I just needed someone for Isolda to suck blood from and since I am a huge fan of animal-eared characters…and maid outfits...

Mmm…writing Isolda may be tougher than I expected. Definitely need to get used to writing her.

Isolda Grace, The First Day of Month 1, Year 1 of Rebirth. Morning Isolda groaned in annoyance as candle light began to illuminate her sleeping quarters and woke her up. A small warmth had begun to permeate the chilled room as small flames were being lit all over the room one-by-one. The blonde turned in her elegant bed as she tried to pull the covers further and further over her head. She had just wanted to sleep a bit longer. Just a bit longer. However, as much as she longed for it, sleeping further would not be a possibility. As her consciousness was solidifying, a sharp pain pierced through her brain, pulling her mind out of slumber in an instant. The blonde quickly shot up into a sitting position while clutching at her head. However, the moment she clutched her head, the pain started to slowly subside. "The withdrawal is getting worse..." This had definitely been one of the worst cases. She had abstained from drinking the blood of others for quite a long time but the pain caused by the withdrawal was starting to become far too much to bear. She was at a threshold as she knew her reasoning capabilities were going to completely wither away within the next twenty-four hours. There was definitely no reason to abstain any further. "Lady Grace, are you feeling alright?" The maid illuminating the room spoke. She was a beast person with short brown hair, black eyes, freckles and floppy dog ears who was definitely taller than Isolda by at least a foot. She seemed so…innocent. "You need not worry about me, Lina." Isolda gave zero hint of being in pain. She simply pivoted, let her feet touch the floor, and got off the bed. As her nightgown fell down, she flipped her hair and allowed it to fan out before descending to her lower back. It would be highly unbecoming of a Shinso, even a false one like her, to show a moment of weakness to someone beneath her. Luckily, it seemed that Lina had bought into the prideful facade and went to work setting the last candle. With that, the maid turned back to Isolda who she saw staring at her own open hand. "I believe that should be all. Is there anything else you might need before I head out?" Isolda needed blood. She needed to consume blood or else she would lose her sanity and transform into a demon without reason. She absolutely needed blood. As her mind hit on the word blood, she realized something. Her mouth curved into a smile as she looked towards Lina. She walked to Lina, her bare feet slowly making their way to in front of the maid. As the Shinso in a nightgown finally stood in front of the maid, she reached her right hand to caress the maid's cheek. "Actually, there is something you could do for me." Her other hand stroked the carotid artery area on Lina's neck. "Huh?" The maid responded in near confusion. "Don't worry. It will be nearly painless. In fact, you might actually enjoy it." Ten minutes later, the maid was lying on the bed with the right shoulder of her maid uniform down. On her neck were small holes, made by two fangs, with small trickles of blood leaking out from them. On her face was a look of ecstasy as she was panting and sweating heavily. "See, that was not that bad…though, I guess the anemia may be a problem." Isolda said while wiping her lips. The pain had definitely subsided. She had staved off the possibility of going berserk again. She looked back with a haughty grin to the maid. "Feel free to go back to work whenever you no longer feel tired. The other maids will understand."

So with the locking of the 'Anything Anime' thread, I realized that we have no place if we want to share/discuss animu news as it used to be the catchall thread for everything. So, I made this thread specifically for that. Announcement for a TV animu, movie, or OVA that does not fit within the seasonal anime block within the pinned thread section? Put it here and feel free to discuss

Yeah, I have. I was watching them when they aired so don't worry. I understand…to a certain extent…what's going on.

Well, seeing as we are a week into the season, I think I shall give my first impressions for the season. New Series: Koukaku no Pandora: Ghost Urn- Honestly, this one's pretty fun. It's got a nice sense of whimsy and knows how to not take itself seriously and just have fun. This is definitely a good one if you just want a ride of pure fun and whimsy. Oh, and Clarion is best girl. Dagashi Kashi- Another one that just knows how to have fun. The characters are nice and quirky and it creates an fun little premise which it just rolls with. Though, since it does center around a rural candy shop, I do wonder how far this series can go before it starts to get stale. I guess as long as it can keep the character dynamics going while keeping the humor fresh, it should be just fine. (Now the question is, are you with #TeamHotaru or #TeamSaya?) Durarara!!x2 Ketsu- A dullahan, some doctor with a gas mask, a crazy couple…Okay, I can't go on with this. First episode was just a demonstration of just how crazy everyone in this series is. With the exception of Togusa and Egor, there is not a single person in this episode who I would consider sane. I want to see tensions finally boil over. Let's see that happen soon, 'kay? Luck and Logic- This first episode reminded me so much of Bleach's first episode and that's a good thing. While the MC seems to be OP, I like the fact that he's a veteran returning to battle and I like the fact that his powers are more defense oriented. The latter is something I rarely see and honestly, I definitely want to see where this goes. Dimension W- That dance scene in the OP. I want to learn it. All jokes aside, this gives a nice Darker than Black vibe (though that could just be because of Kyouma's weapon of choice). As much as the concept of the 4th spatial dimension kinda irks me, it's at a level where my suspension of disbelief is satisfactory. Plus, I quite enjoy Kyouma as an MC. So, this is definitely well worth the watch. Hai to Gensou to Grimgar- This one is visually a treat. It gives off such a nice vibe and has the protagonist squad starting at what is essentially Level 1. It has a lot of opportunity for character growth considering that the characters are all amnesiacs lost in an unfamiliar fantasy world. The episode also is nice and slow and doesn't feel like it's cramming everything in. Mahou Shoujo Nante Mou Ii Desukara- A 4 minute episode animu that is fairly self-aware and is having fun with the modern magical girl anime. Seems like kinda hit-and-miss. Ooyasama wa Shishunki- A 2 minute episode animu about a guy who moves into an apartment complex with a middle schooler for a landlord. It seems to put a lot of weight into its cuteness more than anything else but seems to be kinda hit-and-miss as well. Ao no Kanata no Four Rhythm-I like it. The Flying Circus idea feels nice and dynamic without some crazy over the top fighting added in. The tone of the episode just gives this nice and lazy feel like floating in the sky. Plus, I quite enjoy the MC and just feel like rooting for her when I watch it. Though, I'm the opposite of Dobby. I could never get into Air Gear but I honestly love this. Meh. Carry-overs from Previous Seasons: Heavy Object-Qwenser's and Heivia's wild ride continues. With a brand new OP to pump the blood, their quest to blow up mechs and walk away without looking at the 'splosions like true badasses continues. Honestly, I can't wait for the finale so I can finally start reading the novels where the anime leaves off, which will likely be the end of Volume 3 of the novels given the pacing. Yu-gi-oh! Arc-V: I'm the only person here watching this but whatever. The Synchro Dimension arc is finally picking up and the invasion is starting. Let the hype begin as absolute chaos breaks out.

Ibuki>Mikan Anyways, Welcome~ I would say please leave your sanity at the door but you seem to have already done that.

Kage vs Mie The Aron had plowed straight through the Hex. There was not enough time for either of them to react. The Aron was way too close for evasion, protection, or even rolling away. As such, the gleaming forelimbs mercilessly slammed into the Snorunt. The Pokemon was immediately knocked back, rolling on its side until it stopped. It was clear that it was no longer in the condition to battle. Mie immediately ran to the Snorunt who was lying on it side, kneeled over and picked it up. "Are you alright, Yukiko?" The Snorunt grunted back, trying to comfort its trainer despite it still being physically hurt. "You did fine, Yukiko. Just rest for now." She said, pulling out its Pokeball and returning it into the ball.

8/10 again~

4/10 Nice Sprite…but not really a fan of sprite avatars...

Dammit…and I just finished...*tilts head* Kinda annoys me off that sign-ups were closed only a few minutes before I finished... Oh well...

Back to Mokou again, I see. 10/10

Agghh…still gonna submit mine anyway when I finish it…(depending on how much time my lab work takes). Once I submit mine, she'll be the second female in the group of potential PCs.

Ahh, one more question. Should the background and the "Why a Pokemon Trainer?" sections be written in third or first person? Sudden flashbacks to medical school application and interviews. Why Medicine?

Umm…just checking….but the color and food entries of the application sheet are referring to our character's, right?

8/10 *scowls*
