Okay, so today I am reviewing an anime called Strike the Blood. It has a pretty basic story line centering around the main character Kojou Akatsuki, who just so happens to be something called The Fourth Progenitor which is the most powerful vampire in the entire world. So some secret organization sends this generic, pretty girl to go and observe Kujou. So now that I got the calm basic synopsis out of the way, let's get started on this thing.

Story: This is a harem anime, but let me tell you, it is not a good one at all. Basically, Kujou, the guy who is supposed to be the strongest being in existence, is weak as fuck. He can't do anything unless he drinks the blood of whatever pretty girl is the most convenient to him at the time. He finds himself facing powerful enemies all the time and all he needs to do to overcome this enemy is to suck some girls blood then that's it. He wins.... No fucking development where he starts to realize more of his powers and becomes more adept at using them, he just kinda always wins with no effort.

Relationships: This category is a must for any decent romance/drama/harem anime. So let me just say this. There are no fucking relationships. Kujou basically just does several nice things for the girls he meets and they suddenly are ready to let him drink their blood... This is so fucking shallow, I can't even begin to explain how badly done this whole 'drink blood, get power' was done. And you would think that a harem/romance anime would have decent, meaningful, deep relationships between the characters. No. That's not the case here. Just shallow, vampire pretty boy bullshit.

Art: It's pretty decent. Pretty colorful and the battles are well animated. Not much to say here. It's nothing spectacular, but it's passable.

Enjoyment: I didn't fucking enjoy it. Just a super generic harem anime with terrible character progression, absolutely no deep relationships between characters, and boring as fuck story.

Rating: I'm giving this anime a 3/10. I gave it a 2/10 on my personal list, but now that I think about it the anime has pretty decent art and voice acting so there's that going for it.

Yes, Strike the Blood is one of the most ecchi anime during Fall 2013...

Well, I think i agree your "angry" review at the story section, yes it lacks of development. But the story still have a clear plot, not a spiral and confusing plot. Also you should think again about the enjoyment section. Because many ecchi fans found Strike the Blood exciting to their ranks...

Again, I need to stress that these reviews are comprised entirely of the author's personal opinions. Many ecchi fans probably love Strike the Blood. But, I did not enjoy it to such an extent. I do consider myself an ecchi fan since I found decent enjoyment in anime such as Demon King Daimao and Highschool of the Dead which are both full of fan service and ecchi scenes. But alas, Strike the Blood just seemed very shallow to and boring to me.
