Karin the Blood-Giving Vampire

Unless someone finds a way to restore the entire Karin thread, it looks like we'll need a new one.

Unfortunately we've not been very succesful in recovering threads from the Fansub Discussion section.

But... not to get off topic, by coincidence I just (minutes ago) finished the last ep,
and I must say Karin continues to be one of the most enjoyable series this season.

Since I was getting instant thread notifications before, I have an incomplete record of what happened in the thread in my Gmail account, but since it doesn't send another e-mail until you've read the thread again, it's not going to be complete. Plus there will be other issues, like many of the posts were made by people whose accounts probably don't exist any more.

How about this Winner character? Blond hair, blue eyes, runs around with gun/sword, fights duels, has a huge chunk of meat on a stick for lunch ("How sophisticated!" they say... :heh: ). Silly Japanese... ;)

I just loved Episode 7 xD
I laughed so hard at Winner's style and especially his accent :heh:
Can't wait for more Winner-kun (oh, and please bite Fumio again T_T)

They seem to have left out an whole arc (in spoilers just in case oO)
At least they didn't start preparing it yet

Spoiler:

Karinnn-sann!!! xD

Winner reminds me of Hamel from Hameln no violinhiki. Especially in his hunter garb :lol:

Well, so far Karin is still one of the most enjoyable series of this season for me too. I had doubts about the chara-designs, but I love the comedy and the older anime feeling this series has. I ended up enjoying it more than the manga, in fact.

If the manga comes out in the US (kudos for Tokyopop for their silly title, "Chibi vampire" ), then maybe the anime has some chances too.

But it has to be asked: WTF is up with the opening for this series? :eyebrow: :heh:

Hah! Japan smells like soy sauce! Eat that! :p

Dunno why they had to produce such a fanservice opening... I like the Song though xD

But fortunately there's no such fanservice in the Series up until now :)

Episode 7 was pretty funny, I thought I was going to hate the "competition" but it was actually pretty funny.

How many episodes do you think this anime is going be?

26, hopefully. :)

Edit : Anime news Network says 24. :D

AnimeNfo says there'll be 24... and that's what the Episode Number thread stickied above says.

Well, there was Winner's dream sequence...

Yeah, i was going to say that. Maybe our firsty taste lol :heh:

Lol, there is a lot of flawed people in this anime, main character is a vampire that can't suck blood and now there is a bishounen vampire hunter who is afraid of blood. And how he says Karinnn-sannn is annoying and hilarious in the same time.

Anju laughing was cutest thing I have seen in ages. :heh:

Should have done these lowest page first shouldn't I? oh well :heh: I figured the most recent posts would be most important / interesting.

Thanks for the hard work Nightwish.:)

Anyway, getting to Karin itself, shouldn't winner be translated as weiner? Or is that wiener? :confused:

As for ep 7, quite enjoyable, as expected of this series. I doubt they can keep Weiner in the dark about Karin and her family forever, but at least he seems to be a rather incompetent vampire hunter.:heh:

I agree with what you did. Personally, I have my options set so that recent posts appear at the top of each thread. I find that more convenient.

I do regret losing some posts by other people (kj1980, for example, in many threads), but a fresh start is always good. I started the original thread a few months ago and gave it the "blood-giving vampire" title, but the fresh start just called "Karin" didn't bother me at all. The title I used was my loose translation of the novel's title, and I just used it to give people a hint of what the anime would be about. Now that the show is in full swing, that's not so necessary.

And I have to say that I'm finding the anime really good, at least as good as I hoped it would be.

Aha! I was right in my diagnosis :D I mentioned that I thought he was a hunter back shortly after ep6 was released. Though he just had to have something wrong with him as well, like the rest of the cast.
