| I love Koujo's looks. I'm obsessed with silver hair. |
| Decent first episode. The mc is likable and the girl is not too annoying so that's already something. I also quite dig the character designs, they look pretty cool if you ask me. Hopefully the story won't be too dull and the action scenes will be exciting. Looking forward to the next episode... |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| awesome start YES! XD VAMPIRE AND SHIT! I love this shit! XD (10.9/10) XD FIRST SCORE.. kojou is a vampire :3 yey yeah he is cool :3 I like him :3 and yukina :3 hmm hmm sexy girl lol :3 funny girl cute girl :3 nice nice.. I hope there will be some romance.. and I hope it is gonna be 26 episode :p about the end.. looks like kojou has some dark memory about that "vampire" if I'm not wrong.. damn it is awesome! XD |
| honestly, it was pretty bland and generic i hope it gets better like the opening though |
| Kojou and Yukina both seem like decent protagonists so that's certainly a plus, but this episode did slow down and lose steam somewhere in the middle and, so far I see that the story has taken itself seriously and in doing so, the fanservice detracts from the experience for me. Don't know whether I'll keep this one. For me I think the characters will improve as the plot moves forward, and the premise is decent, but I don't want to see some half-assed serious story yet with ecchi undertones that I can't take seriously. I'll keep it around for another 2~3 episodes. |
 |
| An okay first episode. I just wish the main character didn't stop Yukina from killing the vampire though. Those type of characters can get really annoying. |
| Overused tropes recycled over and over again! Well this is gonna be fun /sarcasm Hope it picks up and blows my expectations.... |
 |
| the show was good, and please, i don't want to hear anything about Blood Lad here, there's a huge deference between this and BL.. i liked the plot till now, the story looks good too.. the art was impressive, lest's see what'll happen next 4/5 |
 |
| I like it and it has potential, so sticking around for a bit longer to see f it capitalizes or not. |
| Nice art as expectec from Kami-sama no memo art. |
 |
| Pretty good first episode imo, will keep watching hopefully this won't into a generic ecchi fest. |
| Good first episode. I have high expectations of this since its from the creator of Asura Cryin'. Both MC was great with the main protagonist being serious when he needs to and the main heroine being cute and badass when needed. Loved the OP and we have Kishida Kyoudan singing it! which is awesome and befitting for this series. |

| Idk reminded me a lot of something else .. girl dies .. you get super powers ? well idk i thought of hakkenden ... sorry but it's just the truth. I also thought about hataraku maou sama .. u expect a evil guy .. and get a pretty nice guy with standards like ... yugi and others who even defend the bad boys ? ^^ anyway to the plott .. I like it. I presume the boy and the girl team up and beat some evil guys .. perhaps the people who ordered the girl are evil ? who knows ... I'm excited to see more from this. |
| Great start! Both MC not being pathetic is a plus. |
 |
| I've got this huge impression of Hataraku Maou-sama! on this anime. |
| "Ogon’ po gotovnosti!" |
| It was pretty average until the magical powers were introduced, then it grabbed my attention. Very interesting so far. |
| The only thing that this and Blood Lad had in common is both main characters are vampires. I don't see anything else sadly. First episode was alright, didn't impress but wasn't too bad. The OP is good enough to keep me watching this for a few more episodes. As long as the plot doesn't get horrid and it avoids harem situations I'll keep watching. MC better show off more, we need more alpha MCs in anime. Btw is this 1 or 2 cour? |
| Surprisingly good. At least I didn't expect that kind of episode. |
| It was the best thing I never saw. |
 |
| I liked the first episode. It was interesting. Both leads are good so far and I would like to see how their relationship develops. Yukina is cute. |
 |
| Was interesting, hopefully there is a bit of romance. |
| What's the chance that that thing on the TV screen in the burger place is foreshadowing? The continuing demon serial murders, huh? Anyway, a very interesting first episode. This could be good. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| Pink pantsu was surprisingly nice. Joke aside. The episode was fine. Not exceedingly outstanding, but nice. Yukina is lovely. |
 |
| Getting dat Index/Railgun vibe. People with Magic and science/espers. Since everyone has these powers and can use them whenever they need to. I wonder what happen to him then?? Loving this season's anime |
tingy said: i completely agree! that wasn't bad at all. actually it was way better than i expected.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. |
| Very Chu2byo (I mean the symptom, not the anime) setting, though I find it more intriguing than Code:Breaker (another very Chu2byo work) |
| 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. |
| I was expecting less from this show, this was fairly awesome. |
 |
| Pretty interesting, I liked the fanservice. Tad bit too much though. |
| This is very cool, 8/10 so far |
 |
| Another OP MC at hand. I'll definitely stick to this show. At least until it gets too boring. |
| Anyone know name of archer girl in op? I don't find any infomation about her. |
 |
| very kol |
| Not bad not bad at all pretty good animation, main character looks cool, acts cool and isn't boring, hopefully we'll see some good scenes, I'll keep it up for now. |
| Pretty average. Those panty scenes were so hilarious in a bad way. Hope it gets better. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| Woah,YUKINA!,hella cute girl,that's not normal, I'm sure otaku viewers/fans knows what I'm feeling right now. |

| oh well, that was nice and interesting but this kind of series.. i don't know.. I feel like I've watched this kind of show before.. this ain't new for me. and There are other good show to watch this season than this :D and, i don't like the color of the eyes of Yukina. |
| I have to say this.. I'm more interested to that blonde girl in the ending :D |
| Not the best first episode this season or even anime ... but could still get interesting 3/5 for the first episode |
| I was not the best and not the worst first episode of this season. Pantie shot= death :S |
 |
| I'll keep watching only for Yukina Her character it's so different from the ones I've seen so far |
| 6/10 Beginning sucked, but the episode got better. |
This topic has not been locked and is still available for discussion. |
| Awesome first episode! :D Off to the next one now, it would seem. :P |
| It's ok, not as good as Index but not a disaster :) |
 |
| Seems pretty cool |
| Seems pretty interesting. |
 |
| Not a great start, but it was a fairly nice intro to this series! :) |
| Seems like this is going to be one of those cliche anime. |
