| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well that was a sweet episode with a bit of drama in it. Irina spent days on the isolation chamber but she was able to withstand it. She finally parachutes by herself and is able to land. But that scene where they hold hands while falling from the sky was really sweet. The spacecraft that was carrying the dog crashed however, I hope nothing happens to Irina, and Lev is also on the line, if the experiments fail they will go after him too. |
 |
| Looks like we got some storytelling about 5 months before the story. Experiment dogs were talked about and their current mission also has its risks. Not much comedy nonsense episode. After all that training, Laika is on a serious mission this time with her partner. And it didn't take them long to find a comet. I guess the show is starting to reveal its darker elements. |
 |
| 2 weeks before the space launch, and both Lev and Irina trained separately. Even the USZR has failed expeditions (like the placing of Malty the dog) that has the space rocket called in jeopardy. But whatever it is, the pride of being first is but the only concern of the motherland, whoever (that is Irina) and whatever it takes as impertinent sacrifices to the Nosferatu Project. Irina's short flashback certainly raises a prospect about humans protecting vs. humans disposing beings like Irina. And Lev most certainly heard her cries for help, which brings back Irina's loveable grins. With people like Franz transferring out soon, there's almost no credibility that Irina will come ouf of this alive, and Lev will do everything in his power to train, teach and protect her till the Project is done. While though, I can definitely see the small blushes between both characters that have a common dream of flying into space. The way that the higher-ups have planned for this approach, they'd better have it ready to exterminate all evidence in order to keep mum about secrets outside of the UZSR (just like the Soviet Union, anything must not be divulged), and that is frightening enough. In my heart I'm really praying that Irina will come out alive, because this Nosferatu Project will kill her slowly and gruelling. |
 |
| Poor dog... π’ Irina finally parachuted by herself. π However, the death of that dog will definitely be a new trauma for her. That racist auntie at the first half was another annoying character who has joined the racist brigade of this series. |

| that vampires being burnt was brutal.. legit made me angry not gonna lie.. This episode had some Irina cute moments too but mostly focused on world building and backstory which is nice once in a while Not gonna lie, Irina may have been obedient but she just didn't wanted to acknowledge that they will kill her afterwards the Moon landing thing.. and then seeing the Dog being burnt alive made her realize and traumatized that she will indeed suffer the same fate.. from the PV of next episode.. looks like its not gonna be a good episode for Irina.. |
| That was a pretty nice episode especially with the parachuting scene and dang that flashback tho good thing Lev was there. |
  |
| Great episode! Irina managed to withstand the isolation chamber section of the training. That scene where they held hands in the air and Irina landed was great. It seems Irina also thinks he isn’t a bad human. Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| With Lev back to the program. And Irina close and prepared to be sent to space,and we are halfway of a season still, my guess is Irina come back safely and the rest of the show will be Irina and Lev defecting to UK. |
 |
| I'm terrified for Irina. I think we'll get some sort of bittersweet ending where she might float off into space, but there's not way that regime lets her live peacefully on Earth |

| This anime is really trying it's best to make us feel anxious about the finale :S But I'm all here for it. I love how it hits the right spots and is slowly becoming one of my top favorites this season. Perhaps even AOTS if it sticks the landing...pun intended. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Pretty sweet episode until the end with the orbit crashing on earth. Franz got kicked out of the project and Lev got a place, lucky him. Even though he doesn't like using other people's misfortune, he still got a place. Seems like Irina have to be super lucky to make it out alive. I'm excited to see how this will play out. Will she make it out alive or not? Probably, yes. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| Man, after seeing that cabin crash and that dog that was in it died, I am becoming legit afraid of what fate Irina might meet and the consequences that Lev will have to deal with. But that's really worst case scenario. For now I am really appreciating the wholesome Irina x Lev moments! |
 |
| Tremendous episode. I was curious how they would top the Ice skating scene and I thought the Sky Diving scene was just beautiful! She also said "Lev" while in the room...my heart! |

| The garlic necklace doctor's assistant has slightly raised a spy flag with that talk about getting transferred from the city soon. The other two possible spies are the bully girl and the matron but these two aren't shady at all so I'm writing them off for now. |
| That was pretty good with Irina finally succeeding the parachute jump but that crash at the end killed all the good vibes and obviously choked Irina, I really hope she won't die during the space travel, my heart isn't ready for this... :/ |
 |
| So let me get this straight. Vampires are so weak that whole village of them can't put up a resistance to some human soldiers. Vampires don't need blood to survive, don't have special powers like strenght, teleportation etc. So what makes them different from humans? Just longer fangs, longer ears and dislike for sun? It's not enough to dehumanize them, and why she is even needed as an astronaut if she doesn't have any special powers? I really dislike this approach of removing all vampirism from a vampire but still call it vampire becouse of reasons. This deconstruction of vampire myth by showing how bad, bloodthirsty humands are hunting and killing poor, innocent and harmless vampires is also stupid. Nevertheless, I like this show. It has unique setting in Soviet Russia, it's fun to watch astronaut training and interactions with this cute pseudovampire elfgirl. |
Based_Kaneda said: So my initial guess from the previous episodes were correct, it was a raid-turned genocide on the vampires. I wonder why Irina told Lev she volunteered herself hmmm I think that's way before Irina was recruited by the USZR, so it might have been a different army altogether that burned Irina's village. Really good episode! I like how Lev just continuously praises Irina even though the other cosmonaut candidates are badmouthing her. Irina did a great job withstanding more than 3 days in the isolation chamber, that flashback was brutal, Jesus. But the soundtrack in the show continues to be a banger. The parachute scene was so sweet and wholesome, I love Irina and Lev a lot. Though the construction of the rocket ain't going well, which makes me really worried for Irina. Less than 2 weeks left till launch, really looking forward to the next episode. |

What kind of resistance do you want to see them do? Banzai charge the deadly PPsh & flamethrower? Without any basic discipline training, gun, bayonet, or even katana like the Japanese? Good luck, most of Japanese banzai charge are complete failure against US firepower supremacy anyway. Even the rare successful ones are short lived. But, how about ambush? If these soldier split in teams instead of going alone like in the usual hollywood movies, good luck trying to ambush them with fist or cooking knife. "why she is even needed as an astronaut if she doesn't have any special powers?" 1. If the test flight have minor problem but still managed to successfully return safely, which would be better? Asking the dog about the minor problem in dog language, or asking a non-human species about the minor problem that can talk in human language? 2. If the test flight also fail, at least she is not categorized as a human. Like how the other nation use chimpanzee who are close to human as the test subject. |
| Hmm... launch time is getting closer and closer. I wonder if her flight happens in 2-3 episodes. |
| In real life, the United States' first human spaceflight program was named after the Roman god Mercury, and the first group of astronauts were called the Mercury 7. In their world, the United Kingdom of Arnak's first astronauts are named the Hermes 7 (the Greek equivalent of Mercury). I like how their world plays out similarly to our own. Irina's village and parents were killed in an anti-Vampire pogrom. She looked so happy successfully landing with a parachute. If they keep blowing up their test subjects before they land out of fear other countries will steel their secrets, then it defeats the whole purpose of Project Noseferatu; to test human spaceflight (including the landing) without using a human. |

| Another well done episode. Like the last episode, the slow and gradual growth in the relationship between Irina and Lev is what makes this show so great. In this episode, the separation of the two characters has brought them closer in the end. Also, love these subtle moon imageries too  |
| Man I love this anime so damn much |

Skye12349 said: I expected this fictional show made for entertainment and has vampires in it to be 100% accurate to the history that it's being inspired by. The historical inaccuracies in this episode in particular! The USSR (which is clearly what the show is based on) didn't have flight termination systems. So why did they mention they terminated the flight! This couldn't have happened. smh 0/10 -IGN I was thinking the same thing. I find it very dissapointing if true, but it's such an egregious thing to miss that I'm assuming they must have some sort of source to back it up. Hoping, rather. |
| This was a great episode; the best one yet. The use of music and silhouettes and general imagery in the portrayal of the raid on Irina's family castle was beautiful. And as much as this series also has plenty of laid back and calm moments to catch your breath, I can't hold back the feeling that it's becoming more and more like a political thriller with tensions and all the implications surrounding the future launch ratcheting up. The internal policing and gag order on information leaks is becoming so extreme that they're starting to sabotage the efficacy of parts of their whole program. I wonder how much research will end up aborted or just underutilized because of suffocating paranoia. Visits from the NKVD-esque comissars and military intelligence officers and brass like Lyudimila are ostensible morale boosters but just see the usual lemmings jump up to bleat the party line. No actual value or insight gained from either side except serving the purpose of walling off info between the sectors and making sure everyone is toeing the line. Andrzej2 said: So what makes them different from humans? Just longer fangs, longer ears and dislike for sun? It's not enough to dehumanize them People are dehumanized for far less than that all the time. And historically and depending upon country, culture, and resulting political environment, especially so. |

| Irina might be as well good as dead if Lev wouldn't know about the bomb...damn! hope this is not extreme feels...HOPE NOT! 4/5. |
 |
| THE WAY I SCREAAAMED WHEN IRINA LANDED THAT. LETS GOOOOOO!!! they're definitely gonna kill her or lev. 90% sure of it and im so not ready for that, the 10% is just me being hopeful can we PLEASEE get a cute lil ending where both of them survives and they live happily ever after The End |
| Ahh the intensity, I can feel it. It really is getting harder for Irina by the day because not only she carries all of her past trauma and current burdens, she also got to witness a dead dog. And looking at the chances, she's likely to end up in the same manner, and it's just sad to think about it. I wonder how Lev can plan something ahead so that he could manage to save Irina by the threads of the UZSR. We'll see about it, for now let's enjoy the sweet moments between these two as they are slowly connecting to each other. |
 |
| This shit got so dark. I wasn't expecting it to be honest |
on 
| Irina's such a lovely tsundere, loved her reactions when meeting Lev again after the solitude test and after her succesful landing. The paratute gliding scene was beautiful. That was a disturbing way of showing us her backstory and the last accident was a reminder of her grim situation. I really hope it succeeds. |
 |
| Lev to hide that smile when meeting Irina was so wholesome. Poor dog. The best thing about all of this is that it's Russia, so she might actually end up dying. I'd both hate and love that twist.  |
| Romantic seeing Lev and Irina parachute together, however that happy little time didn't last long after witnessing the morbid sight of the crash...poor dog |
 |
| Things are going so well for both Irina and Lev, until the cold harsh reality hits. Ussr only wants success, they will cover up any failures and dispose of the test subjects to keep their secrets. The massacre of Irina's village is hard to take in, they killed her parents when she was 3 years old. I want Irina to live after this is over. |
| Anime is fun. |
| Irina's past was brutal. The vampires in her village (including her parents) were burned to death and she was made into a disposable test subject for UZSR space projects. Those vampires were awfully stoic as well; they didn't scream or cry out from the effect of the flamethrowers, even when their weakness is supposed to be heat. Not liking Irina's chances in that launch. I don't think her survival will be made a priority over information. Knowing some of the characters in this anime, they might even detonate the rocket out of spite. |
