Anime Network Online stream Norn9, Girls Beyond the Wasteland, Undefeated Bahamut Chronicle to the UK

It's been a long time since we last legitimately considered Sentai Filmwork's Anime Network Online service as a place to stream anime here in the UK, but this season has brought us the prospect of three winter season simulcasts that might be appearing exclusively on this service - at least, they're yet to be announced by Crunchyroll if they are likely to appear elsewhere.

So, if you want to broaden your horizons and stream anime somewhere new this winter (and are willing to put some money down for the privilege of doing so), here's what you can catch on the service:

Norn9 - Kinema Citrus try their hand at this PSP otome game adaptation, which sees a boy from the past warped through time into the far-flung future and an unimaginable adventure.

Episode one of the series is available now, with future instalments arriving every Thursday at 4:30PM UK time from this page.

Girls Beyond the Wasteland - With its romantic visual novel landing in Japan in a few months, Shoujo-tachi wa Kouya wo Mezasu (to use its Japanese title) kicks off its publicity drive with an anime adaptation courtesy of Project No. 9. The core of its tale revolves around a boy who doesn't know what to do with his life, and somehow ends up being roped into the world of bishoujo game development by a female friend.

Again, episode one is available right now, with future instalments arriving every Thursday at 5:30PM UK time at this page.

Undefeated Bahamut Chronicle - This fantasy action light novel adaptation handled by Lerche. Its story involves a former prince who finds himself attending a girls-only academy as a trainer to teach royalty how to ride the mechanical machines known as Drag-Ride which exist within the world.

Episode one of the series airs today, Monday 11th January, with episodes arriving every week at 5:30PM UK time at this page.
