after just watching the 12th episode I can say that I enjoyed EVERY bit of this show.
the story is cool and different and totally new to me. I've watched a good number of vampire anime and this one is: moe, entirely cute, shojo ai (all girl cast), slice of life with HighSchool girls (and two 300+ year old vampire girls who look like they're in Junior High), and VERY FUNNY! with some SERIOUS yuri ROMCOM, and slapstick comedy moments. there's serious moments (treated with comedy). there's goofy otaku 'inside jokes' since one of the vampire girls is a SERIOUS collector of manga, figures, light novels, anime on disk (as well as just watching broadcast TV shows). plus she's QUITE the savvy online shopper and is fairly-kinda-sorta well adjusted to living in 'the modern era' with technology computers etc. but she's pretty much a kuudere. you've got your dere-dere, ditzy, fashion loving, beautiful vampire girl, who's been asleep for over 100 years now and knows NOTHING about living in modern society. one of the human girls is pretty much normal, except for her pervy fascination with dolls and cute doll-like girls ie both vampires. then there's the pretty, buxom, tomboy, secretly in love with the other human girl, loud, outspoken, and athletic human girl.
the art is very simplistic and not 'photorealistic' at all. it is VERY... well the best way I can describe it is the American term 'cartoony'. if you don't like chibi moments (characters suddenly become super deformed and hyper-cute in appearance) you'll have to grit your teeth and bear with it... because it happens multiple times in every episode. but each character is well designed and has her own 'look' so you won't have to guess very hard (except for the girls that don't get much screen time) who's who by seeing them.
the sound is stupendous. the music is great, the actresses were awesome, the sound effects were great! not a problem at all there!
character, holy cow this show runs the gamut. both ends of the 'moe spectrum' and almost all the points in-between. even though there's no real... overall story arc (it IS from a 4koma manga/4 panels)... each of the 4 main characters does develop and change a little through the 12 episodes. so you won't be blasted with 'nothing but cute' the whole show. if you've got a problem with 'pervy yuri but pure moments' this show REALLY will not be for you.
enjoyment, yep, each episode is funny, heart warming, charming, and entertaining. if you're looking for a light show, watch this one. it'll make you happy and smile and laugh hard many times. :D
