Story 2/10:
As the show first opens, we are shown the main protagonist, Taito. He has immortality due to his childhood friend-who-is-also-a-vampire. That's pretty much the basis of it and doesn't go much further than that. The show has no whole plot. There I said it. Throughout the entire show I honestly had no idea of: what the heck was going on, who the enemy was, or if the main characters were actually going to get together officially or not. The show tries to pick up many different genres like romance, fantasy, action, harem, supernatural, and high school and it is poorly executed. It started off strong with the idea of giving this boy powers that were not as common (only have seven lives until perma-death), and the fact that a vampire girl with some strange pink-blue gradient hair was giving it to him (I feel that the fact that she was a vampire was long forgotten by the second episode). There's no main plot, but rather small mini stories throughout, that don't make a coherent story.
Art 7/10:
The art in Itsuka Tenma is probably the only decent redeeming quality of the show. It's very atmospheric and can clearly portray the supernatural and mystical settings. It uses bold colors for common items, like changing the night sky and moon to bright pinks and purples, or even making the trees red and black. The female characters all had a unique gradient hair style which I found rather appealing. The male character designs are rather common, with features like extremely spiky hair and school uniforms.
Sound 5/10:
Not much to really say here. The voice actors are fine as is the music. Nothing really irked me overall.
Character 1/10:
Welcome to where the show really falls flat. I don't really want to go into much detail, because if I do that I'll end up talking about it forever. There is not much more to the characters that can be described in a sentence, "He wants to be strong to protect the girl he loves.", "She's lonely, but she has him and he will help her.", "He hates his brother and wants to defeat him.", and "She likes soda and to have fun". Any other character is there purely to fill up the roster. The romance scenes are no more than the protagonists saying each other's names over and over and over again.
Overall 3/10
