| 9:42pm | Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei - Episode 5 | | | | If episode four of Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei was ever so slightly off the show's usual comic pacing, then thank goodness for episode five, which once again had me struggling to breathe with laughter at times.First up on the agenda is the issue of "back-scratching" as Nozomu calls it, or otherwise... | | |
| 9:04pm | Bakemonogatari - Episode 6 | | | | Mayoi Hachikuji's ghost may have been put to rest in general terms last episode as that particular story arc ended, but she's still well and truly present and incorrect in this sixth instalment of Bakemonogatari as she continues on as a wandering spirit with a penchant for following Rararagi around.... | | |

| 9:23pm | CANAAN - Episode 6 | | | | Despite suffering from such a rough time almost since the start of this series, things are finally beginning to look up for Minoru and Maria in journalistic terms, with the former beginning to get his head around the whole "Borner" phenomenon, although admittedly his colleagues back at the office of... | | |
| 5:31pm | Saki - Episode 19 | | | | Come the end of the last episode, we were left teetering at the brink, with the end of the Mahjong qualifying tournament final literally a few hands away and Koromo still holding a pretty solid lead.

| 9:42pm | Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 - Episode 5 | | | | The last episode of Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 ended with the collapse of Tokyo Tower - A landmark arguably on a scale with New York's World Trade Centre in terms of the impact its destruction has on the populace of the country and, perhaps, the world. Naturally, this event is afforded at least a little time... | | |
| 4:49pm | The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya - Season 2 - Episode 9 (aka Episode 19) | | | | Something was strange I somehow got that feeling. I was half-watching an episode of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. I was half-heartedly hoping that the story arc would end, and I somehow got the feeling I'd see a new reply to my 'Blog soon.- "Andy, new comment."- You don't have to tell me that-... | | |
| 10:40pm | Spice and Wolf II - Episode 5 | | | | If you were disappointed by the relatively Horo-free zone that was episode four of Spice and Wolf II, then I'm afraid that you're going to have to prepare yourself for more of the same this time around, as the focus remains well and truly upon Lawrence for the vast majority of this instalment.Of course,... | | |
| 8:46pm | GA - Geijutsuka Art Design Class - Episode 2 | | | | After rather a hefty gap, it's finally time to take a look at the second episode of GA - Geijutsuka Art Design Class, although to be honest not all that much has changed from my thoughts on the first instalment really.Having said that, this episode does seem happier to spend a little more time setting... | | |
| 9:17pm | Basquash! - Episode 18 | | | | The last episode of Basquash! left Dan at the sharp end of katana in the underground nightmare in which him and his cohorts had been trapped for a couple of episodes - Is there any means of escape for this supposed legend?

| 9:18pm | Taishou Yakyuu Musume - Episode 5 | | | | Despite the potential disasters of the last episode beind averted, Akiko's baseball team is still one girl short, a fact that even Yuki's procurement of some baseball uniforms for all and sundry isn't going to cover up. This predicament isn't helped by their teacher Anna's insistence upon basic training... |
| 9:06pm | Hetalia Axis Powers 2 - Episode 2 (aka Episode 28) | | | | It may be the start of August here in the real world, but in Hetalia-land it appears that it's Christmas! Just a tad early there, guysAnyhow, this episode sees Italy build a rather lackluster Christmas tree while also urging Germany and Japan to do the same (with the latter having watched too much Evangelion... | | |
| 9:43pm | Shangri-la - Episode 18 | | | | With the Daedulus mushroom things running riot, there's only one option - To bomb Tokyo to the ground to destroy them and their threat. Actually, given the efficacy of Kuniko's boomerang on them I'd argue that there are two options to deal with their threat, but far be it from me to get in the way of... | | |
| 8:57pm | Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood - Episode 18 | | | | If the last episode of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood was full of surprises, then this eighteenth instalment is perhaps a little less shocking, if only because it confirms what I would imagine we'd all more or less guessed at come the climax of the previous offering.Of course, from the very start we... |
