| Vampir was suppose to kill Melinda right, so what change his mind????? |
| The animation was good and o like the style of the world set up. That said the MC looks like and edgy Kirito and I'm not sure Melinda is going to be an interesting enough character. |
| Good episode. I like how businesslike the main character is. He's seems indifferent from what he's involved in. However Im a bit worried about towards the end and this turning into a romance. I really hope they keep his business like attitude and make it so he's not too personally attached to the girl. I think it'll be interesting that way. |

| First ep was meh, but I'm down with the lolis so ill keep watching. A manga reader said Vampir should be around 17, dude looks 25. All the other quick intros were weird, pink girl from train, bitch with mace, mute mini rem. But I'll give a chance if Melida turns badass like Shana or Louise...or any other flat chested badass loli |

| Okay start for now, I feel like they still need to go in depth about certain events this episode. But either way, animation looks good, Kufa is bad-ass and that chandelier-like city/world, what even is it... It has peaked my interest, I have not seen something like that before and I want to know more about it. Imo looks really unique. |

Nieznajomy43 said: lol in my own theory Marlya often misses her shots when she's trying to shoot a baddie even when she uses her Fairy when i considered as a useless one bcoz it had hot hands to burn only at a close proximity and when she's going to kill Liscrap she was stopped by an asshole named Free Underling what did i get after watching the first half of Fairy Gone? nothing just nothing and i hope this anime would kill it's existencePrankster_001 said: Merida is not entirely weak unlike the Female lead in Fairy Gone and this anime would kill it's existence ok. how De FAQ Marlya is weak? |

| Am I the only person who actually really liked this? There are talks of Melida being a weak character, Kufa having a boring, monotonous voice and narration and that there's awkward directing? I gotta say, I disagree with all of this. Melida, for one, is not a weak character. I haven't even read the manga or anything for this show, so I'm saying all of this based on this first episode and I will definitely say she is not weak. It's not really her fault her mother had an affair and that Melida along with the Angel House is unaware of this, making everyone believe she should have mana and be at the level of an aristocrat when her literal blood denies her the chance. The fact that she refused to call for help and would rather get beat up than submit to the help of someone else shows her strength because even though she's struggling, she chooses to believe in her own strength and keep moving forward to prove herself. This is what intrigues Kufa and makes him not want to kill her, we all can't help but see a struggling animal try it's hardest to fight back against danger and while it does struggle, seeing the animal standing their ground makes us instantly want to cheer it on. I feel like this is how Kufa felt. This already strikes me as quite unique and already entertaining. Now Kufa, I found his narration to be some excellent writing, in my opinion, if you think it's boring then maybe literature isn't your thing. I enjoyed his monologues and narration because it added insight and perception to the show. Kufa's cool personality that he seems to hide under a mask never really lets us know how he feels, so seeing it from his point of view and hearing his inner thoughts created a story I could easily follow and understand. It just lets us know what he's thinking. Along with good writing, I think his narration was good. His voice does not seem robotic to me, I feel as though it fits his personality since he's an assassin. Their personalities usually resemble the calm, cool and collected type. The directing may seem experimental almost, but I think it's actually pretty good. The show was clearly trying to set up a quite lengthy beginning to the series in a 20-minute episode, and the directing never felt like it was rushed. Overall, this was good. I will definitely continue to follow this show because DAMN the animation was pretty and Kufa just seems really interesting. I feel as though Melida is going to influence him greatly. |

| idk it wasn't the best but it had enough elements to make me interested in continuing to watch it... the next couple episodes will probably give me a better idea about the opinions of this one. |
| A little different than I remember, though I've only read the manga, but was surprisingly better than I expected too, at least visually. It at least added a little bit more to the action scenes than I figured we get from another magic school op mc surrounded by female characters show. Well if anything, hopefully it keeps up for at least those action scenes. |
| that was interesting lol adorable and hardworking girl, badass guy, let's see =D also a very pretty image to start the season  |
favorite "new girls" from fall <3 (lol i only watched these) ... click sig for older seasons  |
| Yeesh that was about forgettable, ill give it another episode or two but not expecting much out of this one |
BlakexEkalb said: This episode was ok. I didn't really feel engaged in the story at all or the problem the MC girl was having, not a good sign. FMmatron said: Not bad. I'm kinda getting Satsuriko no Tenshi vibes. Oh gosh no please... Short_Circut said: tee you if this was made by ufotable the rating would have already gone up by 1[/size] I mean I don't see why a good looking show wouldn't be rated higher, as animation is a key factor in a lot of shows and enjoyment for the audience. yea, but I'm just saying that animation tends to cause people to turn a blind eye on other things. Like if this show had godly animation, for instance, I guarantee there would be less of the "this is boring" comments |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
sunimi__ said: AnimeBW said: Oof, this is looking to be the trash of the season. Characters are annoying, faux attempts at depth are annoying, the direction tries to be artsy at times but there's no purpose behind it, and it's overall just really boring. The main guy's constant inner narration especially is coma-inducing. Well, I guess every season needs a juvenile edgefest or two, but I'll take Akame ga Kill over this any day. Definitely not the worst anime of the season, lol. It's only been like 1 episode, geez. How about worst first episode of the season then? Or year? This was pretty dreadful. Sure, it could get better — anything could — but I don't know why it would. The things done here seem like deliberate choices and are likely to infect the entire season. And if some of the positive comments I've read aren't trolling, then it seems like it has an audience, so why change? |
| Oof. Dislike. The first fight scene looked really good so I had high hopes going into it but it seemed incredibly rushed. Kufa or whatever going from teaching her one second (which he never actually even starts) to killing her and then back to teaching her / on her side in a matter of minutes. I was cringing so hard. |
| This feels above average. I like the animation and the main female lead Melida, but they threw a lot of stuff about the world and its society at us without context and is expecting us to understand. Hopefully the story structure and world buiding gets more tidy going forward and we get context as to what these things mean. |
  |
| looks pretty, but plot and directing sucks. so much tell and no show. wtf |
| traaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaash |
 |
| too many negative comments to this anime.. but im gonna stick as long as theres more sword fighting scenes its cool for me and entertaining :P |
sunimi__ said: I feel like the pacing was definitely rushed in comparison to the manga adaptation and light novel which was a let down. Also because of the episode's time frame limit some little details were left out, the animation is very pretty imo and much much better than I expected so there's that at least. i agree with you on the pacing. the pacing feels rushed as well as the scenes shown. it seems the only the important scenes were shown. it was very mediocre and the va for the vampir sounded very robotic. |

| live posting: starting off with the action, huh? well, the aspect of a city in a "lanturn" looks preety cool aww, injured cat! "Vampir", really? pfft and here's another pale blonde girl with red eyes Hello new Yue okay so he's a teacher and a bodyguard. oh wait "special permission", guessing all girls academy then o no, mean girl (and this is pacing along rather quickly, huh?) o no, shy friend that stays out of bullying so it doesnt happen to them as well.. or family member nice, halloween-y Heartless hehe, him wanting to see her acknowledged seems fatherly, but this is anime, lol. This is gonna be a ship. o damn, them roses. whelp, she shed herself nice soft ED~ aww, and it worked!! oh dam, i used to have a friend named Aimee like that, lol im guessing it was lancanthrope blood or something ~~~~ def watching more~ |

| I cringed so hard on the "My Little Lady" line |
 |
| Don't know about most other people here but I quite liked it, surprisingly compelling. I took a real liking to Melida in just the first episode, she's a determined, strong willed young girl. She struggles through all the suffering that life has put her through just to believe in the small hope that she can gain the power to achieve her dreams. Towards the end, in the scene with those demons I had the same opinion as Kufa, I want to see the day where Melida is acknowledged. Love Melida's design, blonde hair and red eyes. Sign me up, her hairstyle is somewhat reminiscent of Alisa from Trails of Cold Steel who I also love. Loved the final sequence where Kufa helped awaken Melida's mana, though I'm curious how he did it. I suppose we'll know next episode. The transition to the ED as Melida falls was fantastic. I wasn't even planning on watching this show but I kinda got baited by Melida's design and now I'm pleasantly surprised. Looking forward to more. The "My Little Lady" is definitely a little weird. I might've preferred they just stick with Ojou-sama. xD |

| i don't have a strong opinion on this show besides the animation looking decent for action . felt like despite all the things said in such a short time i hardly understood anything and why it mattered and main dude is the most fake ass untrustworthy gent |
 |
| I truly enjoyed this firs episode! I like that assassination theme, with guild! The MC is really is badass with figth at start, and he also is a gentlemen with girls, not like some cliches, and her mana power while saving Melida was really awesome! Melida is really cute, and her encounter with Kufa was beautiful, she was kinda bulied at academy towards not having mana control! I am glad Kufa decided not to assassinate her, and dont know why he made her get mana manifest, dont know what that kiss as made! I hope she get well with her cousin, she looked like a good girl with a good personality! Animation was really good for me, and the design and characters art were also really good! I wonder if Kufa will encounter that red hair girl! |
 |
| I mean...it was okay...I guess? Idk, some good stuff and some cringe stuff. "My Little Lady" will always cringe me out lmao Visuals for the most part were actually really good. Some scenes feel a little awkward and the animation felt janky at times. The plot so far seems very generic. |
| The only let down for me so far is when she is on balcony and fell, in the manga the author give a detailed for it. Everything else is OK for me, especially how they execute the kiss in anime version. |
