This was honestly amazing, enough to say that I watched it all in 2 days, except for the last episode, which for me doesnt happen often.
The story follows Lev and Irina, Lev a human who dreams of going to space, and Irina, a vampire who also dreams of going to space. They both will do just about anything to achieve that dream. Irina is going to be the first “person” in space, putting Russia in the lead. She will set the example for the humans who will come after her, and Lev is going to prepare her to do just that.
Characters
The characters for me were amazing, although I think just about every character is amazing. Sure they were your normal characters that you see in just about every anime, but Lev, Irina and the rest just felt a bit different. They were very well expressed and a lot of the stuff that you expected to happen, didn't. Like you know normally… a girl falls and somehow the dude moves at the speed of light and catches her…and they're instantly in love? Well at least in my opinion that didn't happen at all here, which was quite surprising. So I would say that there was definitely effort put into them, to make them different from your normal character, but they didnt over-do it, which was good.
Story
I liked the story quite a lot, the concept was really interesting and they did a job making it “come to life”. Space has always been quite an interesting thing for me, and I’ve always loved learning about it, so maybe I’m a bit biased. So while I would say there were some aspects they could have improved it was overall good. I was definitely expecting it to feel very rushed at the end, but luckily that didnt happen, and they did a good job keeping the pace of everything. I honestly especially liked the underlying romance, because while it wasnt a major theme, it was definitely there. And as the story progressed you could definitely see it playing a more prominent role but still not taking over the whole show which I thought was pretty nice.
Music and Animation
The animation wasnt anything too special. I was definitely hoping for more since like its space and all. So I mean it didnt really ruin anything, but it wouldve been better if they had better animation. The music on the hand was definitely pretty good. The ED was amazing and definitely fit the anime. The OP was pretty good too, although it didnt compare to the ED. And the regular music was pretty good too and for the most part they did a good job matching it with whatever was happening.
Overall
Overall I liked it alot, and its definitely one of my favorites and I hope the manga and LNs whenever I read them turn out to be just as good. While it could have had improvements I feel like it still matched what I was expecting which wasnt that low of standards. So I would say that a story like this was definitely worth my time and I have no regret of watching it.
