Fringe: The Bishop Revival Review

Posted: 29 Jan 2010 12:00 AM PST

The third volume of Aquarion sees normal service resumed, with a few episodes that are cheesy even by the show's high-dairy-content standards. That's not a complaint, just a comment, though, as things really pick up towards the end.

Durarara!! Episode #04

Posted: 29 Jan 2010 12:00 AM PST

The story of the headless rider is told rather plainly here as more back story is passed along.
