Delico's Nursery

A scourge has descended upon vampire society in the form of serial murders. The killings appear unrelated at first glance, but every crime scene has one thing in common: a card left behind, bearing the words "True of Vamp"—the name given to the legendary progenitor of all vampires.

The Vlad Agency, a secret intelligence operation, summons the renowned aristocrat Dali Delico to lead the task force investigating the murders. However, Dali refuses, choosing to focus on raising his children. His old colleagues—Gerhard Fra, Henrique Lorca, and Dino Classico—plead with him to balance his duty to the agency with child-rearing. He agrees on one condition: the other three men must also care for their children during the investigation.

Dali's estate therefore becomes a nursery and the base of operations for the four noble vampires. Meanwhile, a criminal organization Dali knows all too well lurks in the shadows with evil intentions that threaten to cause the collapse of the entire vampire society.

I watched it in one sitting and I must say that I loved it. Of course I expected nothing less from a studio like J. C. Staff (yes, I choose what to watch based on the animation studio).
I loved its artistic style, especially with that excellent period setting.
A super original script, with that mix of pride and vulnerability at the same time in the main characters.
On top of that, the characters are super well developed with their ups and downs according to each one's personality and it's great to see how the evolution of each one gradually develops as events happen that affect them.
I hope ... there is a second season. It deserves it.

Lo vi de un tirón y debo decir que me encantó. Claro que no esperaba menos viniendo de un estudio como J. C. Staff (sí, yo elijo qué ver según el estudio de animación).
Su estilo artístico me encantó, más con esa excelente ambientación de época.
Un guion súper original, con esa mezcla de orgullo y vulnerabilidad a la vez de los personajes principales.
Sobre eso, súper bien desarrollados los personajes con sus altos y bajos según la personalidad de cada uno y está genial ver cómo se va desarrollando paulatinamente la evolución de cada uno a medida que pasan sucesos que los afectan.
Espero que haya una segunda temporada. Se la merece.

Mixed Feelings

The art, the worldbuilding and the realistic character personalities are the best qualities of this anime.

the child-rearing aspect felt like the story that wanted to be told and i kind of wish it just stuck to it because the antagonist group story just feels like it was thrown in haphazardly. I find the antagonists to be underdeveloped in comparison to the main characters and even the children, their "evil plot" is so superficial and feels like barely any thought was put into their plan. Main villain had one plan and one theoretical backup plan which he reveals a few episodes before even being close to ... taking action. Both attempts failed and that was that... like dude I sat through 9 episode of this group of vampire detectives struggling to stop them all to find out they were never a threat, c'mon.

also the fact that episodes 12 and 13 are pretty much the same episode with slightly different editing was a pretty irritating. why end on a recap?

(Spanish review below).

I was expecting something else.

The anime presents two very different scenarios: the nursery and the action one. Even though it could have been a good combination, the anime doesn't go into any depth and in the end the mix is ​​a bit chaotic. Personally, I would have preferred to see a lot more of the nursery and the relationship of these parents with their children. That's the reason I started watching the anime in the first place. But, if it had focused more on the action, I would have preferred it to do it well.
The antagonists and Trump didn't interest me in the ... slightest. Like the rest of the plot, they were developed superficially and didn't generate any interest in me. If they hadn't been in the anime, it would have been much better.

I really liked the animation and the drawing style, as well as the little we got to see of the world in which the story is set. That's the only thing I can highlight about the anime.

The characters are quite cliché and don't have any kind of development, except maybe for the children. The problem is that their development is not gradual and is not directly associated with their parents, which would have made more sense and would have strengthened their relationship with them.

I wouldn't say it's exactly bad, but it's far from good. I don't recommend it.

...

Me esperaba otra cosa.

El anime plantea dos escenarios muy diferentes: el de la guardería y el de la acción. A pesar de que pudo haber sido una buena combinación, el anime no profundiza en ninguno y al final la mezcla es un poco caótica. En lo personal, hubiese preferido ver mucho más de la guardería y de la relación de estos padres con sus hijos. Esa es la razón por la que comencé a ver el anime en primer lugar. Pero, en el caso que se hubiese centrado más en la acción, hubiese preferido que lo haga bien.
Los antagonistas y Trump no me interesaron en lo más mínimo. Al igual que el resto de la trama, fueron desarrollados de forma superficial y no me generaron ningún interés. Si no hubiesen estado en el anime, este hubiese sido muchísimo mejor.

La animación y el estilo de dibujo me gustaron muchísimo, al igual que lo poco que llegamos a ver del mundo en el que se situa la historia. Es lo único que puedo destacar del anime.

Los personajes son bastante clichés y no tienen ningún tipo de desarrollo, excepto quizá por los niños. El problema es que el desarrollo de estos no es gradual y no está asociado directamente a sus padres, que hubiese tenido más sentido y hubiese estrechado más su relación con ellos.

No diría que es exactamente malo, pero está muy lejos de ser bueno. No lo recomiendo.
