Story: What I immediately found interesting was the setting, the 60's in the totally-not-Soviet Union aka UZSR. Oh and it's about a space race. With a vampire. It sounds absurd but in reality the execution is well done. It has more of a serious tone at times; it makes a point to emphasize the inequality and how poorly vampires are treated. This is balanced out by our main duo: Irina the vampire and Lev who's in charge of training her for space. Their dynamic lightens the mood and it's very sweet. Another impressive part is the scope of the story, it's not just about Irina and Lev. An example would be a cabinet meeting involving the officials of the UZSR which contributes to the sense of urgency and distrust in the country. Tsuki to Laika to Nosferatu also rewards people who know the history of the space race due to the details it impressively manages to squeeze in. As for individual elements: I thought the comedy is good but not a focus and while there is fan service every now and then it's not extreme and jarring. 8/10.
Art: Probably what holds back Tsuki to Laika to Nosferatu the most is that it doesn't have insane production values. That being said there is some impressive, colorful, and well animated scenes. I also enjoyed some of the backgrounds which can be simple but pleasing to look at. I thought the storyboard and directing was good and at the very least it uses interesting angles throughout episodes. There were times when I felt the animation struggled to keep up with the ambition but rarely. The CGI used was pretty good as well. I am quite a fan of the character designs too. 7/10.
Sound: I think the voice acting has been good but have yet to notice a standout performance. I feel like the OST and insert songs were well thought out as they fit scenes perfectly. I don't have much of an opinion on the OP or ED. 7/10.
Character: While not completely one tone, Irina and Lev individually aren't all that interesting. There's room for growth but I don't see the characters becoming very unique or intriguing by the end. I wouldn't call them bland because they do have their own motivations and backstory. How they interact together is the more enjoyable part. The show strays away from giving other characters depth or much screen time as well. 7/10.
Enjoyment: I think Tsuki to Laika to Nosferatu can attract different groups of people: whether you love a Cold War era setting or want to see the main duo's sweet moments and development. I enjoyed both of these and every episode left me wanting more. I'm not sure if it has a high rewatch value yet but if it continues with the quality so far I can see it becoming a very solid, memorable series. 8/10.
