Hated it. The cinimatic angles are really starting to piss me off and the art is still bleh. In this episode while the hit squads are hunting the booby-trapped vampires he punches through and pulls a pill out of one vampire, then squishes the pill in his blood soaked hand, yet in the same episode Mina makes a huge deal about a pill falling towards a pool of blood. Inconsistencies for the lose.

I really like Bakemonogatari and the manga for Vampire Bund is pretty decent but the anime has just been getting worse and worse to the point it's almost unwatchable - the only reason I waste 24 minutes and 200 megabytes on this shit is because I've already watched more than half of the series.

The only explanation I have for this is it only works with vampire DNA?

Blood contains DNA last I checked.

I think it has to do with the amount of blood it reacts with in relation to the amount of chemical in that pill. The more blood, the more volatile the reaction, but I agree that they didn't really thought this through all too well.

I still think my initial judgment was right: this show is getting better with each episode.

So now we're getting to the 3 Clans arc? Will we get what most fans are waiting for:
?

That was a really good episode. The animation was actually really fluent.
The action scenes were also really good.

But why the hell are they using the old ED again? The new one was better. ;__;

Yeah your spoiler thing....seen it already and it's censored for most of it....probably will be censored in #11 too. What I meant by vampire DNA is the blood composition that only vampire have in that blood.

Yeah it hurts the eyes to watch that god awful thing, even more so combined with the crappy art and total overuse of strange angles and massive eyes shots -.-'

And as always it all feels very rushed and you don't really get any deeper feeling our the characters motives behind it all, this would be so gone if I wasn't reading the manga.
Still quite decent for an SHAFT episode.


One thing though, am I the only one who would have waited a few years more before becoming a vampire if I where that boy? Who would want to be a small adolescent child for the rest of their lives? O.o
And speaking of eternity I would definitely not hook up with one person for all that time either, imagine just seeing the same face every single day for just a hundred years =O
Your bound to get bored and annoyed by that person and their ways sooner or later so why fight the inevitable.

At least this episode wasn't as bad as the others. Anyway, this episode was good. 8/10 for me. I guess they're finishing it at that point, huh? Mhmm... as long as they don't mess the animation up for the last three episodes then I'll be happy.

Seriously though, that style is buggin'. About that boy... could have waited a few years or so for his penis to grow. I mean, think about it. To pound a vampire? Sounds way more pleasing than normal, boring human sex but that's just me. Maybe being a vampire means more blood flow down there therefore bigger size.

Oh ...
When he will be a vampire, he will have "a monster form" no ?
So why he will not have a demon form with eighteen big d**** ? O_O
And he will pound really hard his big sister ?
Oh sh ... It's not a new hentai ? XD

Wait they're trying to bomb the subway and Hysterica is supposed to trigger all the bombs with a cell phone? So they can only target stations with a PDC or CDMA signal? I don't know how strong the signals are in Japan but I usually don't have any in most subways which limits the damage that can be done.

Why don't they just ask the vampire-bombs to trigger their self-destruction near foundations of buildings which will provoke mass destruction and panic? Remind me again how vampires became the master race...

Oh yeah and the two people above Siva are nuts. xD Well at least they can live out their shotacon dream for eternity. Unless Nanami's fetishes change...

I don't know why SHAFT decided to make a good show half-way through the production. It's a little too late, but I guess I appreciate it. And even though I hate loli/shota crap, this was justified enough in the plot and characters for me to reign in my disgust. But since we've had every other form of fanservice...let's gay it up now. They're pushing every other boundary, and it would just be cowardly not to go that direction.

Technically, vampires are supposed to be extremely sensual creatures... Most "deviant" sexual activities are no taboo to vampires. Actually, I liked this episode as it portrayed the nature of vampire really good. And the animation improved and Akira got his memories back. In other words, the anime is back on synch with the original manga, unlike the weird first half of the season.

I know. But the difference in these two episodes is that I feel like they're justified in the plot. Mina being a little girl still feels like an arbitrary attempt at pandering to the demographic, and the semi-lesbian thing thrown at the end of this episode felt like more of the same. The shota stuff is the first time where I felt like it was important to the story, universe, and character relationships.

I really don't like posting here due to the number of idiots, etc in this community, but I have to at least say this: they're using that ED clip again because the ED theme started before the episode "ended." They're not dumb enough to start playing 40 seconds of the ending theme animation, but if you disagree and think that they should've started the ending theme animation from the middle, then you're... not thinking with a sane mind.

Ever heard of timing?
There's been loads of anime which started the ending theme before the episode ended, and it perfectly fitted, animation and all. For example, Railgun episode 23. The timing was perfect.
SHAFT's just being lazy, as usual.

Wait, wait....if I heard right he is 10 years old right? You saying at 10 he can't get a erection? Wrong it is possible and you all saying he will not grow? What? Since when vampires don't grow till 18 and stop there....I though it was like that.....

No I agree with that in mind but the new ED from last time is better in every sense but I got your point.

Now, now my friend Jumperboy333 the person does have a point about how it was though of but but your point is valid also SHAFT is just lazy therefore not efficient and the conclusion rests on bad planning everything including the staff needed for this anime to make.

Yeah, you'll see why Mina is hiding in a little girl form in the next arc. In fact you have seen her true form and she is actually an adult.....The 3 Clans have somethign to do with it....

Shame SHAFT screwed this up badly though....Now they are just starting to redeem themselves....

I've been lukewarm towards this show AT BEST. But hell, I really liked this one! It was a bit clever, with just enough blood and asskicking for my palette.

But boy this show loves to dabble in forbidden (or at least strange) loves. I tried to ignore the loli love; I tried to ignore the vampire having the hots for werewolf love; but I was quite surprised when the boy opted to become a vampire (looks that way anyway) and go the eternal shouta love route. Stunned!
