| Dat ending was soooooo disturbing |
| lol cliff hangers -_- |
| pretty good episode... ending reminds me of school days |
 |
| np he's immortal anyways, just gonna take a few hours to grow a new body right? excited about next episode :3 |
| Slash I though he will be cut in half but only his head was removed ...... a lot blood omg can't wait next episode , they didn't show him in the preview :0 , he is immortal so maybe put head in his body and he came back to life lol "I have feeling that will happen" or grow new head that's it. |
| Like a lot of people here, I had that "School days" feeling too. Pretty good episode and messed up ending. Guess he'll grow another head? |
| Good episode!! Judging by the previews, looks like he'll be alright.. |
 |
| THAT DECAPITATION!! Anyway, decent episode but personally I expected more mostly because of the cliffhanger from last week. Also, the pacing was kinda weird; they kept jumping from scene to scene without any sort of transition and the action was just mediocre. It could have been better, but it was still enjoyable. Hopefully from next week it picks up. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| Didn't see that one coming. I like it more if a MC doesn't faceroll over all his enemies though. |

| I don't have a clever analysis of what happened until this episode, but I didn't really grab me. Dropped. |

| Whoa. Main character gets decapitated... Thats new for me... |
| is this really PG-13? looks like Rated- R |
 |
| This episode was really good.I am really enjoying this anime lately, great visual and audio effects. When he got beheaded I was like OH SHIT!!! |

Alone on a Friday night? Remember that DIO did nothing wrong! |
| alot of *blushes* in this ep and shit got realer 5/5 |
| DAAAAAAAAMMMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN. |
 |
| YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO |
| "Nice Boat" ending. Would have been more surprise if I hadn't seen about it before watching this episode. Was still a shocker to see though.At first I thought that the guy had slashed Kojou in his shoulders so was surprised to see his head in Yukina's hands. Lol'd at Yukina hugging Kojou's head. Dat shocked face too. And those sound effect when he was digging through Kojou flesh,amazing and so cringeworthy. He's an immortal vampire though,so obliviously he's not going to stay dead.Wonder if it'll be just like in Monogatari where he just needs to reattach his head to his body?Especially considering he's a virgin vampire. |

| damn......dat ending! 0_0 |
| WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT GAY SHIT??!! I was watching this show to see this vampire be somewhat bad-ass. Not be some "white knight moral-pussy." Well I'm hoping that he does SOMETHING non-pussy or non-otaku-pandering next episode. |
 |
| That escalated way too quickly lol |
| Ugh.. the horror of getting your head cut off and feeling the whole thing... I love it. >:D |
| I believe that unless you know for sure that you don't like a concept, you should keep exploring it. Whether it be characteristics of people or a genre of some sort, you never know if you don't like it until you've seen quality work corresponding to that genre. Keep exploring until you've found something you enjoy, or something of quality. Then you know what's bad, what's good, and what isn't for you. ( ･ㅂ･)و ̑̑ Everyday life. |
| nice nice episode.. yeah I love it! and... SHIT! THAT END! I NEVER THOUGHT IF THAT OLD MAN CUTTED THE HEAD..! I WAS THOUGHT IT WAS THE BODY! :OOOOOOOOOOOOO RAGE ON NEXT EPISODE.! |
| WTF Ending. I Haven't seen something like that in a good time... It was nice, although It's a bit obvious that he is alive. |
| Was a decent episode, The current villain is very dull through...He's reasoning is very linear plus he was very predictable. Tyrenol said: WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT GAY SHIT??!!

The last bit was pretty heroic through... |
 |
| Him jumping to save her was predictable, but holy shit his head Kinda hoping he stays dead but thats not gonna happen duh |

Well I'm hoping that he does SOMETHING non-pussy or non-otaku-pandering next episode. Yo what? You really expected Akatsuki who has no experience using his abilities or little too no battle experience one shot or easily defeat a veteran mage? Even if Akatsuki knew his abilities, there is a difference between knowing your abilities and actually using them. Just have patience and wait a few more episodes bro... |
| It was obvious that MC was going to interfere at the last possible moment, but I didn't expect that brutal decapitation. Imagine if they pulled the rug out from under us and he doesn't revive...! Ha, like that could ever happen. Heroine isn't even bloodstained in the preview, it's like MC won't die even if he's killed. Also, leaving one alive is never a good idea... why don't they ever get that zz |
| Usually decapitation is the one method to kill otherwise immortal beings, but this wasn't established in this setting, so he can still recover. 3rd episode and the MC is dead? Kinda hard to buy. I liked the interaction between Yukina and Kojou, some nice romance building 4/5. |
| original/10 |
| Let me guess, his body gets magically attached next episode. Cause he's "Immortal" though, you'd think getting decapitated would end your immortality |
 |
| Jesus fuck that head. Shit just got fucking real. It's not even that I know he'll revive or be alive cuz he has plot armour. It's the fact that the guy hits him. He's like maniacally staring then finishes off the decapitation. Then Yukina's reaction to his head and her cute "senpai :(" moment. I wonder how she'll react next epi. I hope Yukina beats some ass soon Also wtf. Decapitation on vampires would be death |

| The predictability of killing a MC like Kojou is that he will come back to life in the next episode :) we all know he is immortal after all and I think this series will not kill off characters like Toaru Majutsu no Index, even if it did, it will not be as many. |
 |
| Ouch...that's gotta hurt getting chop in half !! |

parfaited said: 98% of this episode was extremely boring. ^this This new show is so far all in all quite average as well, nothing really "great" about it :| |
| I didn't like this episode much, but I sure as hell love the ending part, where he got.. beheaded.. -.- This anime has too many "boy reaches in time to save girl" moments, hope it gets better.. |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| Strike the blood is really(In a very good way) Surprising me so far!! After a slightly bland first episode, the last two episodes have been amazing, and this episode had a pretty shocking ending as well 5 out of 5 for episode 3 :) |
| Well that came out of nowhere. Need next episode ASAP. airbornejaws said: Not something a man does for you everyday, he better get some for that. Too bad she 12 though... She's a 9th grader, how can she be 12? |
| this show need more clashes xD |
| Within the past 3 episodes I've gone from Awesome! -> Pretty good -> Wut. Meh... |
| Just started watching this anime, and I am liking it so far! Not much else I can say about this episode other than-- Nice boat. |
