I'm sure there's going to a new season coming soon (as evident near the end), so I'll be keeping a loose eye on this one. Overall, this series does a fair job of keeping you intrigued and watching more.

Which is a shame cause it would be nice to understand a bit more about her. This wasn't really played out or explored. Some of the elements of the series gets lost however, such as Himea being a vampire. And it does a decent attempt at having a supporting cast that does make the series enjoyable. It ends up being more of a love story with two characters (protagonist & supporting role), flushed out for the most part. However, it surprised me a bit as I sat and watched a few more episodes. So I figured this would probably be a dull one with stereotypical characters, a mini harem somewhere and a love-triangle that really doesn't go anywhere. But somehow it ends up being anti climatic (again, the first episode), and really didn't do much for me. The opening episode almost draws you into the quickly executing sequence. think Kajiura again and enjoyable to listen to. One of the EDs was a cute girly piece with vocals that sounded like it was coming from a little girl. The OP was an upbeat and quick alternative piece with deep female vocals. Alot of it reminded me of something from Yuki Kajiura, dramatic, unworldly and epic. The soundtrack was a better part of this series. This was noticeable between the 'spell breaker brothers' vs Gekkou, or Taito's little sister vs Haruka, etc. where the appearance look too much alike except for maybe a different hair color or one extra bang or two. A few of the character designs suffered from the 'me-too' syndrome. the one thing I didn't care for were some of the character designs. It does miss a few frames here and there. Colors were sorta rich and animation wasn't too bad. Most the time and overall, it was pretty decent. And the results? Art, Animation & Character DesignsĪrtwork had it's moments. After throwing caution to the wind, I decided to go for it. This is due to the semi-weak synopsis, of which is a big determination for me in considering a series to pick up and watch. Here's a series that I was skeptical on for a while before I finally decided to pick it up.
