Demons, demon wolves, grim reapers, Victorian England, murder, and melancholy: these are what you’ll get in droves with Black Butler. Heir to the Phantomive estate and toy company, Ciel Phantomhive is a young boy who lost his parents years ago and formed a pact with a demon cum butler, Sebastian Michaelis, to avenge them. When Sebastian finally kills those responsible for murdering the late Mr. and Mrs. Phantomhive, he will consume Ciel’s soul. Trust me, you won’t be able to explain this show to your friends without using the word "melancholy."

We will now review Dragon Ball Z KAI Part Seven released by FUNimation. Wait, stop, just keep reading! This set contains episodes 78-88 in two DVDs that cover the ending of the android saga and the beginning of the cell games. I know that people who read this will think of two things: slow paced fights and Mr. Popo turning blue, but that is not the case. The fights move at a faster rate then the original Dragon Ball Z episodes and Mr. Popo is not blue. Mr. Popo’s color change only takes place in the Toonzai CW version and not the FUNimation release of Dragon Ball Z KAI.

When the final episode of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood aired in Japan in 2010, a teaser showed up once the credits finished rolling. Eagle-eyed viewers spotted that there would be an upcoming movie in 2011; on November 2010, the first teaser trailer aired on the official website. In 2005, the first Fullmetal Alchemist movie, Fullmetal Alchemist the Movie: Conqueror of Shamballa, was released in order to tie up the loose ends from the first series while the second movie, Fullmetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of Milos is actually set within the middle of the manga storyline.

A direct sequel to last year’s release of Heaven’s Lost Property, Heaven’s Lost Property: Forte is a great example of a sequel improving on the quality of the original. Much like Francis Coppola’s Godfather II, as fun and entertaining as the first series was, the sequel improves on it in both story and entertainment value.

If you were given a sexy, busty, female android who would do anything for you, what would you do with her? If you’re anything like me, you would make her get down on her knees and give you fanservice. Not that kind of fanservice you sick minded person, but rather “fan” service as in using a traditional bamboo hand fan to cool off. Hey, it’s hot here in California and I have a robot that will do whatever I want! That’s the premise behind FUNimation’s fourteen-episode ecchi series, Sora no Otoshimono or Heaven’s Lost Property, where run-of-the-mill protagonist Tomoki Sakurai gets the chance of a lifetime to experience true bliss and yes, he’s a lucky bastard for it. At first, though, he finds the idea rather repugnant.
