Jason Thompson on Barefoot Gen: "Gen faces the horror of war, starvation and death with the passion of a shonen manga hero, but this is a shonen manga where anyone, at any time, could die."
Bamboo Dong on Crayon Shin-chan: " I imagine everyone has a life quota on how many times they can stand seeing Shin's butt dance, and mine is reaching its red zone."
Carlo Santos on House of Five Leaves: "House of Five Leaves does a fine job of finishing up its intricate, character-driven ending, but the series' ultimate accomplishment is the way it defies all expectations of the samurai genre. This is a saga that barely relies on violent fight scenes, features a hero whose greatest act comes from quiet self-sacrifice rather than powerful conquest, and has more to say about the human spirit and integrity than feudal politics or warfare."
Sean Gaffney on The Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer: "Its combination of friendship and nihilism is quite addicting."
Theron Martin on Bakemonogatari: "At its core, Bakemonogatari is really just a cross between a supernatural harem series and one of those Key/Visual Art's titles where the male protagonist goes around solving the problems of broken moe girls."
Chris Beveridge on Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom: "With this series, clocking in at twenty-six episodes with animation production done by Bee Train, we get a much more fleshed out and fully realized piece of work that’s essentially another chapter in the girls with guns series from Bee Train except that one of the girls is a dude."
