Note: All times are given in a 24 hour format, using what I call relative day time where times are extended to show which day they belong to. For instance, Friday morning at 1:30AM would become Thurday at 25:30 to show that the episode aired late Thursday night. Also, please notice that I’ve adjusted all the times for Daylight Saving. Meaning the EST times won’t be correct until that goes into effect on October 30.

A brief run-down on my choice of shows:

Jigoku Shoujo – Not really sure about this series, but it seems rather dark. Since Bleach is in the mornings, I’m giving this a try almost purely on the fact that it airs later Tuesday.

Shakugan no Shana – If only the art of this series looked like the front page of the website…Another show I’m just sampling to see if I like it or not. The book covers seem to suggest a lot of girls with swords.

Karin – The title character is a reverse vampire: she expells blood instead of sucking it. In the event that she can’t find someone to stick her blood in, she nosebleeds and hilarity ensues. I enjoyed reading the manga, so I’m looking forward to this.

Paradise Kiss – Yay! Yazawa Ai has recently become one of my favorite mangaka, and I just finished reading ParaKiss a week ago, so I’m very much anticipating this series. Paradise Kiss is the story of a Yukari, a high school student who’s unsure about the direction of her future. She meets a group of students who have a clothing brand named Paradise Kiss, and her life changing adventures begin…
