Evangelion 2.0 makes an appearance over the Irish Sea, Bleach has a half-season set of nonstop fighting, and Piccadilly's overrun with Pickachus in this week's Mangazette. Don't say we don't look after you…

Our new series hits stores today, and we're here with the heads-up on Katsura Hoshino's D.Gray-Man. Also a tip-off on two cartoons that are not strictly-speaking anime, but still might tickle your pickle, particularly if you are into demons, giant robots, or stuff blowing up.

This week, we've got the winners of our Ponyo competition, and the skinny on two new releases on the Nintendo DS with strong connections to the worlds of manga and anime. How do we pack it all in? Magic.

With Dante's Inferno burning its way up the video charts, we've got the final part of our Listo Inferno rundown of the studios that took part. Lucky audience members at last week's London premiere went away with Manga goodie bags, copies of the game and some snazzy T-shirts courtesy of our friends at Sci Fi London. This week we've got a reboot on Death Note and a big bunch of Blue Dragons - we just keep it coming.

With Hayao Miyazaki's long-awaited new movie Ponyo hitting British cinemas on 12th February, we can't help mentioning that Manga Entertainment has a couple of his early classics for sale.

Not only that, but we have the opportunity for you to win a set of five Ponyo books, for free!.

And we're back with the anime you could ever need. We've also got this week instalment of the Listo Inferno, as we take a look at the major studios involved en the forthcoming Dante's Inferno animated film.
