You want to criticize the series after 2 damn episodes? Fine, since there's nothing much I can say to people like you, but don't be such a douche about it.


Yes I do because it doesn't matter whether it's 2 episodes in or 12 when they present us hideous dialogues. There is no excuse for this. It left me wondering whether they do not have any form of editor or someone who can tell author to stop smoking that shit in Japan. Btw it's not a phenomena exclusive to this work but rather a humongous problem occuring in 3/4 of anime/manga.

lol wait so 'hideous dialogue' is enough to justify your 'characters are shallow as a spoon'? After two episodes?

I actually really like this even though there are obvious flaws here and there. The setting is very intriguing and this has a lot of potential.

What the fuck.
Japan seriously stop making everything into a fucking high school. Step outside your comfort zone writers.

Education is important in post apocalyptic style worlds but does it seriously have to be shot for shot of every other anime with a high school?
Utterly ridiculous and seems like just blatant pandering to the Otaku crowd.
See Attack on Titan for high school jinks and in world education done right.

Hopefully the rest of the story doesn't have these crazy blunders.

I'm not gonna lie, this series has one of the best songs this season along with Kekkai Sensen :) hope it doesn't drop its standards midway like Aldnoah Zero.

you too should stop trying to raise the expectations, having high expectations isn't gonna make the show more enjoyable for anime-only people
look at most of the people complaining, or making comparisons with other shows, they all are affected by pathological high expectations, the show is not perfect in any way, it has its flaws, but few are really pointing them out
the guy made conclusions out of nowhere? well he can blame only himself for missing a fine show, it's no use trying to force people with no patience or no reading ability to follow a show, just let them go

I'm liking this show and the storytelling style. It may be generic to others but it has good backstory to based from, and the settings as well. Contrary to the fuss about bad animation, I think it's okay. Vampires are supposed to move fast.

Oh, nice ED by the way.

I'm not trying to make them raise the bar but it is kind of upsetting to see so many people having this "need" to drive people away from something they didn't like. Having opinions is one thing but talking trash about something without actually knowledge of it is just plain mean.

anyway, on average, most of the haters are gone by the 5th or 6th episode, hopefully we just have to wait

Holy shit, dude, that Yuu is a massive tsundere. Yooo, calm down and try to teamwork a bit. I understand the ''I don't want to lose people again'', but that's not how it work.

Shinoa, I already love this girl. She's pretty much the only character that stand out from the others so far. That Guren seem pretty cool too, with his senpai vibes. But he shouldn't make foolish promises.

MAN, I WONDER IF MIKA IS ALIVE. THAT SURELY MUST BE HIS BROTHER IN THE OP. They aren't being subtle at all about it, right?

I agree with giving up on replying to them all but you're underestimating the haters of the hyped shows here. They're masochists who're willing to watch the entire series (speedwatching) so they can point out even the tiniest flaws in the show just to piss of the fans cause hating on hyped shows is apparently cool here lol.

Am I one of the few who actually dislikes how this turned from something really unique to another typical boy-at-school-with-tragic-past-who-is-totally-misunderstood-hax0rz?

They just had to insert that school setting there and that "find a friend before we even consider accepting and training you" part? Ugh.

Still, I'm going to watch this one until the end because I want to know what happened to that blonde boy with the girl's name.

Uh no, I'll like a popular series if it's cool. I like One Piece, Shingeki no Kyojin, Fairy Tail, etc. However, if a series is bad then it's bad however that in itself is subjective and what's bad to me could be a godsent to you. I'm not saying OnS is bad but the second episode definitely sucked in my opinion (and apparently to others as well), get over it. Get off your high horse. If you liked it then good for you but saying those who didn't like it are just hating it because it's popular is just pulling out your straw man fallacy card.

Dude I don't think anyone's implying that people who didn't like it are hating cause it's popular, but you know someone's hating on something when every single week that person comes around and say things like "shit this sucked" without any explanation. Believe it or not, there are people who'd watch an entire "popular" series just to pick out the flaws (and ignore the good things) cause apparently, they have nothing better to do in their lives, those were what we meant when we said "haters". That applies for people who judge the whole show after 1 or 2 episodes too, and they are hella annoying.

It's been a while since I've seen a really good action anime. Although this is only episode 2, it looks extremely good. The artstyle is actually quite pleasing to the eye with the very hard shadows and varied outline sizes. All of the characters feel human, which a good amount of action animes miss on.

That OP anim+music was amazing! Maybe a favorite this season. ED good too.
Shinoa VA quite good, but all the BL pairs might sideline her role? Yuu the tsun male mc makes the show funnier than some comedies this season.
The school combat was very well planned & animated, even the vampire uses tables & steel bars as weapons & times her healing, & mc fighting on equal level.
Too much Yoichi head rubbing...

I am still a bit skeptical overall, but I must say that the fighting seen during the narration is great. The TV series is pretty long, I hope even now that not unnecessarily hasten matters as they arise; it would only be a handicap. The quality of the drawings is okay though what strikes me most, is the soundtrack and the scenery again.

A lot of things in this series feel out of sync for me, especially the voice/acting for certain characters (or maybe my audio system broke, idk), but so far I like the setting, characters, and story just well. Hoping it gets better tho, especially the directing.

And lol, people hating school setting.. because they hate it. I find it quite reasonable to have a school (been 8 years since then), and to have our high school age protagonist attending it to find a friend, and learn to cooperate with others.

Well to be honest I did like this episode. Well Shiona is an entertaining character (plus her being voiced by Saori Hayami is usually a good thing to see).

Wit Studio played it safe with this anime.This is basically Attack on Titan,but the titans are switched with vampires.Also the action style plays well on the studio strengths because they are best at choreographing this type of anime.

Thoroughly enjoyed it - doesn't take itself too seriously, great fight scenes, dramatic but with humor, clear differences in personalities of characters, everyone is likable. Definitely satisfies my requirements for a solid show. Also seems really shippy, which is cool.
