Call of the Night

9.3/10 Absolutely stunning animation, characters, and opening. The ED is also very nice. The story is fresh and interesting; I'm not the bingeing type at all, yet I was able to for this. Nazuna (love interest) is amazing and Ko (the protag) is a great pair for her. My only real issues with the show are clichés. It falls into a few of them (one notable is a huge age gap which I don't care for). But again, it manages to stay fresh and stands out as itself. The colors are beautiful, and they really put effort into the background. Now, for the plot. Very entertaining, easy enough to follow, yet not too simplistic. I'm actually interested in the world building and wish to see more of the series. In short, I am truly happy with this show.

This is like a moving painting I really like the art on this anime. It doesn't have a dull moment especially when Nazuna Nanakusa is around she's very funny with her teasing and reactions. They are also slowly introducing other characters to make things more interesting which is very nice. Ko Yamori is the type of kids who is seeking adventure who wants to reach out to someone and spend time with them. Very nice anime, again amazing artwork.

Not a big fan of romantic comedy, but this one is a gem. Well written, well developed characters,. The story is decent, it has a funky vibe. Love the music, even if I don't understand the lyrics. Ko a 14 years boy mid schooler suffering from insomnia, decides to walk the streets at night, where he meets Nazuna, a young adult girl that later turns to be a vampire. Ko bored of the same every day existence, decides to become a vampire, and enjoy the freedom of the night. In order for Ko to become a vampire, he has to fall in love with Nazuna but don't know how. And so the story begins. Will recommend to anyone who likes anime no matter the genre preference.

I heard this anime was one of the summer surprises and decided to give it a go once it finished airing because I'm more of a binge person. Did not go into it with great expectations but ended up being pleasantly surprised.

The first few episodes start a bit slow, more of a get to know the two main characters, but if you pass them (and I recommend a little patience) it becomes pleasantly surprising. I've found the animation quite beautiful, and each new character introduced has an interesting story and background. I really hope for a season two just to see where this goes, it has lots of potential and was better than I expected, definitely a recommend.

Overall I'd say it's a 8-9, subjective of course, but i want to support a second season so I'll hit that 10 star.

The show excels in its moody, neon-lit visuals, perfectly capturing the allure of nighttime and the freedom it represents.

One of the strongest aspects is the soundtrack-even though I don't speak Japanese, the music adds so much to the show's dreamy, hypnotic vibe. The OP and ED are particularly catchy, and the background tracks enhance the emotional and action-packed moments.

Ko's aimless personality might frustrate some viewers, though his growth (or lack thereof) is part of the story's charm. Nazuna, meanwhile, is a fun and unpredictable lead, but I wish we got more backstory on her and the vampire lore.

It leaves enough unanswered questions to make me hopeful for a Season 2-here's hoping we get one!
