I started watching the show, then started reading the manga and didn't care for it (stopped after chapter 14). I'm generally of the same attitude that most are here: keep it faithful to the source material. In this particular instance though, I find myself hoping that they stray from it.

Well now that I think about it my problems with the series lie mainly with Mina's character and how she's written, which probably isn't going to change.

I gave this series four episodes. I think that's long enough. Boring story. Forgettable characters. Bland animation. No reason to continue.

Why when it does not deform the forum and it's nice....Mina sucking her own blood in the classic setting of vampires not wanting to suck human but their own or of their vampire friend since it was clear of that in this episode that Mina supports the fang-less kids.

Because it's very well drawn and nice....notice it was the same thing in Nyan Koi and it is now in Hanamaru.....you should know I spoiler most of my things per respect anyways.

Well no, it doesn't deform the forum board, but it makes your post way longer than it has to be, thus more scrolling, resulting in annoyed grunts.
[rant]
And I wouldn't really say it's her own blood, she just happens to have gotten some blood on her, and she's licking it up. I mean, she isn't really anyone who'd hesitate on drinking someone's blood if necessary. Then again, they've got artificial blood which they distribute in the bund, so the vampires wouldn't go over to the human side when they need blood. And she's the ruler of the vampires, of course she cares for all her minions, including the fangless who're distanced from the normal vampires.

Longer? No the spoiler do it more than anything and I personally am still thinking about how to change that.

It could be her own blood still. I don't think she would drink anyone's blood just like that. Remember she said vampires choose their prey.

So it's a little like in Vampire Knight with the pills thing. No artificial blood is bad...they should drink their own it's better that way to survive among themselves.

This show is so weird. I like a lot of the stuff that they're doing with vampire lore and infrastructure, but at the same time, a lot of the execution, and mechanics used to contemporarize it feel very pedestrian. And it's all manifested in the Loli Vampire queen. Part of me likes the idea of an innocent looking girl with a sharp mind and tongue, but the way she is employed, sexualized, and made very weak bothers me.

Besides that, I liked how the episode played out.

The anime adaptation screw that part badly. But I agree with the" sexualized" part. Her other form is definitely not less "sexualized".

It's funny because she is purposely hiding her powers for reasons that may or may not be discussed in the anime.
bla bla bla
The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

This was the best episode so far but the most stupid thing is the fact that they didn't explain why there was a bomb going around in the first place. I was completely lost at that part.

OMG!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HATE CENSORS! If they suddenly are afraid to show her body then don't show her getting out of the bathtub at all instead of making my screen all white. That's fucking irritating.

Also i wish the director will not move the camera and change scenes all that much. I appreciate the different way of directing but you are overdoing it. I got a headache.

Not bad, but I'm far from in love with this series. The combat isn't bad. The political intrigue is beyond me to a point. I don't know if I don't care or if it's the matter of it being boring to me. I guess I'm just sticking with this because I care to see how werewolf knight x vampire queen relationship pans out.

Indeed, I didn't think that made sense at all, so I started to read the manga. In turns out that they skipped quite a number of scenes when they adapted it in the anime; particularly the bit where they actually find out that there is a bomb in the first place!

Okay first of all why would that vampire security leader bring a bomb with him? Wasn't he there to protect the Queen and yet he brought a bomb with him. Was he trying to assassinate the Queen also but doesn't have the nerve to do it?

Anyways the student council president was shown and it seems to be that she got raped by a bunch of vampires. Am I to assume that she's also a vampire now?

I like that they are showing a bit more of the political side of the story as that seems much more intersting to me than the MinaxAkira stuff right now. Also is the anime really depicting Mina as weaker than the manga or is she just pretending to be weak for various reasons? I haven't read the manga so I have no idea but in this ep it looked as if she was fully aware of the bomb issue and could have done something about it but purposely left herself seem vulnerable so that Akira could act.

SPOILERS:



If this discussion is still alive, I just wanted to say...
There's a part just after you see the lady getting bitten and the press conference has taken place. The Marquis gets a call from Akira asking if they tested everyone to see if they were human or vampire. He says no, even though everyone was tested when they got to the island.

Then Vera says that when they tested everyone, they were human.

I...just thought that was a plothole, but reading upon it, maybe Akira meant testing everyone when they got into the conference.

Definitely best episode yet! I loved everything about it (besides ripping off clothes..) and sudden developments were exciting.

However, I don't like how Mina is being vulnerable so Akira can help/save her. I mean, c'mon - she made a vampire kill itself by just saying it! :/

Anyways, I want to read the Manga now <333

I may not care for the ecchi in the series but I am not happy to hear that episode 4 was apparently censored. The sub is out already but they randomly have decided to censor it starting with 4. I hate censorship. Anyone know if any of the stations )AT-X) actually aired the uncensored version or if they will? I will not watch this series with any form of censorship in it.
Censors? Did not see any at all...where?

They censored the part after Mina got out of her bath.

Pretty good episode, but still couldn't like the animating style SHAFT used, the same one used for Bakemonogatari.

The princess and her private secretary person have no equal opposing force or resistance to their evil.

Every attack on the princess life has been staged by her. God help any woman who gains her attention. She had the schoolgirl kidnapped, raped and bitten, she had the journalist raped and bitten, had a bomb made and put in her then used her like a puppet, killed her live killed on camera (her plan all along) destroying all the evidence and all traces of her villainy.

She personally made sure all her army of wolf guards with FANTASTIC sense of smell were off guard duty and The Marquis whose security had been compromised [or was it] got the job. A.k.a: she deliberately put Swiss Cheese Security in place.

The episode plot wouldn't have been able to work with the wolf men around.

[Y'know... I don't think that reporter woman is dead. And if she is she was a vampire before this episode and walked into the building maybe knowing what her role was in the plan or was played.

The private secretary made a comment about some thing at the bottom of the elevator where they all wanted him to throw it down (how about out a window?)

It would be just the place for the villains to stash a body drained of blood. The bomb woud do a great job of blowing the evidence to bits.


If the location of this accident which happened to MC is on territory owned by Vampire Ltd. It's her who wiped his memory.

If any thing happens on land she owns or in a building she owns where she has Outrageous Security it's because she planned it or let it happen.

There are a lot of little things which when you notice them you're like... wow.

In the first ep for example. Some thing which was meant to be noticed... the reporter on the street with the red gloves and the purplish hair and the long coat. She said You!. Princess and the two minions who were performing exchanged shocked looks. That reporter was a vampire. And it's pretty obvious that TV company is one of her companies.

The economic problems of JP. I'm surprised some one hasn't raised the question. You Vampires know so much about it. You say in your own words you saw it coming and Just happened to acquire key companies with massive amounts of money no one knew you had.

Means Motive Opportunity. Some one within this anime world should pose or ask the question or debate / discuss on screen.

Did the Vampires engineer / cause the financial crisis they're blackmailing us with?

Although this anime. They'll be dead in an episode.

I'm surprised Japan's Self Defense Force hasn't made it's move yet. Or we haven't had the President etc have a security meeting.

The bombing threat there had more tension and suspense than the previous fight scenes. Probably the ridiculous transformations at fault there. Fun episode.
