…and receive a 9 for their well-earned efforts!

It’s rare to see works that are damn near impeccable, but today, we present two shows that reach such heights.  The first, Cross Game, is a flawless execution of the sports genre which succeeds through an engrossing story complete with a likable cast.  The other is Last Exile, which somehow avoids Gonzo’s tendency towards misstepping to deliver excellent visuals on top of the action that it brings to bear.
