This is my immediate response to the story after just finishing it a few minutes ago. While it was a nice read, the last quarter wastes time on drama that end ups not being that important anyways. Plus, it ends up sidelining many better potential side plots like why the other factions developed the reason behind their beliefs.

SPOILERS START!!!!!

For example, it is possible for us as reader to guess leads one of the faction beliefs by seeing what happens to lotus who risk being burned to death just to be bring your parent to school day due to developing a strong bond with ... contractor. And even after being at the edge of life and just barely surviving due to being built different, Lotus immediately is thinking about after all this pain he still want to be there for their next conference even if it is during the day even though he isn't required to do so. If you look at the burn marks they kinda look like one of the faction leaders scar but due to lotus being special he can gain his original appearance while other vampires are seemingly left scarred.

SPOILER END!!!

Since this is about a relationship between a Vampire and a Human naturally the ending will be bittersweet. Even then, I feel like the author just ended the story rather than give a proper conclusion. Most likely it either needed two more page or double the chapters.

I am mostly manga only so that heavily affects how I feel about the pacing of the movie. It is very slow compared to the manga but according to other reviews the pacing is in line with the TV series so I should probably avoid it. Nice OP though.

The animation was nice sometime but other times you could feel the budget. For instance, when the went to the town center they didn't even bother to animate it they just showed still images. CG could be very obvious as it was a close up during some of the scenes in the city. The animation for the ... later part of the movie was up to what I expected and I didn't see any noticeable hiccups. The fight scenes were nice but felt very empty. I would say it comparison to the Manga's Yor's body guard on the ship of assassin arc had much better fighting scenes that made more sense then using lipstick to cause a explosion somehow.

The story was plodding with many subplots that don't really make sense. For example, Yor thinks Loids may think of dumping her but in reality he just happened to have ran into a woman at the same time Yor was waling with her workmates as they spoke about signs of cheating. Obviously, he invited her and bought her lipstick because she explicitly said her current set was causing an allergic reaction. Furthermore, also it took forever to get the actual conflict as many scenes were filled with pointless extended events. It was funny sometimes but not enough for the lengths.

The movie as they say is Mid.
