Wow, can anyone say Twilight?


The manga is nothing like Twilight.
People are getting that feel from it, because they have SERIOUSLY screwed up the pacing in the anime.
The only thing similar is the fact that its a human and a vampire (he's not even a full vampire. His mother is human) in love!
Nothing else seems similar!
These vampires are also NOT

The teacher's name is Keiji Ochiai.
As for his voice actor... I'm not sure either.
It did sound sort of like I had heard it before. But nothing about the voice actors lists who plays him.
It might be one of the regular VA cast playing him since he's not really worthy of having his own VA. It is annoying that I know that voice but can't place it. If it's one of the other VA's, then they might be altering their voice to sound a bit differently from whichever character they are playing.
If it's any of them, I'm thinking it might be Dr. Yanagi- who is played by: Satoshi Hino.... but I might be wrong that it's him. And the sleaze of a teacher might actually have his own VA.

The pace kinda slow a bit. If it picks up would be a good show. If they can't turn another into vampires it would be rather ok show. Also if they can die as well. Aren't humans but not undead.

Can be controlled but not exactly as impossible to not c blood totally... so devastating.

This girl who gets attacked by guys somehow managed to sneak past some cops and head to the roof of the building where the vampire was at? Yeah, OK. Wonder how many times he snuck into her room to sniff her while she sleeps before he got caught lol.

I want to say fuck this shit I'm out but I also want to wait and see what's up with the guy with heterochromia. My guess is he's some vamp-human hybrid?

This series has me cringing so hard I've left my body. It's bad, real bad and not the so bad it's good kinda bad. Not to mention the character design between the male MC and the female one look jarring next to each other.

Better than I'd expect.This show is a decent shoujo romance anime,and they described the conflicts among vampires pretty well.Although the professor part is kinda sudden,I guess it's not a big issue.

MC Girl was cuter this episode, and Anzai was also cuter this episode, but turns out blood lust is a problem for him... and the dudes a real creep, it's a good thing the girl likes him OR THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN WEIRD AS HELL. Also Sensei dude turned out to be a rapist... so ummm... that was a thing. This anime is stupid. But I like it.

This is clearly not a show for me or for anyone with enough active neurons, it's purely nauseating to watch, shitty opening that is borderline attack on titan , why lord, why, awkward sound effects (moans,groans, sobs) bland female MC that lacks common sense, drama pulled out of ass that I couldn't care about, it's all fanservice meant to wet prepubescent teenagers, it goes to lowly extents to bring some shock value trying to make the viewer gain sympathy for the couple. Dropped.

lol i can't stand the awkward sound effects either, is cringy as hell :)))
and the blood spattling in "screen" gee
and the girl MC has nothing special


Oh, I'm glad to know I wasn't the only one bothered by those, they were making me very uncomfortable to the point of pausing from one minute to other struggling to finish the damn episode, my brain cells were faintly screaming "stop it, you'll kill us". She could be easily replaced by any otome female protagonist or any bland damsel in distress generally.

The wannabe romantic moments fall flat and are embarrassing to witness, the camera angles aren't that bad , the animation is the only actual decent trait of the show, of course that alone cannot save it from being trashy.

Last week I said to myself "Meh, I'm gonna watch one more episode." but I was sooo sure that I was gonna drop this series after this episode. Well, I won't. It's really edgy as hell, sometimes cringy and everything but finally a bloody anime without censorship, and it's not afraid to show us the rough scenes. Moreover I ship Azai and Tsukasa so hard I can't even understand why (I usually go for the gay ships with such enthusiasm). So at some point during the episode this whole edgy mess became somehow entertaining.

yes i think you're right , but i don't think it's Satoshi hino's voice ,if so i could figure it out bc he's one of my fav voice actors .. but anyway thanks for your answer ^^

Ya know they're really trying to make a plot where Tsukasa is this seemly stupid girl, who has a bad sense of timing when she could have just give anzai' wallet to the cops, and return the book in the morning.....Anzai on the other hand seems to be a stalker.

I'm starting to think that this story plot would depend on tsukasa being in trouble and Anzai come to the rescue......

Btw some rape scene that was we didn't even get to see Tsukasa's nipples.

"I thought silence was consent."

So that's why this show is in the 6000's.

But seriously, I bet that line triggered a lot of people, and not the internet's definition of the word. The sad thing is that there are people who still believe this to be true.

Others don't seem to think they skipped important stuff, but they did. A lot of things! They animated around 85% of chapter 1 for ep 1, then maybe about 10%-15% of chapter 2 and 40% of chapter 3 (40% might be giving them too much credit) for episode 2 (not to mention they added things that weren't in the manga).

Maybe I've been spoilt by other excellent stories, but man that was lame. Each secene felt forced. The art is simply ugly, and I don't really care for any of the characters.

1. orphan
2. half vamp hunting his own kind
3. works for special police
4. has to control his lusts

BORING. Give something more original please.

The manga also had a rough start, but this adaption has cut out a lot of the early friendship stuff between Anzai and Tsukasa. Like how he takes breaks in between jumping around on her balcony because her place is in his route and he was worried about her [he also thought that the guy from the first episode was her boyfriend, I'm not sure if the anime will include that part, I think they already skipped it], and she sees him and tries to chat with him a lot, it's very cute. Anzai also takes a nap with her after she invites in him to warm himself, they cut that out as well.

I mean, it's a GOOD anime so far, but it could've been GREAT if given a two cour. :/
[I enjoy seeing this animated, and it isn't like the plot has been BUTCHERED or anything, but definitely thinned out. The VA for the main cast is really good too.]

TBH, i think it's better than episode 1. Maybe because we didn't get chasing scene. This episode focused in building relationship of tsukasa x anzai.

Next episode will be fun, there are some action. Keeping low expectationfor now because action scene in episode 1.

That still felt out of pace again. Seems like the show's too much focus is about the growing relationship between Anzai and Taira, with some information from vampire cases, about how a relationship between vampire and human develops. About the female vampire, I don't know about how's it in the manga, but that felt rushed, her case just came out fast and we only a get a glimpse of backstory about her and her husband.
Those Anzai's punches, serves you right, to the rapist.
From blood to urge lust is really emphasized with Anzai unbuttoning his pants scene.

This show is a fucking disaster. I dont know what what they wanted to be.
First a fucking crazy weird girl want a random man's dick when she is a fucking cold hearted person to her childhood friend.
Then a lifeless stalker SJW half-zombie police appear like he dont have anything to do.

Then what she is trying to do going out when already late night, right after being told to be careful? Fucking awful writing. Good luck watching this boring lame plot.

Droped, i dont get anything but disgusted.
I cant even enjoy about the romance +17, because idiot braindead, irrational personality and ugly + boring look character.

I hope we don't have to wait that long... It will be very painful, if we do. That would be about 4 more episodes (unless this is planned to be longer than 12 or 13 episodes- which might be the case, since the episode number still isn't posted. But if its longer, I hope it gets better soon)...
The script writer who transitioned this from manga to anime, is mainly at fault here.
Would changing the director do much?
The issue is with the person who got it ready to be animated, not the director, per se... Though that could be better as well... I don't know if a new director could help it.

Indeed, but haters gonna hate so it doesn't matter what they skipped as long as there are a lot of people who enjoy reading the manga and watching the anime. I personally loved seeing an anime adaptation. Even if it skipped a lot of things to a point where the plot seemed inconsistent. I alos enjoyed the things they added very much. :)

This show is so ridiculously terrible but unlike most of the bad shows this season, it's terrible in a trainwreck sorta way. It's just so hilariously stupid that I can't stop watching. I swear I laughed more during this than most of the comedies I've been watching.

I have to say the best moment this ep is the throwaway line about having to have a doctor watch you through every thrust if you wanna shag a vampire. I almost had to pause the show, I was laughing so bad.


Agree ...

Dull female lead with a hot but awkward love interest. I wonder what gives with the bags under his eyes cause without them he is hot stuff.

The conversations these two have ... I mean, gee, who talks like that? I was rolling my eyes and saying, "just do her already."

I will keep watching just because it's so bad it's so good. >x<
