| It was...different, yet promising. Have to agree with loving the music. Some SZS-esque animations were present within the episode, that's SHAFT for you. Looking forward to new episodes. |
| I had some trouble translating the scene with meme, my japanese isn't quite there yet. guess i'm gonna have to wait on subs for some parts. Very SZS feely. I like this already. |
 |
| anyone know who's gonna be subbing this??? |

HoaRy said: Very bloddy beginning, was that an OP? Don't think so. Yes, that must be SHAFT's work. Story looks interesing as well, Bakemono gatari might turn out really good. It was a summary of one of the series' prequel novels called Kizumonogatari, it deals with the blonde haired little girl who was once an adult vampiress. I believe it also details how the MC became a vampire and the events that surround it. That's what I like about this series, it throws you into the middle of an already ongoing story and it carries you on from there. I'm guessing the proper OP will begin next week, as for the song that played during the ED, that might actually be the OP song. |

andrex316 said: anyone know who's gonna be subbing this??? I was wondering the same thing. I checked around and I heard these sub groups posted they were thinking about doing it. Sora Subs - Has it listed in their project page (most likely this group) II-Subs - Nothing found on their site about it ainex - It's not anywhere on their site that I found AllOfThem - same as above can't find anything So I'm guessing it will be Sora unless another group pops up. I'll keep my eyes open :) I'm waiting for this one! |

| We are currently discussing it, but since all our staff really like it, we most likely gonna start translating it in around ~2days. we are also working with sorakake atm, so dont expect subs very soon. Probably we will have around one week delay, compared to airing. Alva [II-Subs] |

| I really liked this anime and am excited to see the rest. The creativite put into this is just over flowing! |
| Nice Catch. |
| Nice episode. Loved the art, loved the music. It looks really promising. But I can't quite understand the story yet. No subs T_T. |
| Very nice episode indeed, looks promising^^ I would to see what the OP is like but oh well, the animation quality is pretty good :D Looking forward to the next episode ^_^ |
 |
| Dayum...that's an interesting episode. No subs yet, but damn... I wouldn't want to fuck around with Hitagi...she can kill with office supplies. |

chouji_kun said: does anybody knows who will sub this? because i'm waiting for the subs and all i find is the raw episode. I posted above the groups I found on Fansubwiki Sora Subs & Yuurisan-Subs have both posted on their website that they plan on subbing this series. Also II-Subs posted above they are planning on doing it, with about a week delay :) So hopefully we will have some releases soon, can't wait |

| This was so awesome. D: I can't wait for more! |

| I totally loved it. And random jokes are epic win. |
| Stunning episode, loved everything about it. Art, bgm, characters, story, dialogue, atmosphere, humor everything was great. :3 |
| yea Ididnt expect this to be that good but it surprised me. The animation is great, the jokes are funny and characters are well done. Story is interesting as well. It looks promising. |
| I'm dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. It's the honest ones you have to watch out for. Honestly. |
| After watching it with subs, I simply love Senjougahara's character. The comedy is spot on, hoping to see a great series from this. |
|
| At least it looks really promising ! Music, animation stuff and those awesome angles ! Also the plot seems interesting. Kraker2k said: I simply love Senjougahara's character. Same here, she seems so awesome ! :-----D |
     |
| Great show but it has the same problem as Natsume Yuujinchou... Kamiya Hiroshi. For me, he is and will always be Zetsubou-Sensei, I can't take his voice seriously anymore, even within a serious character. >.< I like his voice but he will always be the one and only Mr. Zetsuboushita... |
 |
| yeah totally awesome. this was besides umineko one of the show that i wanted to watch. and hell it surpass my expectations. also want to listen to the op, the ed was pretty good already. |
     |
| So far I really like everything about this anime. No complaints here. |
 |
| this anime surprised me. i don't know anything but the novels so and by the summary i was expecting some comedy. i turn out dead wrong of course, but the plot, as confusing as it was, didn't seem that bad. however the art work annoyed me. even though it was well done as far as detail goes it had to many close ups and dramatic backgrounds. call me old fashioned but just i couldn't get into the story it made me feel like my screen was too small |

| Shaft has not failed. I love this animation. Thank you Shinbou-sensei. |
| "In 2009, in a survey asking its respondents "which manga do you think is the most interesting?" in a pool of 6000, Kuso Miso Technique came at 11th, beating popular manga such as Gintama and Detective Conan." Wiki |
| That was intense. Shaft once again did a great job with play of colors and I really like how some parts are animated as if the viewer (me) is actually in the story. Her attack really shocked me. I think animation was very well done. Finally found a good quality show for this season. |
| That was pretty insane and SHAFT-y to the point of absurdity. I don't know if I liked it or not, though... |
 |
| I might have liked this ep if not for one scene. I mean, think about it, some girl sticks a knife into the mouth of the main hero, then cuts him and what deos he do? He helps her. Is he a masochist of what? I may be overly sensitive but that one scene ruined the anime for me. Other than that great animation and music. Story may too be intersting, but one episode is to little to judge. |
| That surely turned out to be far more interesting than I thought it would be. The animation style is awesome - reminded me of SZS. Loved the OP, and this anime seems like it's going to be carrying a lot of darker themes (yay). Also, I've taken a real liking to Hanekawa already :D |
| SHAFT. Looks promising. The art, animation and music is all great. Characters are looking good too. |
 |
| Interesting first episode High hopes for this series cant wait for episode 2 |
| I have high hopes for this and the first episode sure didn't dissapoint me, I'm totaly hooked! |
 |
| way to stamp your trademark on this one. the whole time i just kept thinking zetsubou.... |
| I loved pretty much everything about this first episode. The art, the animation, the characters, the dialogue, the music... I kind hope the show as a whole won't be as gruesome as that intro looked like, but even so, I'm giddy about this show after the first episode. |
| I love the animation and the art, but still, it's too vague to me -.-"? |
| this seems quite so interesting, and also, a little "different" drawing style used.. but it looks pretty good i suppose : p and also Spiritsoulbut said: pretty vague so far yes xD although I don't give a crap actually, seen stuff with like.. a billion times the vagueness of this : Dstill, it's too vague to me -.-"? |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| Wow. That was just... wow. |
