    Shame though, might have to check the manga out. Oh well, thanks for the company/commenting while watching it guys, I doubt we'll see more of this one.

    I wouldn't bet there won't be a second season to this.

    At least the last bad guy was semi-cool with nice features.

    Just watched the 2 last episodes...man, what wasted potential is what i have to conclude.

    The last 2 episodes were all that what i wanted after seeing the first episode...you know, Tskune being the only human, in a different, dangerous world, and therefore having difficulties. But instead they make a series of filler-ish content. Moka´s episodical transformation, the annoying information-bat, and so on.

    While the series overall was bad, the last 2 episodes make me want to see a 2nd season. But one question: When Tsukunde saved Moka, he clearly had vampire-powers. At the bed scene, though, he didnt have red eyes. Does or doesnt Tsukune have permanent vampire powers now? I hope so, was too cool to finale see the main character kicking some ass.

    Wow, I could not even skim it for 5 minutes.

    First off, they play the stupid audience card by explaining what Moka was doing before she did it. She should have just bit him, and let the others think she was taking one last drink of his blood. It looks the same.

    Then...suspensefully, Tsukune wakes up and saves her. Instead, we get firm knowledge that what she was about to do would heal him completely, sooner or later.

    I don't think I can stomach coming up with more reasons why this series sucked, even without even comparing it to it's original manga. This kind of series (ecchi/harem, monsters, some fighting) writes itself. Especially these kind of scenes.

    Ugh. I'm still deciding if Negima! (first series, definitely not the live action) was the worst manga adaptation I've seen or if this now takes the prize.

    Here's another reason:

    They looped that same Kurumu scene (where she was sitting on the bench) at least 6 times.

    That was terrible. That's all that needs to be said.



    edit: but deep down I'm hoping for a good OVA adaptation.

    Heh. When that was happening I actually thought at first there was some video corruption/malfunction in my download... but then I remembered I'm watching Rosario+Vampire.

    Started the manga. Funnier I would say (Only at chapter 3 now).
    Regarding the Bat: it's also there and I would say the anime adaptation follows the principles in the manga.
    The characters in the manga look younger than in the anime, the art isn't very consistent, characters seem different from time to time. But it's enjoyable.

    Regarding the anime, up to where I am, it ressembles the manga a lot, although the manga is a little more precise in side details. Moka teeth are a lot sharper too and this is a real bite too.

    As a matter of fact, as crappy as the anime is, it's still enjoyable for someone who did not read the manga. Of course it started pretty slow. towards the end, even if a bit foggy in plot, it was still enjoyable. The main concern is the overload of fanservice and panstu, and at times low animation quality (and other times pretty nice to the eye)

    Again, it's only for someone who didn't read the manga and only sought for enjoyment rather than anything else. If you don't hold too much hope, you're not that deceived

    Usually I'd agree but...

    First off this is my first time posting here so don't take my opinion too seriously.

    Normally I'd agree that most anime's when taken at face value aren't too bad if you haven't read the manga and I've checked out the manga for quite a few anime's that have peaked my interest. This was one of such anime. Oh boy did they butcher it. I only watched up to episode 10 or so and was so thoroughly disgusted with the anime I had to drop it.

    Its just really a shame that they had to do this to the story line of the much better manga. I would have really enjoyed the series if they had kept it even remotely closer.

    Btw, what also annoyed me is how Tsukune is such a super-nice guy. I mean...you can be nice AND fuck Kurumu, when she wants you to, like in the very 2nd episode....anyone disagree??? :P

    You can also be a 15 years old that is afraid of his first time...
    Plus Kurumu isn't exactly a human... and is so sticky that having sex with her is prone
    to trouble. 5 minutes of pleasure (or 30seconds for a 15 year old first timer) and months or years of doom...

    Plus the one Tsukune likes is Moka. And since he's such a super-nice guy, I don't think he wants to have anyone else. It's too bad every time he tries to get closer to Moka he only gets his blood sucked...

    They are 15...
    Plus Blood sucking is pretty much a metaphor for sex... with roles exchanged as in this sex mimic, Moka is Always the lead (usually said to be male) and Tsukune the follower (usually said to be the female)

    By the way, when we are able to stand zero no tskuaïma seconde season, R+V isn't that bad.
    And I think that a second season can only be better, which would be nice, as it would be the exact opposite to ZnT

    Only now he wants both Mokas. It would be interesting, if Dark Moka and Moka had conflicting ideas, and Tsukune had to pick one to agree with.

    Well, the concept of the 2 different Mokas is actually something i dont like so much.
    In the first episode it was said, that the Rosario is there to supress Moka´s real powers.
    Now there are 2 personalities.
    Supressing powers shouldnt create different personalities.
    And even then the series takes it rather light-heartedly...i mean...the captured Moka is actually the real Moka, while the Moka we see most of the time is a artificial personality, created to get along with other people....hm...

    I actually think Moka's two personalities is a very good part of the story. Of course it wasn't really explored that much (the anime didn't divert in that from the manga), but it could potentially allow some really interesting history for Moka. Now we only know she was in the human world in a human school and was apparently bullied but it's safe to assume she was there as the airhead Moka, not as the super vampire Moka.

    Like I said, nothing has been said so far in the scanlated manga, so I'm only speculating but perhaps Moka has some really dark history that forced her to become the kickboxer super vampire. Yet I very much doubt that is her dream personality, that is, something she really wanted to be, as made evident by the nature of the rosary suppressed Moka. For example, if we take some really miserable place on Earth, like Burma or Afghanistan, there could be any number of men there that became merciless and highly efficient killers yet if they had lived somewhere else, they could have happily became good doctors or gardeners or who knows what. Perhaps Moka escaped whatever past she had by getting the Rosary and starting to go to schools. It would have been a shortcut in changing herself but since we are talking about monsters and magic, why not...

    The last two episodes were much better than the rest of the series. If only the whole series was serious, it'd would've been a decent one.

    Are there plans for another season?
