Lol, that was funny. Oh Staz silly you. Looks kinda silly so far and with the skull and all. Fuyumi is cute though! A bit shy but cute. Oh but her life is different now :3

Definitely a decent start so far. I've read the manga awhile so might re-read parts of it again to get a bits of a refreshment. Oh the ending was what I expected though. OP song was okay as well.

They stuck to the manga pretty well, which i'm happy about, the pretty much covered chapter one nicely. The seiyuus where okay too, but the art and everything else was too... childish per say? Not sure which word i'm looking for tbh, but I was hoping Blood Lad would be more darker then this, especially when Staz kicked the plant guys ass.
Blood Lad without it's dark element is not Blood Lad. :(
OP and ED where okay.

Meh. The comedy was cheesy compared to Hataraku Maou sama. That anime set a bar too high for shows of this kind.

The first episode was very decent. The Art the OP & ED were pretty good. Going to stick to this series from now on.
And Fuyumi is damn cute :3

OP is not bad. I like the ED!

The voice makes me think he's voiced by Kimura-san, not Ohsaka-san. He's so funny though, a vampire who doesn't eat humans. lol~ he just fell in love with a dead human girl, and how he defeated the enemy. lol @ the creature. Such a convenient, a vampire who can change to whoever he wants.

YES FINALLY! Hilarious! XD

Loved it a lot :D

Staz was done perfectly :D Love the dude XD

Also Dat OP <3

Can't wait for Beru!!! <3

Really hope they start translating the manga more now >_<

From the OP I can see a lot of characters that shouldn't be able to appear within 10 eps. I wonder what that means?

That was hilarious, Staz really does give that same feel as Maou. I haven't read the manga but from the first episode I really can't predictable what's going to happen next.

Why did Staz suddenly lose interest in Fuyumi? Is it because she was a human that his vampire instincts made him attracted to her?

Looks like this will be an interesting anime to watch this season :3

finally the anime :)

Enjoyed it, everything was fine just expected it to be darker... dunno why but I dont like the colorful animation.
It's not that bad, just when Staz was beating that plant guy they could have gone for more serious or darker animation.

I agree. When looking at the pages of the manga, I thought the color palette was supposed to be a gloomy kind of one. Now when looking at the anime it seems much brighter.

Still being upset about the fact that Staz isn't voiced by Okamoto Nobuhiko T w T He would be perfect as Staz.
And this episode was also very high paced. But that's probably just so they can quickly get to the good stuff O u O

Yes, now she's a ghost and doesn't have her human blood anymore. Staz was attracted to her blood.

I also can't wait to see Beru next episode! (:

Staz is so badass and hilarious (can't stop laughing when he was looking for the answers in a manga. And a dragonball manga! Haha).

Yes, the animation is kinda colorful. But still okay.

Man, I love this first ep just because of Staz's comment about Final Fantasy.

"Wait they're up to THAT many already? That's not FINAL at all" or something LOL

From what ive skimmed of the first chapter, it seems like they adapted it really well so far.

Its a bit more....colorful? Then what I was expecting.

Overall I enjoyed it.

Really liked it to my surprise, the preview was rahter meh but the first episode was good and actually funny at some points. I like the main character, he's funny and has some sick fighting skill (crushing someone's heart from a distance? pretty cool) though I'm nota fan of the extreme fanservice and the huge boobs of the female character -_-
Anyway I'm very interested how things will turn out once they enter the human world

Omg.. this series is epic. I missed Maou already because Staz reminds me of him especially that they have the same seiyuu :)
Fuyumi is cute too. But poor her, she died and she became demon.
Lol at Staz ... he lost the interest to Furumi.

Hell yes. My most anticipated anime of the summer season is finally out!!!

The voices for the cast are pretty good so far, although I am still not used to Staz having Maou's voice! The animation style is pretty unique, but it fits the atmosphere.

Judging from the opening, Beru's mom is there!!! Oh my God. It seems that arc will be adapted as well and hopefully it will be adapted.

Hahaha. The epic Dragon Ball reference.

On the ending, LOL. Ahahaha. Lot of spoilers/foreshadowings.

I can't wait to see Wolf, Liz, and Braz! This is the anime to look forward in the weekend!

10 episodes, really? 'Cause judging from the OP they are going to adapt a lot.

I liked the first episode, wasn't as funny as expected it to be but I can see the effort the studio put into the adaptation which gives me high hopes.

I haven't read the manga or anything, and I was just expecting some dumb fun. I got what I was looking for.

I tend to like anime like this, if they are going to have girls with huge tits and a bunch of stupid shit going on I prefer they don't take themselves too seriously. This anime certainly doesn't take itself too seriously. It was slightly better then I expected, I really liked the art style, and all the references. Plus, the main character is a weaboo vampire. 4/5 :)

Anyone else notice the Gundam Newtype sound effect when she remembers how she ended up in the demon world? I'm guessing there's going to be a lot more references and parodies to come up in this show.

I loved that part too XD Also seeing the title of the manga he was reading...Dra-gumball. Hilarious. This looks like a really fun anime. They picked the perfect seiyuu for Staz too, Ohsaka Ryota seems to be getting main roles recently and he's doing a great job at it. I also like the animation style, it suits the comedic tone. Looking forward to seeing them in the human world.

There were tons of references, I'm sure we'd probably notice a ton more on a second viewing.
