| Wow i'm really gonna miss this anime:( But really that line AGAIN? , but i am really hoping for a second season because of what i've seen in the closing credits... for me this anime is better than Maken-ki and HS dxd, I mean it's the only harem anime that's kind of not really boring to watch and you always look up to every weeek, but anyways..Gonna miss this show hehe Empire of the dawn.. nICE! |
| So, Koujo basically knocked-up all the girls in his harem? How lovely. It was an okayish series, the chromatic filter was terrible though and I hope studios will stop using it, the story was mediocre and the characters not too interesting. Could have used more Natsuki-chan. A gracious 6/10 for the good parts. |
| Harem ending ftw. Otherwise the best girl, namely La Folia, won't win at all. Loved Reina's reaction to Kojou sucking Yukina's blood. Was hoping they'd spare us with the whole "No senpai. This is our fight" thing... Overall fun series, who's main selling point are obviously the girls. Although nothing particularly great, I'd still love to watch another season. Just without their notorious catchphrase and more La Folia. |
| 7/10. Fun series with cute girls and nice animations, but (in my opinion) there wasn't that much development. I guess a solid ending for the series. |
| this anime was really nice ^^ |
| I think they have missed something. The reason they made the new weapon for Yukina was that her old one broke, so going back in time giving her the new weapon directly after her old one broke would mean that the reason for making a new weapon is gone and it was never created so she could not have gone back and gave Yukina the weapon as the reason it was made does not exist. also my thoughts are, how did she kill the monster from the beginning before the girl went back in time and gave Yukina her new weapon? in that timeline how did she kill the monster? |
 |
| Iie senpai this is our fight. Daaamn this phrase is killing me. X.X Overall pretty nice, that girl was Yukina and Kojou's daughter heheh (i have to say that i'd like to go 20-30 years in the past to see how my parents were then). 8/10 but 5/5 for this ep. It seems like there will be a second season. |
| Good show, better than tokyo ravens. Ending was meh, but could be worse. Also can somebody tell me, is strike the blood EX canon or not? |
| harem and ecchi are a cancer to whole planet bad english user |
| Wow I quite liked this series had absolutely beautiful animation and eyestyles La folia, Koujo's kid, Natsuki for instance and so many others, great girls in this one. Got a little bit boring at times bit I've had much worse. I also really enjoyed the first OP, is great. One thing that really impressed me is at least they had some balls to actually show what happens in the future, I mean they showed their beautiful daughter and everything, not cowardly left open like so many harem types and that really really impressed me these last two eps. So I'm giving it 7+1/10 for making it great to watch for the most part and the great first OP. Then I'm being REALLY generous with another +1 for actually showing what happens in the future, well done, you've got balls. 9/10 |
| You know the last time she said this is our fight, was literally the only time I was like, yeah this line is okay here. I mean so much of it revolved around Yukina getting her spear broken and then getting a new one, so in this sense it actually was her fight. |
| Was a fun show while it lasted. The anime didn't specify who was Moegi's father, so I guess its a Yukina end unless there is a second season. Wouldn't mind watching the second season either. Story was decent I guess, arc by arc in nature with some remained development. It never really bored me although there were low points where it wasn't very interesting. 5/10 for story. Characters were pretty decent. Although some of them were really generic, they showed some romantic development throughout the series and I liked alot of the cast. My favourite character is still Asagi ;) 7/10 for characters. I really enjoyed this show though, I would give enjoyment a 7/10. Overall it's probably a very high 6 but since I feel generous towards this anime for being a decent harem and considering it ended really well I give it a 7. |

The light novel specifically states Moegi is Koujo's daughter with Asagi, there is no way around it. |
| Solid ending, no last kiss scene though. Overall I'm getting a little tired of Light Novel adaptations full of character trait cliches. So it gets a 6.5/10. More importantly, this is my 5000th forum post!!!!!!! |

| Season 2, Season 2! Pls! My score: 9/10 |
| So Reina's huge and ridiculously bouncy rack didnt manage to bring up the score? Anime team is dissapoint with you guys :D |
| WHY YOU DO THISSSSSSSSSSS A NON-HAREM ENDINGGGGGGGGGG oh yeah a 9. Not that I'm overratin or what, but I have to balance the marks. And I truly enjoyed the show. But the last 2 arcs are a no go for me, they only deserved 6. Increasing the numbers of plotholes wasn't such a good idea after all. Well, a "certain" magical show will overshadow this, I'm SURE. |

| "If you reject me, I'll blast a hole in you!" Kanzaki H. Aria Just kidding.  |
| 8/10, enjoyed watching this series. Will miss La Folia :( wanna more of her Waiting for S2 |
| Let justice be done, though the heavens fall. |
| quoted this off someone on the net Kojou: "This is my child!" Himeragi: "No senpai..........this is our child!" totally made my day lol! I really did enjoyed this series throughout, needed more asagi and la folia, and maybe a little bit less of himeragi. Seems like we'll have to wait for a long time for another season, since the existing LN materials will not suffix for another 2 cour.. Dat moegi at the end <3 |

| ^ lol. Well i guess that concludes STB. Tons of plotholes but it was okay, i guess. |
"I have been wielding a blade since before your were swimming around your father's scrotum." - Kurou |
| As of now only two of Kojou's children are known in the novel right? |
| Kinda weak ending but at least we Akatsuki's future kingdom and Asagi's child. This has been an awesome series for me as it kinda reminded me of Toaru and i love shows with that kind of supernatural settings. Art and animation were great imo. Love the characters design and the females were drawn really well. Every main female characters were likable, at least to me they are. Absolutely LOVE both the 1st and 2nd OP and ED of the series. Akeboshi's song is just so fastpaced and upbeat. Altima's song imo fit the show more than Akeboshi's, just love the beat and pretty much the song overall. 1st ED by Yuka Iguchi's ED is a more upbeat kind of ED that strangely fit the 1st cour of the series. However Kanon's ED did a stellar job with the slow and relaxing pace of her song which fits every episodes ending for the 2nd cour of the show. Overall they did a really good job with the OP's and ED's as they all fit into the respective start and end of each episode for the 2 cour. Will miss this show along with Tokyo Ravens as they were my favourite 2 cour shows from last season. 10/10. |
| reaction of the last 3 arcs: 'eh' cant spell "strike the blood" without "anticlimactic ".... or something 7/10 since im feeling sorta generous |
 |
| Good final episode!!! I was a bit curious to see how they would wrap the arc in just this episode and it sure escalated pretty quickly. Good to learn more about the monster being and it was a decent fight with the new Sekkarou Himeragi received from Reina and that combination attack was pretty good. Kojou sucking blood from Himeragi with no hesitation was quite funny despite being in front of everyone. Nice way of ending the series of showing the entire cast and that epilogue scene showing Reina returning and welcomed back by Moegi. Overall this is was definitely a great series to watch with a very interesting set of characters with an exciting plot. The animation was great and the music complemented the action scenes. It was a shame we didn't get to see 'Fairy's Coffin Arc' as that is a very important arc but hoping a second season!! Final Scores: Art/Animation: 9/10 Story/Plot: 9/10 Characters: 10/10 Music: 9/10 Overall Score: 9/10 Episode Rating: 5/5 |
  |
| Not too shaby I give it a 7.5/10 And I hope 2 season will come |
| Yes, Akatsuki. Please do enjoy your future wife's panties :x |
 |
| What a solid Anime. Really well done in my opinion, great art, just enough fan service, comedy, amazing characters. 9/10 (because Yukina still and will always annoy me and Sayaka should have been the main heroine. :P) |
| Did nobody catch the paradox time change. At the end of the last episode Reina says "It was good to see father alive" Implying that in her future he was dead. I'm guessing in the future he was killed by the dragon thing and Yukina was probably on a path of vengeance to kill the dragon and so her new weapon was made in order to defeat it. But then they had an idea to go back in time with the weapon they now have to kill it. Her going there probably lured it as it is a time dimension dragon whatever. So the daughter goes back in time because since she doesn't yet exist and lowers the risk of messing up time (A double yukina may raise eyebrows). Because the dragon is then killed in the past it no longer can kill kojou in the future. When she returns and says as much the other chick is like "you talked to him this morning" because time has been altered only she knows and in the "other" time/dimension he is killed by the dragon so she not only gets them together but saves her father. phew that was long. |
 |
| Empire of the Dawn = Akatsuki's Empire That sums it up for the last 2 episode's title as well as the foreshadowing. So, in the near future, Kojou and Yukina will rule the island?I really am looking forward for them being the King and Queen. hahaha Anyway, I will miss the show after watching it for 6 months and although it had some meh moments sometimes I'm still glad it's a good attempt by Silver Link to produce an action anime and being an expy of ToAru. I'll give it my own standard scoring of 7.95/10.00. I can't really wait for season 2. I'm interested for Avrora's backstory and how it possessed Kojou's imouto as well as the connection between Mogwai and that eyeglasses guy. I'm really surprised they pulled some strings together in some arcs. |

Leio said: Vatler's reaction when Akatsuki sucked Himeragi's blood. lol If Moegi is older than Reina, does that mean Akatsuki and Asagi were together first? And what's with Mogwai? -You noticed Mogwai sometimes doesn't give full details of the events or missions to Asagi? Probably that's one of the ways he and that eyeglasses dude are testing Yukina and Kojou to hone them for a future battle against them or with them. |

You have an interesting theory... But isn't Akatsuki's kingdom a side story from the yukina before/after light novel?? |

Will miss this show along with Tokyo Ravens as they were my favourite 2 cour shows from last season. 10/10. Well IMO the 2nd opening's animations were pretty stupid. But I really LOVED the first opening and ending. Strike my soul is nothing short of amazing! I even ordered the singles from Cdjapan which should arrive this week. |
| ... |
| Hahahahaha that was terrible, so, so fucking terrible. How I even sat through the whole series is beyond me.... How on earth does this show have a 7.6 average? Far out. |
| For some people 7.6 is too much for this series. I was thinking about giving it 6 or 7 per 10 cuz it was something more than a time killer. But after ending in last episode when i saw that conversation between doc daughter and Kojou and Yukina daugter i started to think about this whole anime, this whole world. And.. it got quite big potential if you look at the fractions that haven't been explained yet like churches of europe etc. After watching laster conversation FIRST TIME i was so curious about anime and i was thinking about continuation for about 2 hours just after watching anime. So i gave it 9. AND for first time i really liked the main couple that anime is showing us (Yukina and Kojou) First time after watching around 1200 hours of anime (most i think romances) and for first time again i liked the main couple i don't know why but this Yukina kinda fits me. Most of you won't agree for 6-9 rating but i really enjoyed it and saw potential in it. Waiting for 2nd season. If it were based on manga then i'll probably be reading it but i hate reading novels soo yea... |

| Well that killed any hopes for a harem ending. Still not that I am against that future. Too bad for Asagi though, I wonder who she ended up with? I lot of interesting things happened this last arc, I wonder if they cut it short to fit in 2 episodes? They usually take 3-4. The most surprising revelation was that Mogwai is either helping/associated with the guy with the spear (It surprises me that . I wonder if he will turn out to be on the other side? Well, I hope we can get another season soon. With all the hot kisses, I mean blood sucking, there is bound to be some sales, especially if they remove all the steam. Overall I really enjoyed this show. Nothing special but it was entertaining nonetheless. Hope there is more on the horizon. 8.5/10! |

| To be fair the anime doesn't tell you that its their daughter, its info people got from the LN. I had to look it up as well after it ended because I haven't read them. |

I rarely read comments because they have often spoiled some big part of the story. However after, after I read a post in RC, someone forgot to add spoiler tags and said that the other girl could be his daughter too. So rather than begin mad, I'm actually happy.

Thanks for your support! |
| Anyway, the ending was totally random, why the actual fuck they are trying to pull out a future-cliché in the last two episodes. IF, you really want to do that, then do it before the series is ending lol. I don't know, the Novel might be different on regards. 6/10, it was sure funny to watch but nothing special, really. Second season? Might watch it to kill time. AnimeFan500 said: Probably yes, that's lame but yes.I wonder if Kojou had babies with all the female cast? Himeragi and Asagi YAY!!!! |
 |
| I got to say, I was never bored with this series. hopefully sentai or some one rekeases it. |
| Why do I feel relieved that this is over? Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| I'm gonna miss this series. Now begins the long wait till season 2... |
