For a very first episode it wasn't bad. I have a feeling that Tsukasa will suffer in this entire anime...

So in love with the ED song X3 Mamoru was a nice choice <3 and also UtaPri for the song performances. Nice! :D

This is very average in every aspect, the end was even laughable. But it still can be interesting, especially if they dive more into addiction issues.

The reason why a lot of the people don't like the first episode is because of the bad animation, bad character designs and the ending scene that came out of nowhere.

this anime is still far from being called generic like the plot isn't that bad
animation was pretty nice though I feel like that the character designing is a bit odd especially the eyes, that's a disappointment. some of the scenes were way too fast they almost look ridiculously unreal honestly.
the ending left me sick ugh "what was that"

but I hope it improves tbh I am looking forward to this series

Didn't like animation.
The chase and fight scene felt like awfully fast-forwarded.
Ending wasn't good.
I hope story will get interesting at least.
2/5


In Fact as someone with slight motion sickness i practically died at the chase scene! Blair witch prooject like shaky cam for Fight scenes folllowed by stiff car scene followed by more shaky cam? instant headache. Sorry but no sorry :(

Not too bad but not too great, I mean this is exactly like tokyo ghoul except that its about horny vampires.

the animation is also kinda weird especially the chasing part, why are they moving in fast forward motion !?

First minutes build up the grim dark atmosphere, so I guess I'll expect a similar scenes like that with the next episodes.

This feels like tokyo ghoul inspired series with the similarities depicted, vampires who wants to live like humans or to live along side with the human they love, half vampire, half eyed.

The animation didn't bothered me that much, but the overall pacing looks awkward, would like to see some improvement with pacing next episodes. As I got interested with the story with its similarities to TG. Seems a smutty one I guess.

OP looks emoish and edgy, though I like it, it fits with the series' atmosphere, imo.

i swear to god i thought that episode is going to end like the first episode of tokyo ghoul (well i guess it was the first episode but whatever). it's not bad until now, the episode really kept me hooked until the end. the animation and visuals are meh.. not my type but not horrible so it doesn't matter.

i got the hope that this will be better than tokyo ghoul (because the first episode reminded me of it) or owari no seraph(because it's with vampires) and god damn that cliffhanger! Can't wait until the next episode.

people dont like that kind of drama and tension and think its forced. Also even more importantly, anime doesnt do anything differently, its just like any other vampire story. Even live action movies are similar to this. Had it aired 10 years ago it might be rated much higher in 7.50 vicinity? right now people are just tired of usual cliches and same overused stories

I really love it! It is like Tokyo Ghoul, I can't wait for the next episode! I'll hope this anime will be successfully within a good reception from the audience, maybe vampires are a classic argumenth but in this case it seems is gonna worth it! See you in the next stop waiting that this anime just made it.

AHAHAHA THEIR RUNS LOOK STUPID AND OH BOY THAT ENDING, Forgot this was a romance. But I have to give props, the animation is fast, a bit too fast during those action scenes which makes it look like their moving more than they should, but it ain't bad, I can at least tell whats going on still. Just wondering now how long they can keep up this animation work. MC Girl looks dense as a rock with her stare, but I'm going to hold onto hope that she isn't a complete moron, she doesn't seem like one but it's only been one episode. Also the EDGE. I think this will be pretty fun. Also somebody working on this REALLY Liked that Shaky Cam effect.

I thought I was watching something stupid, it turns out it was retarded.
How to make good fights? Just speed up the animation.
Another species existing on the planet only to eat (and rape) humans.
The music of the OP was nice but the visuals no.

Basically Tokyo Ghoul gone sexual

Animation wasn't choppy but felt kinda lazy, and body movements were awkward and unrealistic.
Artstyle is unconventional, looked like something out of a Chinese studio (?)
Pacing was weird, the last scene to me was anti-climactic.

Wouldn't really call it Tokyo Ghoul tho.

When I found out they made it into anime I couldn't believe my eyes - I loved the manga but I didn't think it is popular enough to get it's own air time, especially since I couldn't find new chapters for a while.

After watching the episode I am a little bit disappointed - the animation wasn't that good, pacing was weird and some moments or character behaviors seemed forced. But on the other hand it still left me excited and waiting for more - not as much as some other anime bu still. I'm not sure if it is just because of the manga I liked or the anime itself is that good. Probably the first - I read all the chapters I could find two times and I want to read them again, now when I got reminded about the story.

Devils Line contains romance, action and drama so a lot of people will find something interesting in it. It's a story about vampire policeman/detective/something like that with troubling past that falls in love with a human girl. It isn't just romance. Actually there isn't even that much of it. I mean - pretty much every action movie has the main character in love with a girl and it doesn't make it "romance", it's just there to keep the story going and put more sense in the characters choices. Sure, their relationship is interesting to follow by itself for those who like romance but it shouldn't bother those who hate romantic stories, I think.

But those are my feelings after the manga (that I read a while ago so I might have forgotten something). I don't know what they are going to put focus on in the anime.

I actually quite enjoyed the first episode.. The beginning was dark and drew me into continuing the episode instead of just saving it for later.
Unlike many people, I did not have issues with the animation. It seemed fine.
It actually got me hooked enough and I began looking for the manga to read! I am up to date with the manga already so looking forward the the future episodes of this series.

Devilman prologue, gorey edgy,
OP will skip
WHY THA BIG SHOCKING WEIRD EYES EVERYWHERE.
College students? Ok maybe better than highschoolers.
Animation's weird lol but I think they tried hard to go for fluidity & speed.
Why reuse the awful camera shake from Servamp, so nauseating.
Osts too good for this show.
Sawashiro Miyuki needs to be in better shows.
FUGLY IRRITATING EYES AGAIN!!
Not-boyfriend moments & flashbacks super awkward no one cares on first episode, with atrocious pacing.
Great osts again
Are we supposed to like this violent indelicate Blade as mc?
Did Not-boyfriend get a broken mic? Pls give this poor soul a working mic.
Suddenly shoujo grill can't walk anymore, this is screaming shoujo but it's seinen. Onto hero carrying trope.
Yes pseudo NTR love triangle makes everything better.
ED is awesome.
Might watch as poorman's Tokyo Ghoul (right it's also set in Tokyo), or the irritation might become hilarious at one point.

I may not be very pleased with the first episode. Don't read the manga though and the first episode just pulled my curiosity towards the manga less. But, interesting theme and plot so I will keep it a go on the next episodes.

Ah, the last scene though. VERY not expecting it to happen, but somehow it kinda rise my interest.

It wasn't that bad. The animation was decent and kinda weird at the same time (what's wrong with their faces?). I hope that i'm not the only one that thinks this will be an another generic, "tokyoghoul-ish" vampire series? But ok... let's wait. Maybe plot and especially characters will be good developed in the next episodes. Afterall that was the first episode - i looking forward for another.

And also the ending... Well, that just happened i guess.

So far it has been good. The art was a bit disappointed. Feel like it is inconsistent. Can't be help (prob see the fix up in bluray/dvd).
I enjoyed reading the manga very much just hope the script/script composition don't ruin it.

(Kenji - who worked on bloodlad, servamp, & Aoharu x Kikanjuu. Watch them all but got bored after.)

What a fucking bitch. Friendzoning her friend for really long time. But enjoy to getting laid by a man she doesnt even know.

Blatantly ripoff tokyo ghoul but tryhard with a shit method to active the vampire mode, which is "sensing" blood or angry. Really?

How about the black hair guy not become vampire in the first engagement, he must be sensing some of the girl blood isnt it? So, vampire mode is activated if ONLY seeing human blood?, How about some red blood color liquid? (I.E wall paint, wine etc)

How about half vampire, when yourself a vampire but trying to be a justice warrior?

And what is the vampire special abilities? that different from normal human? We see nothing. Some random police woman just rekta vampire so easily. Just call it zombie, they using "vampire" because its more edgy and 'romantic' for sure.

Better changed the genre into Josei, Harem than a seinen, action.
