| I must say, this episode was full of EPIC WIN...aside from the censors lolz Why can't this be a 24 episode show? They'll NEVER be able to make a great ending with only 5 episodes left. I wish Seikon no Qwaser was less though lol |

Apocalypz said: 1. Why the hell did Mina and Akira fight? Because he broke his promise to her about always being by her side and stuff. If he ever broke it she would "feast upon his flesh" or something like that lol 2. Why the hell was she crying afterwards after they fought? Because she realized that Akira remembered their promised, or at least promised to never forget it again. 3. Why the hell was Yuki just standing there? Because she can 4. Why the hell was Akira knighted immediately after they fought? I think it's because he's reached his potential. 5. WHY THE HELL IS THIS SHOW GIVING ME A MINDFUCK?! Because its SHAFT. WHY THE HELL?!?!?!Because Chuck Norris said so. . |

| I've been a fan of SHAFT for 3 years now. This is it. They are off my favorites list. RAGE! This episode was an epic failure of an epic win. The source material is golden and I can't help imagine that if Vampire Bund was done by a studio like Brains Base, or Madhouse, or Production I.G., how TRULY EPIC it would be. But alas, that's never gonna happen and all I can do is complain. But I'm not complaining just because SHAFT is not following the manga. They aren't even trying to make a good coherent adaptation, which leads to killing our eyes with ridiculous splashes of colors. noteDhero, desolato, and EternalDreamer all said what I wanted to already, so go read their posts. :) Also, Meiren sucks! WTH?! She's a stupid plot device to stop Mina's awesome murder of that idiot of a vampire and make Mina seem like some weak little girl. PUH-LEASE! Get rid of the stinking candy girl!! Finally, a lot of fans are thinking the last 5 episodes will be so-called original plot, aka filler. But I think SHAFT is going to butcher the Nanami arc. Why? Because I think Meiren is a follower of the leader of the next arc, but I won't give her name or anything to spoil you. :P Watch SHAFT prove me right. ;) Apocalypz said: Okay, I watched this yesterday and had time to think about it, but I am still confused about this damn episode. Maybe it's because I didn't read the anime, but I was so damn lost by the end. 1. Why the hell did Mina and Akira fight? 2. Why the hell was she crying afterwards after they fought? 3. Why the hell was Yuki just standing there? 4. Why the hell was Akira knighted immediately after they fought? 5. WHY THE HELL IS THIS SHOW GIVING ME A MINDFUCK?! WHY THE HELL?!?!?! If someone could help me figure out answers to these questions, I'd be very appreciative. The answer to all of your questions is that this is SHAFT and the advice I advise you to take is to read the source of all greatness, also known as the original manga! XP |

| Damn, the production values really hit a new low this week. I know you're trying to save money for Bakemonogatari, but what the hell SHAFT? Ending of the ep was pretty decent, though. |
    |
| The episode events wasn't bad. Actually this episode could have been great but Shaft completely destroyed it. Those cheapskates just put still pictures in the mix of red images and made one big bullshit. What could have been one of the best episodes became one of the worst because of Shaft. There is no excuse for this shit they made. Shaft should be ashamed. I have seen armatures making small videos on the internet doing better work. Even the rain at the start was a still image and wasn't moving. This whole episode should be made all over again for the BD version. And STOP the fucking eye scenes!!!!! Am stopping because am pissed and i will just start shouting about there mothers if i continue. Am going now to read the manga because every hope about the anime has been lost. BTW, WTF!! was the gold Mina all about? There way of censoring? Fucking stupid censors. |

That kicked so much ass I watched it three times. |
 In spoiler my anime list for now. |
| I haven't read the manga and I was somewhat enjoying this anime. This episode however, was really bad. I felt like I was watching some really cheesy B horror movie. Nothing flowed at all. |

| I would have to agree that this was probably the best episode of this series so far, yet it's a major disappointment due to the fact that Shaft did such mediocre animation on it and of course censored it. I thought this show was supposed to be uncensored..episode 2 you see Akira rubbing up Mina's naked body and then the next episodes they cover her up with steam and black fog. Other than that, the story was excellent in this episode and it was thoroughly enjoyable..however, I will probably re-download it when the DVD/Blu Ray's get subbed just to see it finished and without the missing scenes/censors. |
| Ok™ |
| WTF ? Glowing body ? Most ridiculous censorship ever ! Great episode anyway, with some interesting development we didn't see in the manga (at least, not in the related chapter) |
| Now i get this "Lava Golem Mina" thingie, pathetic.... -_- But Akira and Mina's fight itself wasn't so bad. |

| Sorry to say, but I hated this anime's manga version, thus I can't see the bases of manga being 'better'. I tried to read it due to some people who is saying 'manga is better than this shit'. However, manga is still bad. I mean, what's so great about Vampire Bund Manga? I don't get any single of that. Though I agree that this anime adaption is a lot worse, due to unfinished choppy powerpoint slideshow crap created by our glorious SHAFT. Story makes no sense, art is disgusting, censor is laughable; there is nothing good about this anime. This is getting closer to dropping. But, I will never remove my fandom towards SHAFT just for this. First, it is not endless eight. Second, I don't care about them butchering the manga, since I didn't like it anyway. |

Goo4 said: Oosran said: ^What exactly is so bad about the manga? D: Art is not my cup of tea. Concept is twilight like. Story is uninteresting. Enough said? I would like to see you draw better. Oh yes it has vampires and werewolves. So twilight like.....Definitely not like those hundreds of movies about vampires and werewolves that came before twilight. What exactly is similar about these shows? One is about a girl having an unhealthy obsession with a freak of nature (Besides drinking blood those faggots have nothing in common with vampires. You could call them esper boys and that would be a more accurate description) and the other is about a vampire princess raising a nation of vampires. Tons in common there.... Just because you don't understand the story does not make it uninteresting. Therefore to summarize  |
 "I always take life with a grain of salt, ...plus a slice of lemon, ...and a shot of tequila." |
| I knew there would be someone more thorough than me after that statement XD *salutes Aidan with pride* |

| So this totally felt like the last episode, or the end of an arc. And why did Mina and Akira fight again? Because he broke the promise? Kind of pointless. Also; censors suck ass. |

Darklight0303 said: twilight like?.......................... ........................................ ........................................ .......................are you smoking something?

Is it odd to say that I love all you people for making these forums interesting as f**k?(: |

| This adaptation is so stupid. I've never read the manga, so I'm saying this from watching so many other shows. Do people even like Shaft? |
 |
porkypink said: kerobear said: The fight between Akira and Mina was like EPIC ^^ So epic I thought the show ended since it seemed as if it was the last episode. like me. i liked the ending, but i feel sorry for Yuki a little. |
| The fight was actually good despite that I don’t like these censored scenes for Mika’s true form when she transformed. However, I liked her transformation instead crappy monster, at least. SHAFT has a decent job on directing even if the plot is good. |
Boy, I wasn't feeling this episode at all. I'm not buying into Mina & Akira's relationship at all. They're at each other's throats at one moment, someone gets impaled the next & everything's OK? And the editing was jarring, to say the least. Oh well, the end of this episode felt like a reboot of sorts. So I'll hang in there a bit longer. |
 |
| Huh? This seemed like the final episode! |
| WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!? I'm a little pissed off here. 1). Where did all of the guys that were in the church go? 2). Since when does getting your blood sucked feel good? I wonder if it was a translation error because the only thing that would make sense is being sired feeling good (turned into a vampire). 3). Why can't she fight with clothes on? A simple robe that's more like a bed sheet. Come on now. 4). He gets over all of the stuff she did just like that!? That's bogus. She did some unforgivable stuff. 5). Is this episode 7 or the last episode? What the hell? |

| What matters for me is not how many people compare it to Twilight, because those are just assuming "Twilight was a big hit, desho? Vampires are prepubescent girls' dream, desho? That werewolf kid in Twilight gets girls wet with his adonis belt, desho? This show has vampires... and werewolves, so this show is Twilight, deshooooo~?". What matters for me is not how many people find it morally wrong, graphically weak. I don't see any of them moving a finger about many morally wrong happenings which are not in an anime but in the world, so please, go be phony somewhere else. I would think they are serious if they didn't rate unbearable ecchi animes with weird animation high. So, for the anime. I think story adds something new with the idea of the Bund. We'll see how it'll add something new to the whole vampire scene tough. For me, the revolution of vampire stories is Twilight... and no, this time revolution does not have a good meaning. Thanks god this anime is not going from the path of Twilight so I find it rather enjoyable. For me, scenes that people tend to compare to Matrix are really working. I enjoy drawing of the anime throughoutly. Thus, it is good. Bite me if you are going to bother me with my grammar mistakes. |

| ok, I guess they were fighting because Akira had lost his trust in her, which meant he broke his promise. But WHAT IS IN MINA'S ROOM THAT NO ONES ALLOWED INTO!?! At one point the narration said he entered.. but I do not remember him going in there. Was it a chick getting her blood sucked?? They did show a flash of that earlier in the episode but never mentioned that Akira knew anything about it.. |

| The anime adaption of this keeps making me RAGE. |

| So... Mina's armor and wings are gone at the rooftop. Why?.. P.S. This is not a question meant to be answered. Edit: KanuTousen said: But WHAT IS IN MINA'S ROOM THAT NO ONES ALLOWED INTO!?! It's probably the "awakened form" of Mina. |
