There is a discrepancy according to the mother's death.

I thought that Subaru's mother gave him the vampire slaying knife, so that he could use it to kill the evil mother who confined her in the jail. Yet, the evil mother actually died in the most hilarious way possible as a vampire. What a disgrace!

I thought that in the previous episodes, vampires can't die at the height of the mansion. Yet, when Raito pushed her off, it was instant death !? Doesn't vampire live forever?

Does that mean that the mother is a mortal? The fact that she is even bleeding and stuff..
If not, I wonder what the vampire feel when they taste the blood of their own species..


Raito ripped out her heart before he through her off the balcony. Remember Kanato going, " where is your heart ".. that's what killed her not the fall.

I hope they go the Ayato route.. He is by far my favourite and he seems to be more dominant than the rest of the characters.
On top of that, he was the first guy seen so maybe that is a but of foreshadowing..

Weak episode. I'm still waiting for some rape scene...

I know right? I think this anime gets this much unreasonable hate and supposedly rape accusations because it attracted the twillight romance crowd. Must be a pretty weak hearted bunch if this is all they need to be offendet and scream rape.

Yes! When the show delves into the vampires' pasts, its pretty interesting. The music was very intense during the Mother scene.

Ok, this episode managed to get on my nerves.

Subaru, who was actually kind of nice before, now turned into super asshole jerk vampire, and bit Yui. All the while talking about how she needs to just shut up and submit to his every whim, because... um.. just because I guess. "Submit to my fangs penetrating you".. yea, that's clearly a rape metaphor.

But the whole scene had this like, romantic, hopeful, pretty, la-de-da floaty piano music, as if it were supposed to be some happy romantic scene. A lovely romantic evening in the flower garden! Are you kidding me? I hope that shit gets cut the fuck out. I like my rapeyness to be treated like rapeyness, not romantic, please.

And then the way they killed the mom.. I felt it was kind of anticlimactic. I mean, she wasn't that bad in the flashback. Sure, she had high expectations, and threatened to have Ayato killed.. but honestly, that is rather tame for what I was expecting. I thought she was going to have like abused the shit out of them. Like torture them and shit. Just ominous threats and high expectations really don't warrant or justify some horrific murder, in my opinion. It really felt melodramatic and forced.

And that's just Ayato. Raito and Kanato weren't even treated badly at all. Why did they both turn into Crazy McEvil all of a sudden?

I really hope there's more to the flashbacks or something. Because this just doesn't add up for me.

In other news, I'm starting to like Ayato a little more. He's not as much of an asshole as he was before.

I read something about that the mother was not only cheating with the uncle but also fucking her own son (that guy that feeds on yui in the church). So she wasnt quite as tame as the anime showed her, which is a shame. Assuming that what I gathered on the forum is true.

And does Subaru really need to tell yui a reason why she should go along with everyone of his whims? She knows very well that he oculd squash her like a bug in an instant if he wanted to. I think thats the main thing people seem to forget. Just because this guys look a bit androgynous and weak doesnt mean they are. They are actually pretty fucking strong.

This episode portrayed Kanato well lol. Subaru's behaviour at this time was unexpected :O Oh, and seeing Cordelia's death in animated form was... refreshing XD

Subaru <3

It seems to be getting better tbh, 1-6 were crap but this is finally getting somewhere.


agreed, i was going to drop it after this episode, but seeing the character development here maybe i'll just finish it

honestly if the episodes were full-length i would have dropped it after 3, 4 at most

They've just thrown away THE WHOLE Laito's backstory. That's very unfair.

What's worse than feeling disgust is feeling little to no emotion. I don't really care.
moving on.

Laito playing piano <3

I can't believe they all helped to kill their mother, that was quite cruel but then again with how she treated them you can't really blame them.

Poor Subaru wants her to kill him if she asks or end her own life. He was slightly more romantic about biting her than the others, it was kinda sweet. I like Subaru a lot.

Ayato getting in to bed with her in the end and saying not to look at him was also quite sweet. They all like her quite a bit really, you can tell.

i actually am interested in their back stories but this anime is totally inconsistent everything just happens so abruptly & as someone who doesn't follow the story elsewhere it's really hard to get into this & also i have zero empathy for any of the characters







but i’ll probably remember over and over again
you were there and everyone else was there
