Siva said: Well we don't want our queen to end up with our servant the werewolves do we? so let's make Akira think Mina isn't the kind queen he thought remembering when he was a little boy, to prevent the cross-breeding between Vampire and WerewolvesI am not really sure about why Meiren doing all this thing. She said that she is protecting the lineage but what she is doing right now is trying to tell Akira about what Mina is up to which seem to be go against her own role. As we have seen, Mina seems to have a lot of enemies around her but she stated in the past that she is building the bund to protect the good vampires. And yeah Yuki x Akira's conversation is kinda odd..see now i began to dislike Yuki |
 |
| Okay, officialy this show hit the ground. Next ep and another one probably won't change the fact how inconsistent it all looks. |

Darklight0303 said: Akira is a badly written character IN THE ANIME due to the fucked up start of the series ...and that would make THE ANIME bad. It's like comparing Harry Potter books to the movies. Adaptations differ. They may have value. They may not. Comparison, most of the cases, does not help the topic: you can think the books are good, but that does not mean the movies have to be good too. Same goes with this. Imho, of course. |
Lind_L_Tailor said: nicoliolipoli said: lol! i'm loving this forum so far! this episode was good for me because the fight is going to start soon... aka, when all secrets are reveled and people who hate Mina will hit thereselves in the face saying "Why did I think that she was pure evil?" Anyways, I love Mina. She is fighting for her nation SO that vampires don't have to live in the human world where they can kill humans (so Mina's practically fighting for the good of everyone!). Oh, and I loved her calm reaction when Akira was questioning her... she's all like "If you believe that, then I can't change your mind." He will probably be smacking his face, too *refers to my first paragraph.* But then the calm ended and she threw a desk xD Oh, all that bugged me about this episode was how Akira told Yuki that he didn't give away her ring... but in the manga, he barely cares about Yuki and Oh, well. In all, I believe that this episode is heading in the direction of the manga, which is good for AkiraxMina fans! After reading this, I am of the distinct opinion that if the writers bring Mina back from the depths of "evil bitch", then her character will be badly written and clearly indecisive. And the supposed spoiler there is a massive Wall Banger... that just shows how badly written a character Akira is too. Honestly, this is really going i nthe wrong direction at 500mph. Well, I guess you would believe that after only watching the anime... but if you read the manga, you'd get why Akira did what he did in my 'spoiler'. And really, why would Mina be poorly written? I mean, she's still a badass and everything... she just happens to have a weak spot for her 'pet' (akira xD) |

| After I watched this episode I shot though it again skipping 10 sec per second and counted how many close ups of eyes there were. I got twenty four. Twenty f*cking four close ups of eyes!The rest of the images I seen consist of face shots, body pan ups, and still images. Lazy is not even the right word for this animation. Downright half assed is a better word. So don't even think we are getting any kickass fight scenes. So far they have taken the old comic book approach to most of the action. Meaning we see the punch about to hit the person and we see the person falling to the ground but we never actually see the punch hit the person! F*ck you Shaft. F*ck you. (I really hope they didn't get a hold of Shina Dark. I don't want them screwing up another great manga) |

Oosran said: Why do you think I like Akira so much because he's a wild one like I am doing what I want around my farm! :P And Akira's too much francis-ish in this episode, too much of this righteousness, what's right to do this, what's wrong to do that, etc. francismeunier said: Darklight0303 said: Ah too bad about that....wonder if I will win my hope of Yuki x Akira like I did in 11eyes.....hmmmmm >:DAlso did a quick scan of chapter 10. Now I know why I felt like hurling my lunch during the oh so sickening scene between Akira and Yuki this episode. IT NEVER HAPPENED. Oosran said: Crap? I beg to differ by all means...Yuki is way more cute than Mina even if she changes her form.....what is a vampire will never be human therefore is frightening and not loving.First, it's funny how that actually never happened, right? : > Second.. No francis, don't you dare drag 11eyes into this. (╬ ಠ益ಠ) And.. Way to shatter your dream, but you won't ever get a Akira×Yuki ending, because Shaft won't make crap ( ﾟ ｰ ﾟ) |

And really, why would Mina be poorly written? I mean, she's still a badass and everything... she just happens to have a weak spot for her 'pet' (akira xD) Well, i've already stated why I think she's already poorly written, because the way she is portrayed is extremely inconsistent. Now we've had one alignment whiplash that clearly signifies her as a villain... a very unwelcome one at that... suddenly switching her back to being a character we're meant to empathize with would undoubtedly cause the same effect, as well as a case of Chronic Backstabbing Syndrome. It looks like they were going for the new Evangeline, but it seems more like they got a female Suzaku. Oh, and I have yet to see anything that qualifies Mina as a badass. And sorry that all this will sound very abrasive to everyone, but please stop trying to use the manga to excuse the anime's faults. That's what we call Adaptation Decay. It does not make a good defence for your argument. Fact is, I don't give a flying shit about the manga and neither do a lot of people. Again, sorry if i'm being too mean. |

It's exactly as she's supposed to be and I (and plenty of others) know full well why we see two different sides of her: on one hand, she wants to be accepted and as so, she makes herself more vulnerable. On the other, she's in charge of an entire race that is subject to prejudice, misunderstandings and hate. She has to show that she means business, else no one would take her seriously. One thing is for sure: Mina is not, nor will she ever be, a villain. Whatever bad she does is by far not as worse as others (want to) do or have done to her.. |

And the thing is that you're probably right. That's what they were going for. Whether they succeeded or not is a different matter entirely. It's quite possible this is something that they showed perfectly in the manga, and that those adapting it did not understand. Either way, taking her character in such a direction in such a sudden way was a very unwelcome piece of character development. At any rate, here's one thing we must make clear: If you don't want to make a character a villain, don't turn innocent children into the undead. There were better, more forgivable ways to establish she meant business, but that's taking things one step beyond redeemable. |

For me, Akira and Yuki were totally stupid in this episode, not Mina. In other words, this episode was a lame adaptation. And people should stop bring up the manga (that includes myself). Or else it will get the "Umineko MAL Forum Discussions Syndrome" or the "Phantom MAL Forum Discussions Syndrome". |

I completely agree here. Kidnapping the kid was to show that they mean business. Turning the kid? Most likely a beneficial move for Mina in the longrun. It insures the kid will grow up eventually to dealing in vamp business and ideals. It also sends a serious message to the PM that Mina can and will knock out any anti-vampire agenda he has. It's not a villainous move. It's not exactly the most savory and justifiable means, but it's not villainous to a point where she's just doing it to conquer the whole world. I'm sure Mina has a much grander plan that we haven't fully seen yet. Although I would agree with Mina's sudden attitude changes. It seemed way out of place by sticking her as some high school tsundere girl with a crush as seen from the last episode and then back to the vampire queen role. |

| There's nothing strange about a vampire taking advantage of a human, irregardless of age. I don't see the big deal. This episode though, really shot downwards though with all the characters and I think it's way too early for them to be destroying how we perceive the characters when we're just getting used to them. |
| Lol at the production values on this. It's like they're not even trying.... Yet I'm still enjoying it somehow. Guess I'll have to pick up the manga at some point. Francis: If you hate vampires so much, why are you watching a show about them? Lol. Might I suggest Buffy the Vampire Slayer instead? Can't go wrong with Joss Whedon.

| OK, I'm hooked. Can't wait for the next episode. Looks as if a war is brewing. |

| "But kids love these.." "Yeah, but then the adults will get mad" XD And I really hope Akira and Yuki remain just friends... I wouldn't be able to take it if they became a thing. I am actually on Mina's side even if she wasn't right to use the school and that kid in the way she did. |
| Mina never used the school. If it weren't for Mina there would BE NO School! >:D |
| Well, some interesting, and actually valid points have been made. At any rate, i'll say this: Kidnapping the kid? Fiendish, but that stays on par with Mina's prior anti-hero persona. Turning him into a vampire? No. Hell, at worst she should have threatened to turn him into a vampire from the beginning, and if that didn't work, then go through with it. Taking the most extreme option from the get go are less extremist and more terrorist actions, even if the line between the two is quite thin. |
| you're jumping the gun. Remember that she took the kid under the pretext of not allowing Vampires OUTSIDE the bund? Well then she just goes to return the kid to the prime minister after he gives in. You don't think something's inconsistent ? |
Darklight0303 said: we know that mina was behind the kidnapping, but she acted like other vampires decided to do the kidnapping on their own. i think she wanted to publicly look like the good guy - or at least like the humans' only hope for keeping the vampires under control.... you're jumping the gun.
