Heads up, MST3K fans: Volume XVII is already here!

Jimmy Kudo is just your average high-school detective: brilliant, popular, and on the fast track to success. Even the police department don’t hesitate to call him in on their toughest cases! However, when an attempt to thwart a crime (while on a date with his probably-sweetheart Rachel Moore) finds him at odds with a mysterious duo, they poison him to eliminate witnesses. Fortunately, the poison was apparently untested, and Jimmy didn’t die. Unfortunately, his body has shrunk to that of a grade-schooler, and he must conceal his identity to protect himself and those around him. Will the world’s greatest new detective be able to solve cases as child prodigy Conan Edogawa?

Death gazes on with silver eyes. Vicious monsters known as Yoma ravage a medieval world, terrorizing the human race as they hunt down and devour any and every human in their wake. A highly specialized organization has been established to create an army of female mercenaries, infused with Yoma blood, to hunt and kill the Yoma. Clare is one such warrior, a Claymore, alienated from the rest of humanity by her unnatural powers and fearful ability with the blade. In saving his life and dispatching the Yoma that was threatening his village, Clare meets a young boy named Raki and decides to let him follow her in her endless travels. (Though he’s more of a load than any sort of asset.) Privately, Clare is pursuing her own personal mission—to hunt down Priscilla, a former Claymore who fully Awakened to the Yoma blood inside of her and killed Teresa. In the winding path to that end, Clare begins to realize that the Organization knows more about Awakened Beings than they let on to the Claymores, and when she is sent to what would surely be death with several other Claymores that are marked as possible trouble makers Clare...

The combination of offensive with humor meets a new low with The Sarah Silverman Program: Season Two, Volume Two. I couldn't be happier.

Shout! Factory just released Season 1.3 of GI Joe on DVD last week. With Season 1.3, the entire first season has now been released in three individual sets. This four disc set contains episodes 44 through 65 on the first three discs, and some really cool extra features on disc four.

The BBC has been behind some of the best documentaries available. In 2007, Presenter Paul Murton and BBC Scotland put together a collection of twelve episodes, each about one of Scotland's historic Highland clans. In Clans of Scotland, Paul Murton takes an intimate look at the past, and present, of twelve clans. Later this month, BFS Entertainment is putting the entire documentary in a three disc DVD set that I've recently watched.

Fox has some interesting taste.  Sometimes they're good picking shows and sometimes they're bad. Sometimes, just sometimes, they're in the middle; and that can be perfect.

Based on the video game(s) of the same name, Devil May Cry is the ultimate payoff for those of us who greatly enjoyed the sardonic humor of the game, but are too busy to devote hours to puzzle-solving and random battles.  Dante, the sword-swinging, gun-wielding, but-kicking proprietor of Devil May Cry detective agency, lives a day-to-day existence like anyone else:  ordering pizza on an ever-growing unpaid tab, trying to find a decent strawberry sundae, and goading otherworldly horrors into fights.  Wait...what?  There's also the constant stream of wry humor, the occasional irritating orphan, and drop-ins from friends, allies, and friendly rivals who aren't above charging a finder's fee to include him on jobs.  With friends like these, who needs enemies?

    The Celestial King is retiring. He's begun a tournament to decide who will be the next Celestial King.  Each Celestial Candidate must choose a junior high school student to represent him in the tournament.  Each student is then given a power to aid them in these tournaments.  If they ever use these powers to harm a non-power use (as the students are called) they will lose talents.  Each student has a limited amount of talents and if they are all used up they cease to exist.  However, Power-User's can gain new Talents by knocking other Power-User's unconscious. This is the backdrop for the story that follow Kosuke Ueki, a Power-Use who represents Mr. Kobayashi (also known as Mr. K), a Celestial Candidate with an astute sense of righteousness.  Ueki is given the power to trash into trees.  He must defeat his opponents and get the coveted 'Talent of Blank" so that it does not fall into evil hands.  Along the way he makes friends with Ai Mori (a normal female junior high student who eventually gets wrapped up in the tournaments), Sano (whom has the ability is to turn Towels into Iron), Rinko (whom has the power...

It’s more wacky adventure on the high seas as the Straw Hat Pirates continue their adventures on the Grand Line. Their newest mission? Protecting Princess Vivi until she can be safely delivered to her homeland of Alabasta, preferably before Crocodile, the leader of the elite assassin group Baroque Works, can completely destroy her kingdom. With enemies on all sides, who has time for the minor annoyances, like landing on an island populated with warring giants and hungry dinosaurs?

You could say this began a revolution that is responsible for today's cartoons. You knew the mouse was mighty, but you didn't think he was that strong, right?

A boy and his shikigami are seldom parted. Abe no Seimei was Japan’s greatest onmyouji and kept the land safe from demonic incursions. He passed on his spiritual skills on to his son and grandsons, and named his youngest grandson, Abe no Masahiro, his heir. However, Masahiro had a problem—due to the lack of need for onmyoudo skills in recent years, he had lost his sixth sense and his ability to see spirits around him. One day he runs across a mononoke spirit Mokkun who declares that Masahiro must become an even greater onmyouji than his grandfather and pledges his loyalty as the shikigami (one of the guardian spirits in who aid Seimei) Gurren. From that day forward, Masahiro must work hard to protect the kingdom from invading demons from both abroad and at home and achieve the even harder goal of proving to the other shikigami loyal to Seimei that he is right rightful heir to his grandfather’s legacy. But in honing his powers, Masahiro will face great losses and hardships as his story unfolds.

  12,000 years ago, Shadow Angels ruled the world.  They harvested human being for a life force energy called Prana to sustain the Tree of Life.  However, it was all changed when the Shadow Angel Apollonius fell in love with a human Seliane.  He betrayed the Shadow Angels and destroyed their homeland Atlandia forcing them to retreat and recoup.  Now, the Shadow Angels have returned to once again harvest Humans.  However, humans aren't going to take it lying down.  They have trained pilots to fly a large mechanical angel named Aquarion.  In order to fly it though, three people must Merge (also referred to as Gattai) their souls as well as their Vectors (the separate parts that make up Aquarion). However, things become difficult after Sylvia and Pierre discover Apollo.  Apollo is a brash young man who grew up on the streets.  He's also believed to be the reincarnation of Apollonius and Solar Wing, the hero destined to save humanity.  Apollo must realize who he is and learn to get along with his fellow pilots if they have any hope of stopping the Shadow Angels and saving humanity. This series focuses more on how each person must overcome their own...

    The last part of Heroic begins where the first part took off.  After the battle of Jupiter, the Tribe of Iron fights their way to earth finally freeing it from the oppression of the Tribe of Silver.  From this, the Tribe of Iron realizes it can accomplish anything and moves in to take on The Tribe of Bronze and the Tribe of Silver.  After a quick and brutal battle the Tribe of Iron conquers the Tribe of Bronze's home world and realize that not only is it poorly defended that it is where the Tribe of Bronze raise their young.  Moving from that disaster they maneuver toward the Tribe of Silver's home planet, Codomos.  Once there, the Tribe of Silver engages the Tribe of Humans in a relentless all out battle.  Dhianeila meanwhile makes her to the surface to speak with the only member of the Tribe of Silver not to hold hostility toward the Tribe of Iron.  The two realize that in a lot of ways they are both looking for the same thing.  The gift of wisdom left behind by the Tribe of Gold. They realize quickly that this gift is on the planet, Elysium. ...

Military might with a bow on top. After the great dragon Shen Long was summoned back in season one, Goku and Bulma find that now they have to repeat the process all over again. The dragon balls have scattered to random locations all over the world, but the tenacious Bulma won’t stop till she gets her wish and Goku wants his grandfather’s four-star ball back. However, once again, they aren’t alone in the hunt for the dragon balls and the Red Ribbon Army has emerged from the backdrop. Goku must now fight his way through the entire hierarchy of the Red Ribbon Army if he wants to achieve his goal. If the RRA wins, then they will use the balls to conquer the world. More dire circumstances hang in the balance than Bulma getting a cute boyfriend, and Goku must grow stronger to overcome enemies stronger than he has ever faced. In the race for the seven dragon balls, who will win? (Yeah, we know who.)
