Buy our toys! Impressions: This episode took a bit of a turn. So much so that I doubted my sanity and had to go back and check the official site… and then check the Wayback Machine for what the site was two weeks ago and confirmed that I’m not crazy, and it WAS advertising itself …
The Vexations of a Shut-In Vampire Princess Review — B+

But …

What makes it feel so unique I think is how it’s an international collaboration. It’s animated by Science Saru (heavily influence by the original comic …
