Sayuri so fine.

lol Guren asked Mika to wait 20 seconds before he attacked. Mika is smarter than the Turtle Man from Punch Line.

Oh, no. Guren got stabbed. I'm sure he has plot armor.

Wow. Yuu stabbed Mika.

lol one good thing about this show is the war between humans and vampires... but what good is war when they'll only show still-shots of people fighting? This is anime for a reason dammit, animate them!

I don't even care about Mika tbh. I don't know his story and besides he's a vampire now so he's pretty much dead anyway. I don't remember hearing anything about a human who became a vampire who became human again except in that one movie. Daybreakers I think.

I don't really understand Mika, how does he expect Yuu to accept him when he's openly fighting for the vampires? Was he planning on straight up lying about it? And why does he refuse the human blood, while having no qualms about killing people? If he's to be a killer anyways, what difference does it make if he's a vampire or not? So far the only answer is that he's arrogant. Hopefully future episodes will give us more to go on. But maybe it's a futile effort to try to decipher a wildcard character in this series.

Despite the vampires being boring as usual (looking at you, Ferid), the episode itself was decent, with plenty of spectacle, which varied in execution from pretty bad to pretty good. The gang even had a nice moment at some point, so that's cool. And the final scene was animated beautifully. Unfortunately, the idea of Guren dying leaves me completely cold.

I'm a horrible person, but I laughed when Yuu stabbed Mika... I was waiting for something like that to happen. Does Yuu just look at his enemies' chest and not at their faces?


His big fluffy hair just happened to obscure his perfect little face

It is kind of ridiculous though

Lmao, both their faces when they see the other.
I wonder if Guren's actually dead, that stab looked pretty close to his heart.

Guren is the best character in the entire anime. In reality, someone like that should be absolutely respected with every fiber of your being. He seems sinister and difficult but actually he cares so much about his friends, and son, Yuu.

So cursed weapons kill vampires and Mika just got stabbed with one. Is it not actually going to kill him because he isn't a full vampire?

Why do they want to retreat? What will that solve? Their aim should be to kill the vampires in Shinjuku, especially now that they've got more elite reinforcements. The antagonists having plot armour because the writer doesn't want to kill any of them off (for some reason) is something only the viewer would know, not the characters themselves. They should believe they have a chance of killing them.

I am definitely expecting too much from this boring, run of the mill anime. (Some fucking balls maybe, what the hell, how can you take no risks at all, what is this bullshit?)

Why not create more characters than you absolutely need and show some actual stakes? Example: setting up Guren 2 and having Mika kill him - just to establish that he's ~cool~. Or just having Mika slaughter some humans to up the stakes and make him less boring. Or to actually show what Mika is thinking at all. It's magical, really: the characters keep blathering on and yet I have no idea whether Mika would kill a person, or a vampire, and if he'd do the latter, what the consequences would be.

Hell, at least let one of the core team members get injured! Are they really this badass whilst having zero experience? WHY? This is so fucking boring. I had hoped to get hyped; to get back to the franchise I used to love. Perhaps AoT has spoiled me, but this just ain't it.

Also, hilariously, the battles are just... really awkward. It's so silent! And while that's more realistic than hype AoT music, those songs build up hype like nothing else. Here it's a few clangs, another ten minutes of dialogue, a puff of weed from weed guy and a swish from shuriken lady, and another ten minutes of dialogue. Not hype at all.

Guren takes drugs? A-whaaaat? Crazy. (Crazy that you think I will find that cool, manga author.)

Mika asks whether he should give them some time to chat - after he has waited for a minute and a half straight, watching while Guren committed doping, and not even bothering to do anything about it even as all the panties on the field became wet from pissing themselves like little babies over him taking a pill.

Mika has been pulling his punches. While in a deathtrap. While supposedly trying to kill somebody. Right. I wonder: what would that accomplish - besides not killing one of the main characters of course.
Here's an easy recipe for you! Just let one of them die! Set the scene up so that Guren is fighting that grandpa and let Guren's squad fight Mika without Guren. And then... just kill one of them! Ideally, the lady. We've seen her on screen so there would be a tiny amount of caring for us at least. At least that's something.

Also, the fact that the ENTIRE MILITARY has no better backup than a group of babies that are in the field for the first time?! No words. Make it make sense.
Mika waits ever so kindly for the baby squad to run up to him before he thrusts his sword into Guren.
Of course he does. Why, as a vampire, he couldn't possibly hurry the fuck up, actually properly get a stab through Guren-guts, yank it back out, I dunno, throw him at the wall for maximum damage or something, and then jump away from the screeching baby trying to launch itself at him?! Nooo, Why bother. Better die instead.

3/10 episode - just because it's so pretty.
