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.

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.
