High-School student Yukinari, who has been bullied by girls his whole life (particularly by his neighbor), is allergic to them -- so imagine what happens when he is magically transported to another world where males only consist of 10% of the population. He gets back to Earth, but, he opens the door for members of the opposite sex to come visiting Earth -- with hilarious results. If you like the DVD, the manga is also available from Tokyopop.

There's more to anime than just giant robots, buxom schoolgirls and wavy-haired psyonics. Much like the incredible works of Satoshi Kon, Human Crossing allows us to experience contemporary society with its pitfalls and opportunities, the beauty of life and the hope for the future. It's a subtle, serious and mature series that doesn't rely on explosions to get across its message. We want more anime like this!

Batman Beyond Soundtrack Say what you will about the series (we loved it), but there's no denying that the music is an earth-shattering techno tour-de-force of staggering proportions. Nothing this "goth" has ever gotten on TV before or after, or carried with it the emotional impact as the music from this series has.

Rife with jarring and discordant notes, lots of crunchy guitars, keyboard blasts and driving percussion, this CD is about the only cartoon soundtrack you can really head-bang to. It would not sound out of place at any NYC dance club. This must be played... LOUDLY.

As a Girls-With-Guns series, it's over the top, both in terms of the action and the fan-service, and overall as an anime, it does not disappoint -- and cowardly Kyohei is clearly the star as comic relief. The DVD is loaded with extras as well, so grab this delicious series and have a blast!
