I don't remember being stuffed in the box, I just remember the feeling of being tossed around in my corrugated cage as I was dragged to the convention center.

Berserk GN 26When you're busy having your mind blown by intense fantasy artwork and massive displays of power, do story flaws really matter all that much?
Twelve Kingdoms Novel 3The king and kirin of En get the feature treatment in this original source story for the anime's final story arc. Though it takes a markedly different approach than either of the previous two novels, it still delivers an exceptionally well-
Maria Watches Over Us Season 3 Sub.DVDIn some ways it's an extended coda to the first two seasons, a beautifully animated reward for weathering their emotional peaks and troughs. All rewards should be so rewarding.
Claymore GN 14Galatea reappears, old supporting characters return, and a new Awakened Being arrives, but the too-
Free Collars Kingdom GN 1-3
Free Collars Kingdom is, in short, a beautifully drawn manga series with a story that flunks miserably…and if the story flunks, the series as a whole might as well flunk too.
Darker Than Black DVD 2
Aside from proving that the series can entertain when it loosens up, this is basically more of what volume one offered: science-fiction intrigue with some surprisingly bloody action and a bit of a mean streak.
