Blood Lad (TV) Genres: action, comedy, romance, supernatural Themes: dark comedy, demons, fanservice, ghosts, otaku, vampires Plot Summary: Blood Lad follows Staz, a vampire that is obsessed with the human world, and Fuyumi, a human girl that was killed and turned into a ghost after wandering into the demon world. Staz promises to help Fuyumi regain her humanity by bringing her back to life, as it means that he would be able to visit the human world. ---------------------------------- X Episodes Action, Comedy, Demons,Horror, Romance, Seinen, Supernatural, Vampire Ep. 1 Ok, first off, I really hope this isn't 10 episodes like the rumours suggest. I've been waiting 2 years and 1 month since this was first announced and just a 10 ep run would be hugely disappointing. The only hope would be that it would be caused by them ending an arc there and another season will come later. But enough about rumours. Anyway, loved the episode. I've been staying away from the manga in prep for the show so it was nice to get back into the swing of things. Love May'n so love the OP, although I don't think it's her best one. Whether short or long, i'm really looking forward to the rest of this. |

Episode 1
Definitely funny. I got some Blue Exorcist vibes from this. The OP song seems okay I guess, as it's also the same one used for the previews. Staz is a funny one though with the skull and all. On the other hand, Fuyumi is so cute and shy when she meets Staz Anime hyper Decent episode so far and I hope this follows its adaptation faithfully. spoiler[Ending implies that the duo are going to go to the other world. I can't wait!] Btw, this series is only 10 episodes + OVA, right? Not sure why ANN lists it as 12. |

Oh yeah, this can be our replacement for Hataraku Maou-sama, especially since Staz and Maou have the same VA.

Nice tits.
This show looks like fun. I just hope they don't show Staz picking his nose too often - that grosses me out. |

It took a few volumes for me to like the manga, and it seems the same will be true for the anime. I can't wait for it to get to the parts I really enjoyed. It seems like it will be a good adaption.

Don't really know much about this, but I felt excited to watch it since they announced it ages back for some reason.
Episode 1 No complaints really, took me a while to realise that this might just be some replacement to Mao-sama, and did not even realize that Staz shares the voice. Staz is sure an interesting character as despite appearing like the loser type, he is fully respected. Got to love his fashion sense, and lol that he was indeed planning on spoiler[searching for the Dragon Balls to resurrect her.] It is a bit sad that spoiler[she died so lamely in] the first episode, but it gives us a plot to follow. Not sure how much of a spoiler it is as despite being a bit of a shock, the episode title kind of ruins it. |

LOL. I was thinking about the same thing when I saw the voice actor's name, like, is that the new Maou for this season. |

Wow, that's quite a color design. "Random yellow" meet "everything else".
Fuyumi's death {not a spoiler since if you're here already, it's already a dead issue} was equally horrifying in how everyone was completely nonplussed {including herself} in her spoiler[being eaten alive] and hilarious because 1) Where's the rest of the bones and 2) That skull was just wrong. I don't know anything about the manga but I like what I see {...boobs... and monsters. My inner ten year old is pleased} and I do want to learn more about "Snail Pack" girl and Jasonette. Still as basic shounen stories go, searching for one resurrection with the dead one in question rather than 7 balls for no real reason or an infinite number of jewel shards or a completely unknown amount of treasure hidden somewhere would imply there could be an actual plot. Sometime. Maybe. Still, boobs + monsters = good. I'm not getting a "Devil is a part Timer" vibe from this one myself {both leads seem a bit dim for complex emotional ... anything} but it could be passably entertaining. |

Staz sure is a weird one.
Yanagi is just an unlucky human... Those two really make an unusual pair. The story is fun, weird, different and interesting. Will be watching this ^^ |

I liked the shot they took at Final Fantasy. "There's nothing final about it!"
I feel like I missed something, but I didn't get the Tsuchinoko joke. Was that the plant? And did we ever meet Yamada?

A Tsuchinoko is some sort of mythical Japanese snake creature, I think. I dont know if you watched Muromi-san, but I think that is what Muromi's snake buddy was

Ah. Have not seen more than the first ep of Maromi-san. At first I thought it might be the 3-eyed shoulder-rider (is Saty the woman or the beast?), but that character seemed too useful to make a meal of. But Fuyumi seemed so distressed, not like eating snakes, but like eating a family pet. Whatever it was, she didn't want Staz eating it either. I kept trying to figure out what the silhouette was of, but the plant was closest, even though it had many tentacles and not just the one. (lol at it crashing into the window frame as it went up the building)

This sorta reminds me of the Disgaea series. These characters would fit right in. Anyway I cant get enough of the opening. I love it. :]
