I could [INSERT ACTIVITY] but, I'd rather anime.
Reviews of only the first episodes of an anime or series.
Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend | 12 Episodes |Subbed | Crunchyroll Initial Impression: This is going to be nothing but tropes, but it could be interesting. Maybe. Alright, so it's been a while since I've done a blog post, so excuse me while I brush off my reviewer hat and put it back…

Dance With Devils | 12 Episodes | DUB | VRV Initial Impression: This is going to be interesting. In my experience, first episodes generally go really fast or really slow. Either they throw a bunch of information your way in one fell swoop or you spend circa 20 minutes where nothing -- or everything --…

Restaurant to Another World | 12 Episodes | DUB | VRV Initial Impressions: This anime is going to hit the spot. So, we've actually watched the first two episodes of this anime and it's a bit difficult, to sum up what it's about so far. Part of this is because the focus point is…

Gosick | 24 Episodes | DUB | VRV Initial Impressions: Woah. I was not expected to be this hooked after one episode. This anime took me by surprise. I watched it with the intention of having something to occupy the dead time I have at work sometimes. I watched the first episode and was disappointed…
Kakuriyo | 22 Episodes | DUB | VRV Initial Reaction: I really like this and I'm excited to watch the rest of it. I really like the way this anime started out. There was a bit of backstory without it being boring or droning on about a character we know nothing about yet. The…
Tsukigakirei | 12 Episodes | DUB | VRV Initial Impressions: They are such middle schoolers and they are so shy and awkward and embarrassed and sensitive and… ugh!! It hurts to watch them but they're cute. The first episode was slow. Really slow. But it moves at the pace that middle schoolers move at. The…
My First Girlfriend is a Gal | 10 Episodes | DUB | VRV | **Not For Children** This anime is not for children. It has a lot of foul-mouthed language and the topic is mature. It really isn't for anyone under the age of 16, so fair warning. Initial Reaction: This guy is so…

Recovery of an MMO Junkie | 11 Episodes | DUB | VRV Initial Impression: No. I'm not for this. But... maybe... let's just see where it goes... So, this is not your average first episode post. Mostly because I watched the first 3 episodes, not just the very first one. My impression of it is…
Hyouka| 22 Episodes | DUB | VRV Initial Impressions: This looks like it will be cute and fun to watch. This anime follows the story of a boy whose motto is "If I don't have to do it, I won't and if I have to do it, I will in as little time as possible."…
Violet Evergarden| 13 Episodes | DUB | Netflix Initial Impressions: I want to watch more. It's pretty and the story looks like it will be interesting. Violet Evergarden is a solider. I mean this in both the literal and metaphorical sense. We learn a lot about her nature from the first episode and the most…
