My hat is eating me...

I already reviewed it, so...

The last chapter was good. Loved the Jo Jo Shout-Out, blah blah blah, pretty much everything in the first few posts.

As for the anime, I don't really think anyone should bother. The problem is, no matter what anyone says, it's a harem series. It just happens to be written by someone that actually gives a damn and builds on from the harem premise. So, we have tons and tons of fanservice, mixed in with well-developed characters and some decent action. Unfortunately, show this to any anime studio, and they'll just see "HOT VAMPIRE ON SUCCUBUS ACTION" and strip all the good bits away. And thus, you end up with one hell of an adaptation trainwreck.

It's telling when the second season of the manga is a LOT better than the first. The anime's second season somehow manages to get even worse.

^ Yeah, thats pretty much true. Which is why Mad House would be a good studio for Rosario+Vampire, becuase they wouldn't screw up the adaption.

So it is. And it looks like the next chapter or two is going to be the climax of this arc. Looking forward to it waii.

...Though I do feel a bit sorry for the mothersad.

Spoiler Tags, remember.

Yeah I have that feeling too. Who would of thought that what we thought was just a harem manga could develop into something so interesting and dramatic like this. Kinda like negima, but on a monthly basis instead of a weekly one.

Don't see anything to spoiler there. All I said was "sorry for the mother." I said nothing about why I feel sorry for her.

And I have to agree with the comparison to Negima. Up to, and including, not knowing persicely where it is headed. A couple of general ideas, but not persicely. I am mostly wondering how Akasha and Fairy Tail are related. I would find it hard to beleve that they are completely seperate at this point.

So my friend recommended this to me and claimed it was different from every other harem guy-meets-quirky-girl-this-somehow-gets-dozens-of-other-quirky-girls-to-fall-in-love-with-him-and-always-end-up-in-impossible-embarrasing-postions-for-no-reason mangas. And about 10 chapters in I was ready to call her BS. Then once the Disciplenary Committee showed up it actually got interesting.

Surprising it manages to make all the girls somewhat interesting and while it does have fanservice galore it actually tones it down some especially in serious moments unlike mangas like Negima or well every other harem manga.

Do you know what people want the most? Something somebody else has.

I adore the manga, and I seriously need to start reading the second season of it, because it looks really good. I watched the anime first, and then ready the manga, which far exceeded my expectations. I will not bother with Capu2 because it looks like shit even from afar and I do not want to see so many pantsu anymore.

Yeah, Capu2 is really stupid and I think Mad House should Make another adaption that actually does justice to the manga.

^ Moka has Shinso powers despite it apparently not being a hereditary thing. That intrigues me.

^They just explained that, if you read into the chapter enough. A list of important points:

  • Moka just about died as a child.
  • Mother wanted to save her no matter what
  • Shinso vampires are practically immortal
  • It takes a lot of blood from a Shinso vampire for another vampire to become a Shinso.
  • Mother was not as powerful as she was supposed to be.
  • Moka appears to have the power of a Shinso.

The dots connect very well and equal wild mass guess the mother gave up her blood and Shinso abilities to save Moka as a child.wild mass guess

I don't think there will be a fight between Akuha and the Wong family. She's probably there to give ultimatums or something.

she has men in black with automatic weapons...

plus she might have absorbed shinso power or something.

also, she has already mastered Fuhai Touhou's tachnique.

probably involving witches and magic bullets and sakura petals.

so moka's mom didn't die but it looks like she is about to sacrifice herself to save moka rendering not quite deadness moot.

also a ironic echo

moka's mom had to inject moka with her blood to save moka who apparently was a ill girl at birth to save her...guess who had to inject blood to tsukune to save him from dying.
