>>594To quote myself:
very very annoyed with the pacing in rosario vampire
first two events which should be considered major arcs take place in the protag's first year at the school (10 volumes) but then the entire rest of the manga takes place in the second year (14 volumes), including the big finale arc which is like 6 volumes
just feels like it was very poorly paced in a very obvious way. first arc should have been longer and ended with the end of the first year. second should have been longer and ended with the end of the second year. introduce more friendly monsters along the way even in enemy of the week chapters so when the students of the school "chip in" during the final conflict, it doesn't feel like BS, since like 90% of the students we saw were straight up evil. etc
the art is GREAT, the character designs are GREAT, and the fight scenes are pretty damn good. but man the PACING.
Also Mizore is incredibly sexo and the relationship between her and Kurumu was surprisingly great.
Not sure if I'll ever bother watching the anime again. For context I originally saw the anime like 14 years ago as a little burgeoning wap and had heard that the manga was way better for AGES before finally reading it, which only heightened the disappointment.
