Outwardly protagonist Kojou Akatsuki seems just like any other sixteen year old boy; indeed that is what he was until he became the 'Fourth Progenitor'; the most powerful vampire! Others are understandably wary of his powers so 'sword shaman' Yukina Himeragi is sent to observe him and, should he show signs of becoming dangerous, kill him. The vampires in this series aren't quite like others; they have the power to summon familiars; huge supernatural beasts, although initially Kojou can't as he has yet to drink human blood. Kojou may not be that interested in his status but that doesn't prevent him getting into numerous dangerous situations
or from gradually building up a harem! The series is broken up into several arcs; each featuring a different menace but Kojou and his friends should be able to defeat them if they stick together.
I must admit I was a bit disappointed by this series; it felt like there was something I wasn't quite getting
there was plenty of action, not too much fan service, decent characters, some amusing moments and a reasonable story so I should have enjoyed it more
for that reason I'd still recommend people who like this sort of series give it a go; watching it without a week's break between episodes is likely to improve matters! The animation and character designs are up to the standard one would expect from such a series; especially during the impressive fight scenes.
These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.
