Best episode so far in my opinion, loved every second of it and Yu is growing so much as a character plus Shinoa thanking him at the end was really nice, she is so open and honest.

This episode was so good. The fight with the vampires at the beginning pretty awesome when Yuu rescued Mitsu.

LOL at the car scene. When Yuu drove the car against the pylon. But the best was when Shinoa sat behind the wheel. When Yuu and Shiho began to laugh and making fun about Shinoa and her reaction sooooo good :D

And then this noble vampire was so strong Oo
Yuu also rescued Shinoa, but I think it was good that the vampire had to go.
And Shinoas Aregatou to Yuu was really cute, maybe it's the beginning of something? :D <3

I lmao'd so hard at the scene with Yuuichi driving off with the jeep. Legit, that's the most I've laughed in a fair while. That deserved a replay.

Yuu saving Shinoa was also really epic and cool.

Aside from that, the rest of the episode irritated me. The constant bickering between Yuuichi and Kimizuki is as cliche and shouney as it gets; I cringed when Kimizuki told Yuu "you're almost as good as me" then Yuu goes over and tries to start a fight with him in traditional shounen flair. On top of that, the vampire slaying happens off screen? What the fuck?

Yet somehow I found the two first moments I mentioned so good that it overwhelmed the bitter feeling of the last two and ended up enjoying the episode anyway.

Well, at least Yuu isn't just all talk. He can actually fight.

Oh so the "transformation" was just a greater utilization of the demon's power. Yuu's been doing the bulk of the fighting and killing from what we've been shown so I'm curious as to how exactly Shiho and Yoichi fare in battle on an individual level against a typical vampire. That curiosity would have been satiated if they had decided to actually show a particular battle. How do we know that Yuu wasn't the one to kill most if not all of them lol.

It was adorable to see Shinoa act humble and heartfelt toward Yuu in the manner that she did.

Slow ass vampire can't kill the livestock that he's holding.

Looks like that little girl is joining Yuu's harem.

I had to laugh at the music in the car. Of course Yuu would do some dumb shit and crash into the pole. AT least it's not a telephone pole this time.

Almost saw vampire pantsu. So close. They were cute and had nice oppai.

Time to enter Wall Shinjuku.

The usual issues remain, but this episode was competent by the show's own standards, so I'm kind of satisfied. There were no dull moments.

I felt pretty cheated when the conclusion of battle in the underground location was completely skipped over. "We can do this!" "Yay, we did it!" It was almost comedic, in a way.

It's annoying that after Mitsuba had her little moment with Yuu after he saved her, she flat-out said "I still hate you." Maybe it's too much to ask the writers or the mangaka to at least exhibit a little more creativity, if they can't let Mitsuba develop past her defining archetype. That scene wasn't cheesy (which would be fine), just really really stupid.

I liked the scene where the three vampires totally humiliated them. Credit where it's due: Yuu has finally run into a wall, and he's not invincible. He actually showed some signs that he might be growing as a person, as by the end of the episode, he was the first to suggest taking a French leave. And I gotta give Shinoa even more props for being graceful enough to thank Yuu for saving her butt.

Yuu and the car. Possibly the best scene the entire show? I'm being totally serious. "Smol Shinoa" comes pretty close, though

The fights were over way too quickly for my liking. Wish they'd shown some more vampire slaughter before going to the refugees.

Half of this episode was a segway into making Mitsuba fall for Yuu. Oh, just when it couldn't get any worse... She's this animes Tsundere... Generic.

I was wondering why only Yu had the demon mark show up. I guess the others just hadn't felt the need to use that power yet.

That vamp that patted Yu on the back. Wow. Really shows the disparity in levels.

Ferid, eh? Yu and Mika are close to having their reunion.

I was right about the girl setting on a trap it was still cool though, the predictability of it and all aside. But the best things was Yuu freaking out about car and driving. That was adorable.

Awesome episode, I liked how it the characters had some time to be goofballs with each other before shit started going down, gives them some growth together as a group of friends.

Omg please don't make Mitsuba a dumb love traingle tsundere, this isn't the anime for that.

I really want to see Guren in action. Also Shinoa was pretty weak there.

Why'd that underground vampire fight happen offscreen? Why did Yuu think there was some "power difference" he couldn't compete with when the vampires didn't even scratch them and he successfully disarmed one of them? The noble guy did absolutely nothing and then they sit there wallowing over how powerless they are.

Wow. They actually managed to show no fights, only pointless blathering.
The yellow girl's backstory is just hilarious. I understand her nerves; clearly that division is filled with incompetent morons! The anime shows us the pink guy shield main protag with his half-swords, and then wimpy shield him - all in the span of maybe five seconds. Instead of doing that, yellow's teammate simply decided to become a meat shield - even though he had a sword in his hand! But why break an arm, when you can get eviscerated instead!

This show really suffers from talking about fighting instead of doing anything of value. It might work in the manga, but in the anime...? No! 'Show, don't tell' exists for a reason! Clearly, the writers expect the watcher to be a moron if they feel the need to explain absolutely everything happening on the screen. Yes! I understand that protag won't abandon his friends in need! You don't need to tell me for the twentieth time!

(Also, yellow girl should be dead twice over. Are the vampires supposed to be deadly or what? Why did that incompetent freak stand over her for ten minutes, waiting, deliberating whether to kill her or not? This is after those three morons called for backup because they were facing real vampire hunters!)

They didn't even show me Mika's beautiful face. That's pretty much my only respite in this shit show and it's gone :(

Though this story and characters are not bad at all, what I've found highly obnoxious since ep 1 is the background art - in particular the ridiculous manner Tokyo's buildings have been toppled, as if they're made of paper.

Skyscrapers do not collapse on their side like Jenga towers. They can collapse if impacted by a large enough force, but they do so vertically, they are not knocked over like we are constantly shown.

Furthermore only 8 years have passed since that virus broke out and yet Tokyo looks like it fell at least a century ago. The state of Tokyo, by and large, contradicts the story.

Pandemics do not obliterate cities, they only kill people. And yet we are somehow supposed to believe that Tokyo itself was devastated by that virus. Which makes no sense...
