Mitsudomoe Episodes 8-13 Streaming
Maybe it won't take its place among the comedy greats, but that doesn't mean it isn't great comedy.
Deadman Wonderland GN 3
It may not be entirely coherent who's doing what for who and why but you'd be hard-pressed to find a current series more compellingly able to pull you through without really caring to stop for all those little details.

Chi's Sweet Home GN 3
Those who were not entirely sold on the first two volumes of Chi's Sweet Home may finally find the clincher in Volume 3, which brings out the bittersweet side of owning a pet.

Eden of the East BLURAY
A twisty tale of conspiracies and revolution that plays equally well as action vehicle, character comedy, sweet romance, or speculative near-future sci-fi. The year's first truly great anime.

Toradora! Volume 2 Premium Edition
Though it still boasts some respectable comedy chops, the series' second half triumphs through its frank emotions, credible character developments, and a great sense of timing and dialog. The final episodes may be controversial, but this is still one of the best and most tightly-written of all anime romantic comedies.

Black Gate Omnibus GN 1-3
Dull first volume aside, once you're finally in the thick of it Black Gate really takes advantage of its refreshingly simple-plot to focus instead on a group of well-flawed characters who aren't too hard to look at it either.
Heroman Episodes 14-26 Streaming
Monster entertainment chops don't make the series' abandonment of the ambition and complexities of the Hughes arc go away, but they do make it easy to forget, and ultimately fairly easy to forgive.
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya DVD Second Season
Three more Haruhi stories get animated to fill in the gaps in the original series in this Extras-laden release by Bandai. The artistry is a bit off, and some of the gimmickry is of dubious merit, but this is still more of the same material that became a 2006 obsession for fans worldwide.

Air Gear GN 15-17 Omnibus
Air Gear is an exceedingly dumb series, but in small doses a fun one. Cram six hundred pages of it down just about anyone's gullet, though, and they'll likely notice the dumb more than the fun.
Occult Academy Episodes 8-13 Streaming
The fall of Maya's once cutting character into squidgy ruin fairly ruins the series, but not before lining up plenty of seriocomic action and a touching tale of a little ghost girl.
Random Fun
Read or Die GN 4
The finale of R.O.D. brings out all the strengths and weaknesses of an action series: constant thrills and a highly imaginative concept, but bogged down by its own lack of subtlety and predictable execution.
