This anime apparently tries to be a comedy and well, sometimes it makes you laugh, it is not for everyone, yes, it has some references that you cannot catch at the moment etc ... etc ... I will continue to see the other 5 that uploaded to Crunchyroll

What the fuck happened there at the end. Mai got superpowers? I like how this anime incorporates some irl shots into it, the art style and everything looks so unique and ingenious.

Really liked this for some reason, concept seems really cool. Onto episode 3.

It's my first Mamoru Oshii anime and I must admit that the directing is amazing; I should watch more of his works.

Unfortunately, aside from that it's just the typical unfunny Japanese comedy. Nevertheless, if the characters' interactions will be interesting, I'll still enjoy it.

I didn't find this episode funny but I loved it anyway. It was so bizzare and Mai was amusing. Also I find it interesting that she changes personality according to the type of blood she drinks. It's a golden oppurtunity for Bamba to make her the type of girl she likes, heh.

This is certainly a unique show. Unfortunately it isn't resonating with me. The problem is that there is absolutely no substance or depth to the show or characters and the humor isn't enough to carry the show.
The death knell for me was Mai changing personality based on the blood she drinks. While somewhat humorous, what it did was absolutely destroy Mai as a character. Literally everything about her, her body, her powers, and her personality is now completely malleable and is defined by the scene she's in and not her as a person. Mitsugu at least has a strong personality that helps drives the scenes. Mai is just a prop used to make the scenes look exciting. To put it another way I know who Mitsugu is and what drives her. All I know about Mai is that she drinks blood.
I watched the next episode and it continues to treat Mai as a prop that is defined by what she eats and the people around her. So I'm out. There is a lot going on in this show. I just wish it wasn't so hollow.

Is so hard to watch. When you really want to watch, but almost every moment my fear of needle kick in,and my arm begin to hurt, just remembering the feeling of having blood taken out.

so Mais personality changes based on what blood type she drinks so much for there is no scientific basis for personality types base on blood types

So this episode didn't really do much except introduce the supporting cast and play around with the blood-type personality myth.

Mai switching between different personalities and getting drunk was fun enough though, I wish there'd been more of that.

Awwwwww my angel Banba wants her girlfriend to only suck blood from other pretty girls and no males. She is my good little lesbian ❤❤

And the Yuri vibes just getting stronger for every episode . My lesbian lovebirds was all over each other,,,YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

There are a lot of things I dont like in this anime to be honest. But the Yuri is there and are pretty strong. For that I'll keep watching

A binge of the Valentine's released episodes, and holy hell is it getting wackier and funnier, just like how Mamoru Oshii prefers his series to be (which hits all my laughter hips).

Bamba working at the dynamite Dr. Chihiro's infirmary, and what an "aggressive" advertisement...ONLY that it's NOT targeting their audience (which is girls). Sadly though, the Blood Donation Club itself is off to a bad start with Jinko's feud, even though this is used to support Mai's vampirism addictions.

Interesting that Bamba's various personalities change when the situation calls for it, but it definitely shows how to make it funny. Same with Mai when she drinks a coagulation of different blood types and demonstrates the ad-libbing.

Love the 4th wall breaking when Bamba and Dr. Chihiro did the whole blood type-based personality thingie. That Fallout reference though HITS SO HARD.

Demonstrate your love to Mai, Bamba! The Yuri love is getting stronger.

Anything goes, is this show's greatest strength, though the flaws are existent all around and may not tend to everyone's tastes.

04:36 ok we got a cosplayer, Kaoru Konno is instantly my favourite character in this series.

10:13 I'm glad they are discussing the blood type personality pseudoscience that's prevalent in Japan, but play the trope exactly for comedy purposes when introducing the new characters.

18:02 How many Fallout 4 references is the hot nurse going to make?

20:08 I see what you did there Mamoru Oshii, snuck in a Patlabor reference

Normally I'm one of those people that doesn't care about OP's and what they do, but damn that OP pisses over anything else this season. INcredible energy and animation.

Nami the Dance Club captain is the business.

Yeah that was awesome. I think there's a lot of little references here and there in this series so far.

Mai's personality is really changing because of the blood, and probably too much haha xD that final scene after she drank the cursed blood from irak was so weird, animals everywhere xD and damn actually this show's OST is great

Lots of weird humor and references, stellar art direction and creative composition, love this. The low score is pretty staggering.
