| I've decided to watch this because I saw Mikaela's art somewhere and found him kinda cute, but in the end I liked this episode pretty much, that I even cried at those kids' death. Normally I don't cry so easily, but this scene with this beautiful soundtrack in the background was just way too touching. |
| pacing was bullshit... way too fast.... at a glance. animation quality was decent, but background images looked like paintings placed on a wall rather than actual backgrounds. Music is good. Voice acting is a bit meh. BEcause of the pacing i felt nothing for the fact that the "family" died, and the whole "yu-chan go" had no emotion to it because of this.. Y you condense 15 chapters into 1 23 min episode ???/??????????/ |

| Eh, a decent first episode. The start really grabbed my attention, but after that it was a bit stale. I understand the importance of build up, but I can't say I was that invested into where it was going. The way it progressed felt so whimsical and on the fly. It just felt like it was just throwing down "we're a happy family" as a means to an end and I never really felt any warm tingling feelings from them being together. Although that scene showing how the two met goes to show that Mikaela was trying to let Yuu have a brand new start in the orphanage, so in that sense I could feel it. That end though, absolutely brutal. When the first girl just dropped to the floor, it made my skin crawl. Pretty much established a mutual hatred for the vampires, Yuu grabbing the gun and blasting Ferid's brains out was a total win. |

| Solid first episode, the scene where the noble killed all the kids was a good one. Good use of music. MC seemed kind of annoying while everyone else had acclimated which was annoying but I guess he has to be like that for him to want revenge. No OP or ED though? Huh |
| The pacing was faster than I'd like since it reduced the impact of pretty much everything it was attempting to setup, although the quantity of little kids that were slaughtered at the end compensated for the lack of individual emotional weight and was quite ruthless. The second half of the episode was very predictable and I'm still not quite invested yet, but damn Sawano's music made many of the scenes more captivating than they would have been. I expected the OP to play at the end at least, but it appears not. I like the premise and hopefully Yuu's quest for vengeance doesn't prove disappointing. He was a kid this episode so the hotheadedness and angst were understandable. Mika appears to have some political/manipulative and strategic potential there, even though the plan ultimately failed. Overall, I thought it was a sufficient first episode. |

| Dang, why did the kids all have to die. I'd have shipped Akane and Yuu so hard. |
 |
| The first episode was fine, but nothing special. Looking forward to watch the whole season tho. |

That's one of the most tasteless anime I've ever seen...and it was boring as f*ck too. |

| Really hate it when they make a sad scene all in one episode. Had no effect on me besides getting irritated at all of the characters. |
 |
| That was a lot bloodier than I expected lol. Pretty good. Let's see what else they have in store. |
| Couldn't get attached to the characters so I'm not very sad they died. I'm sure Mika is still alive. It has potential, though. |

| LMAO Can you imagine having your 13th birthday on that day? That would be fucked up. WTF? They killed off Akane. You don't kill potential waifu's. Who is Yuu going to end up with now? |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| What is this? Everything except the people and their clothes, everything looks like they're painted using watercolor...sketchily. Not a big fan of this kind of artsyle. lol black haired kid waited for blondie to arrive and as he goes up the stairs to meet him, a super cheesy romantic ost starts to play.. what the actual fuck it gave the shivers lol wonder if they played swordfight before they ate dinner. |
 |
| Whoa! What a BLOCKBUSTER start ! This is one of the strongest first eps I've seen in anime. |

| Exactly what I was looking for! |
 |
| interesting episode, although a little lax, with a comun characters, a plot interesting but enough and a nice wiew draw!!!! How to watch how developep, but was entertained!!!! 7/10. |
| This first episode may not be a total disaster, it definitely isn't one that sells this premise well. The writing is, to put it lightly, very questionable. In other words, I think the presentation (including the flat direction that I haven't mentioned yet) and the editing fail to capitalize on the drama and the shock factor. A show with such an over-the-top edgy premise should own up to it and not mess around, subtlety in the editing and direction has little relevance when the script and the premise are anything but that. Unapologetic melodrama would have worked much better. But fortunately, there are some things to distract the viewer from the clumsy writing and editing. The backgrounds are very pretty, with a gothic atmosphere thanks to the heavy use of black and green and the aesthetic that reminds me of something made with chalk pastel or a classic oil painting from an altarpiece. The rest of the art is just okay - Mika is cute, Yuu is kind of bland, the direction is nothing to write home about. There is something about the character designs that make them look strange on top of the backgrounds, my guess is too many hard edges (literal edges) look odd on backgrounds like these. The music is catchy and larger than life, courtesy of Hiroyuki Sawano, who's known for composing for hype series. To sum it up, this is like watching a trainwreck - a beautiful, fancy choo-choo train approaching a cliff at an extremely high speed, with no chance of averting the disaster - but at least it's entertaining.

| Well, that was somehow quite captivating. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I would love to know what or who made this supposed virus and why apparently some other people werent affected ... honestly anything regarding the way this virus works would be nice to know ^^ Surely it's not just anyone who turned 13 the day before the virus dropped wouldve been dead or maybe it did, must've been a very intelligent virus - Also we see people clearly over the age of 13 picking up our MC, how did they survive? Also where did the vampires come from, did they emerge from the virus, were they already roaming before the virus .... Gaaaahh I need to know so much :D I kinda got an AoT vibe from the first episode though, mostly because of the music and the scenes they were used in. The deaths didn't affect me at all, not just because it's the first episode but also because we barely got any information / screentime regarding this "supposed" familiy |
 |
| That shounen tag is deceiving, lol. That was a pretty brutal first episode, with a bunch of kids getting slaughtered. I wonder where it'll go from here. |
| Straight into the most amazing opening, introduction to characters, and a shocker twist ending ever. Could analyse and praise everything, but taking it all into account, one of the greatest episodes of anything ever. |
| It was alright, but when he stepped outside into the world and the other people were just waiting for him and said things about a prophecy it felt like bad writing or a rush job. And then they do another time skip and show him wearing a uniform walking around a broken empty city... was that part supposed to get my interest? At least the preview showed a better idea of what is to come. |
| I know this is the first episode but it was kinda boring. That whole episode was also cringy and rushed too. (I'm not hating though!) I just hope it becomes more exciting. |
| ahhh, and we were doing so well until that prophecy shit. the background art of this anime is pretty sick. |
| This was an amazing start. I want to see how this develops. |
| The part when they decided to go out was screaming death flags. |
| Eating currying while watching this and they're eating curry.... this must be sad. |
| Nooo why Akane. Mika too but I have a feeling he'll survive, but at a cost so Im looking forward to how those 2 will meet. Nice first episode but I'm not a big fan of the school setting. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| The art in this anime is amazing. It looks damn good. Must be embarassing for that vampire guy, to get killed by a kid. Then again, Mika supposedly died and yet he's a main character, so maybe white haired vampire guy survived too. |
