''With all our blood and pride, let's show that we can achieve both duty and child-rearing!"- A tale of noblesse oblige childcare struggles by vampire aristocrats. (source- h!anime) As the aforementioned statement suggest, the anime depicts a story of vampire nobility trying to balance their duty with child rearing. This fantasy anime is a tale of vampires who strives to protect their kin and world alike from the fierce anti-organization called the 'pendulum'. The narrative focuses on four major vampire nobles who are the members of blood pact council - Dali Delico, Gerhard Fra, Henrique Lorca and Dino Classico.
Delico's Nursery (2024) is a culmination of the gothic, mystery, action and comic genre where the audience is drawn towards the enigma of vampires, amazed by the breathtaking beauty of the art of the anime, rejuvenated by the action of the major protagonists and fall in love with the endearing children and their adorable antics. Out of all the characters in the story, Dali Delico's charm hits different, might be the effect of the main lead but this vampire's qualities are enchanting where at one point you laugh at his jest and actions. However, on the other hand, the more you get to know about his life, there is a realization that "there's more than meets the eye" which pulls the story together throughout the end of the plot. The other major characters- Gerhard, Henrique, and Dino have their own backstories and different sets of beliefs which at the beginning of the plot appear to oppose with Dali's conviction-''With all our blood and pride, let's show that we can achieve both duty and child-rearing!". Nevertheless, as the story progresses, the four vampire friends come to terms with the circumstances and arrive at an agreement that is actively working together to protect the legacy of the 'TRUMP' and simultaneously looking after their children.
Delico's Nursery is recommended for the audience yearning for intriguing vampire stories, gothic fiction and with a positive aspect that you get to see adorable children. According to me, the most appealing part of the story is the breathtaking art, the fascinating music which goes very well with the plot and the portrayal of characters. The characters are written in a way that the viewers will be compelled to deliberate on their actions and motives behind their next move as each of them have their own set of ideals about the world and are dangerously mysterious vampires.
P.s- This anime contains some bewitching creatures so beware not to be swayed by them.
