Deadman Wonderland: The Complete Series
A huge part of me has to wonder that if Deadman Wonderland had a full 26 episode run, would it be even more enjoyable than it is? Created by Manglobe, a studio that has put out plenty of great shows and based off the manga by writer Jinsei Kataoka and artist Kazuma Kondou, Deadman Wonderland [...]
Steins;Gate Part 1

Ga-Rei-Zero: The Complete Series
Ga-Rei-Zero‘s first two episodes makes one very nostalgic for the anime that was distributed in the early 90′s. There’s school girls with swords, giant mythical creatures and violence galore.

Freezing
Based on the seinen manga by the same name, this Blu-ray/DVD compilation of the anime Freezing consists of two discs with 12 episodes and several OVAs filled with all manner of exposed breasts and panty shots.

El Cazador De La Bruja
