Uh oh, a thief causing trouble...not to mention, a vampire.

This was quite an episode and we get to see a darker side of this show especially from that past. What a cruel world. Better epsiode than the previous one and this had more violence than I had expected.

I get the classic vampire hunter vibe from Abraham.

Different thief? And stealing vampire related.

It's time to capture KajiKaji's character. For information, though. She needs to learn to protect herself in order to participate in the plan. Checking that little thief in rumor before that. He appeared when that necklace appeared and said he came to get what he belongs... meaning vampire?

That ex-soldier was ordered by KajiKaji's character to kill his father, the vampire in target, but led him live. KajiKaji's character had his family in "hostage" that he had to do it even though he knew that the vampire wasn't worth getting killed. Duel that kind of like lecturing. He allowed vampire kid to aim the grudge only to him.

Martial art training at the end, and that vampire kid finally came to join them.

Good episode.

So the phantom thief was a vampire and Dracula no less.
I can't believe it never hit me that Van was supposed to be Van Helsing.

Anyway we finally get to learn Van's backstory and the reasons behind his hate of Finis who most certainly deserves to die.

I hope the group's plan to hi jack the train and hold Finis hostage succeeds.

Very happy with the episode. Many of the issues that somewhat bothered me from the previous episodes were done right here and most importantly Cardia starts showing signs of personality!

The scene between Van and Delly was really cool! Loved it <3

Cardia has been training. A new member has joined the team, who was the phantom thief and turns out to be a vampire. His name is Dracula. After learning about Van's backstory, Finis needs to die. After everything is done, Van will let Dracula get his revenge on him for killing his family.

5/5 loved it!
Maybe this is because I haven't played the game, but I still can't understand why people rated this pretty low..
We got a cute vampire here~ and Van's back story is pretty sad.. Finis really need to die here... XD
And Cardia retells Lupin's sentence.. It's so cute and sweet~ especially because Lupin smiled too at the background~ but in the end I still so sad looking at the picture before the ending scene.. Is the end of the anime going to be sad too...? TvT


I'm starting to get embarrassed by my own forum signature line.. XD

I did not enjoy this episode like the 2 before... Maybe because Van Helsing is not my favorite (I mean I like him and I know some people are going to hate me but even in the game his route was the one I enjoyed the least...). But at least close to the end Cardia was not as passive as before. Still I'm missing some of the pearts in the game she showed her talents (but maybe this will follow).

Looking forward to the next episode... it seems like one of my favorite side characters (hm I would not really call him that ^^) will be introduced :3

This was a pretty solid episode. We got to see more of the government's motive (and find out they're practically evil). Cardio gets training, and has now find started to be more "lively" and she also relates to the vampire as a "monster". I'm pretty sure this is an important point. The fight scene between Van and Dracula was pretty solid too...in the flashback we get to see that Van was manipulated by Finis into killing the Vampires, but then ends up with his family also dead....

Next up we go kidnap Finis on the steampunk train!!!

Also, man...I really hope the ratings will at least be a 7 or higher, this anime isn't THAT bad...
Even Kamagi Asobi got 7.3, and I say this one should be similar as well. I hope this score doesn't scare people away from the Visual Novel, because it's actually really good... :/

Slightly unrelated but,
Is it just me or are there more «pretty boys» anime this season than normal(pretty boys anime- anime about pretty boys doing things pretty well) we have 2 reverse harem in this and sengoku, as well as 4 or 5 different boy band animes. Not saying it is a bad thing although i personaly tend to not enjoy these shows.

Yeah it does seem a lot more than usual. More anime for the ladies!

Anyway, this episode is a bit rushing through the material. However, still enjoyed it. Btw, too bad they did not include one thing from Cardia's training.

I still don't know how I feel about this Anime... This episode was much better than the first two though, so I'm very happy with that. I don't think I'll be dropping it though; I should be able to make it through the season and I can only hope that the episodes progress in quality the way this one did!

I'm glad to see Cardia developing a personality though, and adding some more back story to Van helped the plot a lot more.

The fighting scene between Dracula and Helsing was very solid. It's regrettable that it's only short.

Hmm, they focused a lot on Van, he really has a sad life. He had to kill people he actually liked and then he lost his family too, no wonder he hates Finis.

The show isn't making any indication as to what the other characters feel for Cardia,
Seems like Lupin will be the main romantic interest and I don't have a problem with that.

Van my boy. This episode convinced me that I wasn't mistaken to take a liking on him. He's hundred percent my type.

A phantom thief that steals only treasures related to vampires interesting. Their plan to steal a whole train along with the leader of Twilight sure was interesting. Its nice that Cardia is also trying to find a purpose and role for herself though. Its nice that the team is willing to help by educating her in what she will need to be useful in this world though. Deciding to catch the phantom thief though will be a good training for Cardia though. To think that phantom was actually just a child though. Van and Dele's shared painful past sure was interesting though. To think that he had tried to stop the impending war after learning about how gentle the vampires were. Its no wonder that Van wants to put an end to this as well as Dele does. The fight between the two really was impressive though as both have great cause and motivation to fight. So it was this event that ultimately caused Van to turn against Finis then. The end of that fight sure was surprising though.

Poor kid :( Van Helsing's past was no better, his family was killed despite carrying off the mission. No wonder he hates Finis. Good episode.

All the name references are fun.
Like a reverse Haine, Cardia gets several teachers.
Maybe not every reverse harem references vampires & Twilight, but here's one. The Van & Dracula backstory was kinda interesting.

I was wondering when the obnoxious loli would show up... - -;
Because every single harem has to have one for some reason.

So, a shota vampire appeared.

The story about him and Van Helsing is dark but too cliche and simple.

And i realized that Cardia is actually really cute btw.
