i have mixed feelings about this anime...the animation is top-notch however, the story despite its attempt to offer a unique idea about vampire coexistence is nothing new and since its only 12 episodes lacks substance. Though there are some plot twist here and there and the political side of the series is somewhat interesting i find the series quite difficult to really engage in. perhaps the reason why the plot is a bit hazzy is because they're trying to squeeze in a lot of things but didn't really quite get there!

The first ep. leaves you with a LARGE foundation as it's basically an information debate. However after the foundation has been laid out in ep 1 the structure is placed in ep 3 and 4, a story that unravels further and further. I have to say that I do enjoy an anime with supernatural in it, so I am kinda obliged to say its Awesome! Only fault that i find with it is that they could have been a little more elaborate with their graphics, I can't say why, otherwise I'd spoil it :)
Its not a bad series, the art level is quite good but the animation isn't there as much. The story is interesting but they don't delve into it at the level the manga does, which if you read then the whole little vampire queen really makes a lot of sense and gets interesting. I watched it and liked it enough that I decided to check out the manga of it so I'd give it a shot if your looking to watch something.
