I Just wanna make this a quick but informative review that just basically gives you an outline of how the anime is, so bare with me.

Basically the story revolves around vanitas (obviously), one day a vampire was born under the blue moon which considered by all vampires as a curse and they named him vanitas, he was scorned and feared by his own kind and banished him from their village, in legends it's been said that vanitas created a cursed grimoire "the book of vanitas" to seek retribution upon all vampires of the crimson moon.

The anime gives the characters a pretty edgy but smooth look that ties well with the background, the plot doesn't move to fast nor to slow, which lets us atleast understand what's going on, I very much like the plot as it shows the characters emotions very well in the environment their currently in. The anime also includes steampunk tropes with flying airships, robots, etc', I don't really see them too fitting with the anime, but with the dark atmosphere it's trying to give it does seem seamless.

Now to explain more into some of the animes plot

Through understanding episode 1 it seems that "the book of vanitas" is being targeted by the vampires of the crimson moon, the fear is that the "book of vanitas" is creating the current issue "curse bearers" a state in where a vampire can longer Suppress their thirst for blood and become gruesome creatures, reports of vampires have been going rampant in Paris, The vampires not wanting to wage war assigned Jeanne and Luca on tracking and destroying the book of vanitas, and this is how it went.

First we were introduced to noé who was requested by his teacher to investigate the book of vanitas, later though noé gets confused to what his teacher meant by "investigate the book of vanitas" and has now joined vanitas.

Second we were introduced to Jeanne and Luca who came to destroy the book of vanitas because of its curse bearing powers, but apparently because of vanitas' flirty move he manages to not get killed and kept the book safe, but being the idiot that he is Jeanne has taken a liking him a little bit (season 2 will elaborate on this).

Third now we're introduced to red hair (never liked the guy never will) who apparently knows the power the cursed grimoire holds, he's a chill dude but is very much the Atmosphere of a villain

To the others I did not mention I did not purposefully do it I just forgot their names and their kind insignificant to the current plot of season 1.
