What a grueling premiere episode about humans hunting vampires and vice versa in an never-ending war, and no doubt this is Wit Studio delivering again in the production, but I'm hoping to see how this goes, hopefully it's better than Bubble.

The daughter of a commander in an industrial democratic military known as the Warms, Momo's life is orchestrated by orders from above with her friend Mirena, and there's Fine, the vampire queen whom wants to party, and does what you would expect of a queen with her aide Allegrp.

The tragic tale of a girl whom wants to escape her life bound by a music box's tune, her friend being KIA'ed by a fellow vampire on drugs, and Fine whom offers her a one-way ticket out of this war-torn mess...what would become of the relationship between the two?

A depressing, but good start.

A pretty decent start for the first episode. The premise is very similar to many vampire stories we've seen before. There's a war going on between Humans and Vampires and it's just as expected to see who's at the higher position in their world. There's one rebel in the human world, Momo and then there's one in the Vampire world, Fine who I think are the main characters of the show. Both want to stay away from all this crap. Fine doesn't drink the blood of humans like the other vampires. That music box is focused quite a lot. Interesting.

Vampires die because of those lights on the towers and humans defend those towers. The art style is cool. But, the soundtrack is great. As of the first episode, nothing that blows my mind. Will see how this goes from here on out. RIP Mirena and many vampire bros.

Vampire vs human is nothing new.I think they are trying to make it emotional type of anime.Let's see if this works or not as I'm already trying to predict the ending.
Overrall ok episode.

The premise is normal, and if you know that vampires are weak to light, why launch an operation at night? Feel kinda dumb.

The whole episode I felt that an orphan would appear screaming with some kinda power in his hands.

Really depressing start with really good scenery, I'm holding my expectations lower after seeing Bubble, anime and netflix don't mix well most of the time.

Well after the garbage second half of Bubble look like WIT might have a masterclass on their hand?? Loved this first episode. Fine and Momo are really interesting. I’m invested.

The designs remind me a lot of boruto, was the character designer involved?

I wished that they would have spent more time establishing character motivation for Momo. I understand that Fine's motivation is probably intended as a mystery. But Momo? What made her push against her mother? Why was sure she so attached to some random music box that she randomly found? Sure no one could be satisfied with living in a state of constant war, but she was pulled away from the frontlines.

For now I think it has a good start, except for the main girl, Momo. She remembered me of how annoying was Lisa of Zankyou no Terror to me, I ended up loving that series (including Lisa), hope Vampire in the Garden Goes that way too.

kinda feels like a 90s show. something about the animation and "setting"

also feels a lot like the movie Equilibrium. to prevent world war 4 (after world war 3), they mandate the public stop "feeling". they take daily drugs to remove their "emotions". they ban music, art, literature, etc., as they all elicit "feelings"

this is honestly interesting. a little...odd? but interesting. we'll see how it goes

7/10 to start

That was a pretty nice opening episode, set the scene and it's setting well and was wonderfully directed. Can already tell that this would have been better as a one or two cour length series.

For those who don't know, I'll inform you that this is a lesbian anime, aka lgbt, so I highly recommend not watching it, apart from its naive and lesbian nature. The MC named Momo here really doesn't appreciate his adoptive parents who raised him from a young age and because they are also the MC named Momo, they are still life is undeniable, the plot of armor for this lesbian character exceeds Reiner from attack on Titan, which should have died in 5 episodes in several episodes but he is still alive, it's really a bad anime because the lgbt themed side character story is more interesting, but in the end we are a little relieved because the partner the lesbian aka the dead female vampire

Very trite vampire story but the animation was great enough that I didn't got too bored.

Now this Momo girl better have some saphic explanations to why she decided to follow the vampire lady, can't blame her, though.

This episode does everything a first episode should do, it hooks you right away with action and questions about the characters, develops the world in a solid way that justifies what the characters are doing and why they are doing it without necessarily explaining everything, and makes sure you are left with enough questions that you want to continue watching. Even if the whole show goes south after this episode, this is probably one of the strongest starts to an anime I have seen in ages, even among the big hitters of the last two seasons.

Really awesome first episode. We have old concept of humans fighting against vampires, but enriched enough to feel fresh and for sure to not feel generic.

Beautiful visuals and music made the whole experience even better. Can't wait to see next episodes. I'll definitely continue watching it.

Looks like a really long and bloody battle has been going on between humans and the vampires.

Pretty sure there will be some kinda reveal later on in the series that the vampires weren't always that violent or weren't in the wrong here. They did say that the Warms started the war and all. But as of now, both of them are participating in the war and killing each other with no remorse.

Looks like Lady Fine, the vampire queen was in love with a human girl. Kinda confused about her blood intake. Do vamps in this story usually need blood for survival? Or is it not necessary at all?

The Commander is harsh but at the end of the day, she's a troubled woman with heavy responsibilities and she still strives to provide the best to her daughter. Still didn't expect her to go about shooting her own daughter.

Also, I'm not sure but were Momo and Mirena in love? They did say that they wanted to grow old together.

I noticed that Fine joined the attack and actively fought but she never really killed any human. She was only knocking them out and disarming them.

This is animated by WIT and it sure looks damn good. WIT doesn't miss with their animation.

Pretty good start.. and I actually understand why she's like that but I'm really uncomfortable seeing how Momo is behaving. In the midst of the chaos, how could she decide to run away with that music box instead of joining her mother? Lucky for her to meet Fine, if not? Either she will be killed by any vampire she meets or freeze to death..

post-apocalyptic future

Vampires reborn and create chaos

Well, simple story, bordering on absurd, with poor animation. It will depend on how it evolves to know if it is good or not! kekeke

This kinda grabbed my attention? I've been into vampire stuff lately, but I've always been a mythology and folklore person. I originally was really excited to check it out, and I had it just sitting there in my watching list for the longest time. I only recently read reviews of the anime and I was somewhat concerned due to the number of negative reviews. But I'm gonna give this until episode 3 (as I usually do) until I really judge it.

In the beginning of the episode I thought it was meh, but that changed when they showed the vampire side. Fine is interesting. I wonder if she will take Momo and try to live in a secluded place away from the war.
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you!
