Dawnleaf Watches selector infected WIXOSS: Episode 1 – Pronounced “WicRoss”

It was either this or Blade and Soul, and I decided to go for the one where the characters are actually wearing clothes, even if they are a bunch of moe schoolgirls.  And Blade and Soul’s PV makes me think of Ikki Tousen just a little, and thinking of Ikki Tousen gives me an irresistible compulsion to close out of whatever browser window I’m on and cry.

Dawnleaf Watches The World Is Still Beautiful: Episode 1 – Breaking Hiatus Just In Time for SPRING BREAK

You see, the promo art is desperately trying to get guys to watch this, because it’s almost an upskirt shot.

Dawnleaf Watches Unbreakable Machine Doll: Episode 1 – Close Call

Hey, y’all?  Remember Pokémon?  Of course you do, you’re lying if you say that you don’t remember that anime, because you have all seen at least snippets of it.  Well, my best snappy one-sentence summary of Unbreakable Machine Doll is that it’s Pokémon aimed at the teenage male demographic.  Yes, we’ve got those proxy battle and creatures with fun designs, but we’ve also got a developing harem and a fanservice doll.  Literally.

Dawnleaf Watches Coppelion: Episode 1 - Of Magic Skirts and Thick Outlines

For me, one of the hardest parts of blogging like this is when I come across an anime like Coppelion.  Because, well, my reaction to it is very difficult to articulate.   Because me just saying “THEANIMATIONTHEANIMATIONTHEANIMATION” over and over in a post would just be boring, but that’s really how I feel.  So, I guess the easiest place for me to start is trying to describe dat animation.

Dawnleaf Watches Diabolik Lovers: Episode 1 – Let’s Be Friends

Herm… Okay, my opinion on this anime is going to be rather difficult to formulate.  So let’s just start with the technicals, so I can get my thoughts straight.

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.
