I actually thought this too...when she explained that it had to be "something with her cells in it" saliva was definitely not the first thing I would think of.

Though...if it had been hair I wonder if her hair technically still grows...

Definitely a weird anime. I’m intrigued enough to keep following it and see where it goes.

Solid, banter-filled first episode. The setting is interesting, too.

I am so glad this one showed up on my radar for whatever reason. Easy to understand why many people are already getting that "sleeper-hit-of-the-season" vibe from this one. I am pretty excited to see the story transition to Europe, since historical and literary figures of this period are at the very least entertaining when handled by anime. 

And, yes, the OP is delightful.

To be completely honest I thought that the dialogue was trying too hard to be quirky or weird, but well, I don't know what to expect from an anime with such a weird premise full of unrelated classical fictional characters. The visual direction is indeed very impressive so I'll keep watching, really looking forward to the appearance of a certain detective and his doctor sidekick lol.

I actually liked the dialogue a lot considering it had to establish the plot, the characters, and some worldbuilding and managed to do that while staying natural to the characters. A dialogue that "tries too hard to be quirky" for me would be like whatever the hell Marvel is producing nowadays, or Forspoken, or the latest trailer for the Fable remake. Now that's some horrible, cringy,"quirky" dialogue.

Don't mind me I'm just venting about these franchises.

I see nipple, where's that R+ rating? Come on MAL, don't be sexist now.

Otherwise, this looks very intriguing, has the potential to be an unexpected sleeper hit for me.

This is a weird show from the setting to the characters to the plot. The OP is very catchy and the characters so far manage to blur the line between creative and brutal. I hope this one ends up as a sleeper hit with all of these details in play.

Who would have guessed the first episode of an anime called "Undead Murder Farce" (or is it "Undead Girl Murder Farce") would have been so good? But that's what you get from the director of Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu and Kaguya Sama Love is War. It still might be hands down the worst-named anime of the Season but I made the same mistake with last season's surprisingly good "Dead Mount Death Play"

I like when anime visuals get abstract and go against the stylistic grain. But also land with very smooth and functional-looking battle storyboards and animation. I am also quite intrigued by these characters and the historically fictitious time period they find themselves in.

This is really interesting. If they do go to the romance route, they would basically nullify the most sad aspect about an immortal dating a mortal: the fact that the mortal will eventually die and leave the immortal alone. It’ll be a bit odd to see a dude dating a female head tho lol that is assuming they’ll get together before he finds her body.

Honestly the entire premise of this show is pretty unique, very pleasant surprise so far.

It's definitely interesting and has my attention for now. The background and imagery often changing during the a long conversation between the two/three characters felt kind of reminiscent of the Monogatari series.

I'm not sure how the novel/manga are but assuming they're still ongoing makes me worried the anime won't resolve anything but I hope that's not the case.

What an interesting first episode. Damn this will do a good job entertaining for this new season, for sure. A severed head, an oni-like man, and most importantly a YURI-like maid. Certainly am not focusing on the MAID even though she did bite her bottom lip a little the moment she hear a direct "saliva transfer" is going to happen. Well, anyway, am looking forward to the next episode.

A contract kiss but a kiss nonetheless. Automatic AOTS 😂

Seriously though, this seems like it could be the underdog of the season. The two mains seem like interesting characters.

Entertaining and creepy. I'll have whatever the creators of the anime are smoking -- it must be some trippy sh*t! I mean that kiss at the end. This looks promising, looking forward to see what this anime bring in the upcoming episodes.

Seems somewhat similar to High School DXD. Maybe there'll be recurring kiss-moments each episode. Will they both become immortal at the end?

Ahh, I see where this is going


Liked the ending song illustrations, it had a little classical "around the world with you" vibe. And I am guessing we'll be seeing the kisses or eventually something more than that.

I am really looking forward to this anime, looks very fun. I have one complaint, my brother in Christ, did she have to be fourteen?
That's almost certainly on the novel author, but surely that slight change would be fine, she can look and talk the same.
Nothing about her says to me "fourteen years old", she feels older than Satsuki Kiryūin(is it just me or do they look similar?), her actual age is almost a thousand, for what reason does the fact that her body is technically fourteen matter? Other than to bait pedos into buying merch obviously.

OK this was different as from what I was expecting.
Reading the description I was thinking it's the typical Britain or industrial age setting which vampire stuff got a special topic. Didn't expect an Edo age fantasy setting.

But wtf, how creepy must be it to kiss a beheaded person, just sick lmao.

I only have one question left.  If the maid could kill the "Onis Killer", then why doesn't she kill the immortal?  I believe that, as a puppet, she should not have the freedom to perform this act.  It's what I think.  I'm also enjoying this series for the camera angle decisions the director is using.  They are interesting angles.
I believe it's mentioned that only a demon can kill an immortal, and since the main guy is like more than half demon he could pull it off. The maid seems to be a normal human (at least for now)

Thanks! That seems to be it! The interaction of these three promises to be good from what the first chapter showed! 😁

  • The dialogue between the two protagonists resembles Nishio Ishin's style.
  • Also "the immortal mistress and her sword" setting is similar to Bakemonogatari.

Well, it would be more interesting for the plot if it didn't - it would serve nicely as yet another timer.

I saw OP and ED earlier and got interested.
I like Aya's voice..can't believe it's same as mitsumi from Skip & Loafer!!
Shinuchi feels bit unhinged but I liked his character and the quip with Aya..they're going to be interesting pair this season imo!

The first episode was a mix of quiet creativity, simple action, and a clear goal set from the start. I suspect it may be very good, or very bad.

This will probably be the best series of this season. Big hype. I haven't read the manga but I'm super excited to see where this goes!! I hope it doesn't turn into a generic shouenen fight-fest. That would make me very sad.

8/10! :D

It wasn't complex nor deep enough to merit a 10/10 but the wonderful dialog gives it an 8 : D.

I didn't expect to see another series anytime soon whose initial premise and setting reminded me so much of Tenpou Ibun Ayakashi Ayashi from 2006.

Which I mean in a positive way as a good thing, but just somewhat shocking.

This was by far the most interesting-looking series of the season for me and it seems to be delivering on my expectations. Doesn't look like anything I'm going to drop three or four episodes in.

There was too much flat dialogue at some points though. That's a sign of half-assed novel adaptation. I hope that levels out.
