| 9:58pm | Valkyria Chronicles - Episode 18 | | | | After dismissing Valkyria Chronicles depiction of war as too soft and fluffy numerous times during this series thus far, it seemed as though the last episode was determined to ram those words focribly down my throat in spectacular and daring fashion. Surely they wouldn't. Have they?. Yep, that was a... |
| 9:00pm | CANAAN - Episode 5 | | | | It almost seems like the more of CANAAN I watch, the harder I find it to deconstruct - Even though the major plot points of the series are finally coming to the surface here, it still feels a little like a show that doesn't know entirely what it wants to be.This fifth instalment begins with Canaan still... | | |
| 5:44pm | Saki - Episode 18 | | | | As we reached the end of the seventeenth episode of Saki, things finally started to get interesting. Very interesting.

| 2:29pm | Bakemonogatari - Episode 5 | | | | After slowing down and very nearly appearing to lose its way (an ironic turn of phrase for this story arc, I know) last time around, episode five of Bakemonogatari brings us back to this series at its sparkling best to finish off Mayoi Hachikuji's story. Well, more or less anyhow.While episode four... | | |
| 10:17pm | Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei - Episode 4 | | | | After possibly the funniest episode of all time last week, I suppose episode four of Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei was always going to struggle to live up to those dizzy heights. Not that this was a bad episode, mind you It simply didn't force me to choose between laughing and breathing as episode three... | | |
| 6:28pm | Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 - Episode 4 | | | | Having survived collapsing building and bridges and capsizing boats during the last episode of Tokyo Magnitude 8.0, much of this fourth episode of the series prefers to centre around the more human fallout of the disaster.To those ends, it's fair to say that Mirai is having a pretty rough time of things,... | | |
| 4:56pm | The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya - Season 2 - Episode 8 (aka Episode 18) | | | | I won't lie to you, this constant repetition of the same episode of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is having an adverse effect on my life. I wake up every morning thinking "Something was strange", whenever I hear the phone ring I feel the need to call out "Kyon-kun, phone!", I end phone conversations... | | |
| 8:53pm | Kara no Kyoukai 6 - Boukyaku Rokuon | | | | While I haven't covered the previous five Kara no Kyoukai movies on this 'Blog, I suppose it's important for reference to start out by mentioning that I have watched said movies - Indeed, I took in the entire series up to that point a couple of months ago over the course of a few days, leaving me hungry... |
| 6:33pm | Spice and Wolf II - Episode 4 | | | | After the last episode of Spice and Wolf II, one of the replies to my entry posited that said episode's closing scene would go down as an epic one in anime history - While I think that may have been over-egging the delicious pudding of this series, the scene in question did nonetheless light a fire under... | | |
| 10:05pm | Basquash! - Episode 17 | | | | From the heights of the moon (or at least close to it) to the depths of Underground, the last couple of episodes have certainly seen a hefty change in fortunes for Team Basquash Still, the good news is that it looks like Dan's made himself a new friend.After being rescued by a mysterious Bigfoot last... |
| 9:03pm | Valkyria Chronicles - Episode 17 | | | | Another day, another dangerous mission for Squad 7 to embark upon - Welkin and company just don't get any lucky breaks these days, do they? Mind you, when your Militia unit has put most of the Gallian army to shame I suppose you're just asking for such difficulties.Anyway, this seventeenth episode of... |
| 10:38pm | Hetalia Axis Powers 2 - Episode 1 (aka Episode 27) | | | | Just when you thought it was safe to start taking history seriously again Hetalia: Axis Powers is back to terrorise everything you thought you knew! I was going to say that it's almost as if it's never been away, but now I come to think of it, it has never been away.Anyhow, episode twenty-seven of the... | | |
| 8:55pm | Shangri-la - Episode 17 | | | | The end of the last instalment of Shangri-la left us with Takehiko pointing a gun at Kuniko's head - Surely this would be a waste of a bullet, when most of the world would be calling for him to point it at Momoko's head instead?Anyhow, we soon learn the reason for this treachery, that being that Takehiko... |
| 7:27pm | Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood - Episode 17 | | | | If you thought the last instalment of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood was dark and depressing, then you ain't see nothing yet, as episode seventeen takes us into even more dark and morally dubious territory.With Maria Ross called into questioning regarding Lieutenant Hughes' murder last time around,... |
| 9:01pm | CANAAN - Episode 4 | | | | Three episodes in, CANAAN is safely proving to be this season's "series where I really can't figure out what's going on, but I'm enjoying it anyway" - I guess I must not be the only one, considering that it's now been announced that three movies will be derived from the series starting this October.After... | | |
