Art: 10- The art was one of my favorite parts of the series. I thought it was very beautifully done and different from many of the animes I have watched. The colors were very vivid and reflected each of the vampires personalities. The animation was very good as well. From an artist standpoint, this series was not lacking in beautiful drawn characters or detailed scenery. However it was one of the only well done components in this series.
Sound: 7- The music went with each scene but it did not give it an extra enhancement, I believe it could have been utilized better to make some of the scenes more effective.
Characters: 6- The story centers around Yui, an overly optimistic girl (especially for someone in her position) who tries to see the best in everyone and in every situation. I really wished her character would have been more dynamic than it was and that the viewers would have learned more than was given about WHY she had to stay with the vampires in the first place. I had also wished that she would have put up more of a fight, making her character more realistic. The vampires were depicted as cruel and sadistic and very very hungry. I liked the fact that they did not make them overly lovable but were shown as more of a predator and a danger to Yui.
Enjoyment: 7- The series was a little bit disappointing, and the hopes I had going into the series were not quite met.
Overall: 6- The series was lacking in some areas and could have been improved. However the art was notable and I liked how the writer approached the vampires as not perfect gentlemen, just waiting to fall in love with some silly girl , but dark like their nature. As a whole the series was not a complete failure but I am not sure it would be one of my top recommended animes.
