| Kitan~! |
| Damn it. no one bit of LA FOLIA not even on OP or ED! THIS IS WAAAY TOO SHIT!! FUCK IT!!! And it's like they won't be adapting Volume 7 and 8. Which is the most critical parts of the LN! Seriously, I want to know more about Kojou and Avrora's past, like how they met and how she past her title to Kojou. |

Doommaker said: Yeah ikr? I've been waiting for 2 years now, then this what I got.That was the part I was most heavily anticipating too. I wonder what in the world they were thinking skipping the arc about Avrora. Well, maybe they just skipped that part since it's like a prequel to the main timeline. And considering it's just an OVA so maybe that's the reason why. But still damn it. Mod Edit: Removed reply to a deleted post. |

| not looking forward to this |
| not looking for this This is probably one of cringe animes i've ever seen. I'm not gonna finish this vampire polygamy. |
| 4th times getting signature banned wtf |
| Is this adapting more of the LNs, like being a sequel, or is it just original filler material? |

That sucks, I remenber around 2014 I was enjoying the anime, but some people were saying they would not adapt the supposed vol 7 that was some of the best from the series.. and now they are just skipping up ahead again! This series needs to get someone to pick it up and translate the LN. |

Playcool said: They aren't exactly skipping, they just continue the plot of the first season on Episode 22. (23 & 24 are side stories.)That sucks, I remenber around 2014 I was enjoying the anime, but some people were saying they would not adapt the supposed vol 7 that was some of the best from the series.. and now they are just skipping up ahead again! Volume 7 & 8 are about Kojou and Avrora's past, explaining how they met and how the title of a Progenitor past down to Kojou. Well, even though I desperately wanted them to adapt it (waited for 2 years!) but having a sequel to the first season is still fine. |

So this OVA is adapting directly from those volumes, and right after ep22? |
|
| Yume is so cute. Gkad to see Sayaka again. Still waiting for english subs. |
Rayzer said: @Playcool Yes it is, This episodes title even implies it. As you can see above. (post #5) "Sword-Shaman of Shadow" which is also the title for volume 9 of the LN. So it looks like 4 episodes for Volume 9 and another 4 episodes for Volume 10. But wait a bit, then it is not adapting vol 7 & 8, but just skipping to vol 9 and 10!! Like... I would like to see these, but there are no subs yet. |

Rayzer said: @Playcool I told you they aren't skipping. They just continued the plot. Which is a wise decision. I rather have this than a backstory. They could just adapt Volume 7 and 8 into a movie if they liked. Your post is contraditory itself, they aren't skipping, but they are not adapting vol 7 and 8... they are skipping by not adapting those 2 volumes, that is what you call skipping. And lets be real what is the change of seeing those animated? It is already a miracle we got the other OVAs and now this. So a movie with the backstory that is 7 and 8, not even a miracle would be enough. I would prefer to have the backstory to add further development rather than they skipping to newer volumes, then again, having new material is already good enough. Problem is that if you want to know that backstory you are fucked! |
|
| @Playcool Skipping means disregarding a scene or a time line. Like Having Christmas skipping New Year then straight to Valentines. As I said, Volumes 7 & 8 are like prequel to the whole series. If you can't understand it, I give up.

Problem is that if you want to know that backstory you are fucked! Everyone would be fine since some of the events on Volume 7 & 8 are in the first season in a form of flashback. Unless someone was interested on Avrora and Kojou's past. Even though I wanted it so bad, but I'm fine with the current one. And you even can call that a "development" if you are gonna bring over their past. A development is progressive, meaning going forward. |

I meant skipping by skipping volumes that is what they done, not talking about the plotline. Backstory is also used to develop the cast further by explaining the origins and giving further context to how they came this far, they motivations, what marked them. And let me use your words now: "If you can't understand it, I give up." |

| I watch this for the plot. |

Rayzer said: @Playcool, Why you care so much when you didn't even read the LN? As if you even know what happened there? You complain so much like as if you paid for this to happen, just skip this one already. And why do you think I havent readed the LN yet, because there is not enough about it for me to read. Of course I want to know what happened there, and I dont want to use summaries for that, I want to see it myself, it was kinda hyped at the time I was seeing it, and it was pity they stopped right before such an arc that I heard so much praise about. Also I m not really complaining, I m just responding to you, so yeah. I was complaining at first though. |

sevinK said: I've never really used this site before, but after trying crappy YT subs I got desperate and tried it out. Meshes really well as a sub honestly. I don't know what group has it but seems they will be pretty timely on releases. Happy watching! While I appreciate your intentions, unfortunately it seems as though you've linked the OVA's for the wrong anime. Your links lead to the season 1 OVAs. https://myanimelist.net/anime/30321/Strike_the_Blood__Valkyria_no_Oukoku-hen?q=strike%20the%20blood |
| Damn I missed this series! I'm envious of MC cuz all the girls always stick to him! 4/5. |
 |
| One of the few harem light novel shows I enjoy. So much Yukina fanservice in that OP. Another black haired beauty? She seems to be a bad guy but I wouldn't mind her joining the harem with that loli too. When Asagi ate all the meat, one of the girls should have offered themselves to let Koujou 'eat' them. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
| More girls for Akatsuki's harem. |
 |
| Asagi is so gorgeous! Every scene with her is just great, especially the indirect kiss scene made my heart jump. I ship them so much. Hopefully, Kojou'll her the truth about him really soon, so that she can help him out more often. |
| Finally, its been subbed. Yume is so cute. Kojou, Yukina, and possibly Asagi will be involve in another problem. Glad to see Sayaka too. |
just in case anyone wants.. the opening gif  |
Stay in yesterday 時を止めて |
| That ending tho we know the ship will sail for those two. A Rikujin, a shadow of a Sword Shaman sounds awesome |
| As I had expected, Asagi is jealous of ANY girl that Akatsuki encounters. And apparently, that Yume girl mistaken Sayaka as Akatsuki's girlfriend. Not that she's completely denying it.. Is it me or did her voice change slightly? Well, new OP song is alright I guess, they used some of the same footage from the previous theme songs though. Edit: I noticed that Yukina didn't say her infamous "this our fight, senpai!" yet. (probably because there isn't any fights so far) |

| Finally watched the first episode. Here's hoping they sub the second one soon as well... |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| I was looking forward to this. The girls are giving Kojou a hard time as usual. Not his fault, that Asagi didn't lock the door. Asagi and Sayaka were pretty hot this episode. That indirect kiss. So, Kojou has a Loli now and they have to save her sister. Reminds me a bit of Railgun S2. I'm sure, that Yaze knew what's going on. I'm curious, what the bad guys are planning to do with the monster. |
| You're a louse, Roger Smith. - R. Dorothy Wayneright This is my fight! No Senpai, this is our fight! - Kojou Akatsuki & Yukina Himeragi  |
 Some nice fanservice and such. A loli is added to the harem. |

| Thread cleaned. Don't ask for links to subs, don't give them and don't discuss them. This is the episode discussion. |
 |
| i missed this anime so much!!! glad to see Sayaka and Asagi again. About the only harem anime i can stand. |
| it'd be nice to have a 12 episode series, but w/e mmm... nice delicious loli ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
   |
| I missed Strike The Blood! I remember when the first season aired, so its good to have it back. |
 |
| Oh, it's been a while, glad to see this back. I thought it was a fine first episode. OP and ED were decent~ |
  |
| Liked it but anticipated a greater comeback. I hope they'll deliver some interesting plot i.e investigations/shenanigans like it was in first season especially in the first half of it. |
| Natsuki-chan is the only loli we need |
| So happy for more Strike the Blood, even if it'll only be 8 episodes long. :( The OP is okay, I prefer the first one more. |
 |
| its quite boring in 1 epi... damn... |
| Pretty boring start, but at least they haven't said "that" line yet. |
