| 11:11pm | Shikabane Hime: Kuro - Episode 5 | | | | After looking worryingly as though it might be losing its way somewhat, the last episode of Shikabane Hime: Kuro at least left us with a suitably surprising ending, with Keisei popping up to say hello to Makina. But is it the real, live Keisei? Is it a corpse Keisei? Is it Keisei at all?Before we... | | |
| 12:47pm | Shikabane Hime - 19 | | | | Short Synopsis: Ouri vs. Keisei & Keisei & Keisei & Keisei & etc. Episode Rating: 8/10 (Excellent) I’m really glad that my fears that the extra shounen roots would ruin the second season proved to be unnecessary, because the creators have found more than enough inspiration... | | |

| 6:27pm | Shikabane Hime: Kuro - Episode 4 | | | | After Makina's attack on Ouri in the last episode, Shikabane Hime: Kuro the main story arc takes something of a back seat this time around as we delve into the relationship between Takamasa and Itsuki.In pretty much every sense this is the typical story of the Shikabane Hime - After being teamed up with... | | |
| 3:34pm | January Summary | | | | It’s definitely been an interesting Winter-season so far. I know that I’ve ranted pretty often about the lack of new concepts this series, but when you look at the big picture, then this is promising to become an excellent season. There are many quality sequels airing right now, and especially... | | |

| 9:12pm | Kabitzin’s January 2009 List |  | | | I finally finished up Shikabane Hime: Aka, but I haven’t yet gotten to SH: Kuro like I wanted to.

| 4:12pm | Winter '09 First Impressions | | | | Not a bad season at all, a couple of interesting shows continued[1][2], SHAFT returned with a satire, MADHOUSE with action & plot and then we also got Regios.

| 8:45pm | Shikabane Hime: Aka Review |  | | | When I first started Shikabane Hime, I was hit with a bit of information overload. This is a trend that continues through the whole series, but as the mystery started to deepen, I realized that the information was setting up a complex set of alliances. Although the series is ostensibly about cute... | | |
