| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Oo, not bad for a start. I find Yukina kinda badass. It had a little fanservice I guess. Dat panties. Nice weapon though: http://i.imgur.com/KO4gVHv.png The episode had more humor than I had thought though. I'm kinda curious about those flashback like scenes though. Hope some more will be revealed soon with our main characters. Anyways, yeah. I also found the final scenes of this episode to be intense along with what's to come next with the PV. |

| That was a very interesting episode. Been waiting for this until I saw the PV. I have great expectations. Silver Link is a great studio so I'm looking forward to this series. Mod Edit: Removed quote of deleted post. |

| Looks good! Was pleasantly surprised, I just picked this up thinking it is one of the anime I could drop if it wasn't interesting, but I think I'm definitely going to complete this now. |

| Another anime based on the location of Tachikawa (after Railgun/Index and Gatchaman Crowds) and again we see crime happening there LOL Yukina pretty cute I must say. |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| Yukina sure opened up quickly. I like her though because of that. |
 |
| Warming up episode but overall pretty good! Elite60 said: Yukina sure opened up quickly. I like her though because of that. Totally agree with you there mate. Stark700 said: ... I'm kinda curious about those flashback like scenes though. ... Same here, it peaked my curiousity atleast, aswell as asking a couple of questions .. whats going on? why did it hurt when he tries to hard to remember it? I was almost as clueless as this kid: http://i.imgur.com/cHd8z3j.png But then there was the mention that Yukina is a friend of a "Nagisa" ... oh the clannad feels are coming back now... |
| so is everyone on that island like him and her with powers and stuff or just some people I couldn't really tell by the way he said it |
| Surprisingly good. I wasn't expecting much of this but now I'm looking forward to next weeks episode. Is it just me or does this show remind you of Kaze no Stigma? |

| Bring back down votes on reviews |
| Pretty decent action and comedy. Yukino is cute, and Koujo's past looks pretty dark. Those last couple minutes got me hooked. The opening is awesome, love it. |
| That was simply painful to watch with its uninspired storytelling, dull visuals and equally dull characters. Where's the thrill, the intensity befitting a series about nocturnal monsters fighting to the death (and no the super-emo flashback sequence doesn't count) ? Please come back Oonuma Shin to your resident place at Silver Link, while you do have your share of flaws, at least the shows under your direction had some fancy visual tricks to spice things up. |
 |
| Top5 of the season for me. Really loved it. The setting is pretty nice. The mysteries of the past are intriguing. The 2 MCs are both likable. Yukina is kawaii <3 And Kujou seems to be BA when it comes down to it. Can't wait to see him in action with those red eyes. Lol at how he drinks his nose bleed to quill his urge XD Loved the ED(OP?). Both Audio and visually...seems that there will be a lot of awesome characters to come ^^ |

| My most anticipated anime this season, and it got off to a good start. I'm glad Yukina isn't a typical tsundere and opened up. The 2 protagonists seem like a good duo. |
therandomestguy said: so is everyone on that island like him and her with powers and stuff or just some people I couldn't really tell by the way he said it From what I understood...that doesn't seem to be the case. While it seems that demons and people with powers are common on this island and a normal case. From what he said (he used to live on the island before he turned to a vampire) I guess we can deduce that there are some normal people there too. Well it does seem like his friends in the cafe had powers. I wonder if they know he's the 4th progenitor though? |
|
| Yukina reminds me of Shana, and the island reminds me of Blood Lad where everyone is a demon.. This will be good, looking forward. |
 "Only one with the courage to shoulder the burden of their own fate can be called a hero.." |
| Pretty good! I don't know about you guys, but it has a feel like To aru majutsu no index. Anyways, I'm interested to find out about Akatsuki's past and the previous Fourth Progeniator. By the way, what is that <-- (progeniator)? |
nitrohawk said: Surprisingly good. I wasn't expecting much of this but now I'm looking forward to next weeks episode. Same here, I was put off by the ecchi tag, but it seems like there's really not much of it at all (yet?) and also Yoshino Hiroyuki being in charge of series composition. But the first episode was really interesting, I liked the bgm, the action, the humor, and those flashbacks are so mysterious. I also like the character designs a lot. Yukina is probably my favorite female mc of the season so far. |
| The story seems interesting enough. The art style and character design kind of reminds me of Denpa Teki. I probably will continue with this. |
| -Nothing can stay unchanged. Even so, can you still keep on loving this place? -Be still my soul; when change and tears are past, all safe and blessed we shall meet at last. |
| I really enjoyed this first episode. Also, feels like Index with it's setting (Note that I'm relatively new to anime) plus Hidan no Aria wich the MC unleash his power(?) when sexually aroused. Looking forward to more. |
| I loved it. Worth the wait! Love the 2 main characters and I am so glad that she is not a typical tsundere. Animation, voice acting, character designs were top notch! I shall watch this till the end. _/\_ |
 |
| Looks like its gonna be really good. Looking forward to this one. |
| Pretty good start so far, the MC's played off really well, with their personalities are likable. The animation, character designs and story were also promising especially the ending scene of Akatsuki's past. Well can't wait for next week's episode. |
| Pretty good I suppose. Animation wasn't amazing or anything, neither were the character designs. |
 |
| Lol the Lion King organization. Nice beginning, I already like the MC dude, some chars from the ending looked pretty bad ass, we'll see how this rolls in the upcoming weeks. |
 |
| An okay start I guess. The main characters don't seem bad so far, I'm interested in what kind of powers Akatsuki has. |
| Well, always glad to see more vampire shows. I hope it won't disappoint. So far it looks interesting. |
 |
| Just the kind of anime I wanted to see, good start, nice fanservice, can't wait for the next ep. |
Currently watching everything that comes out to avoid missing something good... |
| Well there was a lot of clichéd vocabulary thrown around, but overall this was a decent first episode. If the ecchi stays at the current level I'm probably gonna enjoy this. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |

 |
| Fuck this episode was awesome! Above my expectations! |
| Interesting concept and not bad for the 1st episode.. Nice accent and voice also for the main character guy (reminds me of Arata in Chihayafuru).. but I hope this will not turn into a harem... |
| wasn't half bad don't mind the MCs so far,story seems cool hopefully this doesn't turn into an harem or a *monster of the week* and we should be good. ED was sweet too. |
 |
| Not bad. I knew what to expect as I've read a bit of the manga, but it was still quite enjoyable. The animation was alright and the OP was pretty good. Also, apparently this is going to be a 2-cour anime? Well, that would certainly be interesting if it was. |
| This was as generic as expected. Average in every aspect, not bothering with this one. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| First episode was awesome, Yukina is really badass + fanservice definitely gonna be following this series! |
| This is why i have to read the plot synopsis, so know what to expect from the premise. Overall, a very meh start, not expecting anything great; i see myself dropping within a couple episodes if i see i am unable to finish episode 2/3. |
| It seems the whole "special" island/place idea is becoming more common? I want to know what the main male character had asked of the fourth progenitor which led to him becoming the new one to fulfill her request, and why she wanted to no longer be the fourth progenitor. |
(Almost) 13 years on MAL! ()__() (='.'=) (")_(") |
| The typical fantasy series of the season. A keeper for sure. I just enjoy these series when it's done well. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Can't wait for the moment he will first bite the girl! :) OP is so so. |
| I honestly don't know what to think of the pilot, because at times I thought it was boring at others sweet and then on the fight scene pretty hyped up. I liked it though, probably one of my favorite pilot episodes for this season. Kurini said: Can't wait for the moment he will first bite the girl! :) I dunno if that's an actual spoiler, but D: |
  |
| This was a good first episode, I'm starting to like Yukina for not being so pissed off about Koujo seeing her panties, those two look like they will make a great team. But I'm curious as to why he starts shaking when he has those memories, and his desire for blood when he gets turned on. |
 |
| This is good so far. I'm interested in the main character and the girl. Hopefully it won't go down the mostly comedy and then action at the end route, the people in the preview makes me think it will have more action. I wonder what the MC's power is. I do have to say those familiars look pretty cool, especially their faces. |
     Short of the day: Monotonous Purgatory(MAL) ✰Public Domain Club | One Piece Club✰ |
| It was a ok 1st episode, generic but fun i like yukina already xD(dat pantsu). I hope this anime gets better it got potential to be greatness. |
 |
| How to not nail character designs and as far as I can tell it's gonna be rushed quite a bit. It's still gonna be entertaining though. |
| Mhmm, i quite enjoyed the first episode. Although confusing at times, the mild humour really made up for it :) will definitely continue watching this and see how things go from there; and I really like the main characters so far!! She's so cute :3 |
