Un vampiro en el jardín

Storyline had so much potential but it was so short. It felt like a movie that is just seperated to 5 episodes. The characters had so much things to discover about themselves and for the audience we left with so many questions. Production team works really well about showing the relationship between Fine and Momo. Last scenes of them made me feel so many things and it was great. Graphics are good and I want more of this series. Reminded me lot of things of my past.

The series has a sweet story and takes a different approach to the vampire-human subject. Although the anime has a sweet story, it also has a dark side. It's nice to watch the character development of Fine and Momo and it's fun to watch the friendship between them. Learning about the backgrounds of the characters as the episodes progress makes the story even more complementary. It's nice that the anime uses music and dance as a unifier. In addition to all of them, the drawing techniques are also beautiful and sweet. If you want to watch a short and sweet anime, I recommend you to watch Vampire in the Garden.

+ Gorgeous animation and design.

+ Fascinating world which will make you want to learn about it more.

+ Interesting characters who will make you want to know them better.

+ Classical vampires.

+ Zero fan service. Very few anime tropes. It almost feels like a Studio Ghibli movie.

• At only five episodes, it is just way too short. It is more like a movie broken up into 5 episodes. All other problems are due to this.

• Lots of unanswered questions about the lore.

• We barely scratch the surface of said fascinating world.

• Not nearly enough time given to characters to understand them.

• The conclusion of the story feels abrupt and pointless.

This Netflix Original is more like a 2 hour movie than a series. I binged it and it's amazing. Vampire in the Garden has the same Romeo and Juliet type plot (a bit similar to Bubble which came out 2 weeks ago on Netflix), but this time it's done RIGHT. Instead of a romance, it has a beautiful friendship between it's main characters. Yes, it's unoriginal and predictable, but it's executed brilliantly and provides a sad yet satisfying experience.

The 2 main characters were great and their endurance and friendship throughout the series earned my respect. It is definitely sad with a grim, divided world full of war, but it's never dull or boring. Like many great animes, it does a great job at showing some dramatic and painful imagery. I loved the action and the animation. I found the backstories of all characters intriguing (in fact I'd like to see a prequel). And while it's predictable, it still manages to produce some tear-jerking scenes.

Overall this was really really really great and one of the best shows I've seen in a while. It's unoriginal, yes but it has it's own characters, visual style, and I enjoyed the experience.

There was no possibility I could dislike vampire lesbian love story. And I did like it.

Vampires and Humans fight with one another. And a vampire and a human fall in love with each other. Both fractions wanna separate them "for their own good". There is absolutely no way the story of the story ending with happily ever after.

Both protagonists are cool and trully commited to the relationship they have. They are willing to do whatever it takes to be together.

(It has this USSR aestetic but thanksfully they didn't go deep into it bec the Russian in this anime is horrible).
