ANIMAX UK Weekly Highlights 30th-4th
This Week's ANIMAX Picks:
In the words of bushy-haired rocker Alice Cooper: 'School's out for Summer.' And, indeed, for many of us 'school's out forever.' But join us, as we take a trip back in time to those first days of freedom, when exams were over, and the world was our oyster. We're offering up non-stop Grade A anime action to fill those long sunlit days. The only test you'll face is the question of what to watch first... And for those who can't resist another trip to the classroom, make sure to catch the D-Fragments – premiering exclusively this week on the UK's Ultimate Anime Destination.
D-FRAGMENTS
UK SERIES PREMIERE
Kenji likes to think that he and his gang of friends are the bad boys of their school. That is, until he meets the four insane girls of a game-making club whose personalities are all super weird (and a little on the violent side). When Kenji's forced to join their little group, his life quickly takes a turn for the outrageous.
K
From GoHands, the studio that brought you the cyberpunk anime film series Mardock Scramble, and the enigmatic writers' collective GoRA Project comes K, the newest original anime series of 2012. Set in a world where history has taken a slightly different course from the one we're familiar with, K follows the story of a young boy whose life is caught in a psychic war between seven kings. Yashiro Isana, also known as Shiro, is wanted for a crime he has no recollection of committing. He finds himself being hunted by the groups Homura, led by Mikoto Suoh, “The Red King,” and Scepter 4, led by Reisi Munakata, “The Blue King.” While on the run, a young man named Kuroh Yatogami helps him. This fated encounter will change Shiro's life forever.
Vampire Knight
Ten years earlier, a Pureblood vampire, Kaname Kuran, saved Yuki Cross from another vampire's attack. Now, Yuki is a Guardian at Cross Academy, where the Night Class and Day Class students live side by side in relative harmony—despite the fact that the Night Class students are all vampires! Yuki and her partner Zero keep watch over the Day Class and protect the Night Class's secret. With Kaname's help, a peaceful coexistence has been maintained so far, but a looming shadow is about to be cast over their world...
Student Council's Discretion
Ken Sugiaski is the only boy in a student council of made up of popular girls and therefore the only boy able to enter the “sacred sanctuary” of the council's gossip-filled meeting room. What goes on in those closed meetings? No one dares tell the truth!
ANIMAX EXCLUSIVE
SIMULCAST
SELECTOR INFECTED WIXOSS, EPISODE 14
In the popular game WIXOSS, there are special cards called LRIGs that few players know about—cards that possess personalities and wills of their own. Ruko is a teenage girl who just found one of these rare cards. Now, she can use her LRIG to battle in a strange, dark plane of existence. If she wins, her wishes will be granted—but what happens if she loses?
NEW SIMULCAST
FAIRY TAIL, EPISODE 188
Across the Fiore kingdom, wizards join guilds and make their pay by filling magical needs—but one guild has a reputation as the roughest, rowdiest, most dangerous of all: FairyTail! When four young Fairy Tail members unite, their bond is forged by a power found in neither muscle nor magic and grows stronger with every mission. Whatever you do, don't mess with these friends or you'll get a taste of Natsu's flaming fist or Gray's ice hammer, suffer a painful blow from one of Lucy's celestial spirits or catch the edge of Erza's mighty blade! Whether they're stopping demons from devastating the world or wrestling in the mess hall, this mystical team manages to inflict as much damage to their rivals as they do to the surrounding area.

MEKAKU CITY ACTORS – EPISODE 12
Shintaro Kisaragi, a HikiNEET who shut himself inside his room for 2 years, had been living his life normally until he met a cyber-girl named Ene, who appeared in his computer screen when someone anonymously sent him a mysterious e-mail one year ago. One day, Ene messes with Shintaro's PC which causes him to go outside for the first time in two years.
