What Is It?
The 2022 Japanese original net animation (ONA) anime TV show Vampire In The Garden (Season 1).
This is how Netflix describes this anime TV show:
A vampire queen and a human girl join forces against all odds in search of “paradise” — a place where humans and vampires peacefully coexist.
Starring: Megumi Han, Yu Kobayashi, Chiaki Kobayashi
My Thoughts
My brother GC and I watched this anime yesterday after seeing a trailer for it after Netflix recommended it to us.
This was basically a movie that they split into 5 short episodes, in our opinion.
The animation looked good, it had style, it had mood, et cetera, but it lacked basic details and explanations of the world & lore, which was frustrating, and hurt this anime in our opinion.
This anime felt like a drawn out, it was short but felt longer than it was, romance or romance-like story with some action, and a unique vampire motif(?).
Unfortunately, they focused too much on the romance-like stuff, and skipped the important details; which made the romance-like stuff feel empty, and left us with many unanswered questions.
This anime had more potential, so it was somewhat disappointing, it could be fixed if they were to add those important details, and release a new edit of the show.
Honestly, I think that they should make those adjustments, and release it as a movie; which is what it felt like already.
I would rate it a 3 – 3.5 out of 5, and I do think that it is worth seeing once.
The end,
