Preliminary Spoiler
Aug 31, 2008
This series is for those who prefer their vampires to be cute as kittens more often than they are dark and brooding. The mood of the series, like Hazuki's personalities, tend to alternate between the two, although it generally works better when emphasizing the moe aspects, which it does a lot. That said, people with an aversion to cat-eared girls and little-sister types are advised to stay far away.


The plot tends to switch between stretches of seriousness and levity: the first two episodes deal with Hazuki meeting Kohei and escaping the castle, then settling into a silly daily routine before dealing with more villains a ...

Tsukuyomi -MOON PHASE- is about a photographer who takes pictures of ghosts for a living. Kouhei the protagonist then encounters a vampire, whom tries to force him to become her slave.
______________________________________________________________

Story: The story is quite simple, but isn't your typical romantic comedy anime. It focuses on the relationship between a human and a vampire, which can become pretty interesting if it can deliver it well. Every anime has its villain, and the bad guys really make the story interesting.
______________________________________________________________

Art: The art isn't the best, and it doesn't appeal to the audience. The majority of the anime consists of dark colours, and in some ...

Story - 10 - The story is about a human who love a vampire. A world ful of action, comedy, adventure and love. The story revolves around hazuki and kouhei in romantic comedy way, the people who protect hazuki and the world that they choose for being with each other..
Art - 10 - I can say that the anime was really realistic and the fact that the images changes in the story plot. It was really good and I really like the animation..
Sound - 10 - Oh boy, the music in this anime was really good.. I like the theme song that they are ...

To be honest the reason I decided to write this review was because everyone was mainly putting down all the bad stuff about this anime instead of keeping a open mind about it. When I first looked at this I thought "oh probably another fan service type of anime", but I completely misjudged it. In fact the most fan service it had were the neko ears.

Story: I can't say the story was outstanding, because if it was I wouldn't be craving for more. In fact I would be quite satisfied with the ending results. I'm not saying it was bad or that it left ...

I had originally been introduced to "Tsukuyomi ~Moon Phase~" when I was still using GaiaOnline and was pleasantly surprised at the combination of humor and supernatural elements. In this day and age where we have so many serious vampire series, it's good to see one that doesn't take itself too seriously.

This series can move slow at times, and the near-constant arguments between Kouhei and Hazuki can be annoying from time to time. I enjoyed the latter half of the series immensely, but it took me forever to get through the first half because of these.

In the end, I found it to be a ...

Story:I really enjoyed Tsukuyomi "Moon Phase" I watched when I was younger,so I didn't understand the whole concept of moe all I knew was that It had my two favorite things Vampires and Cats,even now I still enjoy it and I've watched a lot of animes and it is still one of my favorites.I also enjoyed the opening,most of the time I tend not to like cutesy songs that repeat over and over but when I first saw it I fell in love with the song I also like the little details that change in very opening and the things that fall on the characters ...

I really enjoyed this series. It is one of the few I have actually watched twice.

The thing about this series is that it is almost more interesting as a survey of the Japanese Occult than for the story itself.

The story is about Kohei Morioka who is a photographer for hire. He investigates a castle in Germany but while there, becomes ensnared with Hazuki, a young vampiress. She bites him and tries to make Kohei her slave, but something goes wrong with her magic and she cannot control him, a fact that enfuriates her. In fact, he takes pity on her and ...

This anime left me a little nonplussed. Animation isn't in general as good as I expect from Shaft, and the show is peculiarly fetish-y. As well, I'm heavily reminded of _Bakemonogatari_ and _Kure-nai_ - and not necessarily in a good way. (I wish I remembered why I decided to watch it.) The episode where they drive to the confrontation with Count Kinkel was visually beautiful & stylish, comparing well with other series like _Tatami Galaxy_. But the story... I was right in my first comment, it's basically _Kure-nai_ with vampires - cute high-class purple-eyed loli who battens onto good-hearted nebbish with special ability who will ...

Tsukuyomi Moonphase is about a psychic photographer who capture picture of ghost and two personality vampire.

Story: The series is about vampires, it clearly depicted the capabilities, nature and weaknesses of a vampire. The story seems to have 2 part first is the spoiled Hazuki and the second is the kind Hazuki. The romance is not that really good, but the comedy really works for me. The plot seems is interesting which was delivered well with the various encounters with the other kind of vampire.

Art: The best in its year of its release, but not with the present. Yet the color theme is dark and ...

Being a fan of vampires and the gothic all my life I had to check this anime out when I heard about it, and while it is far from a classic, it’s an enjoyable romp of an adventure for sure.

Moon Phase is at its heart an adventure/romance/comedic anime and it mostly works very well in all its fields and while the series may look light and fluffy on its surface (And most of the time it is quite light) it holds some dark settings and events which will surprise you.

The central story is engaging enough and develops well at the start, yet as it progresses ...

Preliminary (1/25 eps)
Enjoyable enough to warrant a watch, but be warned around episode 13 or so it slows down. It slows down far enough that I almost dropped the series. Any way now the review.

Art: I enjoyed the colour scheme and how the creator animated everything. I have a softness for animes with moe loli's. Not much really to say about the art besides it was visually appealing, although at certain times I felt that the way it was logged made it look sideways but I'm not completely sure about that.

Story: story starts out with a fairly captivating plot. First 3 episodes drew me in ...

Preliminary (22/25 eps)
Boy meets strange vampire girl with lots of enemies.... thats about all there is to it. Its difficult to know whether to lilke Hazuki (the main female character) or not. She moves between precious, vulnerable, cute, annoying and sweet so many times in an episode that you really feel sorry for Kouheii (the main male character). The supporting characters are what makes this interesting, there are quite a few and each adds their own bit of spice to what is a reasonably predictable anime.

I enjoyed the anime more than the manga, I felt the anime made a bit more sense and was fleshed out better. ...

At first look, Tsukuyomi appears to be a loli type anime. If you thought this...well you would be incredibly wrong on so many levels.

story: (spoiler free) The story is based on a young photographer named Kouhei who happens to see a beautiful girl on a haunted castle...he later finds out she is a vampire who wants to escape her castle and be free..

art: fantastic. I loved the character designs. A few problems with the noses occasionally.

sound: not bad, but nothing memorable outside the opening song.

character: Really great. Kouhei and Hazuki grow so much over the story. Side characters are interesting as well.

enjoyment: I really enjoyed ...

Preliminary (14/25 eps)
This anime shows the good side of the vampires.Hazuki does ordinary vampire things like - walking out only in when it's dark,drinking blood sometimes etc. ,but she is also kind and very kawaii.In some of the episodes the anime looks looks just as the many animes with a cute loli, but the thing that;s best in this anime is the great mixture between action and drama/loli and cuteness .

For me, this show should have gotten much higher scores than I gave it. The first two episodes absolutely blew me away, and I couldn’t wait to continue the series. Then I hit episode three, and the show changed so quickly I felt like I had gotten slapped across the face. Tension of a romance brewing between a 14 year old girl and a grown man became the major focus. Normally in anime the girl looks mature enough that her age is basically forgotten, but Hazuki cannot ever seem anything but a little kid. It irritates me every time I see it.

Though it is a ...
