「完全なる乙女」 (Kanzen'naru Otome) "Perfect Virgin"

There's potential here for an impressive historical action filled with war, witches, dragons, and sex jokes.

「百聞は一見に如かず」 (Hyakubun wa Ikken ni Shika Zu) "A Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words"

「カナミ、ゴー！イースト！」 (Kanami, Gou! Iisuto!)
"Kanami, Go East!"

There were interesting parts, but mostly it's an episode full of Kanami-related infodumps that fails to flesh out any of the characters, save Kanami herself.

「世界は真っ暗闇」 (Sekai wa Makkura Yami) "The World is in Total Darkness"

This is one that's going under everyone's radar, but seriously, you should all watch this right now. It's ambitious, emotional, and funny just when it wants to be. I'd even go as far as to say this was the best first episode of the entire season.
