| 7:08pm | Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei #12 — German 101 | | | | The frequent Engrish is bad enough without throwing German in there too. Impressions: Wow. I’m not sure that they could have pronounced Schrodinger any worse. Shu-rei-do-ing. Aaaaaaanyway, the first segment was on Schrodinger’s cats sorta.

| 11:30pm | 57 Fall Anime -- story, staff, cast, trailer, pic | | | | There are more new shows this fall than in any season over the past few years. But I'm not sure the quality -- or at least the appeal to my taste -- will be that high. I don't see any shows I expect to be as good as the great shows of this past summer season, such as Aoi Hana and Bakemonogatari. But... | | |
| 8:35pm | Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei #11 — Colorful Boredom | | | | At least it had Rin. Impressions: Well, given the Bakemonogatari fiasco this week, I was expecting the worst here, but thankfully, it was more or less about the same as always which, granted, is still about three tiers lower than previous seasons, but at least it’s not in flames yet. It was... | | |

| 8:40am | Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei #10 — Budget! Budget! Budget! | | | | Man, remember when Shaft put effort into their shows?

| 11:32am | Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei - Episode 8 | | | | Following on directly from the last episode of Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei and its discussion of what makes a surprise well, surprising episode eight continues along the same track (after the funniest "story so far" snippet yet) with the concept of the reverse surprise.In other words, isn't it more... | | |
| 8:39pm | Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei - Episode 7 | | | | After quite the absence (with a week of in Japanese airing terms, but longer for us poor English-speaking saps), Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei is back - Although it appears that the pthey calacid and air-headed Oora has been sat at her blood-stained desk the entire time; a suitably hilarious revelation... | | |
| 2:48am | Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei #09 — Emergency Golf | | | | See if you can count the number of Negima! posters in the background of this episode.
