freshman at a Tokyo law school, he
happens upon Mitsuo and it seems
as though they were fated to be
together. Or are they? Not only is
Golden Time
a wonderful love story,
but it also raises some pertinent
questions about love, destiny and
happenstance.
With nary a hamster in sight,
Hamatora
is in fact a
clandestine private detective
agency manned by super-
powered private dicks, and
handsome ones at that. The only
catch is that they don't take any
old case. They actually have to
be interested, so you'd better
step up with something juicy
– and juicy is what we get
when the group investigate
the serial murders
of fellow
supers, also
known as
Minimum Holders.

anime series of recent
years,
Blue Exorcist
gets a collected release on both
DVD and beautiful Bu-ray. Rin
Okumura and his brother Yukio,
the goodie-two-shoes of the
pair, follow in the footsteps of
their adoptive father. The catch
is that they find themselves
battling Rin's biological father,
Satan. You may have heard of him. Big, horned,

living find themselves unable to reproduce. As
time passes by, humanity finds itself creeping
closer and closer to extinction. But what exactly
does extinction mean when the dead have
nowhere to go?
It seems timely that we receive the
Complete Collection of Robotics; Notes
at a
time when Japan has promised us a full-sized,
fully functioning Mobile Suit. But of course
there's more to this series than giant fighting
robots, it's also filled with mystery, intrigue
and friendship through adversity.
It's rather rare for long-running shonen
series to still kick butt once the episode
count gets into the hundreds, but
FairyTail
Collection 17
breaks the mould. The Grand
Magic Games arc comes to a fiery and
exciting end with new enemies and allies
from unlikely sources.
In an episode of many faces,
Code Geass:
Akito the Exiled - Episode 3
has W-O taking
on the carefree lifestyle of wandering gypsies,
Leila taking a one-woman fight to a terrorist
organisation, and Shin making a move to take
control of the entirety of Euro Britannia. And all
of this in a meagre 51 minutes!
