Annette acts like she is the only person in the world who knows how to fight a revolution and it is kind of annoying already
xxpogchampxx
I can't believe Richter basically got his mom killed by standing there and she had to push him out of the path of that hit
sailormochi
Richter seeing his mother die like that right in front of him was brutal and he is definitely going to be haunted by it for a long time
yiga_clan
That dragon form for Olrox looks like a feathered serpent and it makes him way cooler than a standard vampire
yveltal
the paladin boss sounds absolutely terrifying in the spanish dub and that voice fits a villain perfectly
ram_rage_145
I have mixed feelings about how fast everything moved in this first episode, because they just threw a dozen characters at us without much breathing room. Olrox is definitely the one who grabbed my attention most though and his voice acting is great. I keep thinking about Richter and his mom, and whether his guilt is actually justified since she basically chose to save him.

annette acting like she is the only person who knows how to handle the revolution was kind of annoying and she has major main character syndrome
sakurafan
It was pretty heavy watching Richter lose his mom like that, but I'm still not sure if it was actually his fault for being in the way.
zumi_zephyr_498
olrox turning into that quetzalcoatl thing was definitely cool and his design is easily the most interesting one yet
izanami_illusion
I really liked that Olrox guy and his demon form looked like a snake god or something plus the way he just left Richter there was cold
chibiusa
the animation felt a bit choppy and those static faces were really noticeable during the fight scenes which sucked because the art is actually pretty
getsuga_tensho_463
that mozart music playing during the scenes was a nice touch and it really fit the whole french revolution setting
darunia_267
introducing that many characters in one go made everything feel messy and hard to follow
riza_hawkeye
I was not expecting Olrox to be the standout but he really stole the show for me with that Quetzalcoatl look and his vibe is so different from the usual vampires. Seeing Richter lose his mom like that was brutal, and I think she could have won that fight if she didn't have to worry about him being right there
chopper_champion_38
Julia pushing Richter out of the way broke me and it makes me wonder if she could have actually beaten Olrox if she had stayed focused on the fight instead of protecting him
corkus_the_cynic_192
hearing Mozart playing during the revolution scenes was a nice touch and it fit the setting perfectly while the characters were planning their next moves against the aristocrats
giyu_guardian
olrox has such a cool demon form and he looked just like a giant bird snake thing plus that line about not killing richter yet was so threatening and I am definitely watching more of this
brassius
you can tell the animation looks a bit stiff in some of these fight scenes and it really takes away from the feeling of the show when the characters move like that and feel disconnected from the background
black
That interaction where Olrox refused to kill Richter was a great introduction and he seems totally ruthless
violet_evergarden_168
The music choices were spot on, especially using Mozart to build that intense atmosphere during the chaos
EPISODE CONTEXT
This is Episode 1 of 2, meaning there is no preceding content — everything begins here. As the sole setup episode in an extremely short run, it carries the full burden of world-building and character establishment before Episode 2 closes things out. Whatever threads are introduced here will need resolution in the very next installment, making this episode the direct foundation for the finale.
