Winter 08-09 anime first eps - Japan TV Ratings?

It’s very early in the morning (Currently the time in the above pic in Japan…) but I’m waiting for Maria Holic 7 to upload…so thought I might as well do this while it uploads itself. Surprisingly, or maybe not so surprisingly because of the primetime evening slot (6.25pm on Saturday), Kemono no Souja Erin makes the highest debut at 3.8%, beating the new Hajime no Ippo (which still managed to hit 2.8% despite airing at 2am-ish on Wednesday), as well as Minami Ke Okaeri (2.5%, 4am Monday). Zoku Natsume Yuujinchou (2.4%), Asu no Yoichi (2.3%), and Sora wo Kakeru Shoujo (2.1%) nabbed three consecutive spots. Read on for the whole list of ratings. (Source here, with thanks to the people maintaining a list of ratings over at Animesuki forums for the link to that site.)
Oh, also, if you’re interested in the days/times the anime air, as well as a countdown to the next eps, do visit my winter 08-09 anime lineup countdown page. Not updating it tonight, but will do tomorrow. It still needs some kink-ironing…keep forgetting to make the base href _blank.

Somehow I feel like they missed some…where’s Maria Holic, for one?! Viper’s Creed? Shika Kuro? (Which is in a good morning spot, albeit on Thursdays..) Kurokami? (Maybe only US people like this one. XD) That said, I’m not even sure whether the source is reliable for bits aside from the first ten.
