Finding the Action, Soul Eater
One of the things that I like about the niche anime we tend to get on dvd is most of these shows weren’t expected to run very long (12-26 half hour episodes), so they would end in a reasonable amount of time.

Yes, Aika R-16 is the ridiculous panty show, where the barrage of panties are more punchline than suggestive, but most definitely vulgar. Trust me, this [...]
