while the heroes beat them down with superior skill and/or power. You can find much better manga elsewhere which shows the same kind of fare and looks better doing it.

Rogue Galaxy
With great graphics, a fantastic battle system, and an enjoyable storyline, Rogue Galaxy offers more than what a gamer could possibly want from a great RPG.

My-HiME DVD 6
Coming off of the emotional and action highs of the last volume, this penultimate volume hits the ground running and wastes no time in squeezing the cast until they bleed pure drama. There may be only three episodes on this disc, but there isn't a single wasted moment.

Metamo Kiss GN 1
Fun to look at, and fun to read, but ways to go before becoming first-rate comedy. File it with the other boy/girl switch scenarios and pick it up when you're in the mood for something light.

Gunbuster Sub.DVD
A sharp (albeit English dub-free) and long-awaited release of the classic 1988 OVA series, its quality shines through all potential distractions. One of those rare titles that should probably be in the collection of any serious anime fan.

Basilisk DVD 4
It is still a simple historical adventure with some interesting points to be made about the perpetuation of violence, but Basilisk is steadily intensifying, walking a path that, if trod correctly, will lead to an absolutely devastating conclusion.

Ghost Hunt GN 6
This installment is little more than a prelude to a kill, with the pieces being moved into place but not much action actually happening.

Jinki:Extend DVD 3
This volume marks the end of the show's dual timeline structure, and provides answers to many of the show's nagging questions, but try as it might, the series can't completely resurrect the appeal that it lost when it choked on its self-imposed complexity.

Recast GN 1
Before reading Recast, forget everything you know about shounen fantasies. You'll need to, otherwise you'll be able to predict every plot point with painful accuracy. Good art, though.

Shakugan no Shana DVD 3
Its story elements may be typical, but its execution is not. Ample character and relationship development highlight a strong and pleasing installment in a series which always stands at least a bit above expectations.

I Can't Stop Loving You GN 1-2
I Can't Stop Loving You isn't a groundbreaking entry into the yaoi category, but it does contain a story, and a good bit of humor, which turns out to be a rather pleasing side-dish to sex and exorcism.
