I was looking forward to this when I saw it’s trailer on Netflix, but I am quite disappointed with the turn out. This will be a short review.
Story:- 2/10
What story? Momo only apparently discovers music from a music box she finds while on a mission and really likes it. Enough to want to leave the home she’s known for years and her Mother? What motive is that? She also decides all of a sudden to go with a vampire when she’s been brought up to hate them. The whole plot is the two running away from both vampires and the military it was a great premise, but the execution was awful. It was a mess.
Art:- 7/10
The one thing that kept me watching was the amazing animation and art that Wit Studio always puts out for their Anime, but that’s the only thing good about this show.
Sound:- 1/10
I can’t recall a single piece of significant music that I found awe-inspiring.
Character:- 2/10
There was not one character I like in this. The human characters I hated, the main characters were boring and there weren’t really any other vampires that got screen time a part from one. The only character I like was Allegro because he was the only interesting character in the whole show with his past relationship with Fine, his hatred towards humans and he had a dog too. A vampire who likes dogs and cares about them is different than them just being used for food; though we didn’t get the dog’s name sadly. The Uncle seemed interesting, but his development was at the end and I really didn’t care anymore. Momo and Fine I could care less about. Momo’s Mother was borderline abusive due to the fact she didn’t understand why her daughter ran away in the first place and continued to have her soldiers hunt her down; even crazy ones who would get her hurt either by accident or on purpose.
Enjoyment and Overall:- 5/10
Even if this review has been fairly negative I enjoyed it quite a bit, but only to a certain extent. And it’s mostly due to everything I wrote above. I give this Anime a 5 because of the lackluster writing in the motivation of the characters, the lack of knowledge of who the characters are and not letting the audience care about these characters enough. You can watch it if you’re a fan of vampires but I advice don’t. It’s a waste of five episodes you can waste on something else.
