Hmm, you can definitely tell this anime is a few years old. Not a bad episode. Music was a little strange to me though.

I wonder what kind of ending this is going to have, since the end date for this anime is before the end date for the manga.

A amazing anime and the first episode is a good start off to the rest of the series.. Not to much being showed or just slow like many other animes.. It does A great job opening up for the rest of the anime.. A incredible story of Love developing where it is unexpected..

Probably one of the worse first episodes of something I've seen in a while. Really hope it gets better but have serious doubts that it will. I actually found myself asking, "wtf is this shit?" at one point. Also for something that's supposedly a comedy I didn't see a single funny thing in the entire episode. Pretty sad.

As for Karin herself. No, just no. Cute doesn't make up for stupid and annoying. I was able to tolerate her here but she's the kind of character that a little goes a long way. Would be surprised if I don't end up totally hating her at one point.

Have no idea what Usui's deal is but so far he seems pretty boring. My pet rock has more personality than him.

Nice! I have read the manga and even when it is changed little bit, it's good.

I wonder if other episodes stay true to original or not.

Ahahahaha! Maybe it's just because I'm so used to this happening to male characters, but that nosebleed had me loling so much XD . I knew she was a "reverse vampire" and that she didn't suck blood, but injected it somehow, but this I was definitely not expecting rofl!

At any rate, a good first episode, hopefully the rest of the show is as good. Also, watching the english dub here, and I have to admit, Chelsea Curto seems to have the adorable voice thing down. Coming off of Michelle Ruff's god-awful work as Aoi in Ai Yori Aoshi, this is like heaven on earth.

So Marin is a un-vampire but it really looks like that she was sucking the blood of that random dude.

Not too impressed so far. The art style seemed kind of retro 1996'ish. It seemed like all the pieces were there, but the whole thing just felt flat. I dunno...something just seemed to be missing.

It was ok, and I'll give it a few more episodes but I hope it improves quickly.

Same here. I will have to give it some more time. I think it is the art style. After seeing Tooru from maid dragon I just cant go back.

I finished the series and it wound up being fairly decent. It got interesting after awhile. Still not one of my all-time favorites or anything, but I didn't regret the time I spent watching it at least.

Those credits at the beginning were fucking obnoxious, thank god J.C. Staff hasn't done that in any of their other stuff, as far as I've seen. The artstyle and presentation are good so far, and the animation isn't bad. The music is so so, nothing really noteworthy, and the writing, while not very noteworthy either, is certainly better than other stuff I've watched that I'd consider bad. It might not be as bad as people say it is, although maybe I'll regret saying that eventually.
