Rosario + Vampire ep. 4
[ Episode 4: A Farewell and Vampire ]
Whoa. Whoa. Whoa! What the hell is this? Is this filler? Hold on now, is filler really needed in a show scheduled for 13 episodes? Bah. Whatever. Overall this episode was a split between funny and boring. As for which one was more dominant, well, let’s just say that Kurumu’s breast-rubbing and True Moka kept me aware and alert. I just didn’t see the point of it even in the sense of it being anime-only. There wasn’t really a point to the episode except to reinforce that Tsukune, at the moment, is useless against even three lame-ass monsters who “united” to form the ultimate fail of a monster.
Anyway, the more important changes this episode brings is the animation for the OP and ED. The OP animation basically throws together the entire harem. Though I’ve been questioning why a certain witch (no, not Yukari) is being implied to be in the harem…. The ED animation is where it’s at. It fits the ED song perfectly and shows some scenes that really should be in the actual show itself, especially the fighting ones. Speaking of which, I found it both odd and interesting how they showed Kurumu, Ruby, and Yukari fighting True Moka. Now it could be just for show but I can’t help but wonder if they would implement such an angle in the story. Well, I hope that it foreshadows the darker aspects of the manga being animated much sooner than they are supposed to be because the fanservice angle isn’t really what R+V is supposed to be about.

Tsukune should stick to having nosebleeds. Insecurities about his manhood are not endearing. In a way he’s no better than those fanboys.
I’m torn. To watch or skip. I’m almost in tears at the meer thought of a filler ep in this already too short series. I guess watching wont kill me… it can’t be worse than Naruto. That show really helped build up my tolerance for stupidity.
Funny. For most people, they seem to have become utterly paranoid about “filler”. Episode four wasn’t bad as far as I was concerned, but I haven’t read the manga yet.
It’s not that there is paranoia about the filler, it’s just that filler is not needed in a 13 episode series which has more than 10 volumes of source material at its use.
Filler in and of itself isn’t bad but if GONZO is going to add filler then it should be good, unlike this. Though that still doesn’t defeat that fact that it wasn’t needed, unless of course they plan on giving the anime an original ending. >_>
Okay fillers suck but on the bright side the ending theme animation was good implying that they would include the Student Police in the series btw the second witch is named Ruby she was the whole destroy all humans for vengence for destroying her kind or something like that kind of person. Also I think the part with inner Moka fighting the other harem girls is simply symbolic like with her tied up in chains at the end. And also what’s the deal with evil version the the catgirl teacher, which I might add is pretty hot
Yea, the ending scenes were pretty well done. Even though the Student Police, the “Ruby” arc, and that one other girl (that has yet to appear) are going to be included, I hope it spans over 13 episodes because the anime might rush it T_T
