| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Yeah, it's kinda hard to take this show seriously with the amount of humor in this. Gotta give the show credit for all the humor though. I bet the VA enjoyed their work on this, especially for Draluc's character. It's also weird that so much screen time took place at a store, almost like they're trying to make this anime as normal as possible. |

| Well, what a funny premiere this is, a Van Helsing parody of a comedy between the vampire Draluc and vampire hunter Ronaldo the Great. The OP gives me Death Parade vibes (because it's Madhouse), and the ED is OK. In the vampire "cosplay" castle of Draluc, everyone is free to do what they wish, even the kid who's just there and playing the games stored in the castle on his PSP, making a deal out of the entire mansion. Putting both Ronaldo and Draluc into hilarity for chasing the kid around the castle, and the kid is much smarter than these 2 adults amidst the many "traps". It's all hilarity karma for Draluc, and the "blast away" destruction of his own home along with the ash disintegration of the morning sun. Everything is back in business, but Draluc finding Ronaldo's company as his next rest place. Since he has no place to go after getting kicked out by the kid's family, the hilarity lives on. I love John the Armadillo as a pet lols. Handling idiotic pseudo-vampires like Bubuo kidnapping the shopkeeper Ellie for these two is a piece of cake, but it goes both ways with how much insert jokes as it could muster. What kind of vampire drinks milk and not blood? Ellie having to friendzone Bubuo with that confession and small talk, WHAT WAS THAT FOR LOLS??? This ride be fun with Ronaldo (Makoto Furukawa) and Draluc (Jun Fukushima) working as partners. A really nice start to fight against the Monday Blues! |

| Gonna be very honest. I don't know anything about this show other than the fact that this is Madhouse's recent project. So, that already put this on a high pedestal. Quite a lot of vampire stories being popping up this year... hmm. Well, let's see how this goes. As for the first episode, looks-wise, this is Madhouse, so I don't have to say anything. The premise looks promising and mostly, I think it is a comedy involving vampires in it, so it works. The characters in this show are really something else. LOL. As for Ronaldo, he's cool. I like him as well alongside Draluc, he's the one I'm most interested in, for now at least. Looking forward to this one. |

| A comedy vampire anime? I'm in. Dracula's VA Jun Fukuyama or better known as Lelouch is one of the main cast and the VA of Ronald Makoto Furukawa or better known as Saitama is also there. The voice actors are pretty stacked so looking forward for more. The OP is pretty lit; Madhouse never misses but the ED is normal ig, nothing special. Seems like 2021 will be full of vampire animes but I'm not complaining. Pretty fun start with the kid who's actually smarter than both of them. The two main duo's are just hilarious. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| A vampire hunter with a "invincible" vampire that is actually just acting ridiculous... hmm, really disliked this 1st episode to be honest, probably not my kind of comedy... :/ |
 |
| Not the worst premiere episode for a comedy anime I've seen, but I do feel like the humor in this episode though felt very heavy-handed and maybe a bit too forced and non-stop. Made the episode feel annoying at times. Hope as more of the cast is introduced, the series adjusts itself a bit more with time. Also have to say, Ronaldo looks like a rejected Alucard cosplayer. |
| This anime is a pure comedy and better than what I expected. John the armadillo was very cute, I really hope it will get more screentime. I've been wondering about how many times Draluc will die and turn into the sand until the end of the series. lol |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| This seems interesting so far. If they wanted to lure the kid, they could've threatened to delete his save data. That would've had me running in no time. Eri looked like she had it with the Manager's son. The way she just nonchalantly grabbed an onigiri off the shelf and started eating it XD. Ronaldo kinda foreshadowed Eri being with an old guy.  |
 |
| Umm, I don't know.. Maybe not my type of comedy. |
 |
| Lots of vampire adaptations for Halloween? Hehe. This is a proper comedy show where the tag actually means a lot compared to most anime that have the tag just because of the odd joke. I really love Madhouse so this, unless it really messes up, will be loved by me. The comedy is also great. I just hope the running gag won't be overused, which I don't think it really is, but that's literally the title of the show lol. |
 |
| I love the whole concept. Cannot wait for more. |
 |
| Not feeling it on the first episode Ronaldo shouts something, Draluc turns into sand, rinse and repeat. Too one dimensional IMO. Maybe once they add more characters, it'll get funnier. |
| Looking forward to the next episode. First episode was pretty hilarious although the comedy may be overboard for some people, I think it's a mediocre show that I can bring to cheer me up and cure my depression to say the least for now xD and the OP is pretty BANGER, seeing Ronald and Draluc dancing together is immaculate! |

| This Show is going to be really good, I had a lot of fun watching this Episode. on the other hand, I can't help but The Voice and the Getup of Draluc Reminded me of...  |

 Thank you for the present, Santa Snowman 2 |
| Not sure about this. If it doesn't get better any time soon, it'll be a drop. Comedy? Well, I didn't laugh or even smiled at all, just wanted it to be over... |
 |
| Excited for the next episode! I can already see this show doing well. Also love Draluc and John is adorable |
| Lmao I love how the ending is just John travelling around the world. It was alright, I definitely see potential. |
 |
| The humor in that is so god damn cringe. I understand that it's a slapstick for good reasons, but the gags aren't even one bit funny and it looks like it'll get more repetitive as the season progresses along. |
 |
| For the first episode I think it's super funny. I had a few laughs and the characters seem to be really fun. It's going to be a really fun comedy anime. I want to follow this adventure of this comedy duo Ronald and Draluc 😂 P.S: I think John is SO CUTE, he will be a great group mascot ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっ❤  |
 |
| Dropped it already didn't able to finish the first episode. |
snowman_builder said: Yes, it's painful to watch.Not sure about this. If it doesn't get better any time soon, it'll be a drop. Comedy? Well, I didn't laugh or even smiled at all, just wanted it to be over... I was looking forward to an enjoyable comedy this season. I'll keep looking. |
Have suspicions, not faith. |
| man there is way more negativity in this episode discussion then i thought it would have i thought it was hilarious. it was quick and quippy. maybe a bit too relient on gags, but even if there was a miss the pace is so fast that miss would be followed up by a hit soon idk what everyone in this thread is talking about |
| Loving the opening visuals, so amusingly goofy. That was already a good very first impression. Episode itself had it's fair share of enjoyable moments as well. Gives me lowkey Iruma-kun vibes. Gonna stick with it for another few episodes for sure. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| You don't need women to achieve happiness, my friend. |
| In a weird way Draluc is more a phoenix than a vampire itself. The world is strange itself, they have vampire hunters, but people are fine with vampires anyways. |
 |
| I loved the first ep and can't wait for more, the trailer probably threw some people off what this kinda show is... |
 |
| Loved this first episode for sure, I think its safe to say this is one of my favourites of the season judging from this episode. Loved the comedy, and the opening is so good. Can't wait for the next episode :D |
| I'm watching it because is Madhouse, but this type of comedy is not for me. I didn't laugh or even smile once, oh well... |

| Didn’t know much about this series but saw it was was made by Madhouse. Glad I checked it out! Love the humour in this show and I like Draluc’s and Ronaldo’s character dynamic and how it turned from a vampire killing mission into finding a lost child. Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| Reminds me of a mix of Sleeping Princess in a demon castle, and Iruma, just more loud, and more focused on that loud and in your face comedy. Though dunno if some of the stick will get old real fast, or it'll be enjoyable throughout. We'll see. |
I'm sold on the comedy when: |
  |
| This turned out to be greater than I expected. I hope it continues in the same way. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| Eh, comedy was very hit and miss. It was one pace throughout the whole episode too, and it didn't stop. Too much shouting for my liking as well, hope for more mellow scenes tbh |
| I was hoping this was going to be similar to Demon School, but I guess not. The gags were mostly a miss for me. I'll give it one more episode. |
| I wasn't finding this funny until convenience store Dad's pole dancing admission. Ronaldo's yelling was too much. My ears hurt. I think I'll pass. |

| this seems right up my alley, also loving the voice actors they chose; hope there’s more scenes with John though |
 |
| The jokes got real old real fast. I think it has potential to get better with the characters in the opening but jeeze...this was not funny at all. |

| I didn't like so much the first half since it was just people screaming and I hate that but the second half was pretty good. |
