Despite the bad score I gave this show, I don't think it's completely irredeemable. I actually really enjoyed some episodes individually, but as an overall experience though from start to finish I'm not sure I can recommend it.
The first thing we see in episode 1 is a gothic castle, shrouded in mist that really sets a creepy, atmospheric tone that I found pretty enchanting. By the 3rd episode the tone completely shifts and we're getting cutesy arguments between the tsundere main vampire girl, Hazuki, and Kouhei, her unlikely rescuer. It's actually hard to believe it's even the same show at that point, and the

Moon Phase promised to be a good series and was able to deliver in some ways however this series is clearly not for everyone. My reviews aren't really spoilers so much as the context of the content you should expect.
There is a storyline and it's reasonably interesting however this series is ultimately dominated by the conflicting emotions of the two main characters. The first two episodes will draw you in and depending on your tastes will either be the best thing since sliced bread or a disappointment. I enjoyed the art and it was definitely above average in my opinion. There were no cheap budget gimmicks ... Apr 4, 2015
Sometimes anime really does get on my nerves hard. Anime can take an old concept and add in a few twist which gives it an original feel. In addition, provide a pretty good story for a brief period. Then just completely ruin the whole damn fuckin' thing robbing it of almost all value. Moon Phase so falls into this category to the point where I can run into my corner and cry.
I'll begin with the features that immediately grabbed my attention: the animation and artwork. Visually, Moon Phase is outstanding. It displays a great deal of color combinations with a dark and gothic setting. The ... Dec 23, 2024
Tsukuyomi moon phase is a very interesting concept unfortunately... a concept that didn't end up great in my taste... it's like seeing a pretty cupcake, but the cupcake is a bit dry... the main characters are very annoying to me, always nagging at each other each episode. (mosty) the plot feels slow and the supporting characters feel "eh"
Even though the anime sucks, the soundtrack on the other hand is really good so if anything definitely give it a listen to. At the end of all this, it's not a bad anime to have in the background to watch while doing something else, so that's what I'm ... |
