| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Lol Hiiragi is such a tease. Yuu still has that weird friendship with Shiho. That punch in each others' faces...LOL. Also kinda funny how Guren shows the class what some real power is all about. Seems like this episode had some animation issues in particular at some shots with Hiiragi :/ |
 |
| Two new stronger officers introduced. He sort of received permission to have chance to get the sword. Vampire guy is not popular among the kids there. Main guy doesn't do well on the test. Nakamura-san's character tries the sword out on the students. Only those three main (unexpectedly, Nobu's character included) are eligible. Ceremony to obtain the sword begins. |

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Guren shows his power to the class and destroys the classroom without a care. xD Well, time for Yuuichirou, Yoichi, and Shihou to make a Contract with the demons. Best of luck, guys. Shinoa is still pretty and trollish as ever. xD |
| Any bets on who will make it next week? |
OpalMidgeMay 2, 2015 7:49 AM
| Everyone will succeed. I hope so... |
 |
| What's that called when you try to spring back up from falling on your back? That failed. Shinoa dancing around the room and then the sleight-of-hand with the test lol. The room with the giant faces is creepy. |
| I'm glad that i wasn't the only one who noticed the animation getting worse. :/ Nevertheless, this was the best episode for now. But it really doesn't say much for this series yet. Seems like we finally get out of the boring parts now though. And i'm sure that everyone will make it. |
| They are finally able to get a chance to get those demon weapons. Can't wait for the next episode. |
 |
| I thought that they would have adapted the weapon selection scenes but I guess not =o Re-watched the episode and it was really slow paced tbh....I think that scene with Mika visiting his old home is anime original but I liked it a lot and it added more to the mood The animation was great and really odd at times in this episode but I really liked how they animated the scene when Guren used his weapon on the class to see who was ready to go through the ceremony Best parts were definitely all of the Shinoa moments lol she is such a troll xD Her banter with Guren was too funny as well I'm expecting the art and animation to be top notch since they decided to include the entire ceremony as well and that Yoichi stuff in that one episode....Maybe we'll get introduced to a certain blonde character depending on how the episode is paced |

| Aw man the episode ended just as it was getting good. Mostly slow this week, almost felt like padding. At least Shinoa is still great. Not sure how Mika intends to "save" Yuuichirou, but oh well. Next week looks fun with more mind-bending flashbacks and demonic infighting. Can't wait! :D millie10468 said: Any bets on who will make it next week? All 3 I'd guess, just a hunch as I forget if they all have weapons in the OP which I suppose would give it away. :P |
Tokoya said: I thought that they would have adapted the weapon selection scenes but I guess not =o They really dragged this episode out, imo. Just getting to the demon weapon chamber required half the entire episode. |

Can't wait! :D I think, he wants to ''save'' him from the humans. Not sure though. Yeah I figured he mighta meant turning him into a vampire, but unless we suddenly get a very good reason like the humans are somehow worse, which I suppose we might, his goal comes across as misguided at best. Makes it hard to root for him unless as an antagonist, but I assumed he wasn't meant to be one despite being turned. Could be wrong on that though I suppose. |
| Well, almost all characters sucks in this series. Only Shinoa is (very) nice. I'm watching this, only because of incredible animation and art. |

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| That was pretty good. The animation in the first half felt really weird ^^; So hyperactive or sth. Like the Yu chasing Shinoa scene for example XD Just gotta love Shinoa's smug though. The way she called Yu's score legendary was lol but best scene was when Guren saw she was still standing and said "I wish u'd drop dead" lol also her "Eh but I'm like super cute" when he told her she's uncute XD Her tone is so sarcastic :3 Yoichi not even being fazed by the demon aura was quite nice to see. Wonder how he'll fare with the real test nxt. Looking forward to see how they'll handle the black demons. From the pv looks like shit will get real. And the animation looks really cool ^^ For some reason my fav scene this ep was the Mika scene walking around the town and getting rejected by those children. Felt really sad :( Esp with that OST!! GODDAMN IT WAS AMAZING *A* I want the track <3<3 |
 |
| I love how Hiiragi teases yuu. I can't believe that he actually got a 0 on that... Well they finally get the opportunity to try and get a cursed sword. Im really looking forward to the next episode!!! |
[center] *>.>[Spoiler][/spoiler]<.<* [center] |
| Guren not giving a crap about the meeting. A zero of a score, not even a little, tiny pity mark, Shinoa really did it. It actually feels weird how they let these "beginners" with lots of potential already to the highest-series of weapons. I mean, I know the powerful has to start somewhere, but it just feels slightly off. If the test by Guren was good like that already, can't help but to expect a little something from the conquering of the demon weapons. |
 |
| Hurry up and give me vampire slaying already! ;-; |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| Nice new ep :) And I also noticed the animation in the first half of the ep to be a little weird, can't wait for next week; I'm pretty confident that all 3 of them will succeed. |
 |
| Oh my loving god I'm so fucking glad that I read the manga before watching this, otherwise I would have been so upset at this point because HELL was that slow and boring. Man the show's really testing everyone's patience. And wth is with that stupidly sloppy animationing, it pokes you in the eyes, I mean, did some of the staff just literally drop out or sth?? There was basically NOTHING in this episode and the whole time I was frowning and hoping that it would get better but no, no it fucking didn't. I don't know about those who haven't read the manga but as someone who has, this episode left me speechless, numb even. |
| Annoying Yuu, can't wait for him to find out Mika is a Vampire?.... that might be interesting..... I hope to see more of Guren, he seems by far a more interesting character |
 |
| Shinoa is super cute |
| Hi there |
| Really like Shinoa |

| Good episode. Yuu's personality is one of the things I like the most in this title, but I'm wondering how long it will take before we can get more besides that fact that he wants to save Mika and such. Shinoa is great, as usual, and I'm glad Shinya was finally introduced even though I can't seem to remember him much/he was shown for a short time. Animation was a tad trippy, but it looked hilarious during some scenes so I can't really object. |
 |
| Shinoa kinda bugged me this episode. But the rest was well done as it's been, the soundtrack is beyond amazing, cannot wait to buy it. As someone who just bought the first 4 volumes of Manga, OMG I cannot wait. I can easily see this in my top 5 fav if they keep this going. I am really enjoying this anime so far, and I can't wait for next week.. |
| Shinoa continues being as awesome as ever! She's such a troll XD The Mika scene was pretty cool Dat cliffhanger was pretty crazy. For the first time so far I'm actually really looking forward to the next episode! |
 |
| Very slow pacing but not a bad episode overall. |
 |
| The Vampires in this anime are not scary at all. A loli, a bishounen, and the other forgettable chick at the ceremony thing. It's just not fearsome at all, it's laughable. Mika is the only one so far that's kinda cool. |
| They really slowed down a lot this episode. I would've thought they would adapt more than 1 chapter but they only covered a bit more than half a chapter this time with all of the anime-original bits to pad out the episode. Can't say I dislike it though given that I read the manga, they'll be able to cover the later parts much better because of the increased pacing. Like everyone said, the animation problem is obvious in this episode. I noticed that this episode had more moving scenes (people in backgrounds, little details in body movements) compared to other episodes so maybe that was one of the reasons. Just hoping they'll improve it in the BDs and do justice for the fight scenes since that's what I'm looking forward to most. :P I like the anime-original with Mika visiting the town and his family's home. The scene of Shinoa dancing around the class with Yuu's scores and Guren testing the students were done better in the anime imo. Next episode will adapt another half of chapter 6 and chapter 7 based on the preview. |
EasyGo-erMay 2, 2015 8:49 AM
| The backgrounds is the only thing this anime has going for it. 5 episodes in and still not getting better. |
 |
| I really enjoy the sow pacing to be honest. It allows for more character interactions. I ended up roping my husband into watching this, and I was telling him that I like shows that have slower paces in the beginning so that you can connect with the characters. I'm glade that Yoichi was able to shine in terms of withstanding Guren's "test". I haven't read the manga yet, and I know I should - this episode really pushed it for me though. So many questions in terms of the family lineage that Guren was speaking of at the beginning of the episode. The scene with Mika visiting the "house" was very heart breaking. Oh, and I live for the interactions between Guren and Shinoa. My favorite characters in the show, without a doubt - followed by Yoichi. |
| The best episode so far, imo. I really don't like Shinoa, tho. So annoying... |
| The dynamic between Yuuichi and Shinoa reminds me a lot of Bart and Lisa, as well as their characters in general. Mod Edit: Added spoiler tag to large image. |

| i always found funny the heavy weaponry vampires xD finally they get to make a contract adaptation rant sort of amazing how the studio is managing to turn any comedy into awkwardness.. derp and those bodily animation right after were like watching ragdolls dancing.. Tokoya said: from the preview, they seems to have extended the part about the contract, so it was not possible to have it into this episode (even if waiting an other week for that sucks)I thought that they would have adapted the weapon selection scenes but I guess not =o |

Next episode will adapt another half of chapter 6 and chapter 7 based on the preview. We have the same opinion. I am kind of dissappointed at how they adapt this episode. But still, the part with Mika going to the human's shelter...and most importantly his smile make up for all of it. Lol Well, since next week will be some flashback and fighting scene. I can at least expect that they will adapt 2 chapters. I hope the next episode will be more better than this. Those quirky movements. Well, that is certainly disturbing but it was also funny. So it was ok for me |
| It's not a matter of talent. It's a matter of will |

| Again, it reminded me of Ao no Exorcist, Rin = Yuu, Bon=the pink haired guy, the difference is Rin&Bon are actually smarter and more interesting. So far it's really predictable. |

Just getting to the demon weapon chamber required half the entire episode. I really want them end it on chapter 15. I guess they're doing this so the pacing won't suffer later on, you know, with the fights and all it'd be harder to drag out the later episodes with more anime-originals. zilch16 said: EasyGo-er said: We have the same opinion.

I have a feeling that they'll extend some scenes and pad it out with more anime-originals again like they did this episode. Chapter 8 seems like it'd be better adapted as a new episode with the new start of their days. Agree with the quirky movements lol. Lots of small details in body movements this time but it should be a lot better with improved animation so let's just hope they'll fix that. |

| Fuck this shit is so short, I want more of it. Fav anime this season for me. |
| Shinoa is so good, I don't have words to describe her. Meanwhile Yuuichirou is the same as ever.... I would prefer if Shinoa was the MC. If that happened this would be AOTS for me. |
Barion-Zara said: Kou Yoshinari storyboarded and animated together with his studio Silver the first half of this episode. you may have stumbled across some of his scenes, his most famous one being that equally hyperactive dinner scene from nanoha. Yoshinari is a true perfectionist who does everything from animation to colouring by himself and usually uses an enormous amount of drawings for his scenes. the results are incredible fluid movements and many confused anime fans who are not used to this kind of animation.That was pretty good. The animation in the first half felt really weird ^^; So hyperactive or sth. Like the Yu chasing Shinoa scene for example XD |
| I love Shinoa's personality |
| Great episode, going at a nice leisurely pace. That animation during the first half was very good, rare to see that much movement. |
 |
| Fucking horrible again.. I'm probably gonna drop this shit |
 Credits to MAND4Drawings |
| Lmao. 2/5. As a comedy, it would be 4/5. |
| Animation was a little off, I think. I'm hoping they put more budget into the fights... Nevertheless, great episode and I didn't mind it being "slow-paced" as it still intrigued me. It needed to be slow to set the mood. |
Guren goes Bankai!! |
