I don't think this anime has had a thread yet... but so far I watched till episode 5 and I am impressed. They do the vampire theme VERY VERY well despite the comedy which is in my opinion misplaced.

Watch it. It looks like a 9/10 so far.

I'm sticking with 6 coz i dont see why a vampire should be using Samurai Sword since a Sabre or Long Sword would be nicer... And our hero appearance seems to reflace that Bloody ZAFT Supreme Ruler in GSD series.

Sure... sticking with the oldest being the strongest is nice but then again most vampire series were boring. Hellsing were good in manga but horrible in anime. Blood+ is out of topic, I got enough of Chick with Blades... Well vampire is and all time favourite and I quite enjoy a vampire related series... but so far... the best Vampire related anime I've watch is still VAMPIRE PRINCESS MIYU which hardly even related to Vampire accept that heroine is Vampire herself.

BBB is nice since we got lots of vampire lurking around and some automatic machine gun actions... then again is still early to judge this anime. It is nice but still too early to give it a high ratings... something tells me I aint gonna like the later on story...

A vampire uses a sword over a gun because other vampires don't die from gun wounds. On the other hand, cutting a vampire's head with a sword will do it.

Just watched episode 9.... SWEET! Reminded me sooooo much of White Wolf's Vampire the Masquerade...

Damn good series...

Damn good game, as well. If you can get past all the bugs, that is (I'm talking about Bloodlines here).

What's the story and characters like? It's not often that you rate anime highly, Faebinder, so I'm interested in getting into this. Especially if it's reminiscent of Maquerade. All you've rated so far is the world and the style, though...

Oh, never mind. I've read your review now. Definitely going to look into it when I have the time.

Oh, and apologies for the double post.

It's alright. I am just impressed that they would stick to the ancient vampire theme vs the younger generations. Someone did their homework... now if only they took cuteness out of it... but they are doing a great job toning it down.

Just saw episode 10... gotta tell ya.. the story is more exciting to me than the regular garbage we watch now a days... this has become a 10 now.

PS: The red eyed murderer..... well well named and done.

Hmmm... Is indeed nice to see that someone still doing their homework seperating the gap between Ancients and Young Ones. However, I feel lacking a little in their elaboration... perhaps later they'll explain.

No doubt the series is getting better, I just hope it doesn't end up like Trinity Blood to me. Don't get me wrong Trinity Blood is a great anime but somehow I stop half way forgotting the reason, maybe when the DVD comes i just purchase it.

P/S: Just Purchase Kagihime Monogatari DVD yesterday =P

I also think that this anime is promising. It seems to take its time to let the story unravel but that's pretty typical. One gripe with the animation is that some of the characters of the company seem to look too much alike and I've was a little confused in ep 10 because of this.

I really like how most of the themes of the show are not black and white. Even the dreaded kowloon children are protrayed in a way that the viewer can sympathize with.

some people have comented on the weakness of the heroine, but I think her character is pretty interesting. she's very committed to her work and yet she doesn't worship policy either. The series hasn't really focused on her much but I think that she has potential to be a strong character. I hardly can imagine that she will end up with jirou but they will probably have some clever interactions.

I like jirou's little brother also. He is really naive, but not stupid. His faith in people including 'bad' vampires is admirable. So far he hasn't faced any true adversity by himself, so I'm really interested to see how he handles things when confronted with a non-black and white issue.

I cant belive this anime is almost over. I love it and would have liked it to be at least 26 episodes instead of 12. Sad
