Episode 1:

It was good overall as introduced

Spoiler:

Yuu and lets the audience know where he came from. They also introduced Ferid and his vampiric attack towards the end; an event that I'm sure Yuu won't ever forget. I found the chemistry between Yuu and Mikaela to be quite interesting though in regards to their relationship. Action was alright although I think we'll see a lot more of it later on. But OST was probably one of the main highlights so far, as expected.

No opening? Aww.

That was rock solid premiere. The writing and direction were good and barely wastes any second doing anything meaningless and actually made me care about any of the characters in less than 20 minutes. The BGM was also superb. Now this is just my type of show. Standard shounen that's neither flashy or groundbreaking but simply being good and straightforward.

Excited for the second episode.

Man such an awesome season for anime, great manga's I read in the past getting adaptions, and Man! this first episode ripped my heart hard!

[AntonKutovoi]

That was alright, I guess. But nothing really intersting so far, except great backgrounds.

That was a really good first episode. Had some real weight and pressure to it and ended on a strong note. At least says something that I was darn well hoping that a couple kids might get through that gauntlet of death. Sadly not so lucky. Talk about giving the MC enough motivation to want to wipe out all the vampires.

Going to be one heck of a transition looking at how the preview. Going from apocalyptic prison camps to....school . The real test for the show will be making that work.

Nice little showdown at the end. Just a tragic gauntlet of death. MC was lucky that he was the MC since any other kid during the "die" line would have already had their head chopped off or something.

Really good first episode.

That was pretty good. I didn't read the manga so I could go into this story dry and I have to say I'm glad I did. I like both main characters and they really make you hate the vampires. I loved the little orphan group even though I knew they were all about to die. At first I thought I would find Yu annoying but I ended up liking him alot. He reminds me a lot of Eren, and he even has the dark hair and green eyes.
Actually, I thought Mikala would get on my nerves more since I don't like passive rug characters, but I liked him a lot better towards the end.

It will be interesting to see where this story goes next and this prophecy they talk of. Also did the virus dissipate? What was up with it anyway? That virus seemed totally suspect to me. How does a virus spread to a population and kill them all at the same time? What's its incubation rate? How can it spread if it kills its host that fast? My scientist mind is finding that pill a little hard to swallow, but other than that, it was a good start.

Just for the record if you haven't yet realized, this series has fantastical elements.


A great first episode. The impact building for Yuu's motivation was good. The ominous and epic BGMs were fitting. And of course my favorite part was when Guren showed up with Shigure and Sayuri! Unlikely as it may be, I'm still crossing my fingers in hoping that we will get some impactful flashback scenes from the prequel.
