Crunchyroll stream Black Bullet and The Comic Artist and Assistants to the UK

Another day has brought us another pair of Crunchyroll simulcasts, both of which are coming to the UK!  Here are the latest additions to the line-up:

- The Comic Artist and Assistants - Ever since Bakuman, we've been hungry for more tales of manga artists, so is this what we've been waiting for?  Probably not, for this series from ZEXCS is the adaptation of a harem comedy manga with no shortage of fan service, telling as it does the story of a manga artist who relies entirely too heavily on his assistant to understand and capture every aspect of the characters he draws.

The first episode of the series is airing right now, with new instalments arriving every Monday at 8:05PM UK time at this Crunchyroll page.

- Black Bullet - This science-fiction manga series gets an anime outing for the spring courtesy of Kinema Citrus.  The series is set in the aftermath of the year 2021, with the planet's population decimated by a parasitic virus known as Gastrea which has forced humanity to live in monoliths that keep them safe.  However, a new generation of girls has been born with the ability to control this virus, and thus it is they who are tasked, in conjunction with "Promoters" who serve them, to fight back against the Gastrea.

The series begins today, Tuesday April 8th, with episodes ariving each Tuesday at 7:30PM at this Crunchyroll page.
