This show was a well executed mediocre anime imo
I would have liked the world to be explained better but it was entertaining even though Himeragi was an extremely annoying lead

nice to see Kojou managed to clap some cheekz, got a kid with Asagi, and Himeragi, is it definitely confirmed that Moegi is his daughter?

How's that for a paradox? Daughter is the one who helps get her parents together? Sort of, anyway. And she brings back a replacement for Yukina's weapon that took 20 years to develop after Yukina broke her old one, and thus presumably received the new one and... my head hurts, but I don't care.

Lol XD Akatsuki has an empire in the future? Now that made me interested. I'd prefer a future arc over the present anytime :P

Well not bad. Ironically I thought this 2 ep arc had the best conclusion to an arc LOL XD The rest felt kind of rushed and meh.

The faces Kojou made this ep were pretty awesome. Finally he was drawn nicely without all the derp faces -.-

Lol'd at everyone esp Reina's reaction to Kojou biting Yukina in front of the audience XD

That gotta be awkward, like watching ur parents making out in front of u XDXDXD
Her reaction was funny.

And ofc cockblock for Asagi's confession with the phone getting cut -.-

All in all, good series. Could've been way better but okay I guess. 7.5//10

Loved the girls in this show though, esp La Folia, Asagi and Sayaka <3 :3

Wouldn't mind a second season. The world setting is pretty good. The execution was what's bad.

So right when Asagi was about to confess to Kojou, the phones disconnected, I don't know why I wasn't expecting such an annoying cliche. Anyway, this anime was a better than decent time killer. 7/10 overall.

Though I give it a 6/10

Damn, so Moegi is Asagi's daughter. That's disappointing but I figured as much. I'm probably alone on this but I found Asagi boring as hell from the beginning to the end. Worst girl in my opinion.


Yeah Asagi isn't my favorite I prefer Sayaka to all of the others Yukina was the worst for me she was just boring and annoying to watch.

Mini Nina, I just loled so hard when I saw her for some reason :3

All their faces while Kojou sucked Himeragi's blood were priceless.

Lol they just had to add the panties scene :P

That Tee-hee at the end :3

Damn the island became huge 0_0 He definitely made his own empire :P

A second season would be welcome.

I definitely enjoyed this Empire of Dawn arc. Confirms that Reina is the daughter afterall... I assume Moegi is the daughter of Kojou too.

Mogwai is some sort of enemy too. My goodness.

It was a fun ride, really love the music specially when battling, and the animation is really consistent with the character art.

9/10 for me, kinda got annoyed with the "This is our fight" line, would have been fine if it wasn't said so much.

Would welcome a Season 2!

I enjoyed this show from start to finish. I loved Kojou's harem. One of the better harems I've seen.

Empire of the Dawn (Empire of Akatsuki). Awesome.

I definitely want a Season 2 of this in the future. I'd give this show an 8.5/10.

Considering the "this is our fight" catchphrase only appears like every 3 episodes or so, i shudder to think how you complainers handle other shows that have them every single episode.

Overall, the series was great for me when Sayaka had a prominent role in the story, and average when she didn't. If Kojou has daughters with both Himeragi and Aisagi in the future, i can only assume (in my mind anyway) that he has a kid with her too.

I don't expect a second season, or at least not any time soon. It would be nice if there was though. This show was a decent watch for the last half year.

~~~ Empire of Akatsuki ~~~

Does Akatsuki ever say... "This is our fight."
I get the feeling the only time he'll ever say that is... actually nvm I can't even imagine him saying it.

Though I like the idea of ending the series his Himaragi's panties from episode 1

Woah... damn... that close-up on Reina's cleavage...

She's WAAAAY Bigger than I first thought.

This last episode was actually pretty strange and the beginning was a bit confusing. Oh and I get to say - I KNEW IT! For the other girl that looks exactly like Himeragi except with bigger oppais to be Himeragi and Kojou's daughter... so obvious. And i seriously want to find out who on EARTH is the father of Asagi's beautiful daughter, could it be Akatsuki as well???? LOL it would be pretty funny if it was, and he'd be damn lucky. Overall, I think this season has been one fun run filled with crazy things and fan service and less on a storyline since the MC and Himeragi practically got together on the first episode already.

This episode was actually not bad, i like the last part after the ending song. 5/5

Well another rushed fight, oh well. I wanted to see Vatler go all out. Moegi and Reina are cute. I wonder what Moegi's power is? What happened in the future? Did Yukina perhaps die and then Kojou had a daughter with Asagi? Maybe they had a threesome lol.

Still wonder who Meiga Itogami is? What did he mean by Priestess of Cain when he was referring to Asagi?

Kind of felt bad for Yukina in the beginning..
Kojou deserved that slap! Way to go, Sayaka. :)

Damn that phone company system! -.- Asagi was so close to confessing..
Meanwhile, Reina gets Yukina to reveal her true feelings.

Damnit Yukina. Wanted to see Vatler handle that magical beast. XD
Though, it's good to see her return. :)

Lol'd at everybody's reactions to Kojou taking Yukina's blood!
Reina's reaction was the best. XD

Noticed that Reina doesn't have to say much to activate her weapon, compare to Yukina.
Regulus Aurum strikes once again.

Why is Mogwai keeping connections with the villain?

Nice moments between Kojou and Yukina.

A little Reina fanservice in the end. Moegi is pretty good looking too!

Good series which could've been better. A second season won't be bad at all. :)

Yukina's cockblocking knows no bounds and her stick is the mightiest of might.

It ended. What can I say, Himeragi worst and most annoying girl. All others girls were great and I cannot simply choose one of the them (Asagi and Kirisaka were my faves though). MC was likeable and quite powerful and I liked it. Overall it was rather average show, worse than Tokyo Ravens but still OK. 6+/10

That was a fun ride, but the first half was somewhat better than the following, just throwing random terms and stuff at us for the sake of the plot, I enjoyed this harem anyway, i woudn't mind a second season,this show could use more La Folia's screentime.A rounded up 7/10. And of course, Himeragi HAD to spill out that fucking anticlimatic line for the last time ( Don't mind me, sometimes i like to nitpick about minor things)

Here we are then. The final episode of Strike the Blood.

How's that for a paradox? Daughter is the one who helps get her parents together? Sort of, anyway. And she brings back a replacement for Yukina's weapon that took 20 years to develop after Yukina broke her old one, and thus presumably received the new one and... my head hurts, but I don't care.

Finally a strong ending to a story arc - and it had a little bit of everything in it. The endings are the one thing that's been a bit lacking in this otherwise brilliant fun series.

I can't wait to get my hands on the light novels... but they are STILL out of stock (or half of them are, anyway). WHY?

And Moegi is Asagi's daughter? I wonder who the father is.

And... What was Reina saying about Kojou dying? Except he can't die and isnt dead?

Empire of the dawn... Or empire of Akatsuki... As in Akatsuki Kojou...


Em... Moegi is Koujo's daughter too. From her attitude towards Koujo, she calls him "Koujo KUN" which only koujo's family would call, same as nagisa, reina, and his mom as well. And she calls him "ano hito" that means her relationship with Koujo must be extremely close :)))) Anyway Moegi is older than Reina, that means koujo conquered Asagi first then Yukina :))

Wasn't much extra, the LN did make sure you know that Moegi had vampire fangs as well, the biggest clue was left in she uses the "kun" suffix while talking about him that's something only close family use.

THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION. DO NOT DISCUSS THE LIGHT NOVEL BEYOND THIS EPISODE.

Mod Note: diu613 above has posted a pretty reasoned argument as to why both Moegi and Reina could be daughters of Koujo. Confirming or refuting it based upon the LN would still be a spoiler though. And any discussion of Koujo's marital or relationship status, and his domestic living arrangements from the future would definitely be a spoiler... Borderline spoilers removed from above posts, speculation retained.

Please don't feed the trolls!
