Hiya. Time for exactly what you expected.
The first first look!
..That came out strangely.

Today's anime is Utawarerumono: The False Faces. From what I've heard, it is based on a game. It sounded good, and definitely has lived up to my expectations from what I've seen.
It started with a man—some man, he seems to be in scrubs—walking through the snow, in the forest. (Innocent, I guess. The anime will start slow...)
When suddenly
WHAM!
BAM!
Monsters
(Action! Hurrah! Part of the dual-pronged Anime Success Plan)
Running, chasing, oh god, how will he ever escape?!

BAM. HOLE EX MACHINA.

And when you thought that was it, BAM, more monsters.

So this... "Curse," they call it, says to the (amnesiac) protagonist "Umakeko."
What I think, is that this Curse could be an—as an idea—a link to real life. Umakeko being a comatose man, somewhere in a Japanese hospital, dreaming of an empty, snowy forest.
Doctors hook up equipment, and begin any treatments for the possible injury-related cause to his condition; pain, fear, a monster in a dream, eh? As soon as he's in a stable, regulated condition, perhaps a friend comes up to his shell. Concernedly, he says Umakeko's name...
But I am getting carried away (although I do think the Curse could be a blessing in disguise). A girl comes, Kuon.
"Don't worry about that... They'll almost never attack you" Kuon says. How nice, a knowledgeable person for this world?
Although, not a girl... Not just a girl... A...

It's true, you know.

A CATGIRL?!
This anime has executed the Dual-Pronged Anime Success Plan flawlessly.
So much good stuff. This anime is fit to be just pervy enough, its plot seems interesting, it has the action-catgirl megacombo, I love it.
But it's not over yet! There's more to the episode!
But I need you to watch this. It'd better get you hooked.
So, then, here is the link on Crunchyroll.
And here is the link on Kissanime.
