| 1:25pm | CANAAN - Episode 10 | | | | The last episode of CANAAN finally seemed to point this series in the right direction, and with some suitably intriguing encounters ahead; encounters which begin to bear fruit as we progress through this tenth instalment of the series.As the group reach the research lab which was the destination for... | | |
| 8:58am | Bakemonogatari - Episode 9 | | | | It's time for the start of another story arc within Bakemonogatari, and the bad news is that this means we don't really get to see any of Senjougahara at all not that her presence doesn't still loom large over much of the proceedings, as ever.This particular episode really focuses almost entirely on... | | |
| 11:06am | Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 - Episode 9 | | | | The last episode of Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 was undoubtedly the "is he or isn't he?" story of last week amongst viewers of this series, and I have to confess that I approached episode nine of the show with something approaching trepidation, knowing that chances are I was in for a torrid time in emotional... | | |
| 9:20am | The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya - Season 2 - Episode 13 (aka Episode 23) | | | | Watching new episodes of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya of late has felt almost like a never-ending litany of complaints and questioning of KyoAni's decisions, and even the end of the interminable Endless Eight story arc hasn't really been enough to dissipate these doubts. I have to give this latest... | | |
| 8:42am | Spice and Wolf II - Episode 9 | | | | By the end of the last episode I couldn't help but find myself worrying that Lawrence's late night chat with fellow merchant Abe would end up getting him into trouble, and low and behold within seconds of episode nine kicking off poor old Lawrence is left receiving the cold shoulder from Horo for leaving... | | |
| 10:15pm | Valkyria Chronicles - Episode 22 | | | | Considering what an important point of plot progression it contained, the last episode of Valkyria Chronicles was a surprisingly lifeless and half-hearted one which almost seemed ashamed of and apologetic for the storyline it had unleashed upon its viewers. After that disappointment, can the series... |
| 9:26pm | Basquash! - Episode 21 | | | | After meandering this way and that throughout its run thus far, Basquash! finally seems to be turning its eyes towards the final straight of the series, even though we're yet to see Dan reach the moon. This remains the case in this twenty-first episode, which remains resolutely Earthdash-bound.Indeed,... |
| 1:29pm | Hetalia Axis Powers - Episode 32 | | | | We've already seen some brief cameos from the Roman Empire in past instalments of Hetalia: Axis Powers, but come episode thirty-two he gets an opportunity to take centre stage courtesy of a late night visit to Germany (although he's only really there to see his "grandson").Needless to say there's a bit... | | |
| 11:32am | Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei - Episode 8 | | | | Following on directly from the last episode of Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei and its discussion of what makes a surprise well, surprising episode eight continues along the same track (after the funniest "story so far" snippet yet) with the concept of the reverse surprise.In other words, isn't it more... | | |
| 11:03pm | Hanners' Anime 'Blog reaches 1,000 posts | | | | Cue fanfares, cheering crowds, and the tossing of undergarments in my general direction, for this post marks the 1,000th entry to find its way onto the not-so hallowed pages of this humble 'Blog!When I started my episodic 'Blogging adventures on a whim around eighteen months ago, I never really dreamed... |
| 9:56pm | Shangri-la - Episode 22 | | | | Episode twenty-two of Shangri-la commences with a shot of Lady Mikuni walking up a ridiculously long flight of stairs whilst wearing a ridiculous pair of platform shoes, which leaves me wondering whether Atlas needs more elevators or simply more royal fashion consultants.Of course, had this been a KyoAni... |
| 9:04pm | Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood - Episode 21 | | | | What with a week's break for the series and a twentieth episode that dwelled on Edward Elric an his father, the scrap involving Roy Mustang and company feels like it happened quite some time ago. However, episode twenty-one returns us to the aftermath of that skirmish with the Homunculus, ready and... |
| 9:30pm | CANAAN - Episode 9 | | | | As CANAAN progresses as a series, so it seems more and more like one of those shows the progresses and develops in waves, with a run-of-the-mill and uninteresting episode one week followed by something with far more meat upon its complex bones the next. After last week provided (to my mind) one of those... | | |
| 8:39pm | Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei - Episode 7 | | | | After quite the absence (with a week of in Japanese airing terms, but longer for us poor English-speaking saps), Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei is back - Although it appears that the pthey calacid and air-headed Oora has been sat at her blood-stained desk the entire time; a suitably hilarious revelation... | | |
| 10:59am | Bakemonogatari - Episode 8 | | | | From learning about the true nature of Kanbaru's "monkey's paw" that isn't last episode, this eighth instalment of Bakemonogatari launches us straight into the history of how this state of affairs came about for her, all the way from the loss of her parents in elementary school onwards. The story takes... | | |
