| Damn Shinoa being the best girl as always, lol'd when she took Yu's test sheet. |
 |
| I like how they show the humans might not be as innocent as we think. Theres a deeper story here somewhere. |

| Great episode and nice cliffhanger! Looking forward to see how he'll handle it. |
 |
| Shinoa good as always when she provoke Yuu with the class test. Yuu and Shih definitely have a weird friendship but often like in DBZ (Son Goku and Vegeta) contrasts are the best. So next episode we will see if they can handle the demon weapons. Looking forward to this :) |
 |
| I don't understand why they are letting these squirts get the most powerful weapons and join the elite squad of exterminators. The only thing that fuels them all is a strong desire for revenge/power/both. Their desire for revenge is so intense that in Yu's case he describes it as his only reason for living. Would you really want people acting on passion and reckless fury as members of your elite squad of vampire killers? It doesn't make sense why they are being enlisted when they have no traits of someone who would fit the job. Think of Attack on Titan's Special Operations Squad and their level of collectedness and calculation and compare it to these potential members of the Vampire Extermination Unit. For the first few episodes of this show all I could think of when hearing Yu's countless exclamations about wanting power was: "Is this young Sasuke? He has the hairdo for it..." |
| Man, I just picked this show back up off my on-hold list to try to finish it when the new season starts, but wow this animation is bad. I apparently wasn't paying much attention to it until recently. It's missing so many frames often and looks either like a poorly made gif or like it was made in Adobe Flash. Studio Wit is a relatively new studio so I could understand some amateur flaws, but they should have tons of money to work off of due to the massive success of Shingeki no Kyojin. They definitely must have not had faith in this work for sales, so they put the cheapest budget and less talented side animators not currently working on SnK season 2. Just look at this shit, tell me you don't have a problem with it. https://youtu.be/c00JcIjcLqY?t=28 It's Toei tier. The background work is very well done at times though, somebody was putting in some effort at least. Pretty boring episode as well, hopefully it picks up soon. |
 |
| Man that scene with Mikaela really got me, when he went to visit his old home in the slums and those orphans were there. The ost is phenomenal and really enhances moments like that exponentially. |
 |
| Good thing i wasn't the only one that noticed the poor quality of the animation scenes in this episode. |
 |
| Poor quality animation. |

| Holy shit! That animation when Yuu ran to kick Guren reminded me of Naruto. Sayuri is cute AF. Shinoa violated with Yuu's test paper. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| lol it's obvious all of them would succeed. Haven't anyone seen the OP? I'm just a bit disappointed that Yu will use that cliche sword. Damn no one ever uses a great sword something like what Guts uses. That's badass af. |
 |
| FANTASTIC episode ! I'm liking Shinoa a lot and I like Yu's hot bloodedness and I like Guren's arrogance and the pink hair glasses dude is cool! XD It was sad to see Mika return to the vampire orphanage. |
 張大です for 張大勇督察 |
| and now they have to choose demon sword!!! I think, that they will not problems with the election!!! Arrives to episode 5, and all in this anime series is comun and typical, nothing special...a little boring....i wait begin the action yet!!! ; _ ; |
| I told myself I would stop ranting about morals on MAL... but this is just so dumb, I have to mention it. I haven't brought this up yet, but it's also pretty dumb how similar Yoichi's backstory is to Shihou's. This wouldn't be as bad if their sister angst weren't the only thing we knew about them. Oh, and I guess Yoichi is the more mellow of the two, but it's not clear why. They just don't feel like parts of a well balanced ensemble, more like just a rival and a doormat to underscore how utterly radical and uber cool Yuu is. That reminds me, I'm still waiting for Yuu to have a moment of self reflection. The clear standout of the episode was the unleashed demon in the classroom, so that's cool. By the way, is Guren just gonna keep being a smug jerk with no depth or what? Though I'm complaining about everything, I'm still enjoying this train ride. Even if it's gonna crash with no survivors. I also noticed the jerky animation at some points, but that's not a budget issue. I'm not an expert, but in my understanding, all TV anime cost roughly the same amount of money, proportional to the overall run time. And in "limited animation" (which applies to TV anime), there will always be trade offs, it's just that a good director knows how to manage the resources available - which is something that this director presumably couldn't quite pull off. But of course, there are lots of other things that can go wrong during production. |

| I feel like this anime is going too fast pace but at the same time slow too. Imo the emotional scenes have little to no build up, for example episode 2 (I’m pretty sure) Yuu finally got his first friend & his family is proud and leaves him. It all happened way too fast and didn’t give me any time to be emotional. The show is also so slow too like the last episode. To be honest, the anime should be 25 episodes so it can have that build up for them emotional scenes. Also! The animation is garbage, it’s like choppy. I don’t really notice choppy animation, even so I don’t usually care but this episode but screaamms poor animation. I’m a bit disappointed since this anime is highly praised on different social media but what I’m seeing here is a bit of a mess. On a side note, at least the ending is nice... butttt I don’t really like the opening that much, I was expecting something more.. powerful? Don’t know how to describe it |

I don’t know if I enjoy it or not Tbh imo there is not enough build up for the characters and settings. The prequel novel is much better imo (Catastrophe at sixteen). It's a story set before the apocalypse. The manga adaptation is currently ongoing. |

At least the art is very pretty XD But the anime has beautiful OST and amazing seiyuu, so that's a shame thing to miss too. |

| That scene of children being fearful of Mika was so sad. Nicely done with that OST. I laughed when Guren was all like.....ok if you’re conscious you passed, if you’re still standing you get 4 stars & oh Shinoa I wished you passed out lol!!!!! Deadpan hilarious. What a chad. More Guren moreeeeee I love him. |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| The animation was a bit weak this episode. I hope that after this ceremony they will finally leave the school. |
| Poor Mikaaa, I feel so bad for him. Gurenn!!! That was so badass, I love it!! I'll always go for this type of character even if I keep seeing it in every shounen, also his voice actor is just perfect. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| Maybe Yoichi will end up being quite tough? Could be that he's discredited because of his meek nature, but Guren's demon aura didn't phase him. Yuu gives no fucks about anyone else in the orphanage except Mika, apparently. Luckily for him, they're the only ones who will probably actually stay dead. |
