Synopsis
Kojou Akatsuki's days as an ordinary high school student in the Demon District of Itogami Island come to an abrupt end after a fateful encounter leaves him with the remarkable abilities of a vampire. It isn't long before he is thrust into the center of attention when it is discovered that he is the fourth primogenitor, an immensely powerful vampire whom most consider to be merely a legend. Fearing Kojou's destructive potential, the Lion King Organization sends in an apprentice sword-shaman, Yukina Himeragi, to monitor, and should he become a threat, kill the boy deemed the world's most powerful vampire. Forced together by circumstance, the two form an unlikely alliance as Kojou comes to terms with his abilities and they both struggle to protect the city from various emerging chaotic forces.

What a great way to end this anime! This is definitely my favorite episode. Despite its flaws and the cliché power-of-friendship finish in the final fight, I still really enjoyed how this arc concluded. It’s just a shame that the arc was so short.
What an interesting arc this is. The introduction of the new character, who I think might only be temporary, was really engaging. Her identity is also quite interesting, even if it already feels a little too obvious.
I didn't like the conclusion of this episode that much and I really feel like there's not been much character development on any characters on the series. It feels kind of repetitive and boring.
So much information was revealed this episode, and the pieces are starting to come together. Bit by bit, the main villain’s goal is becoming more apparent, and it sets up what might happen in the next episodes.
Start of a new arc again, and we’re introduced to a new villain. I really appreciated the animation this episode, especially how the alchemist’s powers were portrayed. I think this could become a great arc, especially since it may be this season's final one.
This was an okay episode to end the arc. For me, it didn’t really live up to the setup from the previous episodes, especially given how long this arc has been. The animation also dipped in this episode, which is a big reason I didn’t like it that much.
We’re approaching the climax of this arc, and I have to admit I’m starting to enjoy this anime again. Maybe it’s the action? Maybe the characters? I’m not sure. I guess that’s just how guilty-pleasure anime works, you enjoy it despite all its flaws.
Despite my hopes for this arc, it feels like it’s dragging a bit, though I’m still hopeful it will reach a good conclusion. One thing I didn’t like is how clueless Asagi is about Kojou. It’s been 17 episodes now so how does someone as smart as her still not know what he is?
It’s now the start of a new arc, as well as a continuation of the previous one. The focus shifts from Yuuma to Natsuki, and I’m starting to get interested in the direction this arc will take.
This is certainly one of the weaker arcs of the anime. I still enjoyed the setup and concept, but the conclusion feels a bit lacking. Maybe that’s because it’s meant to be part of a larger arc, but overall, I didn’t enjoy it as much.
Yuuma’s character is starting to interest me. The fact that she’s known Kojou the longest is intriguing, and the explanation of the body-swapping mechanic tied to the warping phenomenon was really entertaining. I never thought it could be interpreted that way.
A new arc begins, and of course another girl gets added to the mix. The episode did a great job building anticipation with its interesting concept. That ending scene really caught me off guard, though I probably should’ve expected it since witches are the theme of this arc.
This is by far my favorite arc of the anime, and what a great way to end it. I loved the animation, the action, and, surprisingly enough, even the fanservice. This might end up being one of my favorite guilty-pleasure anime.
As the arc progressed, I began to notice similarities to Index anime. It doesn’t really have the same plot, but it gives off a very similar overall feel. It’s like To Aru Index, but with more fanservice. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, in fact I actually enjoyed it.
As slow-paced as this episode was, it still managed to make me feel a lot of emotions through the scenes it presented. One moment I was shocked and surprised, and the next I was laughing. It really did a great job of setting things up for the climax of the arc.
A new arc has started, and a new character has been introduced. Based on the hints given in this episode so far, this feels like it could be a very interesting arc. I’m really hoping the execution and character writing will be done well.
I really enjoyed the action-packed final episode of this arc. As always, the animation and action scenes were great, and the pacing was solid. One thing I didn’t like, though, was the writing for the new character. Her development didn’t feel natural to me and instead felt forced
I don't know if this arc has any importance to the plot itself or just a filler one but the foreshadowing is crazy here. Instead of giving closure like most anime, the last episode in this show served as a hook to keep audience curious for the future of Kojou and his harem. 9/10.
Oookay, this arc came out of nowhere. A mysterious girl which has a striking resemblance to our main characters approached Kojou and co, saying things that shouldn't make sense but almost intimately familiar with the group balance and nuances... let's see where this is going.
This really sets the stage for the climax of the arc. The rising tension, combined with the characters finally coming together at the end, builds excitement and anticipation for the next episode.
