| I was expecting Kojou to say "From now on this is our fight" this time around since it was the end and all, good episode glad he has a kid with Asagi too. |
| This last episode was actually pretty strange and the beginning was a bit confusing. Oh and I get to say - I KNEW IT! For the other girl that looks exactly like Himeragi except with bigger oppais to be Himeragi and Kojou's daughter... so obvious. And i seriously want to find out who on EARTH is the father of Asagi's beautiful daughter, could it be Akatsuki as well???? LOL it would be pretty funny if it was, and he'd be damn lucky. Overall, I think this season has been one fun run filled with crazy things and fan service and less on a storyline since the MC and Himeragi practically got together on the first episode already. This episode was actually not bad, i like the last part after the ending song. 5/5 |

| I enjoyed this for the wrong reasons of seeing how bad it could get. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Anyone else get the vibe from the daughter that she somewhat was implying that one or both her parents were dead in the future? Edit: NM I forgot to watch the end scene after the credits. |
| Well another rushed fight, oh well. I wanted to see Vatler go all out. Moegi and Reina are cute. I wonder what Moegi's power is? What happened in the future? Did Yukina perhaps die and then Kojou had a daughter with Asagi? Maybe they had a threesome lol. Still wonder who Meiga Itogami is? What did he mean by Priestess of Cain when he was referring to Asagi? 7/10 |
 |
| Kind of felt bad for Yukina in the beginning.. Kojou deserved that slap! Way to go, Sayaka. :) Damn that phone company system! -.- Asagi was so close to confessing.. Meanwhile, Reina gets Yukina to reveal her true feelings. Damnit Yukina. Wanted to see Vatler handle that magical beast. XD Though, it's good to see her return. :) Lol'd at everybody's reactions to Kojou taking Yukina's blood! Reina's reaction was the best. XD Noticed that Reina doesn't have to say much to activate her weapon, compare to Yukina. Regulus Aurum strikes once again. Why is Mogwai keeping connections with the villain? Nice moments between Kojou and Yukina. A little Reina fanservice in the end. Moegi is pretty good looking too! Good series which could've been better. A second season won't be bad at all. :) |

curzon17 said: Considering the "this is our fight" catchphrase only appears like every 3 episodes or so, i shudder to think how you complainers handle other shows that have them every single episode. Overall, the series was great for me when Sayaka had a prominent role in the story, and average when she didn't. If Kojou has daughters with both Himeragi and Aisagi in the future, i can only assume (in my mind anyway) that he has a kid with her too. I don't expect a second season, or at least not any time soon. It would be nice if there was though. This show was a decent watch for the last half year. Yukina's cockblocking knows no bounds and her stick is the mightiest of might. Plus, she's a Sue. |
 |
| It's all "No senpai , this is our fight" over and over again.... 7/10 didn't get to see him to go really badass but instead kept on seeing him getting saved by his woman over and over again |

| 6/10. Way too many female supports, felt haremy. Annoying even, sometimes. Well, whatever, didnt drop it in the end so thats something :D |
| And that's how it ends. What can I say, aside from some stupid harem stuff, and a couple of annoying characters, rest was pretty good and enjoyable. |
 |
| It ended. What can I say, Himeragi worst and most annoying girl. All others girls were great and I cannot simply choose one of the them (Asagi and Kirisaka were my faves though). MC was likeable and quite powerful and I liked it. Overall it was rather average show, worse than Tokyo Ravens but still OK. 6+/10 |
| That was a fun ride, but the first half was somewhat better than the following, just throwing random terms and stuff at us for the sake of the plot, I enjoyed this harem anyway, i woudn't mind a second season,this show could use more La Folia's screentime.A rounded up 7/10. And of course, Himeragi HAD to spill out that fucking anticlimatic line for the last time ( Don't mind me, sometimes i like to nitpick about minor things) |

kuuderes_shadow said: Here we are then. The final episode of Strike the Blood. How's that for a paradox? Daughter is the one who helps get her parents together? Sort of, anyway. And she brings back a replacement for Yukina's weapon that took 20 years to develop after Yukina broke her old one, and thus presumably received the new one and... my head hurts, but I don't care. Finally a strong ending to a story arc - and it had a little bit of everything in it. The endings are the one thing that's been a bit lacking in this otherwise brilliant fun series. I can't wait to get my hands on the light novels... but they are STILL out of stock (or half of them are, anyway). WHY? And Moegi is Asagi's daughter? I wonder who the father is. And... What was Reina saying about Kojou dying? Except he can't die and isnt dead? Empire of the dawn... Or empire of Akatsuki... As in Akatsuki Kojou... Em... Moegi is Koujo's daughter too. From her attitude towards Koujo, she calls him "Koujo KUN" which only koujo's family would call, same as nagisa, reina, and his mom as well. And she calls him "ano hito" that means her relationship with Koujo must be extremely close :)))) Anyway Moegi is older than Reina, that means koujo conquered Asagi first then Yukina :)) |

| That's what I call winning. Good job Yukina. |
| that Empire thoooo and we got to see his other daughter also 7/10 I guess. hopefully a 2nd season based on the future |
 |
| So disappointed. I didn't have huge expectations for this anime but the plot was cool and the first episodes were promising but just like Tokyo Raven this anime also had a totally pussy dense MC. *sigh* 5/10 |
Kurogashi said: Wasn't much extra, the LN did make sure you know that Moegi had vampire fangs as well, the biggest clue was left in she uses the "kun" suffix while talking about him that's something only close family use.Mod Note: Fangs were shown in the glimpse of Moegi shown in this episode. |

| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION. DO NOT DISCUSS THE LIGHT NOVEL BEYOND THIS EPISODE. Mod Note: diu613 above has posted a pretty reasoned argument as to why both Moegi and Reina could be daughters of Koujo. Confirming or refuting it based upon the LN would still be a spoiler though. And any discussion of Koujo's marital or relationship status, and his domestic living arrangements from the future would definitely be a spoiler... Borderline spoilers removed from above posts, speculation retained. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| Well, that was a good season finale. All the arcs end on a low note but this one is an exception. That future is very interesting. I wonder if there's side story for that in the novels. Reina saying that Kojou is dead when he's not got me totally curious. I wonder what she meant by that. All in all, this series just barely made it above average so 6/10. I would love to see a second season though because I can't seem to find any copies for the next volume XD |

AlexGK said: Pretty sure it was a harem. Average show, was a little different with lore and the supernatural stuff but it felt sloppy. 5/10. Would have gotten a 6 if I could bring myself to like Himeragi but I couldn't.6/10. Way too many female supports, felt haremy. Annoying even, sometimes. Well, whatever, didnt drop it in the end so thats something :D |

| No senpa.... this is our fight... I hate that sentence |
| how many light novels was the anime made of? also, who is avrora and why did koujo kill her? |

I think there must be something behind it. |
| Well that was a lame ending. After all is said and done I'm disappointed. Yet again Koujou (a vampire who is immortal and is supposedly of the strongest vampires) bitched out again. I don't know why I thought, just for once they would change the formula. It really irritates me how Koujou and Yukina are so derpy all the way till the end about their own daughter. Seriously though, what does holding her panties have to do with being a pervert, its not like he was looking through her dresser or something. Yeesh, I'm kinda not looking forward to a season 2 after that ending. They really rushed that, as with every arc, and it pisses me off a lot. |

| This arc felt like a filler and from what I heard it's a side story so is it considered canon? Anyway... It was an okay show. I wouldn't say the MC is a wimp, I'd say he's just dumb. Really dumb. He ticks me off to be honest. But when you watch a harem anime, you don't watch it for the MC but for the girls (or in case of reverse harems the guys) and the ecchi. STB delivered well in this department imo *nod nod* but for the love of...why must Yukina be the lead girl?! And why must she keep repeating that line?! That CURSED LINE! Kojou: "From now on this is the score 10/10!" Iie senpai... 6/10. Not even my love for Sayaka or Asagi can raise it >___> |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| I feel kinda trolled by these last two episodes in that.... I'm much more interested in the "future timeline" than the "current timeline" Yet if there is a 2nd season I have a hunch they won't bring up the "future timeline" and/or characters again...at least for awhile? ....so in a way, I want 2nd season but for the wrong reasons I guess..... gawd I'm conflicted.... |
(My avatar is an original creation-please don't take it) |
| I hope there is a second season. There were a couple mysteries like who was that AI or how the island got so big in the future...etc. |
 K-ON v1.1 ... Please leave you comments on my profile! ^_^ |
| Kojou: This is my fight! Yukina: Iie senpai... Worthy of a slow clap, that line is going to stick with me for a long time. Despite being a shorter arc, I liked this one and thought it was interesting to get a glimpse at what the future holds for them as well as showcasing just how close Yukina and Kojou are. Although I wonder what the deal with Mogwai was. Overall an enjoyable series, albeit I thought it started off strong and devolved into too much of a harem by the end. But as a whole I feel this was a better side of harem and did more with the genre. I was getting tired of it but only because it gets bothersome to keep up with a series for 24 weeks. A 7/10, I'll stay tuned in for a Strike the Senpai season 2 should it come. If there is one, however, I would prefer a bigger story now that the semi-episodic arcs have set the ground work. |
 |
| as far as Ecchi/harems goes this was about what i expected *average* don't think i would had stuck around the whole way if it wasn't for some of the girls STB did good on that part but the story..it had promise in the beginning....i just don't know where to start all the arcs (which they were far to many of) felt rushed to the point in which they were forgettable half the time i didn't even understand what they were about. 6/10 |
 |
| I enjoyed this it was fun watching it. I'd like a season 2 but I'd want it focused more on the future with Reina. Maybe a time skip or something along those lines. |
 |
| Nice lol that escalated really quickly. Yukina's usual "This our fight" crap again (Don't get me wrong, I don't hate her. I just hate that she keeps repeating that crap over and over) Moegi, finally got to see her. :D Reina.. :D Kojou died but he can't die? lol wtf Season 2 please. |

True. Hmm, there could be. Nice way to get me anticipating a 2nd season ;z |
|
| Last episode of fan service and vampires~ It was wrapped up pretty nicely...lol took them long enough to realize that she was their future daughter. Its been fun watching this series. I wouldnt be surprised to see a season 2 :) |
( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ |
| Damn Koujou got his own empire with his harem!! I just wish he actually fought more of his battles instead of himeragi jumping in to cockblock. Overall I give it a 7/10 but a 9.5/10 for his harem. Himeragi is the worst in his harem though. |
| Over all i enjoyed the series, i didn't much care for the last arc tbh, felt a bit rushed but overall i loved the series. 8/10 |
My Candies:     |
| Well it was alright. Could have been better if Yukina wasn't so annoying with her: "It's our fight, senpai" and if Kojou was an actual vampire/shinso (wanna see what a real "strongest vampire" can do? Watch Hellsing Ultimate). Final score is 7/10. Cute girls, decent action, always appreciated ecchi. Nothing else to say really. |
| And Strike the Blood ends with a chance of a second season. I'll plan on watching it as I hope it focuses more on anyone other than Himeragi. Show was pretty much every arc rehashed and redone for the two cours as there were many similarities in each such as Kojou pulling out a new familiar to beat a new villain and teaming up with Himeragi to save the day. Fanservice was pretty damn good with the appealing art but it's just that Yukina brought the show down; but it was not enough for me to not somewhat enjoy it. Still cringed sometimes but a fun ride. 7/10 |
 |
| What, no more Yuuma? FFFUUU Want to see more of the mentioned future Empire. Bring on the time-skips and a season 2. |
| Well we saw this line coming from a mile away. It's not only Senpai's fight http://imgur.com/a/lfXmS but also their daughter's. http://i.imgur.com/83fX18E.jpg Love the full version of the ED as well. 7/10. Strike the Blood was a great show, I'm gonna miss it. It was so stupid that it was good. Where else am I gonna get my cliche battle phrases and astronomical density rolled into one? Fortunately it seems to be selling well enough for a season 2, and they left the ending kind of open. |

ryanstrike said: Not likely buddy, there are only 3 or so more volumes than they adapted so it is gonna take a while before we see any of that.I hope 2nd season coming soon! Yukina had a couple issues but she managed to get her game straight. I still like Yukina, shame she has brown instead of black hair, as honestly appearance wise I prefer Reina for that and the blue eyes. Anyway arc was fun and was a nice way to end the season. Now I'm just waiting for the OST 2 to be a thing to entertain myself with and why not read the novels when they are translated. All in all I liked the series despite more than 1 resemblance with Toaru, it still manages to be its own series alright, and many of the girls here are a lot better than some in Toaru for the matter, they are nice and sexy A LOT at that. And is it my idea or Moegi just lost sex appeal in comparison to her mother sort of, and Reina gained all of it with gorgeous results? I'd like for future volumes if possible to focus more on the 3 Progenitor ordeals and why not, include that whole Trance-Nagisa thing that somehow seems linked with Avrora? Anyway 10/10 and yes I like Yukina over the rest. |
 |
| OMG that himeragi cheezy azz line in the ep loL that was funny XD. This arc is ok ish i guess wierd to end your anime in such way i was expecting more of a bang ending to pump up fans if STB got 2nd season. Overall 7/10 fun anime with a lot of repetiveness, nuff said. |

| Once again, Yukina doing the " no this is our fight senpai" part ugh. Yukina makes me want to throw my phone across the room. Seriously. Asagi x Kojou would be way better! Was that their child after the credits though? 6/10 |
