Dat nurse outfit <33

Idk why but I laughed more than I had thought in the latest episode at some parts. Poor Aiba though ;.; she's trying to protect her kid. Oh well, at least that old man got what's handed to him. Looks like this arc will continue with the PV. What's with that swimsuit picture though lol

Good to see the 2nd ep keeping up with the first ep of this arc. Loving it so far.

The animation this ep was awesome too ^^

Aya is just one BA HOT villain :D Loving her a lot. Best villain yet.

Loved the Asagi chase. She did really well keeping him away from her while backup arrived.

Sayaka's reaction to Yukina giving Kojou blood was kawaii <3

Ghirardi is HOT! And Vatler gave her one hot brutal S&M Bondage session there *A* :3

Glad that Asagi is gonna be staying. There might finally be a chance for her to find out :D She's already found out that Kojou is involved in some deep shit XD

Yuuma woke up? Wonder what her role in this arc will be. Nxt ep seems Vatler will get his ass handed to him XD

I can see where this is going. He's probably going to get Asagi blood and get another familiar. She should had been known if he really wanted to keep her safe since she's always in danger. I'm still trying to figure out in all the previous episodes he always leaped place to place to get somewhere. Now all of a sudden he wants to ride a bike after he got some blood.

Ho, hoooo,
Ghirardi is HOT! Too bad for the moment there, I thought that Vatler is giving her a horrible death.

I wonder if the rest of the remaining ep is gonna cover that witch of notaria?

Let's not forget that there are 7 more to go.

Judging by the way things are going, there may need to be a second season. A variety of things haven't been explained yet

Asagi was really cool and had more screen time than usual on this episode, I hope that trend continues.
Sayaka's reaction cause Yukina gave her blood to Kojou priceless.
Hopefully Kojou will take either Yuuma's or Asagi's blood next episode.

Pretty good episode. Must say Aya is pretty hot. Couldn't really tell from last episode. Yukina looks cute in that nurse's outfit. Love how Asagi protected Natsuki. Vatler is pretty bad ass. That snake feast attack was awesome. Can't wait for next episode.

Loved to see Yukina in that nurse outfit, I don't mind if she wears it every episode from now on. Astarte is so cool and calm, that's what I love about her!
Badass Vatler stops that woman who definitely could be a MILF, lol.

Now I have to wait another week, again..

Looking forward to next ep.

Overall good episode.

I'm curious why so many of the antagonist underestimate the progenitors. They are supposed to be the strongest vampires (in their world). Also, if you look at some supernatural media, vampires are generally at the top of the supernatural food chain/hierarchy, and this show has also given that same impression. With that said, its a wonder why most of the antagonist talk so much shit when they are fighting them only to get their asses handed to them later.

As for my thoughts on the episode itself, It was great. Asagi was great, and it looks like it's probably nearing the time for her to learn Kojou's secret (its's a wonder how he's been able to hide it from her for this long). Here's hoping the next episode can maintain this level of excellence.
Matsuoka Yoshitsugu has hardly any range as a voice actor, and is grossly over-cast.

Yeah. I said it.

Well portraying as the most powerful supernatural being in the series is completely different if they actually are and can even go all out. Progenitors may be the most powerful supernatural beings in the series, but they're multiple other factors included such as battle experience, how you utilize your power to it's full potential, strategic elements etc.

Look at Vatler for example compared to Kojou. Vatler may have a few screws lose, but his abilities within battles are all top notch while Kojou just learned just learned how to use his familiars. Also, all the foes Kojou faced COMPLETELY excelled above Kojou except raw power, healing and plot armor.

Since this anime doesn't go into depth with how the action works, Kojou always stays on top

This might be a very unlikely outcome but I think this was my favorite episode so far, I felt really engaged throughout this entire episode and that could be because of the chase scene. This has been a very strong second half in my opinion so far, hopefully the trend continues.

It is so refreshing to have this arc somewhat deviating from the previous ones formula. Hope they keep going this direction.

What formula? You mean bad guy shows up, Kujou fights bad guy, drinks girl blood, gets new power, beats bad guy, repeat? Insert random plot points and maybe a new girl each arc? Seems like it's still following it to me.

Oh the chase is on for Little Natsuki and Asagi from that Kaliga guy manipulating fire. Though he was cornered and defeated, several new characters from the prison inmates showed up, but was short lived. Going to the funny phase, Kojo collapse of hunger *facepalm,* also Sayaka's reaction for Yukina giving her blood to Kojo XD. When will Kojo tell Asagi about him being a Progenitor vampire.

Eh okay episode, but too many characters in here, I got a little confused and lost throughout the episode. Though the only thing I understand is where Natsuki is some kind of "Key" from the prison inmates and Aya holding her memories from the real Natsuki. Looks like it will focus a lot more for Natsuki's arc.

I wouldn't say it's nerve wracking personally, but I am surprised that he has been able to keep it a secret from her for this long. I also find it pretty funny that Mogwai (her AI) knows about it, and she doesn't.

Asagi did a great job protecting "Sana-chan", although I do wish she would have some kind of weapon to defend herself with like the others. Kojou really needs to tell Asagi that he is the 4th Primogenitor though..

Please tell me the story will be better and have an actual development later... Want to find Natsuki? Just watch the tv and you will magically found her. How about Yuuma? She was stab but that was the least of their concern, apparently magic power being forcefully taken is much more life threatening than being stab through the body, heck they only care for the treatment about the magic problem and forgot that she was stab through her body.

Not to mention almost every arc using almost the same story method

New girl come-> Trouble happen -> Kojou bite one of his girls/ get new power -> Kojou swore to save new girl -> Beat the boss -> New girl becomes his harem

And for the next few arc the new girl will become the girl for him to bite and the same thing happen again.

I can't believe this is from the same author as Asura Cryin's.

I think we still are in the introduction stage, each girl has an arc where the MC helps them **Induction to the harem**.
You probably noticed by now, except the first episode with the flashback there is nothing for us to consider as a concrete back ground for the MC yet.
