That was epic though it was different from the manga. This made me change my opinion of it.

Pretty good episode, a lot different then the manga however. I was also wondering how Tsukune was alright after getting gashed in the back like that last episode.

True lol, he looked like he was gonna die at the end of the last episode but then he was ok, as if nothing happened at the beginning of this one! o.O

They gave us some hope that it'd actually follow the manga in episode 9... and then crush that hope so easily in episode 10... looks like we actually do have to wait till the very last episode.

I thought it was astonishingly...average. The fight scene wasn't really anything special in my opinion. This is probably going to end in the typical harem ending by the look of things.

This was a very, very poorly done episode. I mean, the 23 minutes of animation itself were actually decent and enjoyable.. but wtf with the creators not being able to make up their minds on whether to follow the manga or not. Either of the choices is good, but both together isn't working out imo.
In episode9 we saw Tsukune getting owned in the back.. showing a glimpse of manga story in a "better late than never" kind of way. In episode10 everything of ep9 was forgotten and .. well, just a new story tailored around it.
The end was poor as well, half from the manga, but half not from the manga because the necessary part was left out in earlier chapters/episodes.

Ah but at least we got lots of boobies and panties and loli zettai ryouiki.. desu! $$

So, not only did they dig a plot hole almost big enough to swallow the whole series, but they also threw in a few more just for good measure (I counted five), and almost made Ruby into a Norman Bates clone. Definately some issues with this one.

And all after giving us such high hopes with the end of episode 9. It makes me wonder just what exactly they're planning to do from here.

I watched the episode and realised how much it "sucked". Even though I don't read manga (read only like 2 manga so far) i decided to read this one. Oh boy how different it was. Manga has a story. A very good story. Anime is just taking random chapters and butchering everything else. I really never thought i would say this but manga is like 1000x better than the anime.

Dont get me wrong, I'm not another manga fanboy, i love anime more than manga becuse of the animation, sound and the overall feeling etc (and thats why i only read like 2-3 mangas) but this show is a perfect example of how things can go sooo wrong.

Why did they butcher the anime ? I mean they had the material for at least 20episodes even if they took and made 2 manga chapters into 1 episode.

I'm speechless...

Well, the general complaint through out the season has been the Formulaic episodes. This one broke the been the Formulaic episodes. This one broke the form wide open. For that alone it gets props. the Fight was the best so far from this anime.

I also thought it was rather strange. On the last episode they focused on that surprise attack, all the blood and his eyes, as if he was going to die, but I can't believe they fixed it up right away and he was running and dashing as nothing happened...

But then it had a lot of action, as usual they kinda overdid it with the fan service, but it was good (finally a long fight!).

yeah those are some pretty weird plot wholes. the writers must be on crack. and i never realized i'd get tired of panty shots after this episode.

and answering the shirayuki question about why most people like her than the other two(well just a speculation and from my own preference also), many people prefer the "silent moe" type rather than the big boobed/flat chested loli archetypes so there :P

i do prefer shirayuki also compared to the other 2, just like i'd rather much prefer yuki nagato as compared to mikuru(in haruhi) etc etc. :P plus her ice powers are cool!

Is that sarcasm because I thought the episode was so badly done that it was hilarious. The terrible animation and all the excess fanservice made me think I was watching a hentai anime (>_<).

This anime has lost all hope in redeeming itself. ^_^

Yeah well this show is lackluster on credibility and making sense but fighting scenes in this episode was no doubt extraordinary. I'm quite surprised with the animation. I'm cool with Vampire Moka struggling, lovely Mizore, some Magical Lyrical loli, booby succubus, and lots of pantsu.

Well... at least this ep broke free from the episodic nature of all the previous ones. Still it felt like it jumped all over the place and despite it's okay animated fights it couldn't really catch my attention. So a meh from me. :/ Also I was disappointed to see that Tsukune didn't die in the previous episode. xP

Shirayuki was <3 as usual though. :)

well this episode felt like it was done by a whole different script writer lol. So much more action and less fan service.

I was really disappointed with how they didn't explain how Tsukune was ok after nearly dieing. As someone that hasn't read the manga I cant peace things together like you guys can. So I felt a little jipped when we see him back to normal after nearly dieing.

those who read the manga will agree when I say that this was again a failure.. the fight itself was pretty weak and you don't get to see the real psycho master.
And it looks like they intend on keeping tsukune a wimp for the entire series..

kinda disappointed with this ep, i mean the massive plot holes, ruining Rubi's charachter (i mean her story in the manga was kinda depressing, but here, she just seems twisted more than earning pity)

don't even recall them referring to the her parents in the anime, which was one of the reasons she sided with Tsukune's group, and what was the point of the whole switching Rubi & the Master around, and somehow making the master die in the anime?

really don't get what the anime creators were thinking lol

I'm not going to offend you guys, but it's just that why do you always speak of it negatively. We all know that it was REALLY poorly done. We know it sucked. We know it is cracked! But, instead of being bad tripped in the show, can we just enjoy it? LOL!

This is the first time I've seen an anime that has fighting scenes and panty shots in one roll. Also, wet clothes! What's more you can enjoy?

Yeah, yeah. The manga is better, and this anime version really took it up and made a crap out of it. But, I really don't care what the producers are thinking. They're the one who's wasting their money producing it; and I'm just enjoying their show!

You can really took all the bad things and throw it to them like this show really is the worst if you pay them for making this. But, you're not, right?

Then, there's only one conclusion. Just enjoy this sucked freaking badass show!

And no offense! ^_^ Just want to enjoy it.


(by the way, I'm starting to read the manga since it has BETTER storyline than this all-over-around-the-world-rotating-like-it-has-no-center-point anime production)

I watched episode 10 last night. Awesome fight scenes so far. Lots of pantyshots and fanservice. I'm very disappointed that they skipped the cliffhanger of Tsukune being dead and Moka changing with the rosary thing still attatched. What I heard from some forum, Tsukune was supposed to be transforming to into ghoul/vampire but nothing. Even worse, this epiosde didn't follow to the manga. Great episode, though.

Oh, a vampire was supposed to be the strongest creature, yet she was getting owned by Ruby.

To the person who asked, I have no idea why I like Shirayuki. She's just...adorable, for some strange reason. Moreso than loli witch girl, who pushes the adorable factor so far it loops around and she becomes (just slightly) annoying, what with all the "desu"-ness. Shirayuki also gives the episodes that much-needed non-intentional humor with her spaced-out-ness and random comments. :D

As far as this episode goes though...not impressed. I liked it better when they were doing the fanservice/joke-y thing, since at least THAT they were good at. The way they pussed out and skipped to after they'd healed Tsukune and the fight at the end of 9 was over, the way they boosted Ruby to this stupidly ridiculous threat (she held Moka way too often for a villain that would only BE a villain for like, one episode)...

The animation was crappy (I noticed! A first!), and the plotholes way too noticeable. Once again, I'd really rather they used this new setting for comedy/fanservice purposes, which would've at least been a lot less half-assed. :D

Jumping in Headfirst - I hear reading it causes immortality. Warning. Reading may not actually cause immortality.

I think I'm one of the few people who actually enjoys the anime (no, I haven't read the manga), but these past two episodes had a completely different tone than the rest of the series. Probably my least favorite so far. le sigh...

People should remember that this is an anime only discussion and the manga spoilers should be kept elsewhere. For the episode I thought the pacing was quite horrible, it in a sense might have been better than the rest of the series but I really don't think it's a good idea to change the style suddenly this far in, especially because it had no real shock value and it didn't really have much of a greater plot in it either.

Well, we don't intend to spoil, we just want to make sure that people won't reduce R+V on Fanservice etc.

I thought this episode was great. However, I was a little confused that Tsukune wasn't hurt at the beginning of this episode. After it looked like he was going to die in episode 9, I was a little annoyed that they didn't elaborate on his recovery. Since I have not read the manga, maybe it explains it more thoroughly in there? I like this series, yet it seems like every episode leaves something to be desired. More substance, perhaps? XD

The way everyone reacted when Ruby woke up and told them she had been defending herself by killing people was so f*cking stupid. They were talking about it as if the humans have every right to destroy the witches home and the witches have no right to defend themselves.

From the witches point of view it's like this:
Imagine you are at home and you have a gun, suddenly a some strangers with chainsaws, axes and the like barge in and start to destroy your house.
Would you:
A. Shoot at them and try to make them stop
B. Just let them destroy your house and move somewhere else

Should anyone really blame the witches for choosing A? The main characters instantly started screaming "You evil witch, of course you shouldn't defend you home, just move away!" .
Then Ruby walks away thinking they are right and some really sickly-sweet music plays while transparent images of the gang shows in the sky.
WTF! How stupid can someone possibly be?! That was just so evil!
