As some of you may have noticed, Itakiss appears to not have aired this week. It normally airs at midnight every Wednesday on CBC. Whatever you see on other sites saying that it’s Friday midnight is incorrect. That’s the TBS one and that is the 2nd airing of the syndication. But whatever it is, it appears that both those channels did not air, thus there won’t be any Itakiss this week. The other three shows should be out as normal.

Oh, a 9th banner, a new one by Richard Omega depicting Nogizaka Haruka + maids has been added. Thank you for your kind contribution.

Update: TBS finally aired Itakiss 17. Work on Itakiss 17 will begin soon.

    dun be a nub! Actually the 17 raw came out TWO weeks ago, and we’re just slow and conspired with the raw providers to release late just so that we can be slow. Oh, oops, shouldn’t have said that

    @nooo : Are you kidding? Itakiss 17 was supposed to air on July 30. But they change the air date to August 2. @_@ (You’re joking, right? Because I know I’m not.)

    hmm, I guess that we will have to wait another week to see how it goes on Itakiss, but hey, this should be some good news for you on m33w, since there will be one show less to do, thus releasing Nogizaka Harublabla in superduperomgwtfisthatrealwowshitinmypants-speed

    Lol. That sounded like something Yuuto in NHNH said.. “who will watch anime at this kind of a time..” Yeah, but I think should be those die-hard fans or those burning midnight-oil? xD Wild Guess.

    “question: why do some anime air at like midnight or later? do ppl still watch em that late?”

    I imagine that most fans in Japan record their favorite programs and watch them at a saner hour of the day. (There’s always going to be a Nogizaka here or there, lol.) As for why anime airs so late in the first place, I’ve heard that it was pushed off to those bad hours traditionally because it was in low demand (<5% national viewership) as compared with other television programs (like some dramas Kimura Takuya which have achieved ratings as high as 40% viewership); but because there was still some demand rather than no demand at all, you could say the television studios were “being nice” to the otaku to provide anime on air at all. As we push farther and farther into the Digital Age, I think it’s just a matter of time before TV air times become a thing of the past and people will be able to pick what they want to watch when they want to watch it provided it’s available. It’s beginning to happen, we’re sort of in a middle-ground, a limbo of sorts. People are already using their TiVo and DVR equipment to record what they want to watch and are watching it later in the day. Everyone’s got a different opinion, but personally I think it’s not a question of if but when the television becomes obsolete and every person on the planet watches what we think of as “TV shows” on their computers and home entertainment systems.

    Ahh i see, thanks tal, that was quite informative. this almost makes me envy the japanese for having such good shows late at night, but then it also kind of sucks cuz you have to stay up late to watch em… unless you have a dvr (which i dont).

  24. thnx XESS for all ur hardwork! do u have an estimate how long till ita 17 release? or is it gonna be released really late like 16?

    No, I don’t. The lateness of the raw spoils my scheduling.

  26. oh i c …well thnx for ur hard work anywayz! if u want i could help out in any way if u want! but i dont know japanese~ i can do timing though!
