Another bad ending :( really, thought more from vlad. He's too weak considering other enemies. 7/106/10
Hope season 2 (if it airs) be better, Hysteria mode is awesome.

Riko was locked, in a cell, for several years. With nothing to eat but rotten meat and muddy water. The only thing she had was the rosary that was given to her by her mother. She had to keep it safe. So she hid it to the only place she could. Her ass. Five long years she wore the rosary up her ass. You know how uncomfortable it is to have something up your ass for so long? To escape she had to leave the rosary behind, but she had the butler promise to her that he would keep it safe. So he hid the rosary in his ass. For 10 months the rosary was up his ass, day and night.

And now, this rosary is yours.

This episode definitely made me feel bad for Riko, and while I didn't really feel much towards her in the beginning I started to like her a little in this episode. She definitely looks a lot better with her hair down too. :U

I thought that Vlad's 4th spot was pretty obvious. All the other ones were so visible so you'd figure that the last one would have to have that mark too, and the only way that no one would've been able to see it would be because it was in his mouth. :U

Overall I wouldn't mind a second season. The show was pretty predictable and the fanservice was boresome, but it was actually pretty entertaining most of the time.

Bagonirix is the only user I see with any legitimate excuse for giving this anime less than a 5. Sounds like way too many folks are jumping on the hate bandwagon.

I give the series a 7.5/10, but I'm upvoting to a 10/10.

Not really, they're usually just average. Apparently anime fans in japan are not too thrilled about the show either. As the author is saying that they need more DVD/Blu-ray sales to get 2nd season and the sales figures weren't impressive.

As for this episode, who the hell is Kana? Why introduce someone from Kinji's past and not even give a hint before the season ended? Also, nice of them to mention if his brother was dead or alive, since that was the point of stealing the rosary for Kinji.

I think the end gave a hint as to what the special will be. It will probably be a fan service-filled beach episode, since Aria was trying on swimsuits.

Such a disapointmet of a show. I thought i was going to be something around Gunslinger with a little of IS harem fun in it, but it was just a sad excuse for fan service.
The story overall is just terrible and as adorable and the character design was, the personalities where annoying and just bad.

6/10 - The very sporadic good comedy kinda saves this from total failure.

The teacher also had a gun pointed at them and two trained wolves reared to attack if they tried to intervene.

I was a bit upset that Shirayuki and Reki were completely left out in the final two episodes.


I think it is kind of lazy to just write Shirayuki out of the show every time the story doesn't involve her. In the first four episodes she left, then came back to have an arc, then left again.

I don't understand your logic, some of the people speaking negative about this show are NOT haters....you have to be BLIND not to see how ridiculous this show is....

However, I'm an optimistic person who always looks on the bright side, so I think this show (Despite being horribly ridiculous) was actually very entertaining and had a GREAT cast of female characters...

Thus I gave it a 7/10......however you're giving it a 10/10 simply because you didn't like the haters....oh and no I'm not mad...

Not sure about Reki's role in second season. Her arc is especially long (longer than Aria's).
They have to clear Kana's and EU's arc in the next season. I doubt they will have time to spare for what comes after that.

Yeah, if they want to finish both EU arc and Reki's arc, it will be Vol. 4-7. I don't think it will be a good idea, seeing this season skips a lot already. Not to mention it will take at least 2 episodes to cover fillers following EU arc in Vol.5. They will have only 10 episodes for two big arcs.

What the hell?! That thing in the spoiler really happens in the LN?! Yeah, I'm actually O_O but not because of the epicness, but because it's awful! Was the writer high when he wrote this or he's a teen writing his first fanfic?! At least now I know that's not entirely J.C. Staff's fault that this anime was shitty, the original work was bad from the beginning!

And no, there's nothing that can save this anime. Not even Reki, because she's one of the worst and most blatant Mary Sue since Yuki Nagato. Hell no one is saved, especially the 2 main characters. Why they waited for Vlad to make his stupid villan speech and let him punch Riko?! Do they have a heart or a bit of compassion?! And let's not talk about Vlad's seiyuu "performance", when you do something like that, you'll never get another role ever again. Unless it's a comedy relief character.

3/10 And let's forget this crap.

Yeah, the sensei was predictably Vlad, I'd have been really surprised if the things turned out differently. We got enough fan service on Riko. We don't need S2. Definitely. This thing was no more than average and only in it's best moments. It was fun while it lasted, though. All these bloodlines. Many questions are left unsolved and there's no much of an ending in fact.

Wow alot of hate this season.
Geez stfu. if you dont like the anime then dont watch it simple as that.
Some people use trolling as an excuse to watch anime.Thats just stupid cuz your just ruining it for everyone else want to actually watch it.
If you hate a series just cuz someone else says its shit,thats pathetic. you cant even think for your self. if you hate it because a certain seiyuu plays a certain character(im not gonna say it, its obvious by now.) Thats even more pathetic.
And i know of most of the somewhat BS stuff it has.

Also for any one who cant pay attention to the forum let alone the anime:

For those who keep asking "Why is he a werewolf","How is that thing suppose to be a vampire"
A few guys in this discussion CLEARLY explaind it here. You've either got to be blind or stupid to not notice that some one has already answered your question.

I do have ONE complaint. If sensei was Vald, and Vlad was Dracula... why was Dracula a warewolf?
You clearly haven't read old Vampire stories. Werewolves and Vampires are heavily connected. Not only are werewolves familiars of vampires, some vampires can transform into a monstrous creature akin to werewolves, among other insane abilities.
As a matter of fact, the original Bram Stoker's Dracula could transform into a wolf.


Im not gonna rank it out of ten cuz i dont think any anime should be limited by numbers.

As for the second season its kinda controversial for me because I do want to see the next few volume(s) animated but at the same time I dont want it to get animated because it'll get even more hate and trolls.(Because of
alot of ppl will definitely bash it)

After EU is Reki's arc(which i really wanna see) but i dont want to get my hopes up since everyones gonna flip when they see who Reki's ancestors are.

The whole time watching this show i kept thinking, "Damn, i wish Shakugan no Shana III would come out." Aria just reminded me of Shana so much i couldn't stop thinking about it.

The series was OK. But it really catered to the fan service crowds. Lacked any real substance. The fact that they dropped so many cliched historical figures into the names of the character's ancestry was a big turn off for me. As bad as i felt it was, it did have a few nice moments though. So, I gave it a bumped up 7. It was more like a 6.5 in my book.

The OP changed yet again. I think that makes 4 different OPs. Interesting.

Absolutely horrendous anime. Shirayuki was nowhere to be seen in the last episode. You'd think they would show all the chars of the show in the last ep as a nice finale, but they couldn't even do that much.

As I stated in an earlier episode discussion (like 2 episodes back), if the teacher ended up being the main bad guy, I'm dropping the score. I must be some epic guy to have been completely spot on. Dropping score by 1.

Big wolf guy was making retarded sounds as he walked towards the good guys at a speed of 1 step every 2-3 seconds holding a metal thing, ready to swing, but not actually swinging. There's just sooo many bad points in this anime, I won't even list any more. I'm done with this. Can't believe I managed to sit through it all. Thanks JC Staff, for delivering yet another masterpiece after Yumekui Merry.

EDIT: Ok, so I read the discussion to find out who Kana is. LOL. I would consider watching the second season just for that.

Why do you think Aria is considered a failure in the Holmes family. In contrast, the "crappy" Tohyama Kinji is considered one the best of his family line and when using his ability he can outmaneuver any opponent, perform difficult and specialized tasks as if nothing and use deductive skills which pretty much put Aria to shame. In other words, Suddenly Holme's is the sidekick and Watson is the master detective. =p
