I was not expecting this to blow my mind, but come on. You can do better than that. I don't hate the usage of cliches, because when they are executed well, they are so good. But this? This was just bullcrap. It almost felt like they had a list of cliches and was just ticking it off or something. Also, the voicing was bad. It just feels so off.

And finally, don't put a cliffhanger if literally the next thing shown is going to spoil it. Seriously, that's dumb, ridiculous and just plain retarded.

For every kids who have high hopes for this show, don't watch it. You guys only ruin a show. You should know based from the names, this based from a manhwa. and the studio who doing this is the same studio with anime hitori no shita - the outcast. So either lower your expetations or don't watch it. I,myself, found this interesting to watch.

Not sure if I'm going to like or dislike this one, but I'll watch on to episode two.


Yeah I gotta agree the ending song is pretty decent, but that's just about it. The scenes and backgrounds are so bland at most.

Not as bad as I thought it would be, but they should not of had the opening or preview. You kind of lose that WOW factor when you know in the next episode they are all fine anyway.

It was alright, hopefully this episode wasn't the "last episode" Like the series really starts at episode 2 and leads up to them getting bullet holes in them. That would suck.

Also something that bothered me is...wouldn't a bank have cameras to show who really did kill those 15 people...just saying.

I'm not that impressed yet. A lot of things were introduced and it felt kind of rushed. But I'll give it another chance next week, looks like it's gonna turn into a survival game. owo

It was pretty bad. Seems like Zankyou no Terror all over again, except Chinese with vampires.


Although i agree that it was quite bad, i really dont agree that it was like Zankyou no Terror.

But yes, it doesnt exactly show promise, unless they make the dark side of the story amazing

Stunningly bad. I'm already calling this the worst anime of the season.

Animation was downright awful a lot of the time, all of the characters are unlikable and the plot is just pretty dumb. It's like they just decided to mix Deadman Wonderland with Blade and a dash of Tokyo Ghoul... but, you know, the bad bits.

So... why are we meant to like the characters? They watch some woman get murdered in the street... then get annoyed at the police for beating up the murderer... then the next scene they are upset a kid got scared... what?

Loved that they tried to make it shocking and sad that the MC is getting framed for murder... but 2 seconds ago he was gloating about his criminal record and how he doesn't care about what he does, so how am I meant to like him? He isn't some Robin Hood character yet, he's just a spoilt brat with super powers. Maybe he gets character in the next few episodes, but right now, he's just a dick with massive daddy issues.

"Chao...nah, he's too stupid to come up with something this complicated..." -> Discussing 15 people being murdered. How the fuck is that complicated? The MC is amazingly awful.

Also. Curious. Main guy is "the child of hope" (note, worst name ever) because he's half human and half bloodivore. Bloodivores are a recent thing from within a minimum of the last 30 years, as the anime showed itself... so: 1. Why is that unique? No human and... well, human who occasionally drinks blood, ever banged before his dad and mum? Fucking unlikely. 2. Most of the bloodivores alive at that time were probably human at one point and if not, both of their parents were human. So how is he the only person half bloodivore and half human? All bloodivores are practically human. This is not Blade where the vampires and humans co-existed for thousands of years as a kind of "prey" and "predator" thing, this is... well, your name was once human and now likes bloods, the end.

It's edge-lord the anime. Was a struggle to even finish the first episode, took me 40 minutes. Anyone who gave this a 10/10 is either an edgy child or downright deluding themselves. Don't even know if you can see this as so bad it's good, it's just bad.

PS - That retard "OMFG R THEY DEAD?!?!?!?!" fake out at the end that would have been obviously fake even if they didn't cut a nano-second later to the next episode previous where they are all alive. That's incredibly bad directing.

For all the cliches and bad animation, this episode still went by fast. The pacing was quite satisfying for me, do people who complain it's rushed really want a show this generic to drag out? Will keep watching for now, but not expecting much.


See, I don't get this.

1. Why would anyone say it's rushed? It's really not, not much really happened in it. Robbery, flashback, trial, end. Samurai girl did more in its first episode than this... and that show's 3 minutes long.

2. More power to you, this episode felt like it went on forever because I was so bored by it.

The opening was very well done so I'm expecting good things from this anime. Surprisingly good first episode. I wonder who killed those 15 people? Was it the child? The lead's mother? I liked the melancholy atmosphere of the first episode, although the preview for episode 2's survival game didn't exactly thrill me. Excited to see how this develops.

Hmm... the 1st episode got so many mysteries that had me hooked until the last scene. Though now I got worried after watching the preview of the 2nd episode since it felt like there's no connection to the 1st episode at all, but I hope I was wrong. Just realized that it was an adaptation from a Chinese manhua that totally explains the Chinese names the characters have XD

Hmm a good episode all in all

So Vampires do exist after all eh

The car chase in the beginning and the bank robbery that proceeded it was cool
but i felt that they could have spent more time on world building as that felt a bit rushed here.

The scene where the Blooddivore attacked that woman though was scary and a little brutal.

Animation for this episode was average to say the least.
Voice acting wise Its been a while since i heard Eri Kitamura and her character of Anji looks to be the human one among her friends. Her character does remind me of Nene from Yamanda and the seven witches though. Must be the purple hair lol

The mc though is kinda cool

Nah, I think the "whodunit" part is just a gimmick(a bad one at that) so that they can go to prison, like it's in the synopsis it will probably go like Deadman Wonderland, but it's just speculation on my part.

This anime is not looking like it is going to be any good. Couldn't make it through the first episode. The animation, backgrounds, voice acting, and writing were all mediorce at best. The backgrounds were especially dull and poorly drawn. Bloodivores is from a studio that is pretty new, but made hitori no shita for summer 2016 which has mostly the worst backgrounds I have ever seen in anything, and some of the most hilarously bad voice acting i have ever heard ; coupled with sub-par animation. I believe that the same studio was responsible for spirit blade mountain which has pacing so bad it is nearly unwatchable. This studio has been taking poorly written web comics and turning them into pure crap to mediorce animes. Finallly the web comic that Bloodivores is based on is pretty damn awful so I don't think that it will be worth watching.

Lol, the next episode's preview ruined the cliffhanger ending in this first episode. . .

I red some comments here before watching it, so i didn't expecting much from this show. But it was better than I expected, although i couldn't feel characters' emotion. . . Well, let's see the next episode. . .

The anime was interesting, but the whole plot felt quite rushed, and for someone like myself who read the manga, I was sad that they left out and changed a LOT of things. I was also expecting the anime to be voiced in Chinese, seeing as it is an original Chinese manhua, but instead it was done in Japanese, something which I most certainly liked to hear.

That first episode was like impressively bad. Not just one part but everything. The "high speed" GCI that had cars that barely looked to be moving at all. The bland writing and voice acting like they just pulled people off the streets for spots. Tons of still motion pans and random camera cuts to help show off that this shoe doesn't have a more than a shoestring budget.

From the summary and opening I thought we were gonna have something interesting with a bit of quality. :/

It was pretty dumb how he freaked out about the kid seeing his face when the mask only covers his eyes, his two friends have bright coloured hair and they are obviously Bloodivores.

Not just that, but they kept using their full real names, even directly in front of the hostages.

Some kids rob a bank for no apparent reason (only heard their names through conversation). Saw a brief scene of a "bloodivore" attacking a girl but did she die? I guess their being contained because the police showed up? Bloodivores came out of the medicine made by some company? Most of this episode was kind of bland. The bank robbery and high speed car chase didn't mean much because it sounds like the kids didn't explicitly carry it out for money; we're also told next to nothing about bloodivores or "The Child of Hope". And I thought it was pretty obvious that the girl killed the people in her blood lust. which was hinted by her collar flashing like the first guy's. It reminds me of the first episode of Deadman Wonderland, except we actually meet Ganta, witness the slaughter of his classmates with him, then see his fear that he experiences during the rigged court case.

I'm not sure where this series is going, but I hope we get some more character interaction or information on the world, because I wanted to check this one out as soon as I saw that it involved vampires.

Oh and I liked the OP and ED, so that's something.

Ok I was expecting a lot considering the low score but not this. Looks actually kinda interesting. I guess the reason for the score comes at a later time?

Looks like someone set them up. Honestly it'd be kinda lame if it was actually this obvious but with everything shown only the BST would have been in the position to kill those people. I doubt that's the core of the plot though. After the preview for the second episode it felt a lot like they just needed a way to get those 4 into that mysterious place and it doesn't really matter how or why it happened.
