Plot Summary:
The Diclonius, a mutated homo sapien that is said to be selected by God and will eventually become the destruction of mankind, possesses two horns in their heads, and has a "sixth sense" which gives it telekinetic abilities. Due to this dangerous power, they have been captured and isolated in laboratories by the government. Lucy, a young and psychotic Diclonius, manages to break free of her confines and brutally murder most of the guards in the laboratory, only to get shot in the head as she makes her escape. She survives and manages to drift along to a beach, where two teenagers named Kouta and Yuka discovers her. Having lost her memories, she was named after the only thing that she can now say, "Nyuu," and the two allow her to stay at Kouta's home. However, it appears that the evil "Lucy" is not dead just yet...

School Rumble DVD 2Shows 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 2The 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 EndThe 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-
Galaxy Angel Rune Sub.DVD 4Think 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.

It would be nice to say that this is an exception to the rule that says that manga adaptations of anime properties are sub-
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.
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.
