The manga also had a rough start, but this adaption has cut out a lot of the early friendship stuff between Anzai and Tsukasa. Like how he takes breaks in between jumping around on her balcony because her place is in his route and he was worried about her [he also thought that the guy from the first episode was her boyfriend, I'm not sure if the anime will include that part, I think they already skipped it], and she sees him and tries to chat with him a lot, it's very cute. Anzai also takes a nap with her after she invites in him to warm himself, they cut that out as well.

I mean, it's a GOOD anime so far, but it could've been GREAT if given a two cour. :/
[I enjoy seeing this animated, and it isn't like the plot has been BUTCHERED or anything, but definitely thinned out. The VA for the main cast is really good too.]

TBH, i think it's better than episode 1. Maybe because we didn't get chasing scene. This episode focused in building relationship of tsukasa x anzai.

Next episode will be fun, there are some action. Keeping low expectationfor now because action scene in episode 1.

That still felt out of pace again. Seems like the show's too much focus is about the growing relationship between Anzai and Taira, with some information from vampire cases, about how a relationship between vampire and human develops. About the female vampire, I don't know about how's it in the manga, but that felt rushed, her case just came out fast and we only a get a glimpse of backstory about her and her husband.
Those Anzai's punches, serves you right, to the rapist.
From blood to urge lust is really emphasized with Anzai unbuttoning his pants scene.

I believe that the show will get better after the first half of it cause they changed the director in the middle of the production.

This show is a fucking disaster. I dont know what what they wanted to be.
First a fucking crazy weird girl want a random man's dick when she is a fucking cold hearted person to her childhood friend.
Then a lifeless stalker SJW half-zombie police appear like he dont have anything to do.

Then what she is trying to do going out when already late night, right after being told to be careful? Fucking awful writing. Good luck watching this boring lame plot.

Droped, i dont get anything but disgusted.
I cant even enjoy about the romance +17, because idiot braindead, irrational personality and ugly + boring look character.

I hope we don't have to wait that long... It will be very painful, if we do. That would be about 4 more episodes (unless this is planned to be longer than 12 or 13 episodes- which might be the case, since the episode number still isn't posted. But if its longer, I hope it gets better soon)...
The script writer who transitioned this from manga to anime, is mainly at fault here.
Would changing the director do much?
The issue is with the person who got it ready to be animated, not the director, per se... Though that could be better as well... I don't know if a new director could help it.

This episode was rushed, they skipped some important scenes, to a point where they made him look like a creepy stalker. Even so, i still enjoyed watching this very much. I can't wait for the next episodes to air. <3


Others don't seem to think they skipped important stuff, but they did. A lot of things! They animated around 85% of chapter 1 for ep 1, then maybe about 10%-15% of chapter 2 and 40% of chapter 3 (40% might be giving them too much credit) for episode 2 (not to mention they added things that weren't in the manga).
Its stupid. People are getting a terrible impression of the story from this.


Indeed, but haters gonna hate so it doesn't matter what they skipped as long as there are a lot of people who enjoy reading the manga and watching the anime. I personally loved seeing an anime adaptation. Even if it skipped a lot of things to a point where the plot seemed inconsistent. I alos enjoyed the things they added very much. :)

This show is so ridiculously terrible but unlike most of the bad shows this season, it's terrible in a trainwreck sorta way. It's just so hilariously stupid that I can't stop watching. I swear I laughed more during this than most of the comedies I've been watching.

I have to say the best moment this ep is the throwaway line about having to have a doctor watch you through every thrust if you wanna shag a vampire. I almost had to pause the show, I was laughing so bad.


Agree ...

Dull female lead with a hot but awkward love interest. I wonder what gives with the bags under his eyes cause without them he is hot stuff.

The conversations these two have ... I mean, gee, who talks like that? I was rolling my eyes and saying, "just do her already."

I will keep watching just because it's so bad it's so good. >x<

"I thought silence was consent."

So that's why this show is in the 6000's.

But seriously, I bet that line triggered a lot of people, and not the internet's definition of the word. The sad thing is that there are people who still believe this to be true.


If anything, I think that scene should have boosted its ranking. Unfortunately a lot of guys do believe in silence = consent. That scene really does a perfect job of demonstrating how that way of thinking is the mindset of a scumbag. It shows a guy who is, without question, a total asshole, and he justifies his asshole actions with "silence is consent." Hopefully it's an eyeopener to some

This anime is definitely this year's Mayoiga. It's so bad it's almost good - entertaining and funny (even though it's not trying to be). So many ridiculous scenes this episode:

1. "Haven't seen him in awhile, wonder where he is?" *Pulls back blinds and he is there staring through her window*

2. Pleasuring himself while licking some blood

3. Sex between vampires and humans is legal...if a doctor is watching?????

4. Coming into sniff her hair at night...because that's totally romantic.

In summary I will keep watching this trainwreck and I will ironically recommend it to others.

Oh man! I had a good laugh with this.

Some illogical behavior of the MC:
-"He forgot his wallet because he went to an important mission and I know it's a dangerous one because he's a freaking half-vampire... what should I do? Oh, follow him"

Some hilarious ocurrences:
-Male MC stalking on the window.
-The girl gets to a highly safeguarded building, a second later she is on the top floor.
-That "shoujo anime love at first sight" moment... uuuh, so good.
-Guy sniffs girl's hair.
-Masturbating to a blood remainder of your loved one.

I'm ok with bizarre things like the 'lust attacks' vampires have as long as is consequent with the world building.

I'm totally into this anime, so good.

I'm not sure how I feel about two for two attempted rapes in just two episodes, I would like this show if it weren't so graphic like that. Idk it also feels like a repetitive plot device like is she gonna need to be protected from an attempted rape every episode or...

This definitely isn't a show for everyone but I enjoyed it a lot. If you like this kind of dark romance then I feel like you would enjoy this show. The romance is a lot of fun. The manga is definitely way more mature though.

Very messy but for some reason I'm kinda enjoying it.
Just kinda though. Their relationship building is extremely amateuristic, at least in the anime...one of the worst I've ever seen
But again, for some reason I'm not coming round to hate it...yet

Surprised to see the low rating currently, since this is shaping up to be one of the best 'mature vampire' anime i've seen so far.

Its got a low rating because they seriously screwed the pacing all to shit and left out info that gives a lot of motive for actions (such as why he was on her balcony, and no, he was not stalking her. He just happened to look at her window/doors just as she thought to open the drapes), as well as many other world/character/relationship info was also left out of the anime, making the characters and the story seem extremely stupid, compared to the manga.
I'm very dissapointed in this anime.

I find it hilarious that people are dropping this because of the awful fanservice but continue to watch fanservicey and overly dramatic series like Darling in the Franxx. I think both Devils Line and DITF are series that are so over-the-top and terrible: annoying characters, plotholes, etc. but they're still enjoyable to watch. So bad it's good like most slasher films and American comedies.

I think it's ridiculous how this girl almost gets raped twice and how stupid her professor is.

Funniest part is Anzai licking her blood off with one hand and jacking off with the other.

Also a vampire and human are allowed to have sex if they allow a doctor to watch them lol

this starts with a twilight meets tokyo ghoul vibe but it gets better. at least the manga does, that's why i'm trying to stick to it.
because to be honest the manga isn't much better than the adaptation at the beginning. when the story starts to develop beyond anzai's and tsukasa's relationship the world it builds is interesting. not that it's a masterpiece, but it's better than a lot of other romances around.

I love the fact that the romance starts almost immedietly in this series. There isnt many series that the romance starts quickly, even for romance anime. Thats one of the things that makes this series so re-watchable.

Besides him beating up the professor for raping her, I don't like Anzai as a character at all. Hopefully, my opinion will change through time, but right now, he's weird as fuck and I don't mess with him at all.

How did she get up to the roof to even overhear that speach? Police was present on the street around an active standoff. No ****ing way they let random civilian #153 interfere and mess things up.

Bruh I started watching this anime with no context whatsoever, so I don't know what genre it so I keep on constantly getting surprised. Is this like a darkly twisted vampire romance story? I feel sorry for the girl who lost her best friend. She nearly got raped by her teacher and then had to see him beaten to the brink of death RAH. I was so confused as to why he kept coming back and why he is falling in love with her but it just hit me he drank her blood, therefore, bro craved more and he was her first kiss so now she's low-key becoming obsessed and romanticising him.

Redo of Healer gets a load of flack for supposedly being a "rape fantasy", but I can't say Devils Line is any slouch in that department either. Everyone wants a piece of Taira, including Yuuki himself, and they aren't for asking nicely. It's almost comedic in how brazen it is.

Still better than the first episode. The scene with the woman who turned on her husband after what was a previously normal marriage just because she saw blood had some poignancy to it, at least in the sense that it highlighted how tragic these kinds of human/vampire relationships can turn in a mere instant.
