This was kinda funny, I really expected the shopkeeper to have something much more. . . . well I don't know how to explain it. But definitely not underwear.

I'll probably keep watching this for the kicks~

Good episode, Staz is pretty funny with his fascination with the human world.

I like Bell already, she also kinda reminds me of Haruka from FLCL

lol knew it was coming

Idk, I guess I can sort of see it, but every time I see Bell all I can think of is (a grown up) Hachikuji from Bakemonogatari.

lol there's that too


To think that, she reminds me adult Kagura from Gintama.

Just finished reading the manga up till chapter 27 before watching this episode. Now after watching this, I kinda feel like the anime seriously does not live up to my expectations at all, unlike the manga. In other words, I preferred the manga version, better. The anime is a really poor representation of it, imo.

but, still gonna keep watching this series regardles.

I don't know, this was pretty damn boring. I'll probably give it one more episode and decide whether to drop, especially if it doesn't buck up. The comedy certainly didn't make me laugh or even smile.

Well the manga starts out slow and silly like this too, there's really only a few differences. The main one being the color scheme but that's not a big deal, it works well with the wacky atmosphere.

The two that are concerning me are 1. Staz's character design(hair should be shorter and messier) and they sometimes choose not to draw some of his really good facial expressions from the manga. I feel like some of the dry humor is lost in doing this, which brings me to 2: The humor in some cases seems to be changed/drawn out, going from 'wtf' dry humor to 'cute' or 'background animation' reliant humor. I think if they changed up the timing of some jokes, and focused less on making colorful background animations to fit the joke and more on facial expressions, it would be closer to the manga.

But other than that, as long as they continue adapting it faithfully I'll be happy.

Not as funny like in the first episode but it is still a good episode.
That white hair guy looks like Torisho from Bleach lol.
I saw this Castlevania reference when Staz say something about upgrading and go to sleep something like that. That was a good parody.

and I really do NOT like the voice for Beru-san I mean, the whole time I was reading the manga I was hoping her voice to be more like uh a MATURED lady voice, like Rangiku Matsumoto from Bleach...bummer :-\

This is a comedy that's serious at some times. I like it.
Fuyumi helps with this.

Lol at the saliva spray scene. And the blood licking scene too.

This show really has nice characters.
A new one appears and her name is Hydra-Bell or simply Bell, the owner of the Black Curtain.
Another one will appear in the next episode, a demon named Wolf, the rival of Staz.

Lol at filthy underpants and ONIQLO.
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.

What have they done to her, though? She doesn't look hot and she kind of lost some of her charm.

I see they care about the fighting scenes, so I'm looking forward to Staz vs. Wolf.

I pretty much heard HaruHaru from FLCL(well her dub voice) while reading, so her voice is okay with me. I think it's really fitting for her trollish attitude.

the thing that bothers me the most in this show is the super bad animation.

Going through this thread no wonder that you miss Orsonius' point.
You're quite defensive about this anime, aren't you? :)

Doesn't even remotely fulfill my expectations.
Horrible animation, absurd played out humour, annoying supporting characters.
Annoying voice and character of female MC.
Considering the synopsis this was going to be one of my favourites this season.
Even if the third ep would pick it up content wise the animation and the humour would screw it again.
Ah, well, dropped.

Have I though? If anything I'd be pretty defensive about the manga, since this is only two episodes in. And on that, I've been clearly voicing my problems with the anime so far(especially on the delivery of the humor so I get where you're coming from) so I'm not sure where you're getting that.

But anyway, not like there was a "point" for me to miss lol, all he said was the animation was nonexistent aside from cheap slash stuff, which is not the case.

i enjoy reading the manga, it was awesome and i dunno but... this is not what i expected, i think the anime version was way too colorful and idk, its not as serious as it look in the manga.

and i wonder how many episode this is? since they show neyn and heads? i heard this was only 12 eps...

and that BERU! <3
i hope the anime gets serious once the "bullet" is removed

Beru's one interesting kyara.

Ep.1 > Ep.2
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

Still felt like a cheap version of Hataraku Maou. Wish they had hired someone else for voice acting of MC. It's inevitable to think of that anime whenever watching this one due to the voice. I have not enjoyed the series yet. What's the best selling of this show? Comedy? It has not made me laugh so far. Drama? Action? Not impressive nor interesting so far. I don't even know if they are trying to be funny or serious.


I usually don't like to compare currently airing anime like this but I have to agree. This feels like a carbon copy of "Hataraka Maou." Its not bad but the only mildly interesting thing that happened this episode was the short fight scene. Hopefully this wolf character brings some good scenes to the next episode.
If strength is justice, then is powerlessness a crime?

Beru is finally introduced.

The subpar art in the adaptation saddens me a bit. The animation is not bad though... almost had a laugh at how well-animated the blood sucking scene was. That was easily one of the more memorable scenes in the early chapters of the manga. I'm satisified with how faithful the show is to its source in general, but it has a lot of ground available to cover - and the OP shows parts that are pretty far in... now that's a legit cause for concern.

I wouldn't compare this to Hataraku Maou though; not only is the similarity superficial, but Blood Lad's source material started in 2009 (manga) vs 2011 (LN) for Hataraku Maou. The anime for Hataraku Maou-sama! just came earlier. Besides, I like both series so there really is no point comparing the two for me.

Bell sounds a bit different than I expected, not that its unfitting or anything so I'll get use to it.

What is this complaint about the art? It looks pretty much the same as the manga, in fact, Bell looks better. Then again, I never understood most of people's complaints or compliments about the art, maybe cuz I put much more emphasis on art style rather than how glossy or "high-budget" it is.

Lol Staz. That finger sucking *-*. Finally, Bell, and Wolf, man Wolf looked so badass (Hitsugaya :p), and Staz's so strong, should be quite a battle if they ever fight.

Lol at people comparing this to Hataraku, when they're little to none similarity. The only thing that's the same is the demon world and comedy mixed, other than that they're completely different. Don't know if people deliberately comparing one to another just because of the theme, trying to be smart or what. Just enjoy what you watch, because you don't even pay for it, much less talking crap about a decent show. Talk crap only if you can do better, otherwise you'll just sound like a hater.

Lol I thought the same, a new Hitsugaya, and he would fit the "lonely" wolf character too. (It also reminds me of an anime I saw recently, though I didn't really like the anime Kenshin Uesugi reminded me of Hitsugaya too. Obviously not only the looks but the voice actor is the same.)
