I wanted to like this anime. Unfortunately, I found it to be one of the most boring anime's I've ever watched. Quick summary:
1. There is no plot. Which means there's no story.
2. The character designs are unappealing:
- Main male protagonist looks like one of those mushrooms from Super Mario games.
- The other main guy (gangster dude) looks like a creepy 40 year old, even though he's 16.
- The female protagonist is an unintelligent, melodramatic, one dimensional character.
4. The show attempted to be funny at times, unfortunately, the humor is really childish, and reminds me of the humor used in children
...
shows, aged 5-10.
If you think Sponge Bob is an exciting and fun show, then you may like this show too.
If not, I suggest you save your time and skip this one.

My review includes a spoiler which could help you determine whether or not you'd want to watch this entire show (including season two). Here's a questionnaire to help you decide if you might want to read the spoiler or not:
1. Do you enjoy romance anime's that feels dark, sad, and heavy throughout the entire show?
2. Do you enjoy anime's that have very controversial themes, such as pedophilia?
If you answered no to both of these questions, I would suggest you continue to read major spoiler, so that you can save your time and move onto a better anime.
**Major spoiler starts here**
...
This anime is basically a vampire themed love-story, where several characters have to deal with their own dark past. The show leans towards the dark and heavy side, so if you wanted a good-feeling/comedic romance comedy, this show isn't for you. Instead, this show might give you the bad feels.
But that's not why I gave this show 2 stars. I gave this show a low rating, because after having watched almost the entire show, we learn towards the end that the two protagonists who fall in love, are basically biological siblings.
I'm not so keen on watching a love story between a brother and a sister, especially if you only find out about their biological relationship towards the end (I felt like the show scammed me).
In the show, they try to explain that the brother's soul died, and that the siblings' great, great, great, grandfathers soul was inserted into the brothers body instead, so "technically, it's not direct incest between siblings, but rather, the girl fell in love with her biological brother whose soul belongs to her triple grandfather". I don't know about you, but that sounds even more disgusting to me.
So there you go. If you still want to watch a bad-feeling, vampire themed-loved story, between a brother and a sister, this show is perfect for you.

Save yourself and don't watch this anime.
Any show whose main plot revolves around a bunch of guys attempting to make a girl pretty, I believe is doomed to fail. I cannot think of a more superficial or shallow plot than this. Can you?
The people who gave this show more than 5 stars, must be the same people who helped the Kardashians rise to fame. I just cannot see how else this show received over 7 stars.
Main flaws:
1. The female protagonist is annoying. But her "high pitch screeching" voice is even more annoying. I had to skip every part where she screamed over petty things, because
...
that screeching sound was that unbearable. I wonder what the animation studio was thinking here?
2. I like pretty boys (typical anime style too), but in this show, the boys look like girls (lipgloss, makeup and all). I could not help but feel that they were all flamboyant gay men. Not that I have anything against gay people at all, but in this show, they're supposed to be straight. And while outliers exists (straight, flamboyant men who wear make-up), it was just ridiculous that all 4 of the men had to be this exact same way.
3. As mentioned earlier, the plot is really awful. I knew this before watching, but thought they could save it somehow, with interesting characters and a unique approach. I was wrong. The show is filled with cliche's and one dimensional characters. There really is no depth to any of the characters, which makes you care less about what happens to them.
*Spoilers ahead*
4. The guys bully, harass and pester the girl into transforming (from "ugly" to pretty), from the moment she moves in with them, just so they can live rent-free. In what world is this okay, fiction or not?
5. A good portion of the 3 episodes I watched was about showing off how "handsome" the guys were, and girls fawning over them everywhere they went. It would've been okay if it happened once, in the 3 episodes we watched, just to set the tone as to how attractive they were.
But they over-did it here, which was a waste of time, because they could've spent that time on character development.
6. The most important aspect of good romance anime, is the relationship between the potential "lovers". Developing good chemistry between the characters, and allowing a natural build-up of momentum where they gradually fall in love, through a (emotionally) logical sequence of events, is what makes a story captivating.
Because that's how the story becomes believable, and how you as a viewer become emotionally invested in their relationship.
But in this anime, development of any kind is sort of thrown in your face, and given very little time to unfold and develop, before the show jumps to the next thing.
In other words, the pacing is quite lacking in this anime. In fact, the way the anime told the story felt a bit like this:
"and then she moved in, and then the guys immediately pestered her, and then they tried hard to transform her, and now they're at school, and wow - every girl is in love with the handsome guys, but now everyone is back home, and the guys are going to give it another try to transform the girl. But oh no, she's still resisting, so the guys will keep trying for a few more episodes, and then "boom", suddenly there's illogical character development. The girl is now transformed, and not only does she look different, she even behaves differently, and then and then and then".
7. The fact that the main female protagonist fell in love with the main male protagonist so early in the show, and over something as superficial as his "handsome looks", and then proceeds to refer to him as "creation of god", made me lose any respect I may have had for her.
There's something desirable (from a female perspective) of a male courting a female, who is a little bit hesitant at first, but then eventually gives in. But when the girl worships the guy she likes, and shows such desperation/thirst for him in the way she did, she becomes less respectable, and instead becomes pathetic. The main protagonist may have contributed to this show getting 1 star from me.
Maybe the show gets better past the 3 episodes, but I have a feeling it doesn't.
