If you've watched anime before, you've definitely seen a story like this. About a rebellious girl choosing something else over what the general norm is. You definitely consider her annoying depending on your stance on dystopian worlds. But as a character she wasn't that bad.

The other characters in the story besides the main tool had fair motives but nothing too deeply covered. So many aspects of it were surface level so they didn't go too deep in areas. However, doing this as a series and not as a movie really helps convey more.

They were decent elements about it, a very likable twist here and there. Nothing over the top, just a good watch. If you've never seen a similar story before, it may hold some ground for you or even evoke emotions. It has a wonderful animation here and there a good fight here and there, and some very decent dialogue.

The composing was fair enough, nothing that blew me away particularly but it never felt as if it was contrary to the scene. The use of music as a cultural tool was very good and the world that was built was a very reasonable one. Nothing necessarily felt out of place, motives were based on solid ideas, there were no shock value deaths.

What I do think is the best part of the series is its tone. From the first minute to the last, it quickly fleshed out itself as to what it was trying to portray. And as it went along it continued that philosophy.

It doesn't go down the what's good and what's evil route but it does implore a bit of a trolley effect with a few parts but the tone that was set from the beginning held throughout.

Nonetheless, whether I think it's worth a watch doesn't really matter. But if you or someone else considers this is something to give of you, you won't be disappointed. Maybe not entirely satisfied depending on what you're looking for, but you won't feel as if this piece of work was just trope after trope.

It also did well to set up what a vampire society would be like, with a similar vampire hierarchy as to what we have. Everyone the main characters come in contact with have their own little motivations, whether it be running a hotel, sustainability, care for their family, vengeance whatever it was it felt real. It did not insist on itself. Trying to seem deeper than it was. It set up a story, put out a conundrum and had its characters go along.

Side note, the music that was played in the series, each song or ballad was played in its native language which I found very pleasing. So the exploration of music which is a big part of this series in its own way, did not feel as if it was a second thought. I really liked; and I said it before, how they went about the aspect of culture and how it was ruined/ taken from the humans even though it was initially taught and as time went along things got misunderstood.

This is my first review so I may have repeated myself quite a lot. But overall I think it's a fair show and if you feel like giving it a chance you should, hopefully I'll have better structure to any future review that I may have.
