Is the series going to continue like this...will it ever get serious? It's just the same thing every episode

It appears to follow the manga. Just in a different order. But yeah it will become serious. IF it continues to follow the manga however.
They are going for a very different timeline. I have no idea why they are going with this method, but they skipped a really good Kurumu development episode, and one of the actual action arcs rather than these pathetic monster-of-the-week eps that end with a 15 frame fight.
It seems they're going after introducing all of the girls first. Don't know why, but expect the series to pick up very substantially in the second half.
Though many people who are still on the fence about this series will be long gone.
I'll stick to it just to see how it follows or not follows up to the Manga. But yeah it's a shame they didn't do that Kurumu episode. Or they might still do that. I personally hope they will do that episode.

Sleepy hollow, eh? Scarecrow and all.
Has that tree always been there?
Haha that's pretty interesting...

Looks like we finally hit our first serious arc. I realize that they wanted to accelerate Ruby's introduction (yay, a goth loli in a monster series! big surprise) but surely she could have waited while they did some serious incident at the school first.
We should have a pretty good idea how this will all end though, considering Ruby is part of the harem.
I'm always surprised that Moka is the only one who knows Tsukune is a human. It seems so stupidly obvious, but the other girls never have a clue. I'd think Kurumu would at least have a good idea too, considering Succubi and Vampires are somewhat similar. Then again, she's dumb as a rock.
Yay, finally. The last few seconds with the girls all serious was 0.o, even more so than all the fanservice, but that's 'cause I'm probably so used to it now.. If I remember correctly, it's the first episode that didn't end with a Kapucchu. I was also glad to see the rosario on the verge of breaking from the sheer power leaking from Moka. Sets the mood very nicely. (until we see flying panty kicks.)
Thank goodness there's an episode with some seriousness to it. Honestly, if they had made the entire series a more serious one, it would have been better. Oh well. Good to see everyone incredibly pissed at the end. Too bad the bat didn't get eaten...
In fact it's precisely because this show has been so light and useless up to now that this 180° turn (is it really) is working so nicely due too a strong contrast...Originally Posted by narutosharingan

This episode is a epic fail on all levels it was bad enough I might actually stop watching this series entirely at this point so beware.
I disagree... well, i don't completely agree...
the problem with that ep was with the framerate... they can improve in the future...
I was really disapointed the last scene from the previous ep was trashed like this.
There sure was actions and pantsu, but they could have come up with something for that last scene that is left untouched in that ep...
Or will they develop in a special or something?

As David75 said... the last scene from ep 9 was trashed & followup was skipped over which makes ep 10 a failure, not to mention how little it follows the original manga...
Anyone know off hand if there's gonna be a 2nd season to keep up w/ the Manga or a few OVAs to cover all the content they skipped?
What a terrible episode for logic.. First they're suggesting this girl just come to school with them, nevermind them asking her age or if she wanted to and totally ignoring her Master who would still be in the same predicament even if she just left.
And then why were they like "Oh noes, Ruby is gone! D:"...?
She lives on top of the hill, she probably just went back to her nice, big, soft bed...
Wow...this episode sucks on too many levels.
1) Animation is beyond horrible. They appear to have used approximately 600 yen on this episode.
2) The storyboarding was done severely intoxicated. There was absolutely no flow, none of it made any sense unless you had read the manga.
3) I believe it was at least 4 chapters of the manga. Now, that's not bad for a series like...Bleach or Naruto, where most of the panels are taken up by action and it's 10+ chapters to a volume. R+V has only four chapter to a volume.
That's right, this was vaguely an entire volume of manga crammed into a single episode.
This arc of the manga was pretty good, one of the better ones the series had to offer, but they really turned it to shit. It's not enough to make me drop the series, because I still have a lot of hope it can turn around with the number of episodes they have left, but don't let this abomination of an episode turn you away from this series too quickly. (Unless...I won't spoil, but it would be pretty easy for them to compound this fuckup, I hope they don't utterly bastardize the storyline to do it.)
Now, I can honestly say that this has been one of the worst adaptations of a pretty decent manga. Still, it's certainly not Negima! (or Negima? or Negima Live Action). So far, it's probably been around the levels of Black Cat. Badly done and ruins a good storyline by adding in crap with the bat (in the manga simple narration) or cutting out decent storylines to fill the harem as quickly and pointlessly as possible. But they could have still saved it if this series was 24 or 26 instead of 13. There probably isn't too much hope for it now, but I might as well see it through.
