| 6:32pm | Shikabane Hime: Aka 12 | | | | Summary: Rika, Sougen, Saki, and Kamika get caught in a weak crow Jinchi as Hazama and his buddy try to bog down reinforcements.

| 5:10am | Weekly Anime Review (Jan 12 – Jan 18) | | | | If last week had been a light week of anime, this week was the opposite – as you can see below. And I didn’t include my marathoning of Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei and the first two episodes of OVA over a two day period. I decided it was the last of the 2008 shows that I wanted to get to before... | | |

| 12:00pm | Winter Anime Impressions – Shikabane Hime: Kuro | | | | The second season of Shikabane Hime started the week after the first season ended with a different set of animators, much like the second season of Minami-ke.

| 7:00am | Shikabane Hime: Aka ep. 13 [END] + Review |  | | | [ Episode 13: Funeral for a Contracted Priest ] I want my own Shikabane Hime too! Normally, flashback episodes can be annoying. This episode pretty much revolved around flashbacks. However, they were used more effectively than usual. Through them, Oori (and myself) learned a bit more about the entire... | | |
| 9:33pm | Maria+Holic OP: SHAFT fapping Goodness (in HD) |  | | | Must resist.urge to Photoshop.words out Some OP’s are so good that makes you watch it over and over again.

| 11:28pm | Shikabane Hime: Kuro - Episode 2 | | | | The first episode of Shikabane Hime: Kuro ended with Ouri and Makina reuniting, but not too far into this episode it begins to look like a decidedly brief reuinion.For starters, Makina is none too happy with Ouri's dedication to continue as her Contracted Priest, with her feelings clearly somewhere between... | | |
| 6:43pm | Shikabane Hime - 16 | | | | Short Synopsis: Ouri continues with his training to not die. Overall Enjoyment Value: 7/10 (Enjoyable) The fanservice. wtf This series was supposed to be subtle. What the heck is up with the new ED?
