It appears that in the case of episode eight of Tokyo Magnitude 8.0, the immediacy... | | |
| 9:50pm | Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 - Episode 8 | | | | "It never rains but it pours" it probably true of the situation in the midst and immediate aftermath of any large-scale disaster, but it certainly feels as though we've been run through the mill by Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 - Such concerns showed no sign of abating by the end of the last episode either, with... | | |

| 9:22pm | Hatsukoi Limited: Gentei Shoujo - Episodes 1-2 | | | | Don't you just hate it when you're in such a hurry that you forget to put on any underwear? No? Hmm, must just be then.

| 9:13pm | Hetalia Axis Powers - Episode 31 | | | | It's Christmas in the world of Hetalia: Axis Powers. Again.

| 7:35pm | Spice and Wolf II - Episode 8 | | | | Episode seven of this second series of Spice and Wolf took us right back to the core of what makes this show so great, and from there this eighth instalment continues in a similar vein, albeit with more of a focus on Lawrence than Horo, which in itself is actually quite nice to see.Of course, through... | | |
| 9:20pm | Valkyria Chronicles - Episode 21 | | | | After the sadness of recent events, episode twenty of Valkyria Chronicles took an even more serious turn with death, war and trauma aplenty - A far cry from those oddly fluffy earlier episodes.The big news of that episode was, of course, Faldio shooting Alicia as part of his continued and growing belief... |
| 8:50pm | Shangri-la - Episode 21 | | | | The end of the last episode of Shangri-la saw the United Nations drop a huge amount of explosives onto Akihibara (and more precisely Karin's home), instantly killing everybody within range of the blast.

| 6:16pm | Bakemonogatari - Episode 7 | | | | A week without a new episode of Bakemonogatari last week proved to be a rather depressing thing, but thankfully this glittering little show is back, and ready and raring to go to make up for lost time.Of course, the last episode left us with quite a shock, in the form of Araragi being beaten to a pulp... | | |
