The episode was predictable but it was still ok. Nothing mind blowing or anything of the sorts. I have a fair bit of question and I hope I get my answers like why does the virus affect only those older than the age of 13. The next episode preview has me worried because I don't see the point of building a school when the world is in ruins. Seems really unnecessary to me.


Actually with the entire world in ruin, education becomes that much more important. A school with uniforms is stupid though, like holy shit.. way to force the HS setting there guys. I don't think they built that school either, they probably just used one that was already there. Also I suppose that virus is gone now or something? That dude in the cloak is clearly over 13 and the MC is 16 at the end of the ep.

That introduction was intriguing. A virus of some sort killing humans except those ages 13 and below. Then vampires came in had all the "fun".

That was tragic. As assumed, protagonist is on a mission to avenge his family. Joined the humans to obtain power. Sounds very familiar.

Wow, his family...it was pretty sad.

Now seeking vengeance, I love that. Reminds me of...some amazing anime I've watched before.

A strong first episode, it kept me interested from the start until the credit started rolling. The backstory was pretty cool and so far i'm liking the main character. Im definitely gonna keep on watching this, just a bit sad it's only gonna be 12 episodes but I guess that's understandable since the manga only have 30 chapters so far.

It's 24 episodes actually. This is a split-cour though so the other 12 episodes will be airing in Fall. The anime will be going further than the current chapters but the author is working with the studio and supervising the anime so there's nothing to worry about it going anime-original ending.

Lol![/spoiler]

That opening scene. Rip humanity....

I liked the background art. I didn't foresee all the children being slaughtered then and there. It was shocking I guess, but I didn't feel the emotions intended.

That curry looked pretty delicious.

I look forward to see how revenge ends up shaping the mc.

It should definitely be a great adaptation, there's a lot of things going for it. I look forward to see how they adapt certain parts.

Anyways, I'm just excited for Yuu to kick some ass next episode!

I felt this was sort of a let down. The art, animation, and sound are very well done, but I don't really think that the rest of this episode redeemed it. Yu is literally a copy pasted Eren. The whole "we are a family thing" was way too forced and had, in my opinion, little to no affect on me. Thanks to the preview, we all knew from the start of the episode what would happen to the orphanage members.


Overall I'll give this first episode a 2.5/5. I really hope it steps up it's game in the future.

This show is a big "?" mark for me. It's certainly too early to judge, but can't say it hooked me after the first episode. Will watch a couple more episodes before deciding to either stick with it or drop it.

I had the bad feeling the moment Ferid appeared, damn.

It was good, the art overall was great with the character design as well as the background. Smells like tragedy all over the place so I'm just wondering if it's gonna be like Akame ga Kill where everyone just fucking dies...

I like it, it's gonna fuck me up so I'm gonna continue watching.

Considering how rushed the first chapter is in manga too, I think they did a decent job with adaptation. I just wish they had taken a bit more time with Yuu and Guren's first encounter.

OTOH I love how rustic and rough the background art looks.

Though... mfw when they take out some yaoi vibe from Ferid and Mika and decide to give that to Guren and Yuu lel it's about Ferid and Mika!

It's supposed to be more of a surprise more than anything though. Like the overused scenes of a cute dog jumping on a human in most stories.

Well, the progenitors stuff and vampires do go hand-in-hand in most stories so it's really nothing imo.

Also I definitely agree that the MC was the worst character in the lot, even with everyone else getting zero development. He does seem like a clone of the typical hothead MC. But I suppose that's better than another tatsuya and inaho.

It was good first episode that shown the setting of the world.

Still this setting isn't suited for 12 episode anime, meaning there will be no ending.

Orginally when I watch the PV and heard something about vampires feeding on small children I was like "..." but it wasn't as bad as I thought so hurray., I guess.

It was a pretty good start. It kind of remembered me of SNK ,though. The children are like walking blood-bags.
The ending part was a little sad with all that kids dying :C

Vampires. Humans fight them. Sublime premise.

This show comprises of many vapid facets I've seen before, but I really hope this doesn't disappoint. I'm somewhat captivated by the concept, however the world building is practically this show's lifeline and if it holds back with the tragedy this show is going to be mundane. All those kids dying one by one made me realize this.

Not to mention this show looks awkward as well. The characters are well animated and look decent for the most part but the background has this mucky paint brush filter, and I hope it doesn't become a hindrance to the rest of the show's presentation.

Overall I'm interested, not too hyped for what's to come but I'll stay tuned in.
Why do people have such bad taste? Anime isn't subjective anymore.

You're right. Im 100% pleased with my bishies. I think the author does it on purpose to please us fujoshi since he is also the creator of legend of legendary heroes which displays not just a female harem but also a great amount of gayness between best friends... He presents action, lolis and boobs for boys and very very close male friends for girls= more fans= more money coming in.


As for the episode... As a manga reader I'm pleased with first ep!;D *0*

The Sawano OST and background art was pretty good, but the characters and story like really bland and generic, with some gratuitous fujoshi-bait here and there.

That was ok. It felt a bit rushed but there really wasn't any other way around it...
I expected the animation to be better, but it's not like I'm disappointed either. Eh, pretty much everything about this episode was in the ok-zone for me.

I felt that too...


On a side note, hadn't I read the manga, I'd probably end up dropping this after a couple of episodes. The manga had me eye-rolling several times in the early chapters and if it weren't for my faith in the author and my love for the art style...then I'd also have given up on it really fast. I'm glad I didn't.

This series has a shamelessly clichéd start. (Oh the next episode will be even worse... No worries though, Shinoa can make everything and anything worthwhile.) But if you can make it past that, there's good things in store later on.
