----------------------------------------
Weird animation style...it had this CGI feeling.

Apparently, some of the setting takes place "Detective Agency Holmes'. Anyways, not impressed so far although I do like that ED song.

I honestly can't tell if this show is trying to be tongue in cheek or if it's just terrible.

For fuck sake it's 4 minutes long. Of course it's going to suck.

Oh, pitiful shadow cloaked in darkness.
Thy actions cause men pain and suffering.
Thy hollow soul drowns in thy sins.
How would you like to see what death is like?

I experienced something that changed my life...

In a nutshell, Vampire ~Holmes~ influenced the way I will live for the rest of my life and not just in some half-assed way like any other show would. It legitimately moved me to make certain decisions, for better or for worse. In that sense, no other anime can compare, as no other anime has provided an equivalent reaction on my part.

Was kinda hoping they'd skip an opening or ending since it's only 5 minutes long but i guess not. It's not really good but i wasn't expecting a masterpiece with around 3 minutes of content to deal with.

I really think the synopsis should be changed. The latter episodes will probably be of the same quality.

For a short it's fairly decent tbh. It's 1 episode out so far, with only 3 minutes of content. What were you expecting, a masterpiece that would get into the top 10 or something? lol.

...I thought it was kind of amusing. I mean despite the terrible subs of course. Was already expecting ugly animation and it's only 3 minutes, so this was still watchable. Sherlock looks like a cool dude, but he's rather silly. That had me interested. He and Hudson make a good duo, I just wish the subs had grammatically correct sentences.

Sherlock is a brat. D:<

Animation looks amateur-ish... but doesn't bother me that much. Just feels lazy.

And wow did he just solve that case in like... 1 minute?

The subs lol. Grammar aside it does still translate the important points of the dialogue. -shrug-

More meh than expected.

Honestly, the terrible subbing didn't help the fact I had know idea what happened.

The fact it's an anime short doesn't justify how bad this was. "I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying" is much better than this.

The OP and ED were decent though, but that's about it.

This is just my opinion, but I believe how the first episode turns matters a whole lot. It's like the bar that's been set for the series. After that it can either go up or down. If there's any sign of the show improving in the next 5 or so episodes, people tend to continue, but if not they tend to drop it.
This is not much of a problem for anime that had either a decent or great start, as they can just maintain or improve the quality of future episodes.
Shows with a poor start have presented a low bar to the viewers. And unless they want them to drop it, they're going to have to improve greatly on the bar they've already set.

*Take's a deep breath*
Anyway, we'll see what happens. (Note: No, I did not intend to right all that...)

If someone was expecting to gain recognition for this, they won't. Bad subbing, animation and plot. Only good thing is the title "Vampire Holmes", they got that catch right, nothing else.

I'll only give it praise if it was made by someone really really young but since this is based of a mobile game, probably not.

Not true. There are good short anime out there, but this is not one of them. Terrible and 1/10 worthy.

There are plenty of good shorts so ignorant response. This, however, is not one of them.

Wow this was bad...being short is not an excuse to make such a bad show (excluding Pupa, this is running for worst short I've ever watched). Subtitles should not be used to judge something but those horrible subs didn't really help the show in any way.

This was really.. bad. Apart from the OP/ED there was nothing to like at all.

Will give this 1-2 more episodes since it is a short, but will probably drop it..

Seriously what's with those heads, they turn so huge sometimes. Waste of such a catchy OP. I will watch it for the OP.

The subs were glorious. 10-0/10 = 10/10 = 1/1 = 0/0 = whatever.
