I wonder what she meant by that. It was a joke, Moegi retorts her saying he's not dead. I know that it was a joke, but there's no reason for her to do that. I think there must be something behind it. It's most likely referring to a change in him that fundamentally altered the way he acts, and is most certainly related to either the great cataclysm they occasionally hint at and his founding an empire. Maybe he actually grew a pair somewhere . . . |
| I wonder if Koujo also had a daugter/son with the other girls aside from Himeragi and Asagi |

| So is Moegi really Asagi's daughter? Is kojou the father? Tsk2..i thought Moegi would be as hot as Asagi..i guess not. And that infamous line of Yukina...oh please not again...sheeesh. Asagi wasn't able to confess. Bummer! |
 |
| This last arc was...how should I put it. It elevated the series and raised the stakes -- now we know Kojou will eventually be founding an empire, after all -- but it also threw this series into a place it didn't necessarily need to be in. I mean, this foreshadows something that's so far into the future and so overwhelming that I can't see how upcoming arcs will be able to match this one. And I don't know how popular this series is, but it definitely looks like it's angling for a second season, which I hope it gets. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of fan service in this series, 99% of which were pretty much there for no apparent good reason. But I personally have found it to be fairly enjoyable. It certainly could've done better with the way Kojou fights (which is to overpower everything in his way), but I like the world setting and yes, even the characters. During this arc where there was more emphasis on the romance between the two it's even better because we're taken out of the silly harem routine. As for speculations, we can be somewhat sure that Kojou's not the same person in the future, or at least his relationships with people aren't the same. We've seen some foreshadowing of that with how Reina almost felt bittersweet to see Kojou interact with people in the present. Another speculation we can make is that Kojou might actually enter harem end later on based on the fact that Moegi is Asagi's daughter. Well, unless Asagi got together with someone else (which is highly questionable), she can't have a daughter. And if Kojou ended up with both Asagi and Himeragi, there's no saying who else he could've ended up with. Anyway, here's looking forward to more questions being answered in season 2. |
| wow that ending is screaming for season 2 Thank you for not cliff hanging. So I guess we know who he ends up with now eh, . .. 8D |
 |
| I'd like to see Kojou and Sayaka's daughter....someday. |
| Kojou probably had daughters to all of the girls who allowed him to suck their blood. I'd like to see La Folia and Kojou's daughter. Maybe she's as beautiful as her mother. So does Kojou some like the ruler of the whole island now? Because the arc is titled, Emipre Of The Dawn. Just a guess anyway. I also demand a sequel to this, although the ending was perfect. |

Yven said: Worse shows like Maken-ki and Highschool DxD gets to have second season, why Strike the Blood can't when it's clearly better!? Sorry but Highschool DxD remains superior to this series. Strike the Blood is decent but I don't think it's on par with Highschool DxD yet. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Ahhhh god dammit I knew Aiba's god damn computer AI was god damn evil. What's his god damn name? Mogwai? I miss La Folia. Great show, super consistent the whole way through. The action was enthralling and they managed to develop such a huge cast really well. And the girls were gorgeous. I think Strike the Blood is really the top of its genre. 8.5 / 10 for me. |
antonn said: BGMaxie said: antonn said: Meaning?ie senpai/10 Saa. This exchange tho. |
| Surprisingly the scenes after the ED song were good. Honestly, I would not mind a season 2 at all but I have no problem if it never gets one (LN and anime sales are good tho). |
 |
| Well at least it seems like Moegi is older than Reina so her did Asagi first :P |
 |
| Fuck, that was awesome for an ending. At first I had my misgivings about the time traveling, since it felt the harem aspect wouldn't end up staying like that into the future (ie., he picked Himeragi). But the guy makes an Empire and possibly has many lovers?! That's just great. |
Yven said: Worse shows like Maken-ki and Highschool DxD gets to have second season, why Strike the Blood can't when it's clearly better!? what...... I understand the maken-ki thing, but saying that strike the blood is better than high school dxd is such a blasphemy. |
 |
| Damn, another "This is our fight" line, seriously? Doesn't Kojou ever learn that after saying "This is my fight", the annoying girl would reply the exact same f*ckin line all over again? I wish the future could still be altered and he'll end up with Asagi! I got pissed that Asagi's confession got interrupted! -0.50 for the repetitive "this is our fight" line. Another -0.50 for the annoying female MC. -0.50 for Asagi's lack of importance in the show and being the only one in the group unaware that Kojou is the 4th primogenitor vampire. Despite these, I still enjoyed the anime. 6.5/10 |

| That was an interesting final episode. Had a little bit of everything in it. They even gave sexy little Nina and La Folia brief screen time. One thing that's really surprising me is the reception of the show on MAL. Back when this first started airing people were like "fuck this unoriginal garbage" blah blah. But now that it's ended, even the people who have rated it as kind of average giving it a 5 or 6, still didn't really dislike it and seem to approve a second season. That just seems bafflingly rare to me. For people to decide they didn't think it was anything spectacular, but still enjoyed it for what it was and want to see more. Personally, I thought it was a great show. The cliché "don't call your teacher chan", and "nooo senpai, this is our fight!" every episode was always enjoyable. The fights weren't bad, and the familiars looked awesome. The fanservice was great (then again it's hard to make fanservice bad) and they did a good job of making all the girls of the harem sexy. The biggest downside for me was the fact that they seemed to jump around quite a bit and threw a lot of terminology and facts at you, without really explaining them too much. Especially during like the Blue Witch arc. When all is said and done, I thoroughly enjoyed it and ill be looking forward to a season 2. Judging from the loose ends they left, plus LN material and the fact that they've been advertising the hell out of it to the point where I assume it's pretty popular in Japan, I'll be betting on a season 2 in the future. |
| THIS IS OUR FIGHT was about to give this series a 5/10 but she SAID IT AGAIN HOLY SHIT 4/10. |
| welp, that ended fast... gonna miss Akatsuki's harem, especially La Folia... <3 |
 don't worry, i know IMG tags are turned off...i'm just lazy to change my sig... xD |
| It's kinda like Kojou just says "This is my fight." just so that Yukina can continue her "This is our fight." line like usual. Man, I wonder who became Asagi's husband in the future. And I just realised Asagi still doesn't know that Kojou is the 4th primogenitor. It's all over... Wouldn't mind watching a season 2 if it ever comes out. |
| I mainly see the animes... so don't blame me for not knowing about the Manga/LN |
| Yawn.. why did this drag for six months? This was the epitome of boring. Literally nothing new provided. The whole story (what story anyway..) was a repeat of the first 3-4 episodes: a)New love interest of Kojou gets fcked for some reason. b)Kojou gets angry. c)Kojou beats anything. d)Love interest leaves (but what a surprise - comes back later) This might have been coll if it aired during idk..the 80s? This could have ended in 5 eps, or stretched with fan service to 12, but 24? 24 episodes for this? Why? Every secondary character was empty. However, props for having a MC that wasn't being a little bitch with his harem, he was active towards it. Art was boring - music was boring. Even the last minute hint for s2 was boring; *fingers crossed* we never get one though. 3/10 |
| Samesdday - learn to drop things you don't like. SkyTate said: It's kinda like Kojou just says "This is my fight." just so that Yukina can continue her "This is our fight." line like usual. Maybe Kojou likes hearing her say that. That would be an interesting twist on things. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| If I were to count it I'm pretty sure I was more pissed and annoyed than entertained but.... *sigh* 6/10 |
 |
| I think this would have been a better show from the beginning if it had begun with Reina as the MC. I thought it was pretty foolish of her to make it so obvious in the last ep that she was Yukina and Kojou's daughter from the future since time travel issues and all that, but apparently even calling Yukina MOM wasn't enough spelling out for them. At this point I'm a bit concerned about their observational skills. "this is my fight" "no, this is our fight" (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ 3/10 BYE STB |
 |
| *slow clap* Dat harem. Dem cheesy lines. Lame ending Not as good as Tokyo Ravens. 7/10. |
| Hyuga Junpei: “Yeah… I’m confident… Because my teammates will help me out! I can shoot confidently.. because it will be okay even if I miss!” Kagami Taiga: “I don’t know about being the bad guy or whatever. It’s only in stories where titles like that decide the loser. This is our show. We’re the ones who are writing the script.” |
Yven said: Worse shows like Maken-ki and Highschool DxD gets to have second season, why Strike the Blood can't when it's clearly better!? Whoa whoa whoa.. Maken-ki is shit that's for sure but High School DxD is 10x better than STB!! The girls are far more attractive too =p antonn said: ie senpai/10 LOL.. of course you can't have the last episode without that quote.. This show is my guilty pleasure. It's mediocre in every aspect but I still have fun watching it. Mostly stayed for the girls though.. 5/10 |
 |
| Again with that line arg. Pretty good show overall. |
| Wow lots of people seems to downgrade this anime because of the "No, senpai this is our fight". oh well, personally this was a fun anime with an extremely good ending for me so 8+/10. Kojou did get his harem and had a daughter with each of the girl since Reina nearly said 'Kanon-nee..'. Moegi is also kojou's daughter (I checked the wiki and light novel). Moegi did say Kojou-kun but Reina also call him like that before. I am really happy to see that Kojou actually got a Harem, it finally ended the rivalry between the fan's of other girls. The thing I find good and bad about this ending is that we already know that Kojou, Himegari, Yaze, Natsuki , Asagi and the other characters will not die, in the upcoming events. If their is a season 2, I won't have to worry about them and I won't feel the thrill of the cliffhangers. Note: This is my point of view. I didn't mean to hurt anybody feelings or point of view. |

| I did not mean to harm anyone feeling or criticize the point of view of other. These are my point of views. |
| "No Senpai, this is our fight!". It finally broke me.. |
 |
| [8/10] "No, senpai this is our fight" line makes me wanna bet money everytime kojou say's his "this is my fight" line.. I personally love harems, supernatural and OP MC. LMAO also liked how they find a way on putting in a story for every harem member kojou gets. Art was nice but there are moments when it is not nice. Music was errrr adequate Story was nice too i want to know more about the future stuff............ btw Moegi is kojou's daughter too. i have a question itching in my mind, is Asagi's hair really blonde i mean we saw a flash of kojou where he saw Asagi with black hair on ep 8 right? |
| The dragon was slayed, woot! This series had a lot of potential and I feel like it was all wasted. I hope there is a second season to this series though. Great series!!! |
 |
koroX said: what the hell was that part about Kojou dying in the future, but then Moegi said he coundn't die? I also don't get this line? What did see mean I got to see my dad before he died? The only thing I can guess is that he has a personality shift after he becomes the true 4th, and is no longer the carefree guy he is now. Also curious, will Koujo make his wives/lovers vampires at some point, because he won't die neither will their kids, and I don't see what is stopping him from turning them into vamps. |
| I enjoyed this anime series, and I hope that there is a season 2. I personally think that Kojou will have a child with the women that he drank blood from. Who knows, but I hope that we get to see more of this Akatsuki Empire. :3 |
| I forgot to mention, Kojou's 11th familiar is fucking hot. lol |
| oh Moegi-chan. yeah much possibly Asagi's daughter. I wish they would continue releasing for S2. |
| "A sword is a weapon, Kenjutsu is the art of killing, Whatever pretty words you use to speak of it, this is its true nature." Otaku always defy common sense. nferocious76 |
| I want to see that future. Season 2 please. |
| Not a bad anime, but I didn't think it was incredibly great either. Certainly kept my interest long enough to finish it after keeping up with it all these weeks. Defiantly think it's more suited for the young teenage boy who enjoys over powered characters and a bunch of females who are just wet for the one guy. Wouldn't say no to watching a second season, would have like to see Kojou's mom a little more as well as what she was doing with his sister in one of the previous episodes (was a while, can't remember exactly what was going on in those scenes.) |
| A very consistent show throughout it’s entire run. StB’s the kind of anime you can easily decide whether you’ll continue watching,which means enjoying it for what it is,or drop if it’s just not your cup of tea. 6/10 Tokyo Ravens was still better though :P |
