This show is definitely playing off A Certain Magical Index, he practically said "such misfortune" right at the end!

The spoiler[fluffer] line was brilliant as well.

I'm really enjoying it Very Happy

That ending was ridiculous for episode 4. I knew spoiler[Akatsuki would come back though].

The fight was okay I guess. Surprisingly, I enjoyed the OST more than I had thought. So this arc is over and I'm ready for the next. I already see a love triangle brewing here.

When is Pupa being aired? Anyway there always seems to be a certain theme that is common in anime seasons. Like last season there was a lot of all girl cast anime. A year ago there was an undead season.

Episode 4

Still going pretty strong, although maybe not strong tension near the beginning as I accidentally go distracted that I was half way through watching the episode and watched a movie.

Animation is usually pretty strong and the general level of design seems to put it above what you expect from shows a just not long ago, like compared to say Index. And although we have the tsundere bits and "what did you do to her" parts, it does not feel as bad as it should.

Looks like the spoiler[Asagi] ship is rapidly taking on water. That's ok, because Himeragi is cute

I actually like this show! I'm surprised because it has so many harem elements. Maybe it's because the main couple actually gets along (yay for no stupid "tsundere" abuse!) And none of the other girls, *especially* the little sister, are being played as remotely viable options.

I like the way its playing the vampire thing. A little sexy, a lot scary, only certain ones are immortal-seems good so far. The first villians motives were incredibly weak, but otherwise it was done well. A lot of fun action overall. And spoiler[Kojou's friend from the first ep seems to be a bad guy. Totally didn't see that coming!] Show's got a lot of potential so far!

Hmm....I wonder if I should pick this back up again. I lost interest after ep 01...but people seem to be liking it and I hate missing out on something great....

Because Emiya Shirou was wrong all along. People don't die when they are killed. :'D

Well, I wouldn't go so far to say it's great in the grand scheme of things. I mean, while it is great for me because I'm tired of how these shows usually go and this is a refreshing change of pace, I don't think it'll win over anyone who dislikes this sort of thing in the first place.

spoiler[Pretty regular school stuff with some supernatural add-on.
The unavoidable sports tournament this time (well, just the prep part).
This episode definitely felt more harem-like..
Those two looked even more like a couple ^^
It all felt like intro into the main event.
Guess we'll see more next time..]

Episode 5
So I guess this is the new arc.

Well, if anything, there's two new characters introduced, one of them being a spoiler[girl who I assume hold some sort of grudge. Judging by the PV/OP song, she also seems to have archery skills. Then, there's that guy at the end] of the episode that I'm curious about.

As for episode 5 though, I wanted to seespoiler[ Yukina cheer! Damn it, those Shikigami ruined it Evil or Very Mad]

P.S. Yukina looked adorable this episode.

Episode 5

His classmates are probably wasting their efforts in trying to get his attention on blonde girl, he is obviously all about Himeragi. Have to wonder why she would spoiler[buy so much onions], I would think there would be better places than supermarkets if you bought that much in bulk.

The reason he did not pick spoiler[Himeragi straight away for the party was not that he forgot she is a candidate], and she did not get too mad at least. Still wonder how her organisation spoiler[knew beforehand].

Also her outfit matched the spear and made it look like a cosplay.
