Episode 01 – True Ace
-L O V E D I T- This is probably the first sports anime I’ve ever watched! And it was awesome! The art style was totally scrummy! The characters (in terms of looks) reminded me of ‘Honey and Clover’ X ‘Lovely Complex’ = adorable!!!! It was funny and just ever so addictive – I wanna watch more!! I didn’t expect to fall so badly for this one, I’m not a fan of sports, especially baseball! 
But I can’t recommend this episode enough!! Go watch it now! (If you haven’t already 
Pros - Hmm.. Everything??
Cons - None yet!
Episode Score - 9/10
I can’t put any screenshots up just yet as I’m being forced off the PC >:O But they will be added asap. Cos everyone needs to see the characters cute smily faces! >.<

Episode 01 – A Wolf and One’s Best Clothes
I had average hopes for this anime. I wasn’t expecting anything awesome or un-watchable. And and I thought Spice and Wolf was just average. I do think though, that there is scope for this to get pretty good! One thing that will not change I suppose is the boring character designs.. I didn’t like them :/ And Horo spent way too much time with no clothes on flashing all in-front of Lawrence who didn’t seem all that bothered! Oh yeah and then there is the matter of Lawrence – hes lame in all aspects. But the episode did have a sort of Fairytale feel to it which was nice, but it lacked the magic of say ‘Mahou Shoujo Tai Alice’. Overall the episode was easily watchable just nothing special, yet?
Pros - Fairytale feel to it
Cons - Character design
Episode Score - 7/10

Episode 01 – Eternal Light
Wow its ages since I reviewed anything! Life away from the computer is very hectic at the moment! Anyway this is the first of 3 First Impressions reviews for today. No screenshots for now, PutFile has decided it doesn’t like me at the moment so I’m trying my photobucket account but that has never liked me >.>
So there I was quietly hoping that Dazzle would be worth watching.. Sadly its isn’t.. Yup this anime sucks BIG time! I couldn’t even stand to put myself through the torture of watching the whole episode, I gave up about halfway through :/ This was easily the most boring and un-original bit of anime I’ve watched for a while! The character designs were not brilliant in the looks department and their personality’s were the lowest of the low! Not to mention the horrific story! I recommend that everyone AVOIDS watching this one!!!!
Pros - Can’t think of any!!!
Cons - Erm.. EVERYTHING!
Episode Score - 2/10 Was going to be 0 but I guess some younger children may enjoy it?
Ah Photobucket is working for me now so I’ll add screenshots :3
