Pretty good last episode. Hopefully, there's going to be a second season, in the near future.
Overall, I pretty much enjoyed this anime. Gets a nice 8/10.

Definitely looks towards a next season, especially since for all we know the main characters, including the evil kid, may still be alive. So hopefully that will be soon...

I too liked this anime rather well though, especially due to the mix of humor, action, and specifically on that last point vamipiric battles!

It was quite a nice (and short) show, with lot of vampiric action and a building up romance between Jirou and Mimiko.. 'Have to admit, there're still many questions left and the possibility to continue the story also exists, but I think it's hardly probable they would produce another one..

There would surely use, for example, the whole storyline about hongkong being the tomb of this "black blood/kowloon king" - then some stuff about guarding it, his ressurection, the great battle at the end of the series.. it would very likely fill another 12eps

Gee I dont know. I guess maybe more about kowloon children, kowloon king, jirou's past, jirou's and mimiko's romace, also, cassa and her siblings, the eleventh yard. and most inportantly, wats goin to happen with kotarou and Eve(forgot her first name). They even left miles of room for the possiblities of introduced knew aspects of the show. Like maybe vampire hunters - highly unlikely, jus saying. ............................................................... Yep, they sure didnt leave anything out ~ Please note that the entire paragraph is sarcastic

Nice way to end the series, though I hope that there's a 2nd season. It's kind of leaning in that direction.

Am I the only one who thought that the ending sucked? It ends right after about 5 different major revelations are made that raise way more new questions than they answer. Even if they were planning on making a season 2 I cant imagine how they'd resolve them all. It's not even as if the ending were the only part that felt incomplete. They skipped around between different plotlines and characters and in most cases never finishing them. The only one with a significant backstory, Jirou, was so underdeveloped that by the end I really didn't care that he was going to die. I'm convinced that the one in charge of writing this must have been a 10-year-old ADHD crack addict.

I looked it up and apparently this was based on some Japanese light novels so that might explain some of the incompleteness. Still, if you've ever seen an actual light novel then you know that they're about 100 pages, large-type in a pocketsized book. So unless there were about 40 of them then a crappy adaptation was not this serie's only problem.

Overall good series. Last episode felt a little rushed and dragged the series down, a second series would make up for it ;).

Fantastic characters though, gave it a 9/10 based on the fact that I will miss the characters, but it's a weak 9.

I loved the ending, but since it seems like there won't be any continuation of the series it makes me hate it. It was a good ending were they able to continue into another season, it's an awful series ending.

As we'll never get to know the answers to all the questions that were raised in the finale. We still don't even know what the betrayal was, unless I missed it. -sigh- So many questions.

this is a great series its so unfortunate it isnt continued i would have liked to see jirou go all out or see a fight against the king of kowloon its also nice to see a vampire series where there not helpless against humans. there was some great humour and animation in this series the story is gd has alot off roots and really could have been a long and great show. i believe the reason the show isnt rated higher is purely because people dont like to start watching anime that are not finished and most likely not be finished. when mimiko quoted alice was that coincidence or something else. jiro believes that he will die when kotarou awakens though how could he know that and even alice wouldnt have known that seeing as he is the only person to ever receive her blood so i dont think jiro would die why wld she need to consume him completly surely some of his blood is his if anything it may leave him jst human

I'm usually bothered by this kind of ending, but for some reason I'm not now. I think I'm just relieved that Jiro didn't die, having heard that he did.

Well... this anime was pretty good. It could, perhaps should, have been twice as long, but... what there was was good. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't quite as fantastic as I was expecting.

Needed more biting.

boy she was quick to strip lol. ummm kotaro being the reincarnation of alice jiros former lover is a bit weird. Also does that mean when he gives all the blood back he will turn back to a she?

It was a pretty entertaining anime to bad it left a whole bunch of things open. I still found it weird how fast mimi got attached to jiro and kotaro. This must of been her first case ever. Why didint they just ask jiro to stay also whats so special about mimi?

I want Jirou to suck Mimiko's blood more. :P

Really enjoyed the anime, it was so nice, and there's an immense potential with the world the author have built. It's a shame that it only got one cour. The action was really cool, ZelMAN is the MAN, he's so badass, and Kein too, the one-sided ownage he gave Chao was so epic. Sei is also freakin awesome, I have no idea what his power is but man he's strong. Would've loved to see him actually engage in a combat.

The OST and ED are great, I didn't skip the ED even once, it was nice ending each and every episode with that ED. The OP is decent too.

I doubt this anime will be getting a second season a decade later, considering it wasn't really that popular I think. I hope the manga was scanlated, or else it's gonna be a shame to miss out on this series.

Still no season 2 even though its 2018. That was a good episode, especially the duel between Cassa and Jiro( it was intense) but it was a shame she got away. This season left us with cliffhangers that are as huge as a bullk*k. Number one what happened in hong Kong and what did Jiro meant when he said Cassa betrayed them? The beginning snippets of back stories were vague and all over the place, I couldn't understand shit.
Jiro just dumped one on us, telling Mimi he is going to be swallowed by Katori and also he is going to fight this so called Kowloon King that Cassa and co were trying to recover. That was just a big pile of unfinished crap that needs a huge season, for such a potential anime.

But I loved it only in the end, but overall it wasn't that great.

7/10.

I've just finished this anime and I'm pretty conflicted. As a whole, it's quite frustrating because there is no actual satisfactory ending. It works perfectly as a decent first season of multi-season show, but not as a stand-alone show in itself. I really loved all the characters and I got quite invested in the concept and story, but eventually nothing happened. I wish we'd get a second season or a reboot at some point. I can't be too hopeful 'cause it has been ages since it came out, but never say never.

Am I the only one who thinks that it is pretty weird that Alive was Jiro's love interest and now her reincarnation- Kotaro is his brother? It's just...I don't know, I really like their brotherly relationship but still, it seems that Jiro often thinks about Alice when looking at Kotaro so...

Straight up loved this series. Wish there was a season 2 and we had some finality, though. I could even see this as a 2-part live action movie series, like Blade or something.

Not entirely sure whose side Zelman was on during that final battle though.

Was going to give this a lower rating, but the surprisingly great last episode made me change it. An okay anime with unique characters and a reasonably cohesive plot. It does overextend itself somewhat and wastes time hinting at backstories and past connections without ever bothering to give them enough context to make the viewer care, as if it forgot it was only twelve episodes. Could be worth checking out if you want to see more vampire anime.

Its work as a end of season but definitely not as and of an series. They put to many secrets to the next season which is not exciting. Looks like there is something about Mimi and why she is important or that Cassa get away etc. But we never gonna learn I guess because looks like manga don’t have them too. Which is sad.

There are a good amount problems in this anime. Which is bothering me and I just dont like Alice . In the other hand I like Mimi she is mostly doesn’t do stupid things and try to help when she actually can.

6/10
