| Ugh and I was looking forward to this, not anymore I am. The story isn't half bad, it's not anything mind-blowing but it's good enough to keep me entertained, the problem is the adaptation. The pacing was quick and awful, the animation and art were terrible. I'm almost 100% certain that the fighting scenes were made and then they clicked on the 2x button, because that's exactly how any anime fight on 2x looks, bloody awful. The dude MC looks edgy asf but I guess I'll have to stick around to see if that's true. I think that Tsukasa is a good character, I like characters who don't freak out when they see something like a vampire or ghoul because they know how they really are without these circumstances. |

| I think this anime got confused, your supposed to show the tragic death tranquilizer scene after I grow attached to the characters, not right when we meet them. It was an ok episode, a decent cast and setting so far. That ending came outta nowhere. When are the werewolves gonna show up? |
| Not sure I can keep up with this one if things don't change quickly in the second episode. The animation was slightly off putting, the visuals were way too dark (like Unity horror asset flip, "doesn't know how ambient light works"-type dark), the audio quality was atrocious (you can hear the audio peak multiple times), and that last scene left an awful taste in my mouth. I'm all for a good psychological thriller, but I subjectively find rape or sexual harassment to be the lowest of the low on creating tension. It feels cheap, especially in the first episode. |
| I started this out knowing it'll probably be trash but I still felt disappointed. Still a better love story than Twilight (if that joke is still relevant in 2018) |
| If it doesn't pick up within a couple episodes I'm gonna drop it. It wasn't a horrible episode, but it wasn't amazing either. I found the animation annoying (sped up fight scene, MC eye's taking up half her face). Disappointing... I was looking forward to this one :/ That love sick puppy thing is already annoying me, also... |

| It was ok, that ending scene came out of the blue though. |
| The animations was absolutely terrible. The acting was stiff. The screaming was unnecessary. The episode did not even attempt to establish anything of value. What. |
Suddenly, someone slaps you with a brick wall. |
| The way they moved.... A bit too fast, lol. Not sure what to expect other than bloody mess, and well, horny ass vampires since they're high on libido once they come in contact with human blood. But for a first episode, it wasn't bad. Guess we'll see how it'll turn out. |

Nezperdian said: The last scene made everything better. A great way to redeem the anime. Romance itself is pretty good. At least in the manga. |
| only real way to describe it...meh |
| Huge fan of the manga, sadly tho... anime sucks ass, sorry to those anime fans who like this, I just don't care much for the first episode. I hope it gets better, rip bad adaptations. |

I could not watch more than 4 min, horrible animation. What the hell is going on with the background characters?  |

| The first scene looks promising but... that chase scene made me laugh, it's like watching a fast forward video. |
| That was...curiously good! Like, the vampires actually look creepy and are portrayed as tragic ~ not something you'd be thrilled to be. Them being mostly unknown to the world adds to the scary vibe of the show, still having a specialized sect to deal with 'em adds to them allows for some action. Then there's the romance which in the case for this should, would be a plus only if handled maturely, but welcomed if so. So, yea, def looks like a romanticized Tokyo Ghoul for now. I'll be looking forward to it! As it's been echoed throughout this thread, one of the main concerns is for the romance not to be the cheesy Twilight type and take over the whole show. |
| Reporting on episode 1, we have some awkward sh*t going on. |
 |
| To be honest, the animation was kinda weird. It looks really stiff. specifically the eyes of the characters, the running and ending scenes. Other than that, I'm looking forward to it. Let's see. |
| Wasn't bad... I suppose. the voice acting is a bit cringy tho. |
| This was god awful. Anyone with half a brain knew that Tsukasa was a Vampire. What the hell was up with the animation and still faces? People were talking and it looked liked they had blank stares. The voice acting...omfg it was like someone was screaming into a traffic cone!!! LOL The fast forward fighting was terrible as well. A cop rolled out of the car at the same speed the Vampire was running...DONT FORGET ABOUT THE COP! Then our female MC cant walk all of a sudden and The "Good Cop" Just now notices the blood on her face... *face palm* JFC this is awful |

| this shit was way less entertaining than i expected. i dont mind this is based on shoujo manga but the stage direction is awful. |
| The episode was excellent imo. Especially the fight b/w the blond and the vampire. The animation is also pretty damn good. |
| Is this anime illuminati? |
| No OST for some scenes, it was... weird and empty. And in the others scenes it's a biiiig sound too powerful. The direction seem really strange |

| Average first episode. I liked the art style and the animation for most parts, but the chasing scene looked so bad and awkward. I hope the story picks up as the episodes progress. It could improve into something good but I don't have too much hope right now. |
| Very average. Didn't like animation. The chase and fight scene felt like awfully fast-forwarded. Ending wasn't good. I hope story will get interesting at least. 2/5 |

| I would say this anime will be watchable. Anything rating below 7 probably meh. I watched it and Yes, the animation wasn't fabulous. The story ok. The op ed bgm quite nice. All in yes...a 7 but still can go for ep2. Not sure if childhood friend will be coming back Look forward to relationship between girl n AnzaI. |
| "There is blood on your lips" -> *shocku* -> *lick lick slurp slurp* 🤣 and The running scene is like watching anime in 2x speed lol. |
 |
| impressively retarded looking animation. i loved the deer-in-headlights look half of the girls had 100% of the time. absolutely hilarious. i also liked how it's ridiculously obvious that they animated chase/fight scenes and then sped it up a shitton. i was losing my shit throughout the whole episode because of how retarded and edgy and shitty everything was. i think my favorite part was about halfway through the episode when the main girl and blonde vampire guy just sat there staring at the camera for a good minute and a half for no reason. wait a minute....they probably animated the fight scenes, realized it looked bad or that it wasn't fast paced enough, sped up the fight scenes, and then realized that they had an extra minute of time to fill up that they weren't prepared for. that's what that random 3 minutes of nothing was! did anyone else enjoy the stupid looking white outlines around the characters that showed up sometimes because they don't know how lighting works? i know i sure did.  |
| Mixed feelings. I feel like this could be quite good but it's quality is just.. bad. Anyway I will be watching this, because I know myself and this kind of shoujo shit is a guilty pleasure of mine and now I want to watch the whole thing even though I know lots of it is just.. bad. The "bad" I am talking about: animation, art in general, obvious idiot-headed main girl character, trying to add feels to the first episode for the blonde guy.. but in the whole flashback scene I was like: I don't care. I don't care. When did this happen? Oh right: I don't care. But it's so over the top shoujo bad that I want to watch it. Get it? |
