Not much fanservice in this episode. I’ll continue to follow the series just in case anything unexpected happens, but unless there’s a censored scene or something equally eyebrow raising, this will be the last episode I’ll cover.
For most of the first four episodes, story was the front and center focus of this anime, with fanservice both sparing and downplayed.
After surprising us with faintly visible nipples in episode two, Strike the Blood has so far opted to avoid additional nudity on blu-ray through the first four volumes.
This is good work by ARMS. The pacing is just right, and the story is more than enough to keep the audience engaged. Every episode that I watch, I immediately want to jump right into the next when it’s over.
Those scientist girls sure like to bathe together.
Right now, I’m looking for signs from Dragonar Academy. Blank boobs aren’t always a bad sign, unless there are a ton of them.
The storytelling for this series so far is well above average, despite more than a few ham-handed, corny moments.
It wasn’t long ago that I asked on this blog how cool it would be if a production company had the balls to make an entire episode feel like a fanservice special. Well, Hoods Entertainment does exactly that, this episode is almost wall to wall fap material, and makes no real effort to create pretense.
Still nothing terribly interesting in this show, though there is a chance the BD extras could end up being a different story. Mostly, this is a show for cleavage fanatics. The action is decent too by the standards of today, at least for a super low-budget show like this.
The screenshot above is the only noteworthy redraw from volume five, and as a whole both episodes nine and ten have less fanservice than usual, instead focusing on moe elements and story.
