Random Musings – The Big Winter Break II Edition

Come this time of year, most anime series take a week or two break (last year was no different). To clear up any lingering schedule uncertainties that you may have, here is a table of what's airing and what's not for shows that I'm currently blogging.
SeriesThis Week (12/25 to 12/31)Next Week (1/1 to 1/7)Following Week (1/8 to 1/14)
Pumpkin ScissorsEpisode 13 on MondayNo EpisodeEpisode 14 on Monday

KanonEpisode 13 on ThursdayEpisode 14 on ThursdayEpisode 15 on Thursday
CODE GEASSNo EpisodeEpisode 12 on ThursdayEpisode 13 on Thursday
Ayakashi AyashiNo EpisodeEpisode 13 on SaturdayEpisode 14 on Saturday

Please make particular note that Negima!? and Bleach will be airing episodes on Thursday, January 4th. They are being preempted from their normal Wednesday spots on January 3rd by an Enka New Year's Special and then the Japan vs. Mexico Boxing Grand Prix. Unfortunately, this means that that particular Thursday will be completely hellish for me since it'll be four shows on one day (maybe even five if I end up watching Saint October). And on that note, you can probably expect the Winter 2007 Shows Preview to go up sometime later this week.

abingdon boys school – INNOCENT SORROW PV (D.Gray-man OP)

The opening song to D.Gray-man is INNOCENT SORROW by abingdon boys school. For those of you who don't know, a.b.s. was formed last year by Nishikawa Takanori (aka. T.M.Revolution) and people he's worked with (SUNAO, Shibasaki Hiroshi, Kishi Toshiyuki). And yes, the Abingdon School does actually exist. INNOCENT SORROW is actually the band's debut single, although they have recorded a few songs previously (including stay away on the LOVE for NANA album that I love).

D.Gray-man – 06

Summary: Allen is returning to Black Order headquarters with Innocence in hand, but his mind dwells on questions about why it fused with Lala, why he was born with that hand, and why the Innocence chose him.
