5 volumes and 2 episodes per volume.

wth really?!
doesn't look so unlikely, that would be around 2-3 chapters each episode, which i'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing
since the manga is a monthly one and the chapters usually are longer than weekly mangas so having a monthly manga adapted in such narrow episode time may end up cutting off most of the comedy, or if not the comedy something else, to being able to fit that much in a single episode
:/

on the opposite, if they did manage to fit most/all of it in an episode space that should make the episodes pretty fast paced, which is always a great thing
really hope it's the latter and not the former (fast paced vs content being cut)

Hope this isn't becoming a trend

Looks better than expected. Not how I envisioned Staz' voice, but it'll probably grow on me.

TV version of the opening song is out:

Not what I expected, but I actually like it. It's really catchy.

I have to admit I like the latter part (from the part we started to hear in the PV) more than the beginning, but overall a very nice song. At least for me.

Viz Media announced that it has streaming and home video rights for the series. They will stream the show on their web site and on Hulu starting Sunday, July 7. The home video will be a DVD & Blu-Ray release in 2014 with both Japanese and English language tracks. The English dub will also be available through Neon Alley. [Source]

Only 10 episodes. I hope they don't make things too rushed. This could ruin the anime....

[MisaoFan]

Spoiler for Episode 1:

The first episode sure does look promising. The protagonist Staz looks cool and the characters' artwork is weird but handled superbly. The main heroine Fuyumi is now a ghost though, but retains the same essence as her past self. Shenanigans ensue involving a Japanese animation culture and it sure doesn't look too bad by any means. The action scenes are awesome so are the theme songs, though the 10-episode format sure doesn't help much but I'm hoping it gets better.

[kuromitsu]

Well, this episode was basically The Oosaka Ryouta Show. XD Not that I mind, as he continues to be awesome.

Spoiler for ep 1:

I like pretty much everything about the show so far - the voice work is great, the character art is nice, the characters themselves are nice, too (Staz is great so far), the visuals and the animation are also nice, and I like the music, too. As for the story I have no idea yet, but I already hate whoever decided that this series should be 10 episodes only.

By the way, I foresee comparisons with Hataraku Maou-sama, based on some surface similarities. (And probably Hellsing, too - the blonde girl reminds me of Seras.)

I wonder what was that random Nakai Kazuya cameo, though. (He's not credited but there's no way that wasn't him.)

[Sakanaka Shouko]

the episode was actually very good. like Kuromitsu said, Ohsaka Ryota stole the show with outstanding voice acting as he always does. The art is good looking and the music is also nice. Definitely worth following.

[Breimoon]

as a fan of the manga i was scared it would be no good, but it seems like their are doing an excellent work with the anime!! i think i may like it even more then the manga.And all the voices up to now seem to fit perfectly , the op and ed are nice too.

[serenade_beta]

Spoiler for ep1:

The protagonist is fine and the setting so far isn't bad, but...
Well, the way the comedy is handled honestly isn't working. The words on the screen are beyond lame and everything is just so low-tension. Yeah, the protagonist is energetic, yet still, everything kind of passes by like a tumbleweed.
So, not bad, but a bit off from being enjoyable.

But other than that, I did like the setting.


PS Edit: Ah! I finally recalled the word for what was bothering me.
Low-quality.
I think that was what stood out.

[frubam]

So far, so...okay =03. It isn't bad. Kinda has a low-brow Soul Eater feeling due to the amount of comedy shown in the first episode. Enough to keep my interests at least.

[GundamZZ]

Very funny show. An otaku-NEET-vampire-mafia-boss who's into manga and video game meets a human girl. Then, the stage is changed to a bar. The bartender has three eyes. The reference reminds me about the manga 3X3 Eyes. It's why the bartender knows the mafia boss.

[Traece]

Nice to see that there's a lot of positive response to this, because I'm of the same mind.

This is a very interesting idea, and the show has some very nice quality. The art style is particularly interesting, especially with Staz and Fuyumi. Also, that may be one of the most adorable skeletons I've ever seen.

Blood Lad was a pick I had high hopes for and as is often the case my choice was a good one! I look forward to more.

[mistress_kisara]

Definitely keeping this one! Staz was very funny and Fuyumi was cute! Yes, I can sense the Soul Eater vibes and I really like the OP song. So far so good!

[takai]

Ha, this was great. I really can't wait to see more. This reminds me a bit of Maou-sama, same type of comedy. Which makes me happy in a way. Great start nonetheless.

[GDiddy]

I wasn't going to watch this until I decided to...this was funny and cute.

If it's only ten episodes(though that's rather unusual), then I guess I'll stick around until the end.
