| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Welp, I kinda expected some background storytelling this episode and it didn't look pretty. 4 episodes in now and we got Kleemann making his appearance. I find his personality very mysterious so far and wonder what his true agendas are in the show. For what's worth, this guy is definitely someone to watch out for given his mischievous way of expressing himself. |

| It was medicore as usual. I'm just not buying this relationship yet between Anzai and Tsukasa Atleast the new guy seems fine so far. |
| Generally, I enjoyed the episode but I have some problems with it. The direction was very messy in the first half, I don't get why they make me get pumped up for the good action and a few seconds later I watch some normal dialogue that doesn't connect to the action part almost at all. It happened like 2-3 times and it annoyed me. Music placement wasn't that good as well. I must give some praise to the storyboard though, the fights were dynamic with a few cool shots, the animation could've elevate it even further. 3.5/5 This episode was good but it could've been so much better. |
  |
| Anzai becoming mad because of human blood was scary. The new guy is a mysterious person, and also his eye was a good surprise. Kaneki is that you? Other than that the episode wasn't good. The storytelling felt weird and of course the love between the main cast is bad so far. That ending was rather interesting, showing that Devils can't hide in human society. |
 |
| Not a good episode. I'm really not feeling the relationship with Anzai and Tsukasa, I simply don't care. It's quite bad. I'm liking the new character though, he's quite mysterious. |
 |
| Such a boring episode,the end was easily the best part. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| The action scenes are incredible for all the wrong reasons. |
| Anzai losing control was somewhat expected since he doesn't drink human blood. Hopefully this blood tolerance thing will help him once Tsukasa finds him. |

| This episode was kind of meh. The idea of the story is amazing and I feel like the author/writer could've made it better, idk seems like the writer hasn't read too many vampire books with various types ofvampires to get the gist of it. The ending was interesting. Lowkey I want to readthe manga, maybe it's better. |
| Let's have fun :D |
| So they're basically trying nbn g yo give anzai the vampire equivalent of methadone. |
| Boring episode, boring anime. Still gonna give it a chance tho |

If he did, it would follow the manga better. This anime is seriously screwing up the storyline and pacing of the manga. People ragging on the mangaka and his story, because of this mess (without even reading the manga to see how different it is) is really unfair to him and his series, and just annoying in general. As for these vamps, they are NOT the usual vampires. They are more like a mutated branch of the human family. They are alive, not undead. They are not immortal. They can eat human food. Personality, I like that they are not the same old types of vampires. They don't need to consume blood and can function fine if they abstain. To everyone else: I haven't watched this episode yet. When I do, I'll post the usual info about what chapters they used. So far it was most of chapter one for episode 1, 10%-15% of chapter 2 & 30%-40% of chapter 3 for episode 2. And parts of each: chapters 4, 5 & 6 for episode 3. |

I said my own opinion on this and made me curious about the manga to see the differences so why are you so sensitive about? I also had my share of vampires. There are some indie writers who have weird ass types of vampires in their stories. I even read a story few years ago about a vampire that was not even need the blood but just the plasma (it was a sf dystopian shitty short story) to be able to survive and was looking like a human. So yeah amazon has some weird stories about vamps lol |

This comment: "I feel like the author/writer could've made it better, idk seems like the writer hasn't read too many vampire books with various types of vampires to get the gist of it." Sounded like you were blaming the manga for this mess. Since that is the story creation point, and since that seemed to be what you were referring to. |

You know there are authors and writers for anime too, right? There is a script written and they are taking bits and pieces from the manga that they think they are important. I was reffering to that and I am sorry if my wording confused you. But even if you love a manga with all your soul you should understand that there are people that might hate it or think the story is shit. Learn how to take a negative comment or a different opinion on something you like. π |

Its the ones who haven't tried it, use the anime as basis for their hate and lump the two together in that venomous hate. (Some of the comments I've seen directed at the series as a whole (manga usually included) from anime- only viewers are really nasty- going so far as to insult those who like, either the anime and/or manga and flinging the word "retarded" around- (which in itself is an insult to people with any sort of learning issues and I hate when that is used so easily and routinely, in an offensive way) and it is just all really uncalled for, for them to insult the readers/watchers). Yes, your wording was confusing since it sounded like you meant the creator of the manga. Maybe you should say the "script writer", next time, if that is what you mean (just a suggestion). I think whoever adapted this for anime should seriously have their heads examined and/or be fired. I don't love the manga with all my heart and soul, but I do really like it. And I take offence to those who direct horrible insults at the manga, without having even tried to read it. And that they also direct such insults at those who read it and like it. So I suppose that's all gotten me a bit too annoyed. I'm sorry for misunderstanding your wording, in that case. |

| Honestly, anyone still watching this should probably drop it and read the manga. Chapters 7-9 are far, far better than this episode. They extended chapter 7 to half the length of the episode and then sped through 8 & 9 while cutting a lot of good character moments. It seems like they're trying to prioritize action but the directing sucks and the music sucks and it's just making everything worse. To the people saying they don't care about the main couple: the anime screwed that up a little too by cutting some sweet interactions between them earlier on. |

| Ok! So- they are still screwing with the pacing and adding in useless things again! Yay~..... Not. Friggin' jack@$$es! What the fu€k are they doing with this story?! I'm not a "hater" per se. Just a REALLY dissapointed person who REALLY likes the manga a lot, and dissapointed with what they did to the story content from the manga! First. Jill was not there at the time that Hans was trying to get Anzai under control. Adding her into a scene that she had no part of being in, makes absolutely NO sense whatsoever. Jill is afraid to go against orders. When a superior tells her to do something (such as: Stay here. Don't deploy.) She listens, even if she would rather not to. That's her personality! She even said in the manga that she always listened, even though she would rather not, at times, because she was afraid she'd lose her job! Next. Zero 7 (the female sniper) didn't stick around to try and shoot Anzai some more. She's not that utterly stupid. She jumped in the van when it first arrived, and (since Jill wasn't there to ram a random car into them, the driver wasn't knocked out) they left. Next. Tsukasa didn't go running in front of the sights of the gun (because it wasn't still there). Hans had Anzai pinned on the hood of the police car, she got out and tried talking to Anzai. That scene change adds to the idea that Tsukasa is stupid! She was standing between 2 police officers while trying to talk to Anzai. The pacing is still shit.... But, it is a LITTLE better with this episode. They still seriously screwed up the romance at the start, and fixing the pacing now, can't help THAT. For this episode, they animated parts of each- chapters: 6, 7, 8 and about 10% (in bits and pieces- skipping a lot between scenes) of chapter 9. Previously, they animated: Most of chapter 1, for episode 1, 10%-15% of chapter 2 & 30%-40% of chapter 3 for episode 2. And parts of each: chapters 4, 5 & 6 for episode 3. |

MoumoonChan said: ThreadFazer said: yes ,, totally agree with u ,, i don't even know why all this comparison to the manga and why all this hate :3 .. if they don't like it , they just have to drop it why the bother and the bad talk about the show :3Episode was pretty good, it show the good quality action. Loving this ship so far..fukk the haters. Uh.... The comparison to the manga, is because people like the manga and are extremely dissapointed (like me) that its been so messed up with the anime? That's why there are comparisons to the manga. Also, it's because others are assuming that the manga must be bad because of the way they messed things up with this anime.... And are treating manga readers like crap because they like it. I don't like it when people assume that something is crap because its anime is poorly done, when they never tried to read it. I don't hate the anime. I'm hoping it redeems itself. But, I (like other manga readers) am very dissapointed. I compare it to the manga, so that others can know that it isn't following the manga enough for them to act like it is crap without even trying it. |

| People always blame and whining about every anime if it get downgrade. Somehow, we are here to WATCH, not read, there is no relation and excuse. Stop fucking whining and always post about the manga is good, manga is better for literally EVERY fucking episode discussion. |

MoumoonChan said: windeen-windy said: okay ,, got your point .. i see that the manga is way too better than the anime does ,, but i'm talking about all this continuous argument about how the anime is bad .. this appeared from the first episode for the manga readers , so it's kinda offending to keep the same talk every episode , especially for the people who find the anime is good or interesting .. i hope u can understand my point of view :) Uh....

Stop fucking whining and always post about the manga is good, manga is better for literally EVERY fucking episode discussion. I'll do what I want, until told by a mod to stop. As far as I know, everything I've said is within the rules, I've tried to stick to the rules. You can ignore my posts if you see them, instead of ß!+¢hing about them. At least I'm not still watching an anime I've called "dogshit". |

| Man, this is so bad. Thank god it's only 12 episodes. |
 |
| Here comes a mysterious person,and we get to know some of the Anzai's past.pretty fine show so far. The actions are kinda intense too |
 Life is empty without anime |
| Hans Lee is definitely a higher class half human half devil just like Anzai! What happened to this episode is a bit of chaotic since the sniper had a accomplice and it's also a mess trying to subdue Anzai! oh man! Jill could not even manage to handle enraged Anzai! good thing Hans Lee would be helping Tsukasa help find Anzai and train him tolerance for blood! LOL suddenly a slasher went in killing some live broadcast reporter! i wonder what's their motive? maybe to lure out devils? 5/5. |
 |
| White-haired dude is a pretty smart guy. I like him. |
| Hans Lee IS spot-on. I have to give it that. Really liked seeing him animated. |
| |
| It's all a bit, well, frustrating. They didn't really put that much thought into the whole fight did they? Thinking about trying out the manga at this point |
| Better epi so far. Still kinda dull animation and bad on pacing. Tsukasa, you suck, lady...also, the director is not very good in fight scenes. So there is a anti-devil secret guerrilla trying to kill/incite to do crimes the crimes law-abiding devils, huh? Maybe they want to deport them from Japan and build a wall /lol Okay, this makes the setting a little bit less generic. Still needs some more work to be beyond a discount TG with less edgy and pretentious symbolisms plus lots of Twilight shanenigans in the middle. |
| FGO NA Code: 482.072.599 (F2P thug life of savings...) Ben-to! best nonsensical action anime. Ever. |
| Well... Her scare looks pretty cool, and she made a new friend, so something came out of this. I've noticed now that the action is nowhere near what it was at the start of the series... though that may be a good thing because the action just looked really weird at first, what we have now is pretty basic. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| Hans makes the other devils and humans look like retards XD The anti demon faction using live broadcasts now. |
 |
| Maybe its the fact that I like that its dealing with older characters with older character issues but this honestly has been engaging for me. Yes the animation is mediocre at best but for me its the story and what their doing with that relationship that keeps me interested. Having been in a previous relationship where my significant other was just as passive as Taira I get what's going on. It's clear this isn't for everyone which is why its being done by a small, unknown studio. I'm really interested in this anti-devil terrorist group. It's an interesting angle that all they want to do is expose Vampires and ostracize them from society...or kill them whichever is easier. |
 Credit goes to the guys at Minimalistic-Animoo Deviantart Group for the vectors. |
| The new character, the hair-white hybrid, half human and half vampire seemed a nice character!!! Horrible the last sequence when a man cut the neck in Live!!! :/ |
| "07" is very nice, had a hard past...but she must understand that not every devil is like the one who was with her mom... The guy with white hair is so cool! |
