Blood Lad! Episode 1! [Review]

This episode was sure funny and fun to watch! “ヽ(´▽｀)ノ”

This episode introduces us to Staz, a vampire that is obsessed with the human world, especially Japan's Anime and Manga. Fuyumi, a human girl accidently wandered into the Demon World and was killed and turned into a ghost. Staz promises to help Fuyumi regain her humanity by bringing her back to life, as it means that he would be able to visit the human world.

Definitely a decent start so far. They stuck to the manga pretty well, which I'm happy about, the pretty much covered chapter one nicely. I've read the manga awhile so might re-read parts of it again to get a bits of a refreshment. Oh the ending was what I expected though. The seiyuus was okay, but the art and everything else were perhaps rather childish? ヽ(；▽；)ノ

I've loved the references this show has! Especially Staz's comment about Final Fantasy, "Wait they're up to THAT many already? That's not FINAL at all"! Also to notice, the Gundam Newtype sound effect when she remembers how she ended up in the demon world. And also seeing the title of the manga he was reading, Dra-gumball! Hilarious! I'm guessing there's going to be a lot more references and parodies to come up in this show! (*≧▽≦)ﾉｼ))

Though, this episode seems quite colorful? I was hoping Blood Lad would be more darker then this, especially when Staz was beating that plant creature. They could have gone for more serious or darker animation. Blood Lad without it's dark element is not Blood Lad. Both the OP and ED where okay. Wish it was getting more than 10 episodes though! Looking forward to Episode 2! (*≧▽≦)ﾉｼ))
