| 8:48am | Shikabane Hime Kuro - 02 | | | | Thoughts: Shichisei makes their move against Makina and Oori. Overall Rating: 9 This episode had much more plot development than the previous one.

| 4:56am | Weekly Anime Review (Jan 5 – Jan 11) | | | | A very light week of anime this week for me. I pushed my watching of many of the new winter shows into the current week so I could try to finish a few lingering shows of 2008 I wanted to get too before 2009 started. I was only partially successful, Shigofumi got watched finally but I still want to get... | | |

| 8:10am | Shikabane Hime: Aka ep. 12 |  | | | [ Episode 12: Dawn ] I wonder where Makina gets all of her uniforms from? With this episode, Keisei has passed away and transferred his contract with Makina to Oori. It was a pretty sad event but at least he went out with a bang and had no attachments left in the world. Gotta give it to the guy for... | | |

| 6:45am | Anime Inbou Awards 2008, pt. 3 ~ music | | | | Third round and this time, it’s all about the music. You can have anime with voices, but once you cue the music at the right time, you get some pretty amazing results. Kudos to all the composers and arrangers, and the vocalists for all their hard work!

| 5:15am | Shikabane Hime: Aka ep. 11 | | | | [ Episode 11: One Night ] Never walk around with sharp objects in the middle of the night while drunk. Damn.
