Her attempt to use Akatsuki as a tool to demolish Vatler and the peace accords between his nation and Aldegyr ultimately fails (cue Vatler’s disappointment at not having to do anything), but not before the mind controlled Akatsuki engages in a smooth-talking exhibition that almost results in a threesome. however, and his triumphant rescue of a damsel in distress leaves him under the control of our new terrorist friend in Trine Halden. The fun and games only go so far when it comes to Akatsuki and Co. It wouldn’t be unusual for a Progenitor to have multiple mistresses.”

“Even if she were (a mistress), I wouldn’t have a problem with it. The fact that every one seems generally fine with the current state of affairs made it even funnier, and it’s hard to imagine his feelings when La Folia ultimately lets loose the biggest of bomb shells:

His off-hand comment about “sinking teeth into women” was especially hilarious in this regard, and it was great to see both the reactions of all the women Akatsuki sank his teeth in, and Rihavein’s realization that everyone is already aware of Akatsuki’s tendency to take a bite out of those near him. I’d say he got a lot more than he bargained for when it was all said and done though, and his priceless reactions generally ended up the comedic highlights of both episodes.

Okay, so that’s only technically half true-having a brief winter break does wonders for free time-but I ain’t complaining.Įither way, things start off with an opening that highlights some of Akatsuki’s more… racy moments with our main cast, and it’s a fitting selection of scenes given the secondary motives of Rihavein’s visit.

Thankfully, the OVA’s two episodes deliver in classic Strike the Blood fashion, and we all know what that means: new enemies, big trouble, and epic beat downs starting with the words “No, this is OUR fight, Senpai.”Īnd so here goes for another chapter in a series that drastically exceeded expectations on its initial run, and you know it’s good when it’s gotten me out of the woodwork to blog a series for the first time in months.

The fact that it’s actually La Folia’s father bringing up the rear only makes things better- how about that Viking helmet?-and this was an OVA that set the bar high from the get go. When it’s thirty seconds in and La Folia comes busting into the scene asking for help, you know it’s going to be fun times.
