great first episode. It really pulled me in.

I'm a little disappointed by the preview for the next episode. I was hoping this would stay away from the school setting but I guess it'll still be good.

I wish they could've spread out the whole vampie killings and him joning the army a little more. I don't know, it felt kind of quick. And the beginning was kind of boring, but it had some interesting moments.

Well I guess for a first episode it wasn't all that bad. Looking forward to the next one.

No opening yet. Damn, I had all this hype to listen to it after watching the trailers.

Dont worry! Minor spoiler but it ditches the school setting rather quickly!

Everyone knows what Mikaela was really doing on those manson visits and what he had to do to get those curry ingredients.

And now little bit dark humor for you:
Hey Mikaela, how far was the freedom for you? *smirks* At arm's length!

I like it sofar but it felt really fast paced. Abit confused why they were already waiting for him outside the vampire HQ/base.

also gotta say i enjoy the background art and it really reminds me of a game im currently playing, Bloodborne

will keep watching

Well let's see...
First off, the art. Yes, okay, it's relatively fluid but the designs themselves are so bad. The characters all look so lifeless and forgettable and the backgrounds are so basic despite the setting being relatively interesting. Cinematography was very basic and it had next to no weight to anything that happened at all. I thought it looked very average overall.

Starts off by killing all adults in the first 30 seconds of the episode. Vampires then took over in the next minute. Then it skips 4 years. Lmao

We follow a bunch of kids as they have their blood taken and they are in a society where THE EVIL HORRIBLE VAMPIRES HAVE ENSLAVED THE KIDS AND FEEL ABSOLUTELY NO EMPATHY FOR THEM AT ALL! MWAHAHAHAHA! Lmao

MC is Eren from AoT. That is all.

The kids are all perfect, adorable and wonderful because they are going to die later to shock the viewer. Seriously, how predictable can you get? I predicted all the kids and the blonde kid were going to die at the end of the episode about 3 minutes in.

Shocker, the Gay Vampire guy tricked the blonde kid. Yeah, totally didn't see that one coming. *Rolls eyes* Then all the kids die before I even got a chance to really get to know them so I was just laughing at the brutality of the situation. Lmao

Finally a group of uniformed people approach the MC, mentioning a prophecy that he will fight the vampires. The MC decides to join immediately. Kay. That came out of no where. Then it flashes forward ANOTHER 4 years. Lmao

It isn't as much like AoT as I thought, other than the whole, people being killed by an unstoppable force thing and the MC having the exact same personality as Eren. That and the fact that the ending of the first episode was very similar to AoT's where it ends with the MC experiencing something traumatic happening to his family.

This was such a cliche, campy and predictable first episode that relied entirely on shock factor to keep it "interesting". The characters are all lifeless, bland and forgettable. The visuals are average. The sound is very average. Horrible... Actually, it was laughably bad. I am going to keep watching just for that.


Pretty much summed up the first episode.

Decent first ep. The theme is overused and rather cliche, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

MC os your typical shounen MC but has tsundere side (I think?) lol. Ship him with Mika and Akane instantly XD (too bad they has do die....or is it just looking that way? I believe Mika has more important rules later though. It's hard to believe that a character like him died early).

ALL OF THEM ARE SO CUTE <3

While the kids dying was a bit of awe moment i found the first episode quite underwhelming...standard 3 episode rule for me but if i am not impressed by the 3rd episode i am dropping it


same, i found this whole ep so damn cheesy tho.
1) retard mc that cant adapt in a new environment and gets everyone killed ugh every time he opened his mouth i hoped the blond dude or something else would just kill him
2)ofc humans above 13yr survived what miraculous crappy excuse will they have for that.
3)and the preview amfg the whole world went to shit and first thing the new society does is build a freakin school are u kidding me
4) dont even get me started on the uniform the mc was wearing

Complaining about no memorable characters? You only met one really. It was quick paced and subtle, but I thought this was just a little bit of an epilogue to give the setting and our MC a reason for his resolve, and it did just that. I don't think they were trying to get emotions or shock value. They just wanted to set up his character. I think writing like this has potential. Hopefully our MC has matured an loses that Tsun attitude he has. And I'm looking forward to seeing how it plays out. Could do without a prophecy gimmick, and the preview of a school makes me wonder though.....

The OP was Ok.

I thought the start was a bit boring, but not to bad, then all of his 'family' died made it a bit more intresting.

Seems like there is a way to surivive the virus, cause people older then 13 manage to live outside.

Overal pretty good first episode.

While being a little exaggerated and cancerous, this is quite accurate as a resume of the first episode. I heavily disagree about the art however. The character design may be vapid, but the artstyle is sharp and detailed, particularly the backgrounds, as they gave off a very Ghibli-esque feeling. The directing was average.

Great introduction. I do not remember the beginning part being shown in the manga, so that was a nice little touch. Reminded me of World War Z with everything falling apart almost instantaneously.

Everything was set up really well, they gave a really good intro to Yuu and Mikaela, entailing their tragic past (especially Yuu's). Yuu is an interesting character, so I look forward to seeing his growth throughout the anime.

I also liked how they set up the atmosphere with only little subtle moments of music, it made the setting seem more eerie like the manga. Then when Ferid was laying waste on those kids, was just so sad. Akane (I wish we actually got to know you!) :( I loved the music going on there too, fitted the situation pretty well.

Yuu pulling the gun on Ferid was pretty cool, but he was fucking lucky that Ferid was distracted with Mikaela and that Ferid is very nonchalant, otherwise Yuu wouldn't have stood a chance.

And the animation was fantastic. I'm glad they're still keeping that water color-like background like they did with Rolling Girls in this show! It fits really well!

And I wished their as an ED, but I can understand why they didn't have it at the same they did. I thought it kind of added to the atmosphere and tone, just having it go to credits with the wind blowing in the background. Also it's kind of better introducing some characters before showing an ED or OP anyways. Plus, technically the OP or ED could have spoilers I guess because.... you know....

But at the same time, everyone pretty much knows that anyways so..... lol

Anyways, I cannot wait for next week and can't wait to see Yuu take down some horsemen!

It seemed to me like it was just sort of insincerely going through the motions of being edgy and depressing, almost emotionally immature. The poor pacing made everything fall flat for me.

I wasn't sure why I thought so little of it when it did have potential until I saw the preview after the credits... how the shit does he go to high school? This isn't AoT 2.0, it's Ao no Exorcist 2.0.

After watching it subbed I realized that they skipped the part where Mika and the other kids also mentioned they also had a traumatizing past, such as Mika being abused by his parents


Well there is a fair amount of times of Yuu recalling the past during the first half so I wouldn't be surprised if they showed this in one of the future episodes.

The cook curry part isn't that weird, Japanese curry requires little more than chopping vegetables and boiling water.

The episode was predictable but it was still ok. Nothing mind blowing or anything of the sorts. I have a fair bit of question and I hope I get my answers like why does the virus affect only those older than the age of 13. The next episode preview has me worried because I don't see the point of building a school when the world is in ruins. Seems really unnecessary to me.

I'd say it has a bit of both.

I don't know but I get the vibes that this anime is going to be a hit among the Fujoshi.

The writing of the story is so Cringeworthy, annoying characters, and this is the worst anime of the season.

A strong first episode, it kept me interested from the start until the credit started rolling. The backstory was pretty cool and so far i'm liking the main character. Im definitely gonna keep on watching this, just a bit sad it's only gonna be 12 episodes but I guess that's understandable since the manga only have 30 chapters so far.
