| It all comes down to the pivotal rein of Momo and Fine vs. their own brethren, and is a fight to the death for all involved. This paradise freedom isn't anywhere to be found, and neither will the war be, and the only way out is for them to seclude themselves in a place where they can be themselves. The symbolism of the white flowers resembling a garden as Fine's deathbed, cementing her plan of a freedom of a world where both vampires and humans can coexist, put to rest. As for Momo, she'll live her own life away from the world, carrying Fine's burden onto their own paradise. This 5-episode series is definitely better after watching the "mid" movie that is Bubble, I'm genuinely surprised (and not) that this 2-hour-long-plus show truly delivered. |

Mfundroid said: I agree with that, glad WIT Studio didn't make the mistake like they doin BUBBLE last month.How the hell did a 5 episode miniseries deliver that much? I would've loved two more episodes to help boost other characters and pacing but I thought this was an 8/10 miniseries. So much better than Bubble. Good job WIT Studio. |
 |
| It was such a boring 5 episode series, with bad-written characters. I think, tihs was the 1st time when i was bored while i was watching a WIT anime. Animation and Music was top tier, as always. 6/10. |
| RE:ZERO !!!!!!!!!! |
| I am not exactly sure how to feel about this anime. In my opinion it's one of the best things Wit has put together aesthetically. Nishio's awesome designs, great setting and background design, good photography work, great animation and music. Overall well directed miniseries when it comes to those aspects. Beautifully crafted. On other hand the story was underdeveloped and it didn't manage to make me feel attached to characters, nor did I find them likeable all that much. Especially Momo, whom I often found quite annoying. The relationship between Momo and Fine felt half-baked as well. That said, I still found the anime interesting and engaging and I think it was a good effort but I feel it would've benefited tremendously from longer run-time that would allow more space for fleshing out the beautiful world and locations, characters, their relationships and motivations. |

idk why I was here but I'm prob back to playing Hunt: Showdown 1896 again when you read this |
| I enjoyed this short series but I wish the girls would have ended together as a couple and get the happy end they deserved. ): |
| I think this story could've been better if done as a full adaptation of 12 or something episodes, 5 episodes weren't enough for me to be attached to any of the characters. I get what every character was looking for or going through. Fine and Momo were both looking for a place they can live together but there was none. RIP Fine. Overall, I don't know what to feel about this show. The premise was alright but again not much different from any of the vampire shows I've seen before. There was nothing in the story aside from them running away and looking for a place to stay all the time which they couldn't find. Eh... The only thing I'll remember about this show is its soundtrack. Really amazing job by Yoshihiro Ike. In short, it lacked substance. |

| Although this anime was goury asf but this felt like one of those classic fairy tales plus at the end this gave me some Romeo and Juliet vibe. Forbidden love story with tragic ending. This was a tragedy from start to finish. If you guys enjoyed this anime I highly recommend everyone to check out Wolf's Rain. It's very similar to this one. ( 9/10 ) |

| With that scene at the end and everything, what I get is, everyone should go to a warmer place. Momo is happy because she gone to somewhere warmer. Seeing that is WIT, I wonder if there is a world out there, with successful strongholds but no one talk about it, because they made people think cold and less daylight hours are good. |
 |
| I got to say that my prediction of them ending up together was wrong but I quite rather enjoyed this mini series for what it was and in some way, Fine and Momo found their 'Paradise' just not with each other. 8/10 for me.  |

| Really annoyed because Fine and Momo deserved to be happy together and the entire world just refused to allow it. I would have been 100 percent ok with some type of asspull that would have kept Fine alive. Like I thought, the uncle didn’t like killing vampires because he was in love with one in the past, another tragic love story. He was also really adamant about vampires being violent because of his experience. He needed Fine to fail to make him feel better about his fiancé succumbing to bloodlust. Overall definitely a big improvement over Bubble(story wise) to me. I became very emotionally invested in Fine and Momo’s journey and feel real life sadness about how it ended. Good job WIT. |
 |
| I loved it. Visually beautiful, although there were parts that I felt needed expansion, and the ending was semi predictable. This really needed my episodes though, there was so much that was missing. Momo and Fine were fascinating to watch, there was a chemistry that left me rooting for them, and hoping against hope that they would find happiness. It was really worth the time I spent watching it. |
| May the Uguu be with you. |
| It was amazing, wish it had a happy ending |

| These lead characters were so damn infuriating. Story was full of holes and I'm wondering what even the point of it all was. If this was a normal 12 episode series, I surely would've dropped it 2 episodes in. |

| very sad anime but bittersweet too so the old lover of Fine named Arya looks like Momo eh and she died and after that Fine is living like a dead person already until she met Momo rest in peace Fine you fail to create the paradise you and Momo wanted but Momo in the end made that paradise happen like being a Mother of a Mixed Race vampire-human baby its funny that i see this kind of solution in anime stories about coexistence of different fighting races and that is mixed race babies or next generation of woke kids will be the hope for coexistence in the future will the mixed race of human and vampire become DayWalker like Blade i wonder  |
Zerity said: I will never understand which part of this story made you feel cringe lol. Btw after watching whole series you still couldn't figure out why Finna and Momo desided to find a place where Human and Vampire can co-exist ? or something else ? Momo does find a Eden of her own though you should check out the end cridit.@ZXEAN i get that, for me the more i watched the worst it got, couldnt get behind the cringe story and drama with such bland and annoying characters also with the ending trying to figure out wtf was the point of all of this. |
| @ZXEAN nah i get they were looking for a place to be together but couldnt find it which is okay and momo finds a place to live at the end with a baby vampire but like where is it and why feels like the whole story was for nothing. The drama I found cringe was with the paradise and the vampire girl was trying to kill her but her friend and that whole episode the last ep as well with just everything that happened, another issue for me was everything was rushed af |
Zerity said: Forbidden love story with tragic ending is a very popular concept I have seen countless movies centred around this topic and this was one of them. This anime took heavy inspection from Romeo and Juliet which starts and ends in similar manner.@ZXEAN nah i get they were looking for a place to be together but couldnt find it which is okay and momo finds a place to live at the end with a baby vampire but like where is it and why feels like the whole story was for nothing.

| @ZXEAN it is a popular concept but its not done well in this series, was to short to make me feel connected or care for their relationship together, especially since i dont already like them. the whole series is similar to romeo and juilet i even made a comment abt that (not on this forum tho) but it was not done well at all. |
Zerity said: I just made this point to make you realise that the story does make scence wheather it's execution is bad or not it up to you to desided.

| of course the lesbian vampire died what do I even expect just echoing what others have said...should have been longer. the conflict, worldbuilding, characters & relationships were underdeveloped. Didn't hate it but it could've been a lot better Moral of the story don't take your pug with you to a war zone |

| Great first episode, everything else either happened or developed too quickly for me to care all too much about events that took place. Production wise, it was very aesthetic. About the supposed yuri, I mean, if halfhearted (it would be a stretch to even call it that) affection (almost feels like Stockholm syndrome, even if Momo wasn't taken against her will) between a woman and a slightly effeminate man, that resulted in no romantic development is your idea of a lesbian relationship, then I suppose it was lol... No. Even most CGDCT have better yuri undertones lmao... 5/10 all up. I don't think I liked any character in this series, which is pretty rare. |

Momo is a young woman...not a dude. lol It is definitely YURI |
| I quite liked this mini series, the art style was really good, reminds me of Naruto Shippuden so i guess the person making the character designs is the same lol. In 5 episodes it managed to do a lot but yet still felt like it lacked quite a lot of character development (not on Momo's or Fine's side) and also plot development, it felt weird that Momo struggled so much in 5 episodes to get to a fake Eden but then at the end they show her living in what she envisioned with Fine which is nice to see but its like showing me the begining and then the end of the story. I do get that it could have flopped in terms of how engaging it is without the relationship between Fine and Momo, but it kinda feels a little too much like a "feel good" ending. Momo left by herself, if they had a lilttle powerpoint presenation of her finding people while the credits play it would have been a more deserved ending. Also the uncle character was vastly underdeveloped holy shit, i know i mentioned that the characters where not developed but that one has to be the one who got the most fucked over, he got a couple of flashbacks but only of the same thing over and over again, unlike Fine who you got to see how her previous relationship started, the middle and how it ended. Still it was a breath of fresh air. 7/10 |
| 5 episodes? Is that It? Kinda disappointed, but anyways it's Netflix what did i expect. Another thing, this story trope has been played down a lot. Please it's time to stop it a bit. Honestly one thing I loved about it was the animation, other than that nothing stood out. Next time, let's tell that samuarai's story, it looks more interesting than this one. 5/10 |

How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb --- Dr Strangelove  |
| The plot was so much worse than I expected, but it did have a B movie sort of charm to it. What was that setting? Humanity has been pushed back to a cultureless dystopia guarded by a wall of light. Except for all the humanity that hasn't. And also the vampires don't seem to be hunting humanity at all. In fact, they come across as hunted and oppressed somehow? By the walled city's military I guess? But that's okay, instantly leave your trauma and child murder and sheltered upbringing behind for a fun girls road trip down the block from barely explained vampire monarchy to evils of commerce town where the vampires are also mad pyros for some reason. Or keep going to your standard fake paradise. Here they've solved the problem by sacrificing a few vampires for electricity! What, electricity wasn't even the problem? The human city had tons and the problem was the whole bloodlust thing? You didn't address blood supply at all even though its scarcity was the entire last plot? Cool. Very cool. |
| at the end, where she walked into the snow at subarctic temperatures barely dressed she should have frozen to death with her waifu That would be a perfect ending |
