It has been a good episode... although I feel that Hiro Shimono could have been a better fit to Kuromine... Natsuki Hanae just sounds so lonely to me (damn you Tokyo Ghoul/Shigatsu). For Shiragami, I expected a bit more of an adult voice... but she sounds really cute here. Oh well, we will all get used to it.

They adapted the screaming part right. Hahaha. Kuromine you just friendzoned her. >.<

The OP song made me drop it. Looks like another harem to me and i made a promise to myself not to watch any harem ever again.

The poster for the anime clearly showed the main protagonist surrounded by several girls, made it pretty obvious that it was a harem. So I'm not really sure why you expected anything else.

Out of curiosity may I ask why you refuse to watch any more harem series? I'm mostly curious because as a manga reader, this is one of the better harem mangas out there.

Uhhhh well...

The sieyuus are going to kill this show for me.

Natsuki has no variety in his voice. So now all I can see is Kaneki Ken and Arima Kousei trying their hand at comedy, and I fucking hate it.

Shiragami sounds like an 11 year old girl, and I'm not a fan of her attempt at Kansai-den. She should sound her age, not like a toddler, and that accent should be thick. In the manga every other word that came out of Youko's mouth had an accent on it.

Fuck, all of the characters sound like middle school girls. Akari sounds like a high school girl and not a violent older teacher. Aizawa should have a deeper more authoritative voice since she's always yelling, but she basically sounds like a monotone Shiragami.

Really only the side characters, Oka, Shima, and Sakura have voices that fit their characters and their personalities well.

It's a shame because all of their sieyuus are like big name sieyuus whom I really really like, and they're extremely talented in their own right. Unfortunately they're just painfully bad matches for their characters. Almost seems like the studio didn't give a shit about the characters and just hired as many big name sieyuus as possible to get the hype train going.

The art is kind of shit too. I didn't think it looked too bad in the key visual and PV, but seeing a lengthy amount of it changed my mind. BUT, they did the crazy faces pretty well, and overall that's really all that matters.

Pros:
- Faithful to the manga
- Comedy scenes were still good
- Crazy faces were done right

Cons:
- Terrible seiyuu casting
- Art in general isn't too great

All in all it was ok, was super hyped for this since I read the manga, and was maybe a bit disappointed, but not devastated. Will keep watching to see the rest of the cast.

Haven't read the manga (damn, that is some ugly character art) and I can't say I was blown away by the anime, even though the characters aren't near as ugly.

People like you who judge the manga art alone without actually reading the story (plus the art has gotten way better over the years) is exactly the reason the anime studio went with this shittier art style.

So here I am, loud and proud, although who really pays attention to the posts in a discussion that reach past 48? Why 48? I digress, yamate...

I have been reading the manga on this one, and to be frank I'm liking both. I have a preference for vibrant colors, because I'm FABULOUSSSSS (not really no), but I do like the color scheme. The opening scene just warms up my cold-hearted cup of coffee. So as far as the art, it's pleasing. A lot of summer tones and I appreciate what they do with the lighting. Do I wonder if the carpets match the drape? Of course I do! Don't ever ask me another stupid question... Unless that's what you're into... I digress, yamate...

The music is actually quite nice. I find myself already wanting the OST, nothing more beautiful than warm colors and some beautiful string instruments orchestrated in the background. So that's good, the sound effects in the anime feel like there will be a time where a fat character will walk by and the sound will be a tuba playing in the background. Can you tell I'm a real A-hole? I digress, yamate...

Anytime there is a school (high school) anime, I always judge their school outfit. Why? Because I'm FABULOUSSSSS (again, no I'm not). In my honest opinion, the school outfit is kind of lame, I've seen better. But that Hawaiian shirt tho... Stay classy you laid back MC supporter. Then you have the whole green vest red hair roled up pant legs with what looks like white wooden clogs, like ok I get it you can probably river dance, big whoop don't fight about it. I digress, yamate...

I hope that budget doesn't get cut on this series and I look forward to more. It's pretty funny, the manga is enjoyable as well. So I guess I'll suck it and see. Is this something that I will enjoy to digest, but I digress, yamate.

This is my opinion, if it hurts, apply salt and everything will be kimochi.
Help me build my harem, tell your sister I don't like her.

This is my first vampire series so my opinions might be too kind, but I really enjoyed this. I can't wait to get a second episode.

I read the first chapter afterwards to see if there was anything dramatically different story-wise. There wasn't, which is a good thing. However, I did expect character design changes. The only one I noticed was the main character. She looks more like a human girl. She has a cuter face. It might add to the surprise factor of the first episode if you didn't read the synopsis.

If you want my score, I shall say... I like it. I hope it keeps my interest and becomes one of my top romance series.

That was a fun episode, I liked the opening, didn't know how I felt about the closing. The gurl with green hair was cute and made cute faces. Don't know how I feel about the blue haired girl( or was it purple, cant remember) but seems this series is going to be extremly enjoyable

I'm anime only viewer but I find the char design pretty nice, kinda different from all the others.

Anyway, this is my harem of the season and I'm sure I'm gonna enjoy it. Still better than the never-ending teasing To Love Ru for sure.

Also, when the song started half way in the episode I thought to myself if I was actually watching the last episode, because usually they keep those kind of romantic songs for the ending.

Speaking of ending, its ending theme is nice as well.

Welp kinda expecting this from the pv and visual release, but my god it was really bad than my expectation watching the 1st ep. T.T

Nothing was likable about this anime from me. The animation, the char design, the seiyu, the op and ed. This was the first time from my fav manga adaptation that I can't find anything to like about it.

-This just my personal opinion. Please no one bash me for this. And I really hate to say this was bad but.... Gonna cry in the corner now. T.T

Still not confirmed that this is 13 episodes. Since the manga is publishing and has 85 chapters translated they've got lots of material to do a two cour run, particularly if they keep to a reasonable pace in terms of the adaptation. Let me just say for the AO viewers to expect some real craziness to come. We're just lucky to have a show with "a cool beauty" for an mc...
Please don't feed the trolls!

are 24 episodes?

he is very faithful to the manga, which is one of my favorites.
First episode without any panties or fanservice, very good, it shows that they focused more on history than in fanservice, which are the major causes of failures in anime, which currently focus more on fancervice that in history.

Started off thinking it gave off a Yamada and the 7 witches scent, what with the vibrant hair colors, the school setting and the "secret between us" trope, but the futuristic command chamber at the end flipped everything towards a Rokujouma no Shinryakusha vibe.

The character designs are a bit on the edgier side and slightly old-school (ala Denpa Kyoushi, but imho better than that), but the story seems interesting. Will give it a few more episodes.

So that's the fastest i've gone from "eww she sounds kind of weird" to "hold up, she's actually really cute."

Everything was kind of below average, even the sound which I felt almost overlapped dialogue in an awkward way at times. It's alright though, i'm not bothered by the visuals.

Hanae Natsuki though yuck. You give him enough time and eventually he'll be another Matsuoka.

Surprisingly enjoyable.
I'm not bothered by the visuals, but I like the art in the manga more.
The casted VAs don't really fit the characters and it feels pretty odd listening to them, but I might get used to them.

I expected to have an allergic reaction due to the shounen tag, but it was really quite good. Until the last 2 minutes, after the ED, which makes it seem they are sneaking in a contrived bullshit shounen subplot soon but for now I'm still watching.

I'm glad! It seems they're adapting the story fairly well!
Though the voices are a LOT different than I had imagined. Asahi was close.
Loving it so far! I'm glad the opening isn't sung by the generic cutesy high pitched girls that romcoms usually include.

Fingers crossed that it follows the manga well!

I actually loved the extra large mouths and was a major disappointment to not see them in the anime... especially Miss Vampire, its like they didn't like the one from the manga so she got completely redrawn, face, neck, body, only their taste in shoes match... she even sounds like loli little sister too....an ordinary voice would've been perfect for her, but no....

Conclusion, Only reason i'l be finishing this anime for is as not to taint my no-drop-record...

Youko's VA is perfect in my mind, even if it's not what I'd imagined.
Everyone else is equally different from my expectations, but I thought they worked out really well regardless.

I was worried that Asahi's VA wouldn't be able to do the kind of reaction humor that will be coming in the future for the character, but the post-credits quiz laid my worries to rest.

The delivery on that shout has me rolling still!

I wish they'd have stuck closer to the manga artstyle than they did, but at the end of the day I think it's close enough so far. They probably will need to go a bit closer to it when the time comes for certain panels though.
