Dat punch and shit that's a lot of blood. There's also some awfully a lot of experiment specimens..

Blushing spotted. The fight was kinda cheesy though. Not sure what's going to happen next time but I'll look forward to it I guess.

Well, I pretty much know what will happen next.
Have you forgot that he is immortal vampire?
They don't show him getting revive or something in the preview.

Indeed I love all the blushing, but Yukina shocking face :(. Senpai!!!!!!!!!!

Did he just get decapitated? Wow. Sucks that Yukina had to see it happen.

More of Yukina fighting next episode. Hopefully the fight won't end so fast like it did this episode.

I really hope Yukina does something useful in the next episode. She started off badass, but now she's had to get her ass saved twice in a row, going down the path of a damsel in distress, which I hate. The preview looked promising though.

O_O!! Dat ending was EPIC!!!

The way he cut through him with the sound effects of digging through flesh and all the blood was absolutely brutal!! And Damn AWESOME!!!

Then Yukina holding his head like that. Wow!

Ofc he's a vampire so no death but still...
And they didn't show Kojou in the pv so that was a nice touch to keep the cliffhanger ^^

As for the ep...Really loving YukinaxKojou's relationship sooo much!!! It's like they're made for each other. OTP already. They're just in sync :)
And Yukina is adorable <3

I'm feeling a bit bad for Asagi though. She's really cute and lovable too, and it seems she's had her eyes on Kojou for a while from her blushes and other signs so unfortunately she won't have a chance to get him :(
Really cute <3

Hell I'm liking all the characters in this series so far. Even the villain seems likable.

OK, that ending just raised this on my priority list a couple of notches. He's an immortal vampire, right? So it only makes sense that he'll have a harem...

hmm, pretty fast pacing. didn't think it was till around chapter 8 of the manga that he got his head cut off, but whatever, im guessing it's following light novel?

good blood and gore, but himargi and sempai are gonna need to go up about 10 power levels to compete with the deacon and his loli.

Fast paced? Maybe in terms of the manga, but as an anime, it felt quite slow paced until towards the end of the episode.

Holy shit didn't expect him to be decapitated. Himeragi must be quite traumatized, especially holding his head like that. Not really too worried about Akatsuki though since he's supposed to be immortal...though I'm not sure how he will be pieced back together._.

A bit of a chunky episode. Didn't feel fluid or natural, especially the reactions on the protagonist's part.

Again a nice episode, just kinda failed the drama, 'cause we've been told already that he's kinda immortal.

Lol that end.
Here I thought he was hit in the shoulder, and as he's immortal would probarly get back up.
Then his body fell and I was like O___O... I realised she was only holding his head, now this anime surely got intresting lols!

psshhhhh, they're totally copying Hellsing Ultimate with that plot development.

I've grown used to Japan and their incessant habit of copying successful character types, plot elements and plot devices.

So it doesn't matter much. Still enjoying the story.

...I did not expect that. At all. I thought it was just a strike to the shoulder/chest.

Anyway, so-so episode. Still not getting into the story yet, or the characters. But Motoki is cool.

Yeah, I thought that the dude swung that axe into this shoulder. So, I was kinda confused why his body fell. Then, I noticed she was hugging his head. lol

Having the MC getting decapitated is actually quite funny. I understand that he is immortal, but I figured that decapitation is one of the ways to kill immortals.

I'm not really sure how I like the pacing of this anime, but I still enjoy it. I like the characters a lot.

Everything is on light novel, it's not really follow the manga.
Well you see most of the anime based it's getting from the light novel not the manga if it's not only a manga version.

It's really hard to come up with some original plot of anime. dunno I have never watch Hellsing so I don't know about the copy stuff.
There is a lot of vampire type of anime, supernatural stuff.
