How to Train your Dragon
How to Train your Dragon tells the story of Hiccup, a geeky very un-viking boy from a dragon-slaying Viking village. One day, Hiccup gets to meet an unusual dragon, whom he names Toothless, that will challenge all the knowledge that his people have of these creatures.
Sa Dingding – Harmony
If there’s interesting talent coming out of contemporary Chinese art, Sa Dingding leads the pack. Her sophomore album contains pieces dealing with self-discovery, mantras and sutras with classical Chinese instruments and electronic beats.
Enki Bilal – The Nikopol Trilogy
Set in 2023, this trilogy follows the return of Nikopol, who after spending 30 years orbiting the earth finds France under fascist rule after two nuclear wars. The result? It’s a cold, scary world out there with aliens, deformed human beings, and total chaos.

I respect it and enjoyed it, but it was more of a detached fascination then any real affection for the characters.
TVXQ! – The Secret Code
After the huge success of Mirotic, DBSK is back with their Japanese comeback. Just a year after T, they try to keep the new style they acquired for their Korean release, but the attempt falls short.
