Thread: Rosario + Vampire

  1. #181
    Kraco, there's a very little bit about inner Moka's past in the 2nd series of the manga, chapter 3 I think.

    Also within some of the manga she admits the vampires by nature are warlike creatures

    And I think that a second season can only be better, which would be nice, as it would be the exact opposite to ZnT
    ...maybe not, and would certainly be a bad omen toward more decent source material-turned-shit-anime since a third season of Zero no Tsukaima has been announced.

    Not to mention that though bastardized, ZnT was a lot closer to it's own source material for a great deal of the two seasons. Sure, they stumbled a bit at the end of each one, but nowhere near as badly as the end of this was. ZnT was a series of novels. R+V is a manga. It's already storyboarded. No reason to fuck up what's already "directed" out better than the pile of crap these last episodes have been.

    Well, this anime was epic fail. I was hoping it could end somewhat decently but it ended up with Moka just doing the same fighting crap over and over after reviving Tsukune.

    /deletes

    I think I'm going to read the manga. You guys have good things to say about it and I liked the characters in the series so might be worth the read.
    This fantastic Sousuke sig was made by the one and only Lucifus! Thanks man!

    Lol, WHAT? It just finishes airing, and they grant permission for a second season without so much as looking at DVD sales feedback. What are they thinking?

    It will continue the story of the first 13-episode series...
    At least they had the decency to say it continues the story of the first anime season. After all, it failed to follow the story of the manga...

    For the first time in my life I've to judge the Japanese men like pantsu a little bit too much if even a series like this is a success.

    ANN said that they'll introduce more characters from the manga AND anime exclusive ones too....sounds like its just going to be the same filler stuff in this new season.

    My Money is on the new character will be his cousin he was talking to on the cell phone in episode 1 that's already classified as a new anime exclusive character.

    if I watch the 2nd season it'll be because the lineup then sux & I need something to pass my time. who knows it might be good for a laugh at that time, even though I hold no hope for it redeeming itself on the storyline.

    Oh hell, why not I suppose...

    Might pick up the manga so I can compare the two.

    I revive this thread with the first ep from season 2:
    Let empty eps and ecchiness prevail!

    [Chihiro] Rosario to Vampire Capu2 01 [h264][4E1054EB] mkv 229Mb @ Mininova

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    The series never follows the manga (which given how they butchered the first season, it might be better if they went with an original slant like the producers of To-Love-Ru did), the series is fairly vapid, the background music obnoxious, and there are more panty shots than Najica, but for some strange reason, I watch it anyway.

    The series is stupid fun, and despite all the faults in the story, the series has earned a reputation for excellent animation, and the cast is really strong. Nothing has changed here, the series is perhaps one of the best animated of the season so far. Mizuki Nana's range covers the dual personalities of Moka excellently, and the rest of the cast is still perfect for all of their roles.

    ...and despite her being a total bitch, she's still drawn cute, and there's finally a place for that fucking bat (apparently her pet) other than being annoying as hell. We got to see her squeeze the hell out of it, much to my satisfaction.

    I think part of the reason was the crappy raws. Animation may have been good last season, but the dodgy upscale killed it. You're almost making me interested again though Ryll.

    Almost.

    The ending was the best part of the episode. Do they use some kind of motion capturing for the animations? They are like...real-life-like. Looks really similiar to some of the dancing-animations in Macross Frontier.

    Anyway, WHAT was it with all those panty-shots?!? I may be wrong but i cant remember that from season one. Was kind of annyoing.
    Also, the whole point of the series was to..."reveal" that the new girl is Moka´s sister. I havent read the manga, but i instantly just knew that she´d be her sister, from the very first scene on. Kind of non-climatic. And why did Moka beat up the two monster-boys? It was her sister who caused the trouble, the boy only reacted. Sigh

    Seriously, they should just turn this into a straight-forward hentai-series, and it would be better. Also, over and over repeated transformation-sequences are so 1997. We´re in 2008, i dont want to see it in every single episode...well, i guess i´ll have to bear with it...

    The pantsu shots were alright just as prevalent in season 1. And it seems they grew no wiser with season 2. It must have taken them now all 3 seconds from the beginning to show Moka's pantsu... It's ridiculous. Almost as ridiculous as the thinking faculties of the director of this show. I can't really explain why I even watching this episode, but it must have been just to see how badly they raped the story this time and how deeply they turned it into another idiotic pantsu fest. And they truly did.

    I guess I'll go back to waiting for the manga chapters, however slowly they are released. Such woe.

    If they did anything successfully in S1, it was pantsu.

    I'm hearing all this stuff about good ending. Are we referring to the ending of Season 1 here, or the ending sequence for S2?

    The episode has a very flashy Poppy ending for it. This is likely actually the opening for the show but its at the end of Capu 2 episode 1. Oh yeah and as for pantsu this episode absolutely destroyed any record for pantsu shots S1 could have hoped to hold it was completely out of control. Heck the "preview" at the end is done over a background of 2 shaking asses of course this was the one instance they managed to avoid a panty shot.

    That ending aside this was pretty terrible its clear they are not doing anything different then episode 1 so unless your goal is to watch a mindless harem I would likely pass on this.

    Here is a Youtube link to the ending they are talking about.

    wow that ending they must be useing some brand new TEC or something it almost looks like cgi but im not sure and even if it is its silky smooth id like to see a whole show animated like that or something but with COMBAT!
    Favorite Gotwoot Mod moment: "Why is everyone in that show black? The art and music are pretty good, and the voice acting is alrite as well......but i can't stand that guy who follows afro around. Hes so, well, black, for the lack of a better term (well thats not true, there is a better term, but i wont use it here)" Assassin

    i was raised by this woman =O

    Well. I must commend them for the ED or OP sequence, which ever it is. It's as you guys said, good animation, and the song was pretty well suited. They actually managed to make the girls appealing without flashing breasts or underwear. (Well not much compared to what they usually do anyway).
