Rosario + Vampire - 13 Episodes

Because I did not want to watch another 50 episode beast so soon, I regrettably decided to watch a smaller series. Rosario + Vampire is yet another fanservice romantic comedy in all aspects. And by that I mean its the same fucking thing in a different setting, which always fucking sucks. Honestly, is there no more creativity in this genre? Same wimpy ass unlikeable male character with a strong sense of duty, same main character heroine who always gets the guy yet has no character whatsoever. Same set of supporting characters who are somewhat more interesting and a thousand times more likeable yet will never possibly ever conceivably have a shot with the main guy. Same fucking everything. In fact, the only thing that wasn't the same was that there wasn't a childhood friend as a possible love interest. If its any consolation though, I recall him talking to a possible childhood friend at the beginning of the anime.

Here's what was ok:
-Mizore
Here's what was terrible:
-Everything else

Romantic comedies are supposed to be funny. The only funny things in this anime was at the end of each episode, there was always a message translated as "Let me suck on you next week!," this picture because of how ridiculously dumb it looks + Show Spoiler +
[image loading]
, eventually how terrible it was, and myself for watching such a terrible anime.

Everything is stale. Everything is stiff. Everything is PREDICTABLE PREDICTABLE PREDICTABLE. I thought I wrote the anime I knew so much of it. I was reciting 25% of the characters were saying before they did, and I don't even know how to speak Japanese. Every episode consists of the same damn thing every time.
1. New Character or enemy introduced
2. Stuff
3. 20 second transformation scene after the main fagt gets beat up for awhile
4. Vampire wins.
5. Lather, Rinse, Repeat.

Honestly I don't know how this type of quality is allowed to be aired. This anime was literally so bad it even somehow made the fanservice unappealing to me. My pain can only be expressed through the pain of Luis in this youtube video, however just stretch this across 13 episodes to get a more accurate representation.


[2/10] - AVOID AT ALL COSTS UNLESS YOU LIKE A SENSATION SIMILAR TO THROWING UP PURE STOMACH ACID ONTO YOUR RETINAS.

Unfortunately I'll be reviewing season 2 shortly as I force myself to finish all animes regardless of their quality for some reason unbeknown to myself.

Agreed on all points, Mizore is the only good thing about that anime, everything else sucks.

Main characters with no spine are such a bore to watch

R+V the anime is much worse than the manga one. After watching the first 3 episodes, I dropped it. The manga is so much better.

The utter lack of plot / character development in R+V is disappointing.
Also, as much as I love tits+ass, the excessive fanservice is insulting. Can't take serious moments seriously at all when all they show is boobs and panties. They could have actually made this thoughtful and interesting AND debaucheryisque at the same time with a better plot and deeper characters.

I don't know why I keep watching it though lol
