「First Impressions」Akuma no Riddle

Wait what? Say what now? Akuma no Riddle hits the Anime screen folks!!

     The world is fulfilled by _ _ _ _ _

Akuma no Riddle started of in the Newtype magazine with the September 2012 issue and is written by Kouga Yun and illustrated by Minakata Sunao. You like action and yuri? Well you're probably looking at the right series!

Ichinose Haru is a student at a private girls' boarding school, Myōjō Academy, who is being targeted by 12 assassins disguised as students. Azuma Tokaku is a transfer student and an assassin who also initially targets Haru, but eventually develops feelings for her and decides to protect her from the other assassins.

The episode starts off with a small portrayal of the main protagonist, showing her epic awesomeness in the first few scenes of the Anime. Then there's the oh so lovable man behind the scenes! You got to love Dickface -voiced by Sugita Tomokazu-!

Tokaku -voiced by Suwa Ayaka- is a trained assassin and enters a classroom to deal with a target Haru -voiced by Kanemoto Hisako-. The rest of the classroom? Filled with nothing but female assassins. Their goal? Deal with the target...

The first episode serves as an introduction to the cast and gives us small hints here and there about character traits and psychologies. Crazies everywhere I tell you! Never will mess with a female assassin... It brings an all new kick to the saying "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned".

Dark scenes here and there and it puts an emphasis on forgetting about the normalf@gs. I apologize since that's not a term I can actually use to describe the normal folks here. I just love using it to describe the non important... =3...

Honestly I don't want to say much since I would be spoiling and what not... A lot actually. The Manga only being about 2 volumes doesn't really help either since it's still ongoing -really slowly might I add-...

All I'm going to say about this though is: if you're looking into an Anime with legendary female characters and some yuri-tastic pairings along with psychological and just plain badasserie, give this a shot! I personally enjoyed it and I can't wait to see things move forward... Hopefully I don't get disappointed since that happens quite a lot...
