I really enjoy the idea and plot of the show, but it's too slow a burn for me. After pressing on for more episodes, I've had to drop it because watching it feels like a chore.

The first few episodes are great, but on the whole, the series felt too rushed and there was very limited emotional and relationship development which was very disappointing given it's potential.

I would say this is 'fun trash'. You'll have to look over all it's flaws: badly paced, little character development, plot and character inconsistencies, poor atmosphere building, failing to set up tantilising mysteries with satisfying pay offs, pointless fan service. Behind all of that is a fun idea, a large cast, some mystery and some gore.

The twist was pretty obvious early on, the characters were bland and unlikeable, and the relationships between the two main characters was uncomfortable. The pacing was slow and honestly it was pretty boring. I'm certain that someone will like this anime - just not me. The opening was pretty nice though.

The characters were pretty bland and one dimensional. The two male protagnoists are sure to delight edgy people who see themselves as being of similar limited, characteristics. There were glimpses and hints of character development that were never fully realised because the series didn't move along the central storyline. Instead, most episodes were largely stand alone and felt unrelated. I wouldn't even say those somewhat related to moving the main plot along were always worth watching. There were maybe 6 episodes worth watching. My biggest annoyance was how some episodes felt completely unrelated to... See full review

The introduction to this anime makes really big promises about a 7 minute miracle which are never really paid off. There's a few interesting concepts that are briefly touched on, but not enough to make them feel really meanginful to the overarching plot. I think it should have committed to being a singing drama (and leaned into the familiy dynamics) or it should have woven in the scifi and/or political themes consistently and from the start.

I watched the Netflix dub version, so in fairness my score may be slightly increased if the previous subs were available. 

I think most of the previous reviews cover all the good points of this anime. It contains all the loveable cliches of anime and some strong personalities. There are times when it is happy, goofy, and sad. I felt that the ending was weak compared to the beginning and it was generally quite a dark and sad ending which I hadn't expected given the tone of the first few episodes.

Personally, I found the first 5-6 episodes slow and kind of boring. I could see potential with the plot and characters, but it didn't emerge until episode 6. After that the episodes were intersting and enjoyable. My advice would be to skip the first couple of episodes - you will probably pick up the necessary information from the synopsis! My review score would be heigher if not for those slow couple of episodes.

I had high expectations for this anime and began watching this with a feeling that I would enjoy it, but sadly this anime fell very short. Although there is great promise for the plot with many characters and potentially a lot of history and lore, this anime falls short of giving any kind of decent eleboration. It was because of this that I found it very difficult to really engage with. I imagine that the manga and light novels help flesh out the plot a bit more, but honestly I won't be checking to make sure. The bottom line: Full of promise, but ultimately fails to realise it's own potential.

Pretty art style and character designs, but that's where the good points end.  The male characters (who are meant to be seductive) verbal and physically abuse the female protagnoist. They force themselves on the protagnoist and take blood without consent (even when she verbally protests and physically resists) constantly. Due to the link between vampires and sexuality, it isn't surprisng people have described this anime as 'rapey' or likened the events to sexual assault.  Now I like darker animes, and when vampires are involved there is usually at least once instance of taking blood...

In short, this anime is about school girls experiencing minor difficulties and different experiences (e.g. concerns of weight, studying, learning about Japanese culture) and how their friends help them. There is no romance or action, just positive relationships (mainly focused on friends, rather than family). It is not the kind of anime you could watch back-to-back because each episode works well as a stand-alone story. Furthermore, there is so much cuteness and positivity packed into each episode that it is quite difficult to watch two episodes in one sitting! If you were to watch an episode a day, I don't...

The style and animation are beautiful, however the story is certainly bizarre. After watching 14 episodes, I feel as though there are 3 noticiable arcs. First, an introduction to our main characters and the birth of Samuri Flamenco. I enjoyed this, and this is why I continued watching the anime. Second, we have the appearance of Flamenco girl and the story starts to feel more far-fetched than before as she goes around physically assaulting criminals and using dangerous weapons. Then it seems to turn into something similar to Power Rangers. I am not a fan of The Power Rangers, and didn't want to watch... See full review

The plot feels a little light, I think it relies on an attempt at a love story and fan girl elements (attempted sexiness everywhere! Biting, shirtless-ness, pushing against walls, etc.). If you're 13 years old or enjoyed Twilight, I think you will probably enjoy this. If you're looking for a more mature plot, I don't think you will find much enjoyment here. It had the potential to be a really dark, brooding plot and I watched on it a recommended assuming that it would be this way, instead it came off as a bit immature.  I watched this in English dub with English subs (translated from Japanese). I... See full review

I'm currently at episode 9 and I can say that I like the animation style, the music and sounds, along with the character designs. However, I feel the story lacks a real feeling of flow and the characters feel unrelatable. It's not boring - the story premise is great - but for me it does not do a whole lot. I'm hoping it gets better, but I'm truly only continuing with this anime in order to talk about it to my anime loving friends. If they had not though it was amazing, I certainly would have dropped it by now.
