Impressions

Thanasis

I don’t like putting tags on anime. Yet, as this is one of this season’s slice-of-life anime, I can’t help but wonder how a light comedy about a girl obsessed with dolls and a self-proclaimed run-of-the-mill vampire can have anything to do with life. Yet, this is just the silly premise of another CGDCT story about two girls infatuated with one another who do everyday things like chatting about what’s like to be a vampire and ordering things online and cooking and cleaning. The jokes are mediocre and revolve around a certain theme: Akari is more frightening than the vampire human. There is also a subtle sexual innuendo evident throughout that is going to play a huge role in the anime’s aesthetics.

Give it a try if you are a fan of the genre.
