This series is so random, it's really refreshing. Each week I look forward to the unpredictable events that occur in this mad environment... This is by far the best comedic anime this season, and perhaps my favourite anime this season. It's so ridiculously interesting - every character has their own, unique personality and appearance, it's really visually appealing. The OST and opening/ending are fantastic too. I can't wait to see how this progresses, and hopefully nothing is rushed as it's 12 episodes. ^-^

Aligura has such a cute voice but I'm pretty sure that she's the scariest girl I have ever seen lol. That chick is psychotic but her personality made up for it xD

This episode was just pure craziness from start to finish and I freaking loved it xD The last scene with Leo and the ghost was really cute btw and I totally ship them now

P.S. Why do the girls like the new dude with the liquid blood....He looks like a fuckboy lol...He's not one in any way and I love his character a lot but he look so dam weird xD

i really loved the episode! the shoe in general. Imo that jumpiness is one of my favorite anime methods.
and by the way, I might be the only one who noticed it, but when leo takes white to the movie the background song is in Hebrew (maybe because I'm one of the few hebrew speakers who watches it). don't you think it's a bit odd? like for me this is the first time i heard an OST with hebrew songs.

Yeah there is something about that bothering me too. I remember an anime with a similar pace, Soul Talker was it... Well can't really pinpoint it either.

The best and funniest episode yet!!! I'm glad to see Leo and White are finally closer but I have a feeling that White might died permanently in the final episode. Hope I'm wrong.

Lmao, this episode was epic. Aligeria is awesome, the love between her and pretty boy is amazing. I burst out laughing when Leo started coughing like a maniac when he heard the vehicle was gonna get destroyed. And that flight towards the end... so majestic.

I'm glad he got together with ghost girl, or at least closer to her - she seems cool. I LOVED the Arnold Schwarzenegger/Danny DeVito reference.

Something about this series is just enjoyable to watch. Unlike other shows this season, I always end up saying after finishing an episode, "Damn, I love this". Always something new and the music/characters are amazing. By far the best ED I've seen in a while as well!!

Hell yes that ending!!! Leo x White = OTP

Definitely ship of the season.
- has girl problems in the beginning of the episode
- makes it up to her by sneaking her out for a movie
- "you're a good guy Leo"... *moves closer. initiates arm wrap*

White best girl.

Love how there was just an abundance of comedy this episode. The scooter riding. Getting beat around as a hostage. Then they absolutely shit on the movie Twins at the end there. As if it wasn't bad enough, then they decided to make a 5 minute parody on it basically reinforcing how bad that movie was.

Loved the ep. Always need more White though.

This was the most amusing episode yet. Deldro and Dog were just awesome. Aligura was a little twisted, but it was a good idea to merge them together.

the official/engrish names are so weird
In the official manga releases, the names are Doug Hammer and Aligula (as in, Caligula with no C)

Dog Hummer is spelled the same way in katakana but man it's dumb

This anime is really something. It's wacky and crazy yet so entertaining and intriguing. I like how each character has very unique abilities, mostly to do with their blood. Deldro and Dog Hummer were pretty cool. xD Aligura was just too darn crazy haha. That last moment with Leo and White was really sweet. though. Great episode!

Oh man, great episode like always! So Klaus has a brother huh ... that was unexpected :O Not to mention being voiced by Mamoru of all people ... no wonder everybody loves him :') Although OK, being loved by a crazy vampire who takes over your body by filling it up with her boyfriend is probably something I could do without ... XD Poor Leo, being kidnapped and having a conversation tortured ... :P Plus seems some other of the Elders were watching too, like that seemingly normal-looking guy with glasses ...
Then of course all that talk about love got Leo moving by asking White to see a movie! :O Although ... uh, isn't she a ghost? I'm so confused ... so how was she talking to that other person and having to get "sneaked" out of the hospital?! Maybe I missed something ... >_<

Ahaha. Despite my many reservations this is the show of the season. It's not ideal, but it's big, and ambitious, and pretty, and it actually uses the fact that it's animation to create awesomeness. Better plot and better battles could've made it even better, but I like it as it is.

Aligura is an impressive character. She reminds me of Harley Quinn, and her introduction is very western comic-like in general, but the love talk torture is a great idea.

Clearly I was confused about something: I thought White was a ghost, but I guess she's just a long-term patient at the hospital.

This show is different from others: there is a lot of buildup, but the fights themselves are quick and easily won by the heroes it would seem.

There's something about the pacing of the episodes of this show that I strongly dislike. It's hard to identify what the issue really is, but it leaves me with my brain in a knot.


I think it has to do with the nonlinear storytelling format which most people aren't use to. I mean for me I highly enjoy that type of story format because I love figuring things out than it rather telling me straight. I mean just imagine if Cowboy Bebop was aired today it would definitely have some mixed views because most people like thier story told straight to them in a linear form.


I like the pacing specifically because you can't approach it traditionally like you would otherwise to appreciate it. You really have to go back and forth like a game dungeon to sort out things that are normally let out in the open for you to see. White's role so far in the story is a good example. Ghost with shady family ties? So not a ghost still with shady family ties? Into what I suspect is a vampire suffering from some supernatural illness that exaggerates about her condition saying she is a ghost to fuck with MC? Who the hell knows, but if you want to then you have to stick around. It's a lot of puzzle work and hypothetical scenarios which I like.

This is one of the more quirky techniques used to keep the viewer perpetually in the dark but still entertained that I adore. I like solving puzzles and using my mind to fine roundabout ways of approaching a problem so maybe that's why I'm in love with this sort of style.

Tbh, I am not sure it will make sense in the end - doesn't look like that to me. It seems to be more of the random and awesome type than the puzzle that clicks together in the end type. But I am absolutely fine with it. I like when worldbuilding happens along the way.

It's because they're putting on average, 140-180 pages of content into about 20 minute episodes, while skipping over other arcs altogether and establishing White's storyline which is detached from everything else

Loads and loads of fun. I just love it. Wildly entertaining episode. Like someone stated previously, even the villains are a delight to see on screen. Every character has loads of quirks and charms.

Dear Lord, someone get my that soundtrack please. The music continues to be more and more excellent as time goes on.

My only real issue with the show is that it feels like it has no real sense of direction. We get introduced to some stuff in previous episodes, but then it's like it's completely gone the next. I wish the overall storytelling was better, because I love what this series has to offer. It just seems stretched too thin with no real sense of direction.

Other than that, top notch everything really. I adore the style this show has with the hip hop and new york city. And the backgrounds are drop dead gorgeous.

Hell, even the show's website's style is incredible. It also gives you a better look at the breathtaking backgrounds.

Well might as well post my thoughts here.

The randomness that keeps on popping out actually somehow contributes to the plot.Aligura kinda creeped me out with all her description of "cooking " skills.

What really works for this show is every single character until now has got their chance to shine someway or the other.We don't know too much about the villains and that only increases your curiosity about what they are really upto.

I really like Klauss and Zapp.To play a game for 99 hours just to get information which might affect humanity's survival in this apocalyptic setting(if I might call it) without thinking about consequences against someone who has wasted 1200 years on that game(wtf?lol) truly shows how determined Klauss is.Zapp also has his own unique way of showing concerns for his fellow members in Libra(though that might be violent at times).Leonardo's eyes are pretty cool.

And it just goes to show,with the addition of certain monologues how much difference there can be in the portrayal of characterization of a character and make people like him.

The ending couple of minutes were also cute.

What a bloody brilliant episode! The best so far by a huge amount and that's with the others being phenomenal already. I think with this episode Kekkai Sensen has earned its place as my anime of the season. Looking forward to the next episode, and hoping for some further Leo and White progression. A week wait though... I shall go insane.

Huh ?? Why Kekkai has so few comments? Not a masterpiece in an absolute sense and does not make a drama series by TV tearjerker; but his dirty work it is doing in a dignified manner. Mah! It is true then, that the way is twisted. Return to us, pleasant episode, very funny and entertaining. Also I prefer a story a bit 'more serious, but this light-hearted tone does not bother me; because it seems genuine and not forced or pretentious. Then just admire the scenery fascinates me, but not only them. I look forward to the next episode immediately.

The references (Hainz ketchup and the movie), Aligura in general and Leo being adorkable around Whyte.
At least that's what did it for me.
