| 10:47am | Zero no Tsukaima - Princess no Rondo 1: Seal of the Familiar |  | | | Tanabata was shit, but I did pay my respects, hanged my “wishes” (which would never be fulfilled since wishing for a real, full-sized Gundam ain’t possible), then went to sleep for a whole 16 hours.

| 4:55am | Baccano- 16 (DVD only episode)-END |  | | | Is it really the end? Is there even such a thing as end of story in Baccano anyway?
