| A comedy vampire anime? Sign me up! So far, I love episode 1. Animation is pretty decent as expected of Madhouse, and the OP is good while the ED is pretty standard. We will have a comedy duo of Saitama and Lelouch so there's that. |
 |
| I LIKED IT A LOT!! it's just a lighthearted comedy about a vampire hunter and a vampire who sucks at being a vampire. what more can you possibly ask for? i think it was pretty funny, the intro was good and i think the characters have a lotta potential definitely going to continue to watch and maybe start reading the manga. |
| we're boogers in the same... in the same nostril. |
| Nice surprise to hear Lelouch! Hahaha. Also John is so awwwww....I am SUPER curious about that ED featuring John looking for a castle....could that be how he met Draluc or did Draluc order him to search for a castle? Hmmmm..... |
:3 |
| Some parts of the episode made me laugh, other parts didn't. Seems pretty hit or miss for me so far, but I'm still interested in seeing where this anime goes. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| Huh... well that was pretty disappointing. The humor moves too fast and doesn't allow a ton of punch from the set-ups. The tsukkomi doesn't really work on either level; Ronaldo just feels like a mirror to the boke and the more deadpan tsukkomi are so flat it just kills the scene. Might stick around an episode for the waifu that's to come but otherwise this feels like an early drop candidate. |

| I absolutely loved this. The comedy was great, I love Draluc and Ronaldo already, it’s honestly exactly what I was hoping it would be. I can see myself laughing nonstop at future episodes. It’s the perfect goofy comedy imo, very excited to see more. The OP and ED were both very good as well, I can definitely see this being a favorite by the end of the season. I’m kinda sad to see this didn’t work for a lot of people, I was laughing the entire episode personally, ah well, comedy is like that I guess. |
KanameYuuki said: I didn't like so much the first half since it was just people screaming and I hate that but the second half was pretty good. Same here. Overall pretty much feels like one of those shows I'd watch in between anything I am seriously following. Not a bad thing, though. Might grow on me, will see. |
| I THINK it will be fine for most people, but for me the humour isn't QUITE clicking, I like some good old fashioned slap stick comedy but in this case it's on the border of being childish. Hope the rest of you enjoy this, but it's a drop for me |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| It was ok I guess. I really liked the deadpan delivery of the kid's dialog and when him insulting Draluc made him die. It's really heavy on the slapstick, I am wondering if they can make other forms of humour work. |
| This episode was wicked and hilarious!!! OP was so nice and catchy. That DANCE though!!!! Looking forward for the next eps. 4/5 |

| An alright start, but I got kinda tired of the whole "turn into sand gag" after a few times. |
| I watched the first episode and I didn't like it much... |
 |
| Some jokes were funny, but then it got repetitive too soon. |
| didnt expect much just by seeing the poster and reading the description but damn im really enjoying this lol comedy isnt Amazing but it works for me, definitely one of the shows that ill look forward to every week |
| This is going to be that one underrated show this season Isn't it? |
Just watch anime instead of looking at forums |
| Yikes that got annoying after like 5 minutes. Some funny moments, yeah, but overall it was just gratingly uninspired. Will give one more episode |
 |
| Oh yeah, I watched this yesterday on a whim because Madhouse. Well, not a big fan, the comedy felt forced & repetitive and it was a pain to finish the episode. Although, I think it got the light-hearted atmosphere and tone right. Might or might not stick around for the next episode |
| It's fun xd I liked the first episode, the opening and ending are very good. |
Stark700 said: It's hard to take this comedy series that's not meant to be the least bit serious seriously? Insightful as always.THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Yeah, it's kinda hard to take this show seriously with the amount of humor in this. Gotta give the show credit for all the humor though. I bet the VA enjoyed their work on this, especially for Draluc's character. It's also weird that so much screen time took place at a store, almost like they're trying to make this anime as normal as possible. |
 |
| oh god! Saitama & Lelouch is so damn noisy always screeching screaming! comedy is a bit corny for me. 3/5. |
 |
| I liked this episode a lot more than I thought I would, it's a little clever and the matchup is dumb but works perfectly considering how causal this is lol. Guitar dude situation was funny af too loool. Anyways, to more! Not sure why the score is low too lol. |
| Suna———- John is cute <3 |

| The MC looks a lot like Gintoki but unfortunately the jokes is not as funny as Gintama. |
| I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die. |
LOVE how catchy and vibrant the opening is! |
| Really love this show. This has so much more better comedy than the other supposed comedy that I'm watching, Mieruko-chan. It has been so long since I've watched something with this kinda classic animation with enjoyable dumb comedy. Love the OP, it's so enjoyable. The ED is good too. |
| I remember reading first few chapters and it wasn't very funny. Lelouch kinda improves it but not much. |
 |
| Not spectacular or anything but none of the jokes were particularly annoying, decent I thought |
| Okay, so the vampire is an interesting concept for a comedy character, but I'm not too sure about the execution. I expected death to be something that knocks Draluc out until, like, the next scene. But upon defeat, he revives in like, five seconds. He can even sometimes talk while dusted, so this whole "dying" thing really loses its bite. The Vampire Dies in No Time? More like, "the Vampire Respawns in No Time." They keep trying their hardest to play up the character as "what a weakling!!!" but I'm pretty sure that this guy, in practice, is indomitable, if not immortal. The only time he was implied to be in meaningful danger was when he stated he would have been 'a goner' had his corpse remained in the sunlight. Draluc is like a elder, but with all of the "I've fallen" and none of the "I can't get up!" As for other forms of comedy, this episode seems pretty rote. I'm really not a fan of 'retort' humor, and this anime really piles on the shots of Ronaldo's barking head popping in from the side of the screen. I feel like I've seen everything this anime has to offer, in one episode. Is that why comedy anime such as this one, make a habit of stuffing as many characters as possible into the OP, typically doing something wAcKy without initial context? as if to promise the viewer, "We have many more chara. gimmicks epic laffs up our sleeves! โ" Also, side note: โโโk the gamer kid. All my homies hate the gamer kid. Ugly-โโs face, constantly disrespecting, freeloading, or manipulating the MCs, and the worst part: he never emotes, ergo he cannot react comedically to anything, ergo he is never used as the butt of a joke, ergo he is immune to the whims of fate dealt by this anime, ergo he is incapable of receiving any form of comeuppance. The only good thing he has done for humanity was when he (reportedly) (technically) saved Draluc's life (supposedly). |
| Ahh, this was hilarious, can't wait for more~!>:'D> |
   |
| Decent start though the comedy is a bit too "in your face" and repetitive. |
| Unique duo of a failure of a vampire and renowned vampire hunter but I can already see John the armadillo is going to be best boi |
 |
| This was funnier than I was expecting, is an old school anime meeting modern times, loved the screwball-comdey pace this was going and a good balance between slapstick and quips, I thought Ronaldo just was going to be the one who scream/points out the silliness of the other one but if that autobiography gag is to go by or the way he carried his interrogation on why the kid got kidnapped he seems to be as silly as Draluc. When Draluc point out John was in room full of trap I was surprised it was true and not the typical "let me change you the past to make it funny" joke; the whole convenience store plot was probably was sold this show for me, okay maybe the line of "You would have killed a cosplaying tourist" that got me giggling like an idiot was the moment this episode was going to get a good response from me. I hope the following episodes are able to mantain the rhythm. John is so cute. |
| i'm ambivalent right now. like all comedy it's really hit or miss and has its moments. i thought the animation was a bit weird. not bad, just not what i'm used to. |
