this series was mostly predictable, but i still liked it

i haven't read the manga but i get the feeling that this was an anime original ending.

loved that the ceremony was actually one to increase bust size, tho i have no idea why Karin would need it >.>

Anju getting her brother into trouble so that she could steal his dinner was priceless XD

Read the manga. it's so much better.

I loved the anime too but mainly because of the comedy. the manga is a lot more dramaful :)

Seriously, I really liked the ending for some reason. It was quite predictable, but still.

The ending was far from being great.
In the entire series, they (Karin+Kenta) didn't kiss, not even once. The only kiss in the anime (even though it was a dream), was between Karin and Winner.
I was expecting a kiss from Karin+Kenta at the end.
For me the ending ruined the entire show.

Uh, I'm confused. I really liked how the tension build up and then... ended with a nosebleed. Altogether, I laughed when the "serious" stuff turned out to be much less dramatic. On the other hand, the story was totally raped - I reckon that nothing really changed in their lives, didn't it (I mean, comparing with the last episode before the arrival of that V-vampire hunter)? The episode as a single one was one of the best, but as an ending - a complete failure.

It was good. The ending was much more happier for the anime than the manga since yeah...

Still, Kenta and Karin are able to be together, and everyone's happy.

Wonderful ending, the most hilarious that all Karin, her mother, father, brother and sister suck and injected their own 'attribute' Victor blood at once. That will makes Victor thinks positive. And now im still giggling of that moment.

This has been a great ride, but the last episode was really bad.
They all die and Karin was all lovey-dovey with Usui (a really shallow character... seriously, what the hell did he do in the entire series?).
Then they resurrect like nothing happened. Oh come on.

I feel the same. I was just SO disappointed. Why don't they kiss !?
And Maki and Winner, we just don't know if they're actually dating or not !

I think it's better this way. It wasn't a serious anime from the beginning so...

Also. I seriously don't get why so many people complain about lack of kissing in such anime.

Also 2, I loved that crowd of jealous women standing in front of Ren, and how Anju found them delicious. Hee hee.

I totally agree. Obviously Karin had a bit of a situation on her hands, but if I were in her shoes I'd be flipping out because my entire family was just massacred before my eyes. She even said, "But I thought you were dead!" like it was nothing. Not what I'd expect her to say given the circumstances.

I'm upset there was no kiss, but it didn't ruin the ending for me or anything. I still wish there had been one though >_>

Just assume they are... Winner finally takes the effort to say Maki's name correctly. Still Karin and Kenta are together (altho they don't confirmed it-.-). I still would like see a kiss between Karin and Kenta and maybe with Maki and winner:) or they could do something like "10 years later" and you see their kids or something:P

To be honest, I was somewhat surprised by the way they ended it...although it was rather predictable through out. Probably would've dropped if it wasn't for the supporting charac. (Winner, Maki, and her family, kept me awake.) Too much unnecessary ecchi ... and what a 'BRILLIANT' resolution.
-this guy basically takes out a family of powered vampires but falls victim to some boobs. Wish Karin bit him to death instead.....NAHHH ONLY HIBARI COULD PULL THAT ONE OFF<3

-Not to be taken seriously...( 6/10 )

Well I'll say that I enjoyed this ending more. The whole family being fine after all that was pretty lol, but wasn't was random/stupid as how the manga wrapped up so still better.

Everyone doing alright (except maybe Ren). Though think Maki should aim for a guy who can actually remember her name :).

Finished some time ago, and i have to say, the manga is 100 times better.
In the anime, they added new characters, replaced characters, and even removed old characters. They also changed the story and the ending.
There are so many epic moments they just let go down the drain, there's also much more development between Kenta and Karin in the manga.
Go read the manga instead. ;)

I really liked the main pairing overall and was shipping it the whole time.

Also Maki x Winner. Perseverance my dear lol.

The ending was a bit cliche admittedly but it was satisfying enough. You would have to assume that the relationship would progress eventually.

It's bad though as I thought Fumio was the hottest throughout the entire show. Definitely a Grade A MILF XD.

My thought of the ending was, "okay, what the heck just happened?" The explanation of the family's sudden resurrection was not sufficient and satisfactory. "Vampires are more sturdy than humans?" Seriously?!

The lack of the awaited kissing scene didn't really bother me. I guess Winner is actually the winner for getting a kiss from Maki. lol.

And the effects of having your blood drank by vampires is just temporary. Hence, the vampire hunter will come back to get his vendetta once he is sane, so it's technically not over yet. Oh well. The ending sucked for me.

Foo. We already knew from Elda's arc that a stake in the heart wouldn't kill them, and many times we were shown just how rapidly wounds would heal. The only thing we were show that would kill them was exposure to sunlight, as demonstrated during Elda' arc when three vampires were executed, not by stabbing with stakes but by exposure to the sun. What I found curious was that Victor had believed he had actually killed them by stabbing and shooting them - I would have thought surely he would have known that would only disable them.

Whatever. I don't usually enjoy vampire themes but for the most part I thought it was a lot of fun and interesting. The only thing I didn't like was that Winner grated on my nerves every time he spoke, and even though I really liked Maki I doubt her sanity for falling for him.

I was fine with the ending. Though I would have liked to have seen Karin's parent drown Victor, maybe it says something that the vampires would be more forgiving than this human.

Hmm, and we are done. It was not bad to watch this after manga, at least I saw my favourite characters animated. But I have to say that second part of manga is a lot better and thought-out, plot-wise talking because every little details mentioned there has some hidden purpose. And manga also had some afterwords about events that happens to Kenta and Karin (and their daughter) in the future and I liked that better.

I don't like this "but-in-fact-we-are-not-dead-after-all" anime ending so much and as I predicted they even don't get rid of Karin blood explosion or touched the reason behind it. Vampire-hunter "boob-defeat"' was the worst, he should be killed for what he had done or turned vampire at least. The way it was I can't say I would marked this as satisfying.

So, in the end, it was sort of enjoyable but the ending was lame.

The show was great, but the ending was horribly executed. "Family member dies, shout their name loud". Instead of getting a mental breakdown, it seemed like she just didn't care that much about their deaths.

Still, it's great to see a light hearted ending

Hmmm. Well I just finished this, and it was decent enough for basically being an anime original for 3/4 of the show, it was incredibly lackluster compared to the manga.

For those who were curious about what they did differently, but don't want to go through the manga:



If you didn't read the manga, I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend it. You will not be disappointed.

All the critics got butthurt by that ending, but personally, I liked it.

I'm not fond of excessive drama. I watch anime to relax after all. So it's always nice when a roller-coaster plot like this ends peacefully with a happy ending.

It was a nice comic relief in the plot twist that the ceremony was actually one to increase bust size.
Especially since Karin's the last person that'd need it. And also seeing Carrera rip up the book when they find out - seeing as Elda would've probably wanted to use it for herself too.
I'm kind of glad she didn't get to though - her DFC modest size suited her well.

Like the thread's OP, I agree that Anju getting her brother into trouble so that she could steal his dinner was priceless XD.
She must've had a feast on all that jealousy she caused.

Anju is irresistibly cute. Oh how I'd wish to be in Karin's position - just so I'd get to hug Anju all the time.
It's clear that Anju loves Karin more than anything and anyone else in the world.
If I had an imouto like that, I'd never let her go - all the other characters can just get lost.

Oh My
*Adds manga to "To Watch List"*

Although, I am slightly hesitant: my least favorite endings are when memories are lost or where one character lives while another dies (Gokukoku no Byhildr, Plastic Memories, Tokyo Ghoul, almost Golden Time, almost Mirai Nikki, etc...)

I'm not sure I want to set myself up for an amazing ending that will make me depressed for the following three weeks ^^'

Everybody is dead and after few minutes everyone is alive. Possibly best ending as the story follows but this series could be a tragic anime too. Somehow I felt that there should be more Usui x Karin moments, they not even kissed. I'm now gonna read the manga, hope the story will be more dramatic and less comedic. It has many shortcomings including the fact that there was no explanation how the Maaka family members got alive after that kind of severe injuries, this leases to a question, are they immoral? Anyway, I love this anime a lot, happy ending, monster girl is in love with human boy is the best combo for me. A solid 9/10.

she makes everyone forget about how jealous they are and Ren can date them all over again _xD

-oh, he almost learned her name!

-all of the family members being shot and 'killed' was a pretty gruesome, unexpected sight..

even though it was an anime original ending, it wasn't bad, and ho-heck, i loved vampy Karin there when she had her wings, and her boobs grew three sizes that day _xD!

pretty okay anime, glad it's over, onto the next one .w.~!

I m hoping you are right because. Usui x Karin was really boring, I usually tend to ship the main cast from a series, but these two were easily overshadowed by more interesting characters like Anju (best imouto) and Elda (best granny ever).

Some scenes were really cute but for the most part I was not very invest in what was going on with them.
