    Bleach DVD #6 Bleach DVD #6 is the beginning to one of the best story arcs in anime I have ever seen. Unlike most shounen anime, fights in the Bleach Soul Society arc are fast-paced, loaded with substance and never dull.

    Hikaru no Go DVD #10 This is a perfect example of an anime I've continuously put off to the side for later, and yet when i finally get aroudn to it I fall in love with the series and beat myself up for not viewing it earlier!

    Naruto the Movie DVD The latest mission for our favorite ninja team? Protect and escort a spoiled actress to her next film set. Oh, and keep her from running away of course!

Despite a low amount of releases this week, there were so many I enjoy, making it a bit difficult to choose my top suggestions for this week.

Top DVD Release
Kurau Phantom Memory DVD #3 [ ADV ] - This series is one of my all time favorites; it’s often overlooked, so I have “pimp” it as much as possible!

Top Manga Release
O-Parts Hunter Volume #5 [ VIZ ] - Despite all its fluff, O-Parts Hunter (666 Satan) is a fun read.

Top New Series
Air DVD #1 [ ADV ] - Despite another late release and dubious marketing, this series is one to check out; you’ll either love it or hate it!

Yukito is a traveling performer; a wanderer. He survives with only the clothes on his back, a puppet, and a story from his mother: the story of “The Girl in the Sky.” He doesn’t know who or where she is; only that he must find her. On the verge of starvation, he is befriended by a young misfit named Misuzu, whose eccentricities serve to hide a troubled home life. Misuzu offers Yukito a place to stay, and in return he listens to her dreams - dreams in which she lives in the sky.

What’s worse than having a sick teacher? Having your sick teacher be a really cranky 11-year old, that’s what. When the sick bug quarantines the whole school, both temperatures and tempers are rising to dangerously hilarious health levels. Things get even weirder when Ichijo electrocutes Himeko, turning her into a world-conquering maniac, while the Drama Club and the Film Club finally come to blows in their longstanding war against each other.
