Dawnleaf Watches Wolf Girl and Black Prince: Episodes 1-2 – Don't watch this

So, I figured that this might be like your typical shoujo, but with some teeth (which shoujo needs, so I watched it willingly).  It certainly is that, but it’s also quite unpleasant to watch. 

Dawnleaf Watches Makai Ouji: Devils and Realist: Episode 2 – MAGICAL GIRL TRANSFORMATION SEQUENCE

I definitely see that this anime’s trying for some of that Black Butler camp.  However, no one will ever be as fabulous as Grell.  It made me snigger like a fifth grader, though.  I mean, about halfway through the episode, there’s an honest-to-goodness transformation sequence, with the declaration of title, silly clothes, and rainbow background.  It was positively glorious.

Dawnleaf Watches Sunday Without God: Episode 2 – Do Gravekeepers Dream of Zombie Sheep?

Please forgive me for my two week hiatus.  I was on vacation, and I figured that I really needed a break from this whole Vampire Knight business, anyway.   All right, on to the anime Sunday Without God, which doesn’t have vampires in it but does have a white-haired pretty-boy with a gun and undeads degenerating into animalistic creatures who run on instinct.  Aaaargh…

Dawnleaf Watches Vampire Knight: Episode 2 – Brooding Sexily In the Bathroom

So, we’ve learned for certain the matters concerning Zero.  When he’s not being busy leading the rebellion against Brittania- whoops, wrong Zero.  The reasons our Zero equally spends his time being a dick, brooding sexily in the moonlight, and acting tsuntsun towards Yuuki are because he’s a dick, because he’s actually in the process of turning into a vampire even though he hates vampires because they killed his family and he can only resist becoming a vampire through sheer willpower and it hurts, and because he wants to suck out her body fluids, respectively.

Dawnleaf Watches WATAMOTE ~No Matter How I Look at It, It's You Guys Fault I'm Not Popular!~: Episode 2 – First Base

Oh, I see what you’re doing here.  I’m taking this as a challenge!

Dawnleaf Watches il sole penetra le illusioni ~ Day Break Illusion: Episode 2 – The Morning After

This is going to be like Dog & Scissors, isn’t it?  Not bad enough to drop, but nothing amazing.  

Episode 2 was devoted to explaining the world.  Basically, what the magical girls fight are Daemonia, which are demons that humans with darkness in their hearts (or something like that) contract with.  The Daemonia claim to grant a wish of theirs’, and, in return, after it’s granted, the human/Daemonia combo go on a killing rampage. 

Dawnleaf Watches Dog & Scissors: Episode 2 – An Announcement

As I am now starting watching the second round of episodes this season, I would like to explain how I’m going to do this.

These next posts are probably going to be shorter than my first impressions posts (unless I have a lot to say).  I’ll only be posting about an episode if I either decided to drop the anime because of it or because I have something to say about it or because I have some sort of hilarious screenshot.  So, I may not cover an anime if I don’t have a whole lot to say about it, so you won’t see a post for it.  That doesn’t mean I dropped it, though, I will post if I dropped something.

However, you’ll still see first impression posts from me, as there’s still a depressingly large amount of stuff I haven’t even touched yet.

Dawnleaf Watches Brothers Conflict: Episodes 1-3: The Fact That I’m Trapped in a Squirrel’s Body Has Left Me in Despair!

This anime has a talking squirrel voiced by Hiroshi Kamiya in it.  For those of you who don’t know who that is, he is both Ararararagi of Bakemonogatari fame and the crazy teacher from Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei.   And he sounds basically the same as he did in those, except his voice is higher.  It’s a bit of a trip to listen to, really.
