Really enjoyed this episode!
Nice show-off from Guren right there, would love to get some background plot for him.
Awesome tease for next week's episode too ^^

Why would vampires have trucks and planes ... aren't they faster on foot?

What happens if more than one person wanted the same weapon, then what? It must be convenient that none of the three had conflicting interests. We already know which weapons they have in the OP, so there is no suspense at all.

Man, the animation was shit sometimes, with shit fluidity.

If Guren and Shinoa wasn't in this anime, this show would be really meh with all these crappy characters imo

booooooooriiiiiiiiiiing

holy shit its not only that this anime is plagued by every anime stereotype in the history of anime, but it also throws hours of expo-talk at the viewer about shit we already know and have seen multiple times before.

Just get the fucking demon weapon already holy shit.

Almost dropped this when I tough it will be a school-themed shounen, not because I hate school-themed but the odd change between the first episode and later. That was a huge turn off but I'm glad I'm back and give it more chance.

So the vampire claim that wasn't them who brought the virus to human world, but the Imperial Demon Army also couldn't be that trusted. Ugh, I hate the feeling of betrayal.

I wonder how much Yu will 'react' when he find out Mika is alive... and a vampire.

HONESTLY, Shinoa and Guren are two of the most waste characters i have ever seen. They try to be so cool and badass but they only come of as being the biggest fucking teases ever. They have no purpose in this show than to be a pain in the ass for the main character. Terrible characters, should just go fuckin die.

Overall, a meh episode ..... AGAIN for THE FIFTH STRAIGHT WEEK, stop giving screen time to Shinoa and stop making Guren a tease character, he could be so much better

Quite an interesting episode despite not an awful lot happening. The power of Guren's sword is pretty awesome, and the trial they're about to do seems really interesting. It sucks that I'll have to wait a week to see the rest of it.

The animation quality in general sure took a nosedive this episode..

it's like there just aren't any in-between frames at all.

Guren pulling out his black jizz was well animated, but pretty much everything else looked like total arse.

Oh boy, looks like my concerns from last week were confirmed. Only the music direction was completely fine compared to the animation direction this time. This episode was almost unwatchable. Aku no Hana and Kingdom S1 didn't distract from the narrative this much. It wasn't just the hyperactive fluidity either, character's faces sunk or fell apart a lot. It didn't help how padded out it was. I can only hope this is a matter of saving budget and maintaining a constant plan with the episode directors for future eps/experimenting with the animation in comedy scenes, in which case this episode won't matter in the long run as long if the rest go as planned. Unfortunately, the planning of the episodes has been all too suspect up till now so I'm not getting my hopes too high.

Shinoa also took a hit with the way the comedy was animated, she came off ten times more obnoxious than in the manga. I really hope they handle her differently later on.

Shinoa's teasing Yuu with his paper was hilarious! She just can't leave the guy alone. Well, that kinda did make him popular in the class though.

Guren going Bankai to test the students was the best scene. Those aura and eerie sounds probably took up most of the budget for this episode. Pretty sick!

The weapon selection part was a big dragged out, but that nothing major to complain about. Hope they don't resort to this frequently just to fill up the duration time.

Decent episode. Looks like Yoichi will be possessed by the demon next week. Yuu will probably end up saving him though.

Actually I thought the animation was really amusing this week. Yes some of it was different from the rest but it was fluid and gave a lot of character to....the characters. It wasn't very clean like the rest of the animation but I really liked it. People calling it bad animation don't know what they're talking about because animating scenes like this takes an incredible amount of frames and there where multiple scenes in this episode with long walk cycles and characters that were constantly moving, I even spotted some mouth syncs which are rare in anime. Faces can't be perfect in every single frame in scenes like that

"Unwatchable episode"? Seriously, there were only a handful of scenes with "that" animation, the other 95% was the same as last week.

Nice cliffhanger ending, SnK used to do this shit too.

In fact, this reminds me a lot of when Eren was trying to get his 3DMG. Without the edgy demons.

That paintbrush filter the backgrounds have. Just ew. It's not making the art look anymore grim, just repulsive.

An overall decent episode, but there was ponderous build-up to something that didn't even happen in this episode. It's okay I guess.
Why do people have such bad taste? Anime isn't subjective anymore.

Probably the worst episode so far. Did they just forget to do the in between frames for some of the scenes? The art and animation was horrible to the point where it became quite distracting and they also need to do something about that darn pacing. We're five episodes in and the story is progressing at the pace of a snail which is bringing down the series for me. Also how do people even like Shinoa? The way her character has been portrayed so far makes her straight up obnoxious. I don't know how anyone found it hilarious but that scene where she took Yuu's test was pretty awkward.

Although the only redeeming quality this episode was some of Mikaela's scene and the little development on the vampire's side. Too bad we can't see more them right now because they're more interesting compared to Yuu's boring interactions in the school

Loved this episode. Not sure what everyone is complaining about with the animation. i thought it was good. The giant demon faces in the background at the end were hella creepy.

And I'm rather enjoying the slow pacing. I hate it when shows move too fast and don't give time for the characters to build.

Goddamn was this padded with shitty cliche dialogue. The choppy animation didn't help. I actually thought the animation was good for a moment but my computer was lagging but then realized that this was how it actually looked. Maybe this one was outsourced?

Characters weren't built at all this week. All they did was repeat their usual quirks and re-state motivations until the end of the episode. It was wasting time.

The only new information was that scene with the meeting near the start.

Also Guren pulling out his weapon on the class was pretty cool.

And Shinoa being a troll keeps things interesting.

But other than that....

Animation quality definitely suffered in this episode. I think it was part of why the overall pacing of the episodes feel slow, aside from the content.

Still don't understand this huge love for Shinoa, this was the part where of the series where she still really got on my nerves. I'm not loving her VA either tbh :/ I'll wait until we see the more serious side of Shinoa before I judge though.

Anyways, I kind of liked the part they added with Mika actually (with the two kids). That wasn't in the manga.

Pretty excited to see how they animate the demons next episode :D

P.s. just wanted to comment on the soundtrack, it's pretty awesome!
