4 minutes watching this show and I was already wishing they would kill the fucking mc
Why he doesn't do anything. He is just your average guy. Where is the opinion coming from that the MC is annoying while this is AN INTRODUCTION. They just met for the very first time like wtf do you expect?

And btw for everyone that is not pleased because of the 'fan service,' she is the only character where that is prevalent and also gets shit from other characters later in the show.
My god people can make such bad takes from only an introduction to what the show is more or less vaguely about.

I don't get it, So was he bullied out of school or just confronted and he ran away, this author's girl are always on point but ehhh, I don't know what to think about the MC.


It's called an introduction. Show don't tell kind of thing? Does everything need to be spelt out right away?

if you generally don't like simple mainstream romcom like dress up darling, horimiya, etc then it's understandable, although the difference between this show and those mainstream romcom is that this show has more faster "physical contact" development between the main couple which is pretty refreshing.

I watch all genres and I enjoy romcom in general.
However, this anime felt weird … the MC just walking alone at night afraid of people knowing — apparently his parents— and kept talking about not being able to sleep. The episode didn’t deliver well that he was bullied. Also the vampire appeared randomly— which fine with me— but decided to stick with the MC for some unknown reason.

It was a really long episode.

Hopefully future episodes would be better.
I rarely drop animes so I will stick until the end and see how it goes

Watched the first episode on a lark, expecting it to be boring/generic, and I could just pass on it without thinking about it further.

But the cinematography is pretty neat. I can tell where there's bits of CGI used for certain things, but the night aesthetic is rather pretty. And I'm slightly curious as to where the story's gonna go.

So yeah, see you next episode.

The thing is, he isn't bullied. He is just your average guy that doesn't know what he wants to do with life and finds everyday life to be more and more boring with the day.

He tries to escape this boredom by going out at night because he hasn't experienced that for himself. The thing you perceived as the MC being bullied is just the fact that he is confused why someone loves/likes him while their relation is superficial at best. For most people at that age is enough to express that sort of emotion but for some, like for me, to say something like that has more meaning than most people perceive it as. Thus he gets shit on by the girls because their meaning/concept of this type of emotion differs. That's it, and the rest of the main character's reasons why he acts this way will be explained later in the show. Not rushed nor dragged, just a natural flow of things happening.

The reason why I love this show is that the characters are very direct in the way they feel (in present and past) and the show doesn't drag on and on with dumb bullshit in between. It flows very naturally with each character being introduced and later in the show having more importance/weight for a sub-story that also contributes to the main story between the 2 main characters.

And I want to clarify, this is (at first) just a show about a boy trying to understand what it means to live an actual life and 'love' someone. If that is not a story you find entertaining to watch then you will probably dislike the story of this show.

I saw people talk about him being bullied so I thought the anime didn’t deliver that well. In general it didn’t catch my attention but I hope it will end up being at least 7/10 and not lower

This day I watched a lot of first episodes, 6 to be exact, and I will say that Yofukashi no Uta might hit the hardest for me. It still has to prove something to completely win me over, but this first episode almost made a home run for me.

Introvert be related to our main character, you tell me but what a sigma mindset this man has. Rejecting some girl, treating his parents like a nobody, and going out in the dead of the night, this man has completely shifted from the norm, and Nana just happens to accompany him in this transition.

The animation, the color design, and the way they drew the characters is top notch, I don't need to elaborate since this might drag. Also the OP is hella amazing, very nice composition they did there. Of course the song from Creepy Nuts is the cherry on top, along with that beautiful scene of them flying in the night sky. Something tells me that staying up for this anime will be worth of a time!

ah I think for the vampire girl sticking part is just your usual cheap(i can't say cliche because I think this mcs encounter is not mainstream) boy meets girl romance formula so i didn't see the problem with that (I mean nazuna got caught in the act and if she angry and then attacking ko or blackmailed him then the show will has a different genre, and it's a win-win solution that nazuna will have an easy delicious blood stock and ko become vampire).

As for the ko reasoning about going out at night, he just doesn't want to be bothered by school environment that makes him has a headache or trouble so he is going out at night as an escapism. Honestly I think he just in a rebellious phase and the school environment didn't interest him so the night environment is a place that he can truly fit in and be himself. The anime skip a bit his school background, actually what he means by doing well at school (because it's not specific) are he is good at studies and get along well with his classmates(not to the point he has best friend at least from the chapter of what i have read) but all of that doesn't makes him interested and be himself.

I think some people can relate for ko reasoning but with a different settings, situations, (it can be for the adult work environment just for the example) and of course age (I'm sure that kind of stress will relate for the high schoolers to adult people more then middle schoolers). I think the reason why the author using 14 yrs old boy as mc are just because he wants to expand the market in japan(shonen) and I'm sure he is inspired by the yofukashi not uta ED theme song which has 14 yrs old sentence mentioned in the lyrics(you can find it, there's sub in the yofukashi no uta MV). Even Gigguk called out this age problem in his manga review videos.

So yeah while premise is not perfect, it still good enough because people can relate to it about the good feeling of wandering around at night.

Nazuna's VA killed it. one of my favorite VA performances in a while.
BG art is also on point. for the most part loving the direction/ production.
huge fan of the manga. see some complaining about MC. i think he comes off a little awkwardly to begin with but gets better quickly.

a heads up though that first 40-50 chapters of the manga are kinda lowkey nazuna and kou wandering around at night meeting people/vampires. kinda slice-of-life-y stuff while they develop characters, then after that manga switches to more action and plot driven stuff. no clue how far they'll get in the fiirst season. but probably be a bit of a slow burn for the first season unless they cut a bunch of stuff.

Pretty catchy opening. Opening visuals are pretty nice though. The manner of their first meeting was pretty fun especially Nazuna's words. Her explanation on why Ko didn't turn was pretty amusing. But Ko's motivation for wanting to become a vamp sure was surprising. Overall an excellent opening ep that did well to introduce the two main leads as well as showcase the chemistry that their unique personalities have the possibility of creating. Curious where this goes but so far an interesting tale.

Man what do I gotta do to get a Kawaii Vampire Gf who’s willing to trap me in her apartment in order to feast on my blood?

This is probably the most hyped I have ever been for an Anime in a while. This series has such an aesthetic that really appeals to the inner night owl that lurks within all of us. Top quality animation so far. OP didn’t really blow me away but the ED is definitely S tier.

Looking forward to the next episode!

Oh yes, some good fucking food.

Director really loves his vampires huh, lmao. They were only talking the whole episode, but it went by in a blink of an eye, Monogatari vibes. Goes to show how important directing is in a show, it keeps you engaged.

Shit, I should just watch this show at like 3am or something, for the immersion. Love Ko and Nazuna already. Soundtrack is a straight up banger to, not to mention the OP and ED. Really can't wait for the next episode.

I definitely wanna do the same, I ended up watching it after dark last night, lights off and everything, it just felt perfect! Now I can't imagine watching it in the morning (for me) when it actually airs.

Truly, the food was delicious~




We can always go somewhere again.

I hope this does not turn into a Romance between a 14 Year Old and a Vampire.
Even though Romance is the theme.
Suddenly wanting to be a Vampire for no real reason was weird.

smart move that they put that neck-biting scene into the preview because if i knew how dull the rest of it looked i wouldn't have touched it. the combination of the hip-hop and the absolutely barren landscape along with the janky, choppy animation is off-putting, and i don't know how, but they somehow made the large, open "free" night seem frustratingly claustrophobic. maybe i'll check out the manga but i have no interest in watching this further.

EDIT: just checked out the first three chapters of the manga -- it's def het romance so i'm not touching it outright but if you by any chance have the same oddly claustrophobic feeling from the anime, the manga is much better. not sure why the anime made it as rigid.

Very promising start, for a while I have been waiting to start the manga, but haven't, still after checking the manga I gotta say how colorful and well-directed this episode was, got me positively surprised.

This is shaping to be a really awesome anime, with an unique vibe, but I will probably go for the manga rather soon, rather than wait weekly|

Lol it's funny how embarrassed she gets about talking about love, it's cute.

I felt bad for Yamori, he doesn't understand love but gets treated like the bad guy because he was honest about his own feelings and I can see why from his perspective why he might not like girls but I am sure he'll open up because of Nanakusa.

I can't believe they got Koyasu Takehito and his son to voice those two drunk characters, I thought I was hearing things when I heard his voice but in the credits it's really him lol. I wonder if they'll be recurring characters or if it was just a one off.

Not sure if anyone else noticed but on the elevator ride up to her room, she doesn't have a reflection in the mirror. that's when I knew she is a vampira
