this is the episode where saya and haji and david go to yanbaru laboratory to rescue george, but find all that interesting evidence about the army and the Chiropterans.


lol i liked this episode merely for the fact they were making Chiropterans
the government is always in on things like this -.-;

Wasn't expecting all the pseudohistory in this, involving the Vietnam War, Gulf War, etc. Plus I think I detected some anti-American sentiments. This makes it all the more interesting. Sounds like this whole business of Chiropterans has been around for quite a bit.

On another note, I love the OP & ED songs, they fit quite nicely with the series.

For me this was the best episode. I'm kind of bumed out that Goerge dies. I really thought he was going to live.

Very good episode. The anti-American theme of this anime reminds me of some older manga closer to the world war II era when Japanese were still really angry with Americans.

If only Saya had fought in the beginning her father wouldn't have died. But I guess she's fully awakened now? Good ep!

They are fantastic! I especially love the OP. I was listening to the ED today and was like...that vocalist sounds SO familiar! Sure enough, it's Chitose Hajime, who does the OP for Kemono Souja Erin (ep 31 -). Great stuff.

Ah, sad about George. Knew something like that would happen, sadly. At least he wasn't able to transform completely.

Since he was carried to that Amerian basis, it was obvious that George is gonna transform and then Saya will kill him.
Still, it was a great episode, I enjoyed it a lot~

This episode is so sad when George dies. He was a good man. However, I kind of like that Saya was the one to kill him and that he dies as himself because it made the moment much more meaningful.

I also feel bad that Saya seems to lose her old self as the series goes on (I think it really starts with this episode).

Because Kai was using it.

Haji seems so useless so far. Help out a little, give Saya some blood like last time so she can actually fight.

Of course George was doomed from the moment they took him in to the facility and gave him the blood transfusion. There was no way out, he would either transform or be killed by Saya. At least he died as a human (and her father).

I loved this episode. I've read Blood+ manga first before i started watching anime, and I like that the stories differ significantly. George's death was very moving, one of the best portrayals of character's death I think.

4/5

In terms of designs falls a lot, but is in contrast to all this an interesting plot. As for the narrative, the final part is wonderful, while the central and initial I was not very convinced. Fights a bit too skinny for my taste. Engaging the episode, thanks to dialogho between George and Saya so touching. BGM always appreciated! : D

So I dont understand why Saya was having such a hard time fighting, all she had to do was drink some of haji's blood! i mean isnt it obvious, that's what activated it all the other times. great episode, but that just frustrated me to no end.

It's not often you see americans depicted in anime as bad guys, cool! And it's true, that every american president had started a war or two. I don't see anything specificaly anti-american here, just plain truth.

really Saya? you made your dad take the same hit twice? well i hope she learned her lesson. i don't want her to be shinji 2.0

but god Kai is absolutely annoying, i guess the annoying young guy who wants to help but is actually helpless trope exists in every action anime. his voice is cringy too

In the end George still had to die, but how it was done in this episode was definitely a step up.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

How are any of you finding this tragic? We barely get any time to get bonded to the father figure and I'm not sure what this does for the story forward. Saya better not mope/hesitate from here on out.

What's most aggravating is that Saya's father was only in this mess because she messed up TWICE. What a wuss. You have people fighting for their lives and she just stands there. She's just as much of a wuss as Youko from Twelve Kingdoms in the beginning but the difference is that's a sincere character development focused story while this sells itself as more of an action supernatural series so I expect the heroine to actually be a heroine.

Riku and Kai should be taken out of the story as they serve no purpose and bring absolutely nothing to the table. Any familial bonding they bring for Saya is miniscule considering their relationship is told and not shown.
