The concept of vampire and it's traditions vary a lot nowadays.
Besides, this was never a serious anime from the get go, so there should be no reason why they had to implement such a serious, gruesome aspect of the vampire bite.

Which is why Im dropping it. Im not dropping it solely because of that though. I have mentioned other things that really bother me about this, but the bite thing is the last straw. Why should I wait week after week for a show which has nothing to offer, when its manga form is better in practically all aspects (including the bite, which indicates a more serious and dark tone)?
Peace.
If a show has 'vampire' in the name you would think there would be at least some blood sucking. Even Karin had blood sucking if I remember correctly. I'm still watching for the gratuitous ecchi and absurdity humor because that is entertaining enough for my purposes, but I must say I was expecting something more from this based on the reviews and hype surrounding the manga.
It is a "bite", she actually drinks blood from him, but it leaves no puncture marks or anything.
Isn't that how biting usually works? Leaving marks and all?
I would not say the manga is better in all aspects. A lot of time is wasted on the "monster-of-the-week" chapters, and the art was atrocious in an attempt to differentiate dark-Moka from cute Moka. It has only become consistent now, at volume 5 or so. A much longer period than most artists take to even out their art.
To each their own in the end.
With marks or not, biting goes on all the same.

Just a little aside for the people complaining about the lack of "bite marks" and a double comment to those who say the Manga is any different.
First off the manga is no different on the lack of marks its stated specifically that a vampires bite marks instantly heal after they are done sucking the blood. Its simply something this series does. Seriously would it make any sense for him to walk around with a bleeding wound on his neck everyday? The series clearly needs that in either the anime or Manga of this series to give it any chance of working.
Don't get me wrong she drinks his blood the kiss mark is left by her lipstick none of that seems out of place or odd but instead a needed bit of the plot as hiding she's a vampire is suppose to be part of the plot so having her with blood everywhere and him with bleeding wounds all the time would never in any way make sense.
The manga is actually pretty good and this series clearly doesn't follow the manga but its also clearly based on events in the manga just in a very modified order of events. Essentially this is a playful ecchi anime and in no way a action anime like Naruto or bleach or anything like that. They certainly could have and still could go another direction with the actual manga plot at a later date and I can certainly see dropping this for anyone who was dead set on a exact manga translation. Its a lot like what they did with Ichigo 100% where they took a very long running manga and condensed some of its essence into a 12 episode series. You can't expect everything to be handled the same they don't have the time so in this case they are forced to quickly introduce characters and make the best of it.
onto episode 4
Now what I found the most interesting about this was the opening now contains a 5th girl despite the 4th not being introduced yet also we have our 3rd new ending for the series in the first 4 episodes. Also this new ending is awesome and the new opening is good at the very least.
I found this episode really odd actually I don't even think those 3 guys are in the manga at all and that fat guy I don't have a clue what he was suppose to be except maybe a hungry ghost of some sort? Overall another fun episode and it actually looks like after the modification of character introductions that they are really getting a bit more on track with the manga.
At least Dark Moka had more than a One-Line script this time.
I kinda like the Boobs vs Belly battle
Other than that, this ep was fairly weak, even for what we've seen of the series yet.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
This episode was just plain but +1 for Boobs vs Belly.
Well next one should be more fun. Who can say NO to swimsuits?
"Life is hilariously cruel" by Bender
I have to say that there's nothing more annoying in anime than these Girl-Idol Fanclub guys. Not only is it lame beyond belief, it's not funny, and it's so overused.
Sorry, just needed to vent a little on how much I hated the use of these type of characters in anime.
Roger that. It seems like we got rid of them during this single episode, though. It would have been too painful to watch them any longer. Especially since they were so miserable monsters. If Tsukune had known some kung fu, he could have beaten them by himself.
I hope we will get serious opponents soon. Well, I could say I hope but honestly between the bat and the panty shots, I'm not sure whether I'd really even like to risk seeing anything serious in this series...
For lack of a better name at this time, [Witch Hunter Robin] was always in the first OP and ED. Her face was flashed quickly with the other four just as it is now, and she was the white outlined girl with six wings in the original ED. But now we get to see her in color and in full goth-loli style. The "first" ending (on the first episode) was the OP of the second and third episodes.Originally Posted by DDBen
Do I sense that Dark Moka is a tsundere? "You're just food," is a variation, but fits into the mold quite nicely.
As for the fan perverts, there's something seriously wrong with the Yukari one. In just the last episode they said that she skipped several grades and she's four years younger than them. That means she's 11 or 12.
If the 6 or 7 figures at the very end of the ED are any indication, we should have some serious opponents fairly soon. Swimsuit episode aside, it can't be more than one or two episodes away.
As a fan of Dark Moka, how can I not love the new ED?

Well, if the new ED sequence is any indication of later episodes, I'm in..
NO swimsuits. They can come out without them.
I want to know what the driver meant by "As expected of his choice", referring to tsukune

I do believe the raw came out last week...anyone know why they didn't release?
Hum, may I guess they needed time to recover from that swimsuit ep[Nipponsei] Rosario to Vampire OP ED Single - STARCAMP EP [Mizuki Nana].zip.torrent

Well, that's where Bakawolf's crew went atleast. I'm sure there were other groups doing this as well. Maybe they are indeed recovering.
WTH with the new ending? its better than the OP. what annoys me is that this show will probably go the way of that witches harem show (forgot the name) while it could have been downright awesome (the premise is actually pretty good, and if you think about it, Tsukune is in a REALLY dire situation).
then again, i might be wrong (with last week's showing of the bruises Tsukune got from the beating). either way, i'll keep watching. Vampires are cool!
