Rosario Vampire Capu2

So what did you think of Rosario Vampire Capu2 EP1?
The animation can be dodgy at times but I liked the last season and will be watching this one too.
Is it my imagination or is that damn bat appearing more than before? And why are they censoring only some panchira shots?

Mizuki Nana-sans voice is so yummy.
The ED was brilliant - love the animation on the girls - check it out below.

censorship is lame. I haven't watched it yet because I don't think any subbed version is out. I think Gonzo has discovered the formula. Censorship + TV Airing = Money when uncensored DVDs release.

The ED has a slight idolmaster feel to it... same animation process for the bits with the robot dreams scenes in first Clannad? Kinda partially cellshaded or something?

Is there a way to describe the kind of animation used for the robot bits in Clannad? It looks smoother and cleaner...

I liked the first episode (subbed), good thing I got the full version. It made my night/early morning go right. I like this series too much to give up after only that abrupt end. Hey I can't wait till next week.

One of the seasons that I have been looking forward to. The first season was awesome. I am the kind of person that really doesn't mind excessive fanservice and this is the kind of series that does not disappoint. Action scenes and the contrasting personalities of Moka are also something I love.

The only thing irritating about the first season was the constant battle timings read out by the bat. Great premise of the season, introducing Moka's sister. Can't wait for more!

well i know the only thing to expect from R+V capu 2 is the fanservice and so far it was really good. Lots of pantus as well. The only thing I didnt like much is how terrified, and i mean TERRIFIED, moka seems to be toward her little sister. It was funny at first but it gets boring at the ending where the over emphasized it a couple of times.

I have to say that after trying to get into season 1, I'm not that interested in season 2. I find all the quirks I loved from the manga missing. While I do like seeing an animated version of Moka's "true" self I'll still pick the manga hands down.
