AZUMANGA DAIOH: GRADUATION (VOLUME 6) (reviewed by Joel Pearce, overall
score 90/100):
"It's a cute little high school series, and this volume is just as light
and funny as the previous ones. This isn't the strongest disc in the
set, but it has a number of wonderful moments."

THE BIG O II: AGGRESSIVE NEGOTIATIONS (VOLUME 4) (reviewed by Steve
Evans, overall score 70/100):
"In emergencies they can also call for help from The Big O, a
giant robot. No word on whether this flying robot is on loan from
Johnny Sokko."

CRYING FREEMAN: COMPLETE COLLECTION (reviewed by Bryan Byun, overall
score 75/100):
"Sex. Violence. Violence, sex, sex, violence, violence. Reduced to its
essentials, that's Crying Freeman in a nutshell."

FINAL FANTASY: UNLIMITED: PHASE 6 (reviewed by David Ryan, overall
score 77/100):
"I just don't understand the method and madness behind this show
anymore. It's so across-the-board in its storytelling that it's
profoundly frustrating in the end."

GALAXY ANGEL: STRANDED WITHOUT DESSERT (VOLUME 3) (reviewed by Rob
Lineberger, overall score 80/100):
"From government agents hunting down a robotic chef to a crash landing
on a deserted paradise, Volume Three cooks up wacky plots. Given the
brevity of the episodes and the nature of the punch lines I can't be
too specific, but chances are if you love the series this volume will
please you."

GET BACKERS: FIND THE FINE ARTS (VOLUME 2) (reviewed by Bryan Byun,
overall score 80/100):
"Fans of lighthearted action will find much to like in Get Backers --
there's a good deal of humor to be found in the series, and a refreshing
lack of the overheated sturm und drang (surprising in a series starring
a guy named Lightning Emperor) that weighs down so many other action-
oriented anime titles."

KALEIDO STAR: MASQUERADE (VOLUME 5) (reviewed by Sandra Dozier, overall
score 90/100):
"I enjoy watching Kaleido Star -- it's one of those series that puts a
smile on your face for just being so affirming and optimistic."

PARANOIA AGENT: ENTER LIL SLUGGER (VOLUME 1) (reviewed by Joel Pearce,
overall score 95/100):
"To be honest, I am pretty much at a loss for words, and I have no idea
where the series is headed. I am enjoying it immensely, though, and even
if it carries on as it has so far, I will be content at the end. I'm
sure that any adventurous and philosophical-minded anime fans will feel
the same way, although fans of straightforward giant robot action shows
may want to keep their distance on this one."

WEDDING PEACH: RIVALS (VOLUME 6) (reviewed by Sandra Dozier, overall
score 92/100):
"This volume marks the halfway point for the series, and the storyline
is beginning to change from a lighthearted and almost naive romance
comedy to a romantic drama with intrigue (the Angel/Devil war) and
action (more powerful enemies to fight)."

WEDDING PEACH: SCARLET TEARS (VOLUME 7) (reviewed by Sandra Dozier,
overall score 90/100):
"There is definitely a coherent progression in this series: When the
girls first become Love Angels, they attract low-powered Devils and
must hone their skills on a series of love emergencies in the Human
World. As their power increases, however, they attract more powerful
Devils and take their fight to a new level as the Angel-Devil war grows
more serious."
