These are just some of the least interesting anime announcements made as of late, and since dedicating full-blown reports for each of them would be nothing short of madness, a simple list will have to suffice.

- Beyblade - some pointless kiddy anime, rescheduled for April 2009.

- Koisuru Otome to Shugo no Tate - an erroneously reported anime adaptation of AXL's eroge from 2007, which turned out to be nothing more than a "misprint". So nothing to see here, move along...

- Kurokami (Black God) - finally gets a TV debut timeframe: January 2009 (website).

- Maria Holic - just a revamped website, TV debut still set for January 2009.

- Minami-ke Okaeri - the third Minami-ke anime series will also start airing in Japan from January 2009 (website).

- Shikabane Hime: Kuro - according to the new website opened by studio StarChild, that's one more anime (sequel) lined up for January 2009.

- Slayers Evolution-R - the follow-up to Slayers Revolution is yet another anime set to begin in January 2009 (website).

- The 3-Mei-sama: Anime wa Anime de Arissho! - based on the "Three Young-Men in Midnight" gag manga, about 3 loser friends and their random late-night conversations at a family diner restaurant. The manga already has a live-action adaptation, and that's where the OVA will borrow its director and (voice) actors from. Begins in February 2009.

- The Tale of Genji: A Millennium-Old Journal (Genji Monogatari Sennenki) - will not be based on the Asakiyumemishi manga, as originally planned. Instead, the new Genji anime will be a more direct interpretation of the original novel, to celebrate its 1000-year anniversary. Begins in January 2009 (website).
