The first episode was watchable and I don't want the main characters dead yet so it's future is looking good.

Will continue to watch.

Great first episode. I already like Yukina a lot. She's a cute tsundere but is also quite the badass. Kojou is an interesting male protagonist. I'm interested to find out more about how he became a vampire since those sinces were quite vague. Apparently he killed the previous Fourth Progenitor and he has to fulfill her wish. Constantly bringing up that panty incident was pretty funny. xD It's refreshing to hear Yoshimasa Hosoya voicing a main male lead again. :)

Ohhhh man....I love these type of series....The MC is treated as an almighty powerful being, a potential threat to his overall environment, and painful memories he can't seem to remember about his past :D
I'm loving the Fall 2013 anime list so far!!

Wow. It's a decent start. I really love the animation too. Its high quality.

Can't wait to see more of why Kojou became the Fourth Progenitor. That bit doesn't explain everything yet! Will look forward to this anime!

. Nice accent and voice also for the main character guy (reminds me of Arata in Chihayafuru).

I hadn't even bothered checking the VA for this series so when I heard him speak I was filled with joy. :)



Anyway... characters right now are on the mediocre side but not bad.
I suppose I liked this, though I really didn't have any expectations.

Here's hoping that the pantsu shots don't increase too much as this goes on.

I thought I would drop this because of the ecchi tag, but it turned to be kind of good. Hopefully it doesn't turn more into an ecchi series.

not bad for first episode. the fight with the 2 pervs was good (y) I WANTED TO SEE SOME BLOODSUCKING! what da at the end regarding the lost memories.. and what da regarding the end with the little girl and all? is she part of the 12 companions or w.e.? I thought we'd see most of them hanging around that Kojou guy.. main girl was too trusting and revealed too much, I guess. let's see where this goes..

also one more thing. was that Avrora girl that dies in the end voiced by the Tsundere Queen? anyone? She's not listed in the characters' list yet

Kojou's inner bad-ass-ery is fighting his outer pansy-ass-ness. I hope the former wins... but that wouldn't be fair to the pansy-ass audience and the writers who don't know how to plot.

Yukina's only redeeming quality is the fact that her upskirt panty shot contained an original pattern (as oppose to just pure white or blue/white stripes).

I've tried to read manga version before but due to my short attention span at manga I end up droping it.

Well from what look like in the OP the cast seems interesting enough.

7/10 for this ep. Very good fighting scenes. But the colorings were not good enough.

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.

- Comedy and the interractions are awfully cliche

- That girl pisses me off

+ MC past is interesting

+ MC is cool

Guess i give next ep a try and then maybe drop it.

Yeah, the whole girl-observing-powerful-MC thing is similar. Though the MCs here are already less obnoxious than those in Code:Breaker.
I probably regret this post by now.

Pretty decent. Animation is good and not over the top.

This series reminds me of Blood Lad. Yukina looks like Fuyumi, the MC is a vampire, and the demon world. The story is different though.

Great animation by Silver Link/ Connect, awesome ED.

Nice way to start an anime with a little bit of action and ecchi.

Yukina is so cute, dat panty o.o

Looking forward to more of this.

Hahahaha Kishida Kyoudan and the Akeboshi Rockets! Gooood. I feel like it's been forever since they did an OP/ED performance.

For the anime I think it's a decent start.

Wasn't with it at first, but it drew me in by the end. Fanservice is a little nonsensical, but it's not too much. I'll give it a 3 eps trial and see how it goes.

It's still to early to say, but first episode was good, very good.

I started to like Akatsuki, and Yukina is very good character too. Can't wait to see next episode. I hope they won't mess up this series.

Good production value - nice art, great animation, good character design. Plot however I don't love it YET. Interesting though. The picture near the end of the OP... He's gonna suck blood out of her later? Whoa. Anyway, will keep watching. Also, YAY Hosoya voicing main boy!

This felt somewhere between Code:Breaker (animation style) and Demon King Daimao (looks like a plot clone)...

This episode had a couple funny moments, but I'm not convinced this will be worth watching yet.
