Sayaka ftw. She's up there with Asagi for me now.

I'm glad Asagi made a move. I think she's the one that should end up with Koujou.

^ IKR. It's really hard to choose. All of them are good in their own. That's why I wish Kojou ends up with all three of them.

Lastly: Why create a virus that activates when a sound is played rather than making an activation button of some sort to make it explode!? Are you mad, woman?


WOW how the hell did you miss that they said Nalukvera recognizes voice commands? Oh that's right you were busy whining. I bet you would still complain if there was an activation button instead with something like "why is there an activation button or self-destruct button in a weapon of gods? So Stupid............."

symbv answered the other ones so no need to repeat them.

Also if you didn't realize after 8 episodes that this was a shounen-ecchi-romance show with a vampire MC then i am worried about you. Oh better drop it while you can because his number of familiar goes in double digits..........if you know what that means!!!

Nostalgia probably is blinding you, STB is way better than Index or Campione. Just that it's nothing new and won't impress you as much as you might have from watching those 2 series years ago.


Not really both are better even the Campione! anime which i was not that impressed with as an adaption was better than Strike the blood and Index towers over Strike the Blood by far. Also the Index or Campione! novels are even better than their anime adaptions especially Campione! in comparison to its anime. While Strike the Blood may be better as a novel as well it is still average dull and a lesser version of both of them.

It is glaringly obvious that Strike the Blood has been heavily influenced by Index and Campione! or others similar to them and the author has taken what he thought were the best bits and tried to mess them together and in the process made a rather lacking novel which stands much weaker compared to either of them.

The only problem I have with this show is how they keep calling Kojou a shinso/strongest vampire while he well... kinda does not live up to those titles (yet). And after reading me some Rosario+Vampire SII/watching some Hellsing Ultimate is kinda hard to accept lol.

Aside from that this is your typical shonen/ecchi/harem show with the typical shonen/ecchi/harem MC#347 which is not necessarily a bad thing.

Yeah, but no. "Weapon of the Gods" my ass, it got turned into stone (which I don't really get how a metal could suddenly turn into stone, oh no magic.) by 15 minutes of coding from a busty teenager who lusts after a harem-king slash vampire.
Yeah it got neutralized and destroyed, right. But (un)fortunately your ass had nothing to do with it LOL

kuuurt said:

Yes, I do. Do you have a problem with me having a problem with that shitty villain? Yes, you probably do. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I have more problem with certain shitty remarks LOL


kuuurt said:

Yeah... if she could make a sound-activated code that pretty much "kills" Nalakuvera's system, she could work with something easier to activate, right? Oh, wait... assuming she's working with one of the most powerful computers in their world to date, accompanied with obvious l33t skills demonstrated when she solved a part of the "code" those terrorists sent her (that no scientist has ever done) in less than 6 hours (not sure with the time, though.) plus the motivation to save her beloved one, she probably couldn't make activating the code easier. Yes, I do know that Nalakuvera's voice-activated, but you do have to get inside the pit of the Nalakuvera and play the sound file, all while dodging all of those other walking disasters. I doubt Asagi knew about the fact that the MC got a new familiar, which was pretty much the reason how he fought the Nalakuveras off.
Problem with this is you are using the current technology to think of what technology in a fantasy world is like. There will be things that are similar to what we have, but probably there are things that are not. It is just nitpicking to say that because what the computers we understand must work this way or work better this way, it must be the same in the fictional world.
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.

This anime is way too convenient, conveniently Asagi is the best, or one of the best hackers, conveniently they could defeat the enemy, conveniently Sayaka could have those 2 convenient powers, and it's not suspenseful at all, it feels like it's almost a given for them to defeat the enemy.

Then of course, the new character would be another woman, the one that handed the file to that other dude.. And of course harem is forming, seen it from miles away.

Everything is so mediocre/bad, but at least, that loli sensei's voice actress was doing a good job.

Yeh and of course, it's a drop for me. Darn shame, they have some damn cool powers, but wasted on.. bleh..

Lastly, Asagi go you girl! Even though I will not be watching this show anymore, I still want you to get the guy because I felt that you deserve him much more than a tsundere-ish bitch and a yandere-ish bitch.

What a surprise, MAL is full of people bitching ...

I'm offended that people are comparing this series to Index. I HATED Index, largely because of its utterly useless title character. This is a much more entertaining series.

Am I the only one that noticed the colors were messed up this episode? It might have just been a bad Raw they were working with, but the borders of all the characters have weird 'ghostly' doubles. It's like it's an old-school 3D effect where it's divided into blue and red lines. Maybe it's to look better in 3D TVs, I don't know. And it's not in all the shots either ... weird.

Have you seen Railgun yet? Much better without Index. Story wise, character wise, power wise, setting wise, Index triumph over STB, no comparison man. They don't even have those convenient "Oh we have a genius hacker here" character.

Can't you guys just stop this "X better than Y" crap and enjoy the show/drop it peacefully? I guess that's too much to ask for. It's personal taste dude........you think Index is better, he think STB is superior. You guys will continue in a loop forever.

Key point.
Falling then boob grab.
Shit it's regenerating!
OMG Sayaka is so damn hot , adorable how she pinched Kujou's cheek to check if she's afraid of him.
New Familiar with powers of force.
FALCON PUNCH.
Asagi why you so epic? Now you got the lead on the other girls.

Next ep looks interesting. 8.5/10 for this ep.
The Art of Shipping is no mere game. It can be small skirmishes to huge nation size wars.
Of course some will claim their ship is the BATTLESHIP but they all do. This is why battles occur because of factions fighting each other to justify their favourite ship.
And thus SHIP to SHIP combat occurs almost anytime even now.
Beware, Threading into the Shipping battlefield will be bloody.... What are you waiting for?

If you can't see how bad this show is compare to Index/Railgun, then I won't even bother continuing.

- In the middle of a DANGEROUS battle, they still blushes, still giving off that sexual tension, and etc? Oh god where's the SUSPENSE? *worrying about whether he will get into my pants or not* - Random female no.1

And that's only one of them. This show works better as a harem instead of action/plot.

I love Sayaka now, she has a great tsundere personality. Even before, I didn't hate her coz all I saw was some overprotectivneness and nothing yuri-like, she got some pointless bashing before.

Why the hell do people hate Himeragi? She isn't annoying at all. I see her more understanding than 80 percent of harem heroines people love to death. Tch, so weird...

Aiba is friggin' amazing

Ah ~! I forget to Astarte, strange that he does not bark dedicated his heart since he also bite her neck! : P
How beautifully the jealousy and the number of girls increases, so the threshold of interest from my haul! Oh well! ^ ^ "
At least this time the designs were not so bad, but narratively it takes me very little, the plot could also be a little more compelling. And instead of showing ecchi scenes could focus to grow and characterize the characters!

Love it so far! A new awesome spirit and a kiss from Asagi ... Kojou's life is too good. But he is not that kind of MC that you want to hate for this. He is pretty cool.

I like the way fights in this anime are ... they are not too long but are very interesting.

Yukina, Asagi and Kirasaka. They are all great. It will be hard for Kojou to choose in the end. And I'm sure his harem doesn't end here. Girls in this anime are so gorgeous! <3
