Rosario to Vampire

Synopsis :
Unable to graduate from junior high school, Aono Tsukune was out of luck until his father was able to find a high school acceptance letter for him. On his way to school, Tsukune gets hit by a beautiful girl on a bicycle named Akashiya Moka who actually a vampire. Tsukune learns that his new high school is actually a school for monsters, and any humans found are to be killed right away! To make matters worse, Moka finds out that he is human, and all the boys at school are jealous of their friendship. Will Tsukune be able to keep his secret and survive high school?

I've watch the first eps for this series and it seems ok, and since nobody had created a topic i decided to.

first eps as funny, and i'm a sucker for romance comedy, so i thought it was pretty good.

I dont know that i would call it a romantic comedy. Yes the elemnts for that are there but is has more suppernatural and conflict elements present.

as shallow as this show maybe, im actually impressed how it turned out as an anime, ive read some of the manga some months ago, and i could say that the first 2 episodes are an improvement, not only are the main characters introduced better, the line art is much more to my preference.

i must admit that im liking this anime version more even if the cg seems too cg-ish for the theme(prefer some misty foggy effects ere and there).. still the animation seems good enuff, tho the colors seem a bit too bright/colorful for a "monster school" theme(but then again its a comedy).. but overall its tolerable.

what i dont like tho is the choice of bgm, the music suxx, theyre tryin to sound transy/monstery wit the different musical sounds but for some reason it doesnt blend well for me on most of the scenes. its better to insert slight and different versions of a particular tune/music in some of the instances imo(kinda like the way sounds/music are used in rozen maiden). other than that, while its not much for story, and indeed heavy on the fanservice(and what great service it has! u dont even need em nekkid for ur nose to bleed), just for improving on what i thought was a boring manga, i kinda like it.

Tolerable is definitely the word. I'm not usually a fan of this slightly brainless type of anime, but I have to admit, I was moderately impressed with it so far. The production values are obviously good, though, you're right tabz, the music sucks more than the vampire lead.

I'll probably end up watching most, if not all, of this series. Not because it's particularly good, but because I can't see much else in this season's line up that'll usurp it. Plus, I can't watch Il Teatrino, because I still haven't seen the original Gunslinger Girl...

Here's hoping this will help prop up my interest this season.

The guy has a particuarly whiny voice which I don't enjoy. I really wish they had gone a different way on the voice. I mean he doesn't have to sound like a complete loser does he? Other then that though, I've been enjoying the show. Its fun watching 2 hot girls go after the same guy. Can't wait for next weeks character introduction.

Hey, I like the show. Like I said, I'll probably watch the whole series and enjoy it too. That doesn't make the show 'awesome' though...

While the music of the show kind of suck,the rest is quite fine overall,not bad.I do think i might follow it if it keep sticking to the manga and keep the animation quality like that.I like the manga,so hope the anime won't fail me.

shaping up to be a typical harem... not that I'm complaining though... Razz

ep3

and now that ive actually caught up a bit on the manga, i cant really blame the way the show is...

but still hearing a damn annoying voice-desu really popped a few veins in my head. well cant be helped... even the action was kinda cheesy, so is the script and dialouge, still it would be better if they werent talking too damn fast.. iits like hearing blahgblahblahblahblah.. without any pauses of consideration.

and damn! wtf the background music XD! common sense plz.

only reason to continue watching: teh fanservice. Mr. Green

Hiya, anyone knows where I can check on the number of episode this series has?

ANIDB & google not really helping much. Really hope this series would go the way of the manga, and that's gonna be way exciting. Laughing

I usually end up checking wiki if Anime-Source doesn't have it...

Wiki, AnimeNfo and this site all agree: Rosario To Vampire = 13 eps.
