THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Well, NicoNico USA deserves some respect. That's pretty damn fast.
As for the episode, I very much disapprove of this amount of fanservice.
And speaking of which, it's funny how the multi-pantyshot when Gekkou makes his entrance is censored, while all the single-person pantyshots are not.
Censoring a severed neck is a bit overkill too. Or they could at least have just made it a bit blurry, instead of light beam out of fucking nowhere.
Oh, but using those two cans to censor his neck before that was a brilliant idea.
And on the other hand, Takaya Kagami penned the original story, so I'm at least expecting the story to be not too damn bad after a few episodes.
And the art ain't half-bad either.

Lastly, Shikata Akiko's Utsusemi <3
Best ED of the season. Just sayin'.

Edit: I love Himea's hair. <3
How the hell could I forget mentioning this in the first place?

Man this series is going to be hell factions fighting between themselves because I know what Himea is and I know the circumstances of Gekkou. This will just be a major battle between one faction of Hell that is too afraid of Himea. Well in any case count me out of Himea x Taito. In fact I rejoice at the following,

oh yes Gekkou! You made me happy and even more so in the spoiler
now that got me satisfied. Plus he is good looking and has a rather MOE demon with him. Not to mention Gekkou is popular with the girls. You see I am a ally of “D” from “Vampire Hunter D” and we hate vampire slut bitches like Himea for what she did to Taito in the spoiler
she freaking turned him into a monster! Although I do sympathize with Taito that despite being great in Martial Arts, he got his leg broken. That is the only thing I accept for why it may be not bad to have Himea's powers but the involvement he got himself into is bad shit TBH. He has all of Hell most likely after him. I doubt it will only be Gekkou after him.

Another thing I like about Gekkou is the following,

he has the same powers as that of Himea or of the same type. That's no surprise but not saying why. He also has a freaking cool sword! I like that. Not only that but he already pawned Himea here and even erased Taito's memories here. So Gekkou pawns man!

In fact from the looks of Himea being emprisoned in another dimension (nice NSFW DFC shots TBH) in the following spoiler
she could not even do anything because the moment she would, she would get electrified with the energy of the dimension itself. However later on I assume that Taito thinking of her gave her enough power to released herself and that gave off more fan service of straight nudes of Himea in the spoiler
now that makes me wonder if she has any sexual organs or is a plain entity. Could be a cheap gimmick not to draw out any details until the Bds come out. At around that segment, the black spider here is that caught my attention. Remember Hell Girl first season and who was that spider, well I think it's Enma himself as a spider again. The King of Hell so to speak.

So my take on this anime is I am all the way for Gekkou and if he dies than I shall T_T shed mainly tears for his death. That's all.

Well, the censoring isn't as bad I thought it might be. Still annoying nonetheless. I laughed during the scene where Taito got hit by the truck and scenes that followed. Reminded me of Kore wa Zombie Desu ka?.

At least that did not change from the PV and you got to admit that Haruka's as well as Mirai's fan service in the spoiler
aren't that bad since they are only panties shots but the ones of Himea are more in your face nudes.

Ah, well it's not totally censored so it may not be that bad but censors like in the spoiler
are ridiculous. I find them stupid like you do.

You kidding me? It was more gory IMO but the body standing and head part were a little similar to Kore wa Zombie Desu Ka? Thing is that the whole series should have a more serious tone than Kore wa Zombie Desu Ka? most likely.

I doubt that Himea will died so easily, she is a vampire xD.
Aren't Vampires supposted to be strong?
Doesn't she also have immortal body when she gave the curse to Taito?

It still sad ending of episode even thought we know she won't died here.

Interesting Anime.

Just going from raws until I find subbed version I can watch, but this looks pretty good.

Just remembered in time to put comments in spoilers as I watched this earlier than I usually get to them (advantage of watching raw). Don't read spoilers unless you want to spoil several shock/surprises in this episode. Watch it first, it will be worth it!

nice start.Though i feel that it was a bit rushed seeing as they animated 4 or so chapters of the LN(equivalent to 5 ch. in the manga) into 1 episode. It might not be so bad seeing as most of the beginning is more about the characters' background.
A few things are changed from the LN/Manga.
-Taito wuz suppose to fight 2 guys from "the church"after running from the car accident.
-More on kurenai's & mirai's bacgrounds.
etc.etc.etc.

It was suppose to be told somewhere during where the story tells about Gekkou's background. but seeing as it was kinda rushed they probably cut it out or rearranged it. So ill just tell you, but ill put it in a spoiler just in case you want to wait another episode.
I might have told a big chunk of the next ep but its in more detail in the LN and manga.

HA! I was so right, someone did something and someone got hunted. In fact everyone in the pack so to speak.

The plot now may shift to "Someone is going to be unsealed, let's seal him back." Well I hope not.
Blackbird said:

Yes but they still have weaknesses like Mina Tepes had in dance in the vampire bund.
Blackbird said:

Yeah but from the looks of Himea she looks more cute and emotional than strong so far.
Blackbird said:

She may or may not. That Princess in Kaiboutsu Oujo could give immortality but was mortal herself.

So much fanservice.

Anyway, I loved this. It was incredibly entertaining, and I really like the characters. Himea is awesome, and so is her hair. I love her hair. <3
My hopes are incredibly high for this anime, even after ZEXCS added their own lines and fanservice.

And dat ED. And I'm mad that they didn't include the OP, cause the song is so amazing.

Need the next episode now.

But wait, that's not Gekkou who erased Taito's memories there.

I wonder what's with the negativity...

I actually find the animation to be surprisingly good and pretty (except for the bats and circles). The BGM was also not too bad but the last one where Gekkou stabbed Himea was facepalming.

And when did Gekkou erase Taito's memories? Totally untrue. I'm sorry but is it ok for me to ask you to stop inventing your own stories? Thanks ^_^

And regarding the fight with the Church, I don't really find it important.

Mirai meet Gekkou story can actually be inserted later. In fact, it can actually be done in another arc. Though that may signal doom to the anime, because it would mean volume 5 (and probably 6 as well) would be adapted.

I would agree that the pacing is fast and it can be confusing. Though all the necessary plot elements are there.

well... thats funny is that i've seen people hatin on it even though its the first ep that hasn't really given you the full extent of whats happening :/ since you only saw flash backs of the past + the reason why taito has a immortal body also although the anime deviates from the manga(not sure how it goes in the light novel) in the final scenes its still rather close.

Well if it was not Gekkou who did that then that person who was there in the flashback did. Besides that that person looks like Gekkou less there is a third party member involved.

This is basically a alternative version of Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? tho it seemed a bit more interesting tho not much.

It's enjoyable and if they tone down the fan service and have better pacing then it would be even better. The MC isn't spineless as well which is always a plus and I like the way his body works.

Beams of light for censoring is probably the worse kind since it takes up a huge chunk of the screen

Much better once I got a subbed version and could get the dialogue (not that it wasn't pretty good on the RAW). Since it comes from an LN series, I think it might predate Kore wa Zombie Desu ka but I did get a nostalgic flash from that show (also a little bit of Fortune Arterial with the eternal service shtick).

The usual sucky censoring, the beam of light covering about half of the panties showing in the crowd shot and Taito's reattachment (look censors, we know it came off--I think we can take watching him reattach his missing part).

A bit more dire cliffhanger than we usually get. A week is indeed a long long time.

Ugh.. This show would have a perfect start if it weren't for those unnecessary panty shots...

Anyway, did anyone laughed when headless Taito turned to those girls and freaked out? XDD


Interesting start. I will keep track on this show. Hopefully it will not go downhill.

PS: If my calculation was right, Himea waited for Taito for about 946080times since she's waiting for each 5 minutes in the whole 9 years. Impressive loyalty if its not martyrdom XDD

It was alright.

I swear I wanted to count how many times they said Taito in the episode but told myself it's not worth it, because it's a lot. Character design/art style is pretty though! Love Himea and Haruka's hair color tones. And Taito and Gekkou's spasm hair. xD

I much prefer Kore was Zombie Desu Ka..
