Computer-animated movie adaptation of .hack//G.U. RPG trilogy
The North American distributor Bandai Entertainment has announced at its "surprise" Otakon 2008 panel on Saturday night that it has acquired the feature-length .hack//G.U. Trilogy anime film. CyberConnect2 (.hack//SIGN, .hack//Legend Of The Twilight) adapted the story of the .hack//G.U. role-playing game trilogy for this newly animated feature in high definition. The project was first screened in a Tokyo theater in December of 2007, and Bandai Visual released the project on DVD and Blu-ray Disc in Japan, after an initial delay, just this past March. Bandai Entertainment and the other Namco Bandai group companies have released the earlier game and anime installments in the franchise, including the .hack//Roots prequel.

Transformers: The Headmasters DVDAll but requires your being familiar with the ins and outs of the Autobots and Decepticons of the 1980s to get the most from the show, but any fan of vintage mecha with some time on their hands will surely get plenty of kicks out of this set.
Arakawa Under the Bridge DVD/
Kamisama Kiss GN 3Nanami proves to be a much stronger heroine than Sakurakoji's Misao, never giving in to her distress and actively attempting to come to her own rescue. It is unlikely that this similarity is deliberate, but shoujo readers who are fed up with Black Bird may find solace here.

Trigun: Badlands Rumble
Well over half the movie's runtime is unnecessary or blatantly stretched out, which makes for absolutely atrocious writing, but thanks to the stellar production it doesn't dampen the movie's entertainment value. It's a middling TV episode wrapped in loads of hijinks, but that's probably what most fans were expecting.

Buddha: The Great Departure
As an adaptation of its source material, this film is poor: Tezuka fans can safely avoid it. As a stand-alone entertainment, it's merely forgettable, a little overstuffed and confusing.

Dance in the Vampire Bund DVD/Blu-Ray
This story about the Queen of Monsters and the boy (er, werewolf) who devoted himself to her features a fascinating female lead, good visuals, and lots of action and fan service, but it also decidedly hedges into lolicon territory. It is a flawed but still enjoyable series.
Monster Episodes 31-45 Streaming
Frankfurt is Johan's arc, the one where we get closest to the monster and delve furthest into its ambitions and inner workings. And what we see there is terrifying.
Astarotte's Toy episodes 7-12
Lotte and crew go on a mundane romp through anime clichés, and up the lolicon content, as this too-short series wraps up. It can be entertaining and endearing, and also has regular fan service, but it is ultimately not as special as it could have been.
SaiKano: Another Love Song DVDThough hardly essential for full appreciation of the TV series, these two episodes are a nice complement to the original. They don't match the quality of the original's storytelling but do fill in some gaps and provide a fuller picture of what was going on and why.
