Maid outfit spotted this episode. Not sure what else to say. Seems like there might be a love triangle soon. That Sayaka girl seems kinda interesting I guess, not a very nice girl though. I wasn't expecting her to take a fascination to Yukina though. I wonder how this arc will conclude.

So Asagi has seen him in Vampire mode now, thanks to Sayaka's action... Early impressions of Sayaka so far have been entirely negative.

Wonder how she will take things. And who that guy turning up in the car is.

This is a pretty good way of integrating Asagi more into the story as before she was fairly distant from the story itself.

Kojou will drink the other two's blood soon enough. Yep.

Loved this ep.

That guy's after Kojou. Run for ur life and ur purity XD

Yuri love with Sayaka and her love for Yukina XD Dat jealousy hahaha. Lol'd at how she was explaining Yukina's neck in details XD She's definitely joining the harem soon XD

Yukina was <3 this ep. Loved how she was treating Kojou coldly after she saw him with Asagi and when he said he won't suck her blood. She was so kawaii <3
Ahh Kojou, seems like ur the usual dense MC -.-

Finally Asagi was also <3 this ep. Good to see she hasn't given up after last ep. Loved her Honey trap and the part under the table. Seems like she'll find out about Kojou being a vampire soon. Let's see how she'll react.

Wow at Asagi's honey trapping, it's super effective!

Man, that's the biggest cliffhanger yet for me this week compared with other shows. Sayaka's confrontation, Asagi realizing Kojou not being human and then terrorist coming to get Asagi. This episode has me really hyped up for next week. :O

Wow, enter the most annoying character in this anime. Thanks but I could do without Sayaka. I was annoyed this entire episode, great. Not very pleasant despite Asagi redeeming herself for me.

Despite me liking Yukina, I didn't like that at all. Again, I felt bad for Kojou because he was probably thinking about her and her feelings (considering that everyone in this show calls him a pervert too) and then she just treats him coldly. I mean, how was he supposed to know that that was what Yukina wanted?

I actually feel bad for Kojou as a main character because it's not like he's dense (well they all are to a certain point, but he isn't over-dense) but it's just that everyone misunderstands him to a point where they won't understand what's actually going on. And I know this is common in anime, but this is like every episode, it's seriously deterring my enjoyment of this anime. The way the misunderstandings are handled is horrible.

Basically a set up episode, in hopes of finding this Gardos person and capturing him. So two new characters introduce which is Sayaka and Valter. I'm okay with Valter, but Sayaka was a bit annoying here, so I'll get used to her in the later episodes.

Lol to Asagi on certain explicit scenes XD, but the reaction of hers in the end about Kojo...

I was ready to rate this series down after last episode but this episode did well to recover. As anyone can imagine, Sayaka is indeed Yukina's former roommate and man, she's probably the most annoying protagonist character of the season. Not only is she totally obsessed about Yukina, but she's also clearly not right in the head. First of all, Kojou is Yukina's mission objective so it's probably not a good idea to try to kill him. Second, he's the Fourth Primogenitor -- one can easily imagine him killing her if she pushes the envelope too hard. Oh well. Anime character thought process is anime character thought process...

Aside from Sayaka though, this episode's pretty good. Next episode will probably feature Asagi being kidnapped and Kojou diving head in to save her. Maybe he'll even be forced to take blood from her in the process. In any case, with Asagi seeing him like this at the end of the current episode, she's bound to be pulled into his universe from now.

Better episode this week but can they stop abusing this guy for two seconds?
They beat and/or verbally attack him so long as he even dares to look their way.

Yes thank you for this.

Man these characters need to stop jumping to conclusion all the time...okay well for calling Kojou a pervert makes some sense at least since it's happened so many times and I can see how they won't believe that they're all accidents or something (and well it's for comedic purposes anyways). But Sayaka thinks Kojou is the one following Yukina around...=_= She needs to calm down.

Nice, Asagi will finally learn Kujou's secret. Now that will be interesting.

^This!

Sayaka has got to go. The last thing that I want to be bothered with while watching anime is a overly jealous, hot-headed, lesbian, that's stupid. If she becomes a regular, and there's not development with her character, I'm going to have to drop this.

These misunderstandings are pissing me off. Like for once will someone not jumped to conclusions and stop labelling Kojou a pervert? Like damn. Poor guy. AND HE'S TOO COMPLIANT. Let's all these bitches walk all over him. (He should let the First Progenitor walk over him tho :p)

Well, he is a bit of a doormat, since he sticks his hand in every cookie jar by getting caught up in everything, contrary to his desire to live a "normal" high school life.

Kojou better clench his cheeks, because another man wants a piece of his vampire butt blood...which I'm alright with, so long as it stays in the comedy portion of the show, and none of of that BL shit. But if it it ever did come to that, I'm dropping it.

It took me long enough to find a decent site that had this episode in good quality. Back on topic though... I very much liked Sayaka's personality. This episode was good but needed something more. That being said, can't wait for the next episode.
