Eh, the episode felt kinda fast. Sayaka was cuter than I had thought this episode though but overall the fight felt fast. Dat dragon and cliffhanger. I predict someone is about to get their ass kicked next time.

The funny part about Sayaka is that she was attempting to kill Kojou and when Kojou's body naturally reacted she told Kojou to stop. Whose fault was it that Kojou reacted in the first place? And that whole tsundere routine, oh my God she has to be the most annoying character of this anime season.

Other than each and every scene that featured Sayaka with her unreasonable drama, this was a decent episode. This series won't be great, but at least it's a consistent one. Next up: Sayaka will probably be joining Kojou's list of victims. How else is Kojou going to level up?

Really fast episode. So much action. Kojou`s harem getting bigger. Seems like Asagi in the end didn`t understood what Kojou exactly is.
Next episode should be really interesting. Can`t wait to see how things will sort out!

Good ep. Asagi must be pretty confused about some of the stuff happening. Hope they'll explain everything to her soon ^^

Seems like Avrora is inside Nagisa? Or sth like that.

Sayaka's Dere-fication has began XD Kojou has a nice way with words XD What a player...She's actually pretty cute when she's blushing ^^;...I think I might end up liking her too XD And from the pv it seems like she's gonna get sucked XD

Pretty intense and amusing episode, those supernatural powers were so colorful to watch. Now we get to see Gardos, his motivation, and using Asagi's hacking abilities.

Sayaka is not bad character in this episode and starting to get along with Kojo now... Well just a little XD. Huh, Nagisa is being possessed by someone, who could it be?

Man, a cliffhanger ending, next episode might be an awesome fight.

Fairly disappointed in this episode.

Would of loved to see Motoki track the girls down with abit more character development.

Still in love with the guitar solo in the op theme :)

Felt rather fast paced with current episode but they managed to keep tension in flow with it, good episode overall.

Sayaka's tsundere journey has thus begun with this episode hohoho.

One thing that bugged me with this episode though was why isnt asagi surprised with kojou, it was as if she knew he had powers to begin with? She must have really like him to not get even slightly suspicious, considering the number of odd cases she was helping him on... lol

Next week's episode preview - this guy is still being protected by girls.

Kojou? The 4th shinso? LMFAO what a joke, this guy is 200 years early to even be called Kaleid Blood.

Stop messing around and give me a real vampire show already.

It's a bit odd to me how Koujo seems to be able to move freely in town

Not much to say except that Yaze's really cool :D Need more of this guy and his powers. Also, I guess Asagi doesn't really know what happened on the rooftop so she still hasn't found out about Kojou's secret? And I was looking forward to seeing what she has to say about it too.

Damn that gay ass blonde dude shut down my favorite character Yaze just like that.

Hope he gets revenge later on, at first I thought he will go against Kojou, after seeing him talk on the phone with someone in school, but looks like he's good after all, we'll see tho.

Nice episode.

You are right it can't happen in real life 'cause this is anime.
Jelly? lol no I don't like how they add a title of Shinso to a guy who's still barely even a vampire.

Sayaka irks the hell out of me. In the next episode, she'll hurl insults and expletives at Koujo and 5 minutes later she'll beg him to bite her and suck her blood. Of course, he's going to do it and send her "dere" factor through the roof...which will make her even more difficult to watch.

Actually, I'm not really feeling any of the women/girls in this show.

Yaza's power seems cool. Does his sound control release an astral body or spectre? Why does he need pills?

At least this series is consistent with its blandness so I guess that's one good thing out of it.

Idk what just happened in the second half. @________@ Everything is very clustered and confusing LOL. They throw so many unfamiliar terms around like nothing. :P

Episode was average like usual.

Why are the secondary boys always much more interesting? (example: Touji/Tokyo Ravens, Yaze/this show)

Episode was alright, wish they showed a little more of the fight at the end to get me pumped for next week. Sayaka sure is taking a liking to kojou pretty fast, she sure is cute though xD i dont know who i like more at this point her or himeragi and great animation as usual 4/5

Sound control guy was a fail though.. all those pills and didn't do anything

Nice episode. As expected, Sayaka shows her dere mode with Kojou's smooth talking. Anymore more smooth talking and she might spread her legs for him. Just kidding.

First time to see Kojou not get hit by her when he caller her "Natsuki-chan" again. I really like her that I want her to be Kojou's next blood partner/harem member in the future.

Nice to see Koujou to tell Vatler to buzz off and declare Itogami Island as his territory. Thought I still feel bad about him getting push over by women. I don't like how Yuki has to make him reflect his actions even thought it's all Sayaka's fault for causing trouble.

I wonder who Nagisa really is? Some say Avrora's spirit is inside her. If that's true then she's probably watching over Kojou but there could be more than that.

Looking at the preview, Kojou doesn't use Regulus Aurum. Probably because Yukine isn't with him thats why he's gonna use a new familiar with Sayaka's help. It's Chu<3 time for our dere Sword dancer next episode. As expected that Sayaka will be his next blood partner. I hope Natsuki-chan will be next in line.
