ENJOYED, easy to watch AND HELD MY ATTENTION ! WATCHED REALLY QUICKLY DIDNT realise how quick I watched it. But it also was a 12 ep and that showed lol

Some spoilers throughout

PROS: guren and mika are so pretty, the UNIFORMS ARE SO PRETTY. I loved how by the end it really showed how both sides are bad because how they just testing on yu without telling him? And I liked the last line of the last ep that both yu and mika wanna save each other but both sides aren’t really the best. Even tho obvs would rather be with the humans. I like the purple girl I loved her character a lot ! Though I hope she’s not just reduced into love interest and they say more about her background later and how she was strong before she met yu. I also thought the animation was pretty too, I thought it was newer than 2015. Minus jujustu kaisen I don’t think I’m the right person to judge fighting animation LOL I thought it did the job and was fun

CONS ; I mentioned how I liked the drama around the testing on yu but because that was only mentioned twice in dialogue and then yu woke up from it on the last episode there was no anger about how they decided to experiment in him? But I guess that should be season 2 stuff. the background was weird sometimes not really matching the characters ? I also thought it was weird that we never saw them actually training to fight and they had no other experience fighting vampires? They all just were able to fight Noble vampires which were so much stronger than them? Also I guess because it was only 12 eps but I wanna hear more about mika, guren and purple one. Especially because they’re talking like they’re part of big boy powerful families I wanna know MORE. IDK if this is a pro or con but yu reminds me of season 1 eren? Wanting to just be strong and fight and all main characterish. Though unlike season 1 eren, yu didn’t have any phase when he failed or lost? He just constantly won. So I hope yu grows more and moral conflict n that. The music was ok, not bops to add to my playlist. I did love the piano tune on the last episode. Character design was okay I thought the girls were pretty and nobles on both sides but everyone else was eh? (Minus guren and mika)

Surprisingly I liked yu, when I usually have main character hate syndrome and he literally falls into typical too strong for no reason without training main character trope lol.
Gonna watch the second season, I hope there’s more character development because there was literally NONE here.
I said I enjoyed it but I have a whole CHUNK of cons. I also think I’m easy to please with animes so that’s probably why LOL. The brown haired kid reminded me of season 1 armin at the beginning.
