Darling in the Franx was a good first episode, though I can't shake the impression the main heroine is intended as an elaborate reference to Lum from Urusei Yatsura.

Aside from all that, a Murcielago anime would do a lot to fill the Black Lagoon shaped hole in my heart that Jormungand filled for a bit.

I was just saying that I thought the first episode was okay, but I'll probably need a couple more episodes to see if it's something I wanna stick with.

when the Killing Bites designer decided that only guys who transform get their heads changed into beast heads whereas girls just get the animal ears they lost all credibility

show isn't terrible but it isn't great either :(

if i give this the 3 episode test i at least hope the main girl wears something different to fight in!

Is it based on a tabletop like Lodoss War, or is the tabletop just merchandising for the anime?

It's hard to get into Killing Bites when the protag is introduced as the driver for a rape van. I don't normally get up in arms about that sort of issue, but here it just makes the whole enterprise feel sleazy.

The former, since it's the same writer as Lodoss.

Going by the writeup on ANN, he was tricked into it and the heroine kills the attempted rapists. Still feels sleazy, especially for a fanservice-heavy show.

I'm unreasonably annoyed that the mummy from the mummy show was specifically located and sent from Egypt, but housed in a coffin with a big cross on it rather than a sarcophagus, or even just a coffin with an ankh instead.

This is correct, and the point was to double-down on showing just how much his life as a spineless wet noodle was about to change. Like how he didn't really know about his "friends", and how he's completely ill-equipped to deal with this new superhuman fightclub situation.

it's a lovely bit to the show but is ditched almost immediately so i think the remainder of the show's trash will remain in the busty/naked ladies fighting camp

So I guess Killing Bites fails to take itself seriously enough to become the next Cross Ange? Too bad, the discussion surrounding CA was epic.

I didn't finish a cour of cross ange but in that it had a festival ep, burger dog, and plenty of other intentionally goofy stuff. It wasn't great but it also wasn't unflaggingly humorless or anything.
