AquaWateria said: Seiryuu2 said: Holy shit, that was awesome Episode. As someone mentioned above, 12 episode is not enough for succeeding this series to be a great series. The info dump we get is not enough to make the watcher of this series understands what's is really going on. I heard this anime will have an original ending which is different than the manga, I hope it will be good. Libra is such a fun and well maintained organization. It seems like they love throwing any party here and there and makes much sense on the ED itself. When they knew they are going to deal with Vampire along with someone they don't want to get involve with, their face becoming upset. I thought they are going to have some strict asshole who's simultaneously a badass, and Damn i was wrongg loool XD He had me dying of laughter this entire episode, that guy sneezed and a fucking plane crashed looool, And poor Zapp just wanted to stay the fuck away from this guy like a serious fuck lool. The action was pretty intense and the animation was a top notch as well as I love how Klaus rekted them into a nutshells. But seeing K.K. And Steven getting beaten like that makes me wonder how strong Blood 13 is. For now all we know is that there are anime original characters not that there will a anime original ending. Considering the series is really flexible with its world and story they could definitely do a Noragami route by not screwing up the ending or plot but just have anime original content. Just hope for the best since the BD sales are doing well so there's hope for a second season. But there's also Bones making an anime original ending. Yep, It's either they are going to do Noragami Route or making second season with throwing some explanation first or info dump. |

Flawfinder said: The action in this show is terrible. I'm not against an entire episode dedicated to establishing the characters' fighting prowess as a team with a throwaway episodic plot, even though it should have happened an episode or three ago, but only if the fight is visually exciting to watch. Unfortunately, other than the style and a "very" simplistic strategy, it had nothing going for it. There's no back-and-forth, the choreography is minimal, those stupid "Jojo-ish" letters just take me out of the experience, and it keeps cutting away from the action "juuuuuust" as it's about to get interesting. Since the non-action scenes consisted of mostly dialogue-heavy setup with only the beginning and ending scenes actually being relevant to the overall story whilst the rest was dedicated to world-building and setting up a lame climax, I don't think I need to spell out my opinion of this week's BBB. Seconding this, hell I even think after watching this episodes, this series is certainly will be mindless mediocre battle shounen. |
| I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die. |
| It's getting more and more interesting! The action, even though it was short, was really cool. Leo and Zapp are hilarious when together. The comedy in this show is really funny. Usually, when a show with this kind of comedy, I usually don't laugh as much but this show does it really well. |
| Last 3 episodes is very boring. This is the first time it interesting for me. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| Damn it! I love the OST! That song near the end when they come out of the train station is awesome! |
 |
| Damn, this is fun. I'm getting concerned about the sheer magnitude of characters this show is starting to amass, but it's usually pretty funny reading their details when they're first introduced. Also, was that vampire on the train at the start meant to be White's brother or something? That would definitely make things very interesting if that were to be the case. |
| ep 4 is out I still dont kno what the heck is happening (doesn't matter. I only watch dis series 4 its ED) |
| Twitter and it's consequences had been a disaster for the human race |
| Entertaining and stylish as usual |
| Klaus-sama |

| man i love this sooo much. wish it was 2 cour |
HitsuWTG said: Flawfinder said: Edit: By the way, what does Chain do exactly? She's supposed to be a werewolf and yet I haven't seen her do jack but jump around and be off-screen when the shit hits the fan. IIRC that was explained in one of the very first chapters of the manga (the ones that have been scanslated), though wasn't mentioned in the anime. Chain was established for gathering intelligence and the like from what I remember, so she wouldn't really be involved in actual combat. That sounds like something the anime should have made clear. |

There is so much to explorer in so little time.. |
| Still aots for me. Till now th situation in that world was treated more like an amusing comedy that anything, but for the first time in the series it got across the terrifying feeling just by how thin a threat peace in that world is hanging, and how it could be plunged into the depths of despair any minute. |

| Zapp show stealer LOL |
| I can't express how much I love this! It's totally random, it's really refreshing and every episode brings a different story with it. The OSTs are amazing, and in my opinion, probably the best this season. The opening and ending are great too, and I love the fact they're all dancing in the ending. It's really stupid but is also serious, some which is very hard to achieve in stories if you don't have the right characters or plot. Shame there are only 12 episodes but if it's successful there could be a 2nd season. I'm hoping that is doesn't get rushed and it carries on as the greatness it is now. |
heiqi1hu said: Zapp show stealer LOL Yes! I'd say he's my favorite character in the series so far. |

| Awesome episode. I love this show. It's got an incredible energy and creativity. I think I'm going crazy, but I could swear that the tune the kid whistles at the beginning is based on one of the themes from the film Once Upon A Time In America (Ennio Morricone of course). Nobody I'd rule it out in an anime, but this show is so wonderfully crazy that it just might be the case. |

| Are they skipping stuff? The ghost lady already left the building wtf this has to be the ost i've heard |
 |
| WAIT IM CONFUSED ABOUT ONE THING! They said they had not proof of vampires existing but isnt KLAUS a Vampire??? Any way other than that, this show really has me thinking that if this had more episodes than 12, and a slightly slower pace, could have easily been one of the best animes of all time just due to its plot setting. |

| This has to be the anime of the year. Holy shit the music the visuals, the story, the characters, everything. This is brilliant. The end of episode had chills going through my spine. |
 |
| I started watching this purely because of the ED, and I'm not disappointed in the slightest |

The show's production values are good, yet fights pretty much come down to a few hits being exchanged, then a 1-hit KO on the bad guys - and it's done. I'll still watch it though... |
| Typing on an ipad is like driving carpentry nails with a sledgehammer. |
| I wanna know more about that girl that stayed in his room. And the ED is just so awesome. |
 Forum set made by my secret santa, Nate! |
| It's hard to follow story, feels rushed. |
 |
| Maybe I will write this little late... and kinda from nowhere, but... Damn it! I love everything in ending theme! Just can't never skip ending theme and always watching it xD |

ExTamplierRuss said: It's hard to follow story, feels rushed. That's the type of storytelling. Non-linear storytelling is very common in more complex narrative works. Baccano! And Durarara! also use it. Baccano alone jumps between multiple locations, characters and eras multiple times per episode. |
|
| Great episode. The narrative they're creating is really causing me to desire more than 12 episodes. |
 |
| Best ost in this season |
 |
| Mimicking others, I'll say that I quite enjoy the ending music & animation. I wouldn't normally think too say this since I like most series' openings and endings. (I had no clue "mimicking" had a "k" in it. Thanks spellcheck!) |
| Vampires have finally come. Well, they got some awesome effects, but they were still no match for Klaus. This is the best episode yet. I love it when they put good story line like this. |
| Such a stylish episode. Still hard to follow and random. |
 |
| Luvit every second of it |
| Awesome episode! Enough said! |
| Feels like cut-off movie. Slow pacing - to hell with it! It's cool, considering where events happening. I think, what will be anime-only ending, like in Noragami.. |
 |
| They also have vampires, huh? Nice. Abram's character is really amusing, I mean he attracts misfortune with every step he walks xD Klaus was bad-ass again, I love his character. And that song at the end was nice. |
 |
| sometimes i feel this show is all over the place but the characters are all so entertaining and interesting that i can't help enjoying it entirely. every episode always goes by in a flash and the soundtrack is a bomb. i love zapp |
| Very nice episode. That Blitz and his ''luck'', lmao. Wherever he goes something happens. Seems like vampires are heavily present in this anime as well, unless the thread somehow gets swept under the rug. Will they be the main antagonists now? Well, even two of them almost killed key members of Libra, so I'm wondering how they'll deal with thousands. I've gotta say, I really liked the song that played towards the end. Can't wait to find out more about the King of Despair. 5/5 |

Vindstot said: At first, I though Leo spotted a Ghoul, rather than a Vampire. Those crimson aura reminded of Touka's Ukaku. Abrams' curse affecting his surroundings while he stayed unscathed was pretty funny, particularly Zapp's blood spillage from his forehead. XD Elder 13 must be one formidable group if laying eyes on caused damage to Leo, who possesses the "All-seeing Eyes of the Gods." Looks like there are actually far more than 13 of them! :O K.K. and Steven couldn't really do much against the Vampire duo. Loved how Klaus came to their rescue though. This dude is badass as hell! That megane guy from the beginning seems to be a hotshot, calling himself the "King of Despair." Wonder what's his connection to the ghost girl. Good episode. Next week's PV looks hilarious! Looking forward to more of Zapp and Leo screentime! that ghoul part caught my attention as well XD |
| I agree that was a pretty awesome episode. Feels like they are beginning to introduce elements of the main plot. Although I don't know how far they will get with it considering it only has 12 episodes. Also, I sort of forget about Femt, hope it gets to do stuff in the future. Lots of mysteries are beginning to pile up, but it still remains a pretty strong show so far! Hope it stays this good! |
| i think i'm enjoying this show too much. yet another great episode;; |
 |
| lol for the part in the bar at the beginning i was just watching dat monkey. I find it funny how they were acting so surprised about vampires yet they are naturally around monsters all the time lawl at Zapp's reactions to Abrams. |
