Let's just set one thing straight here; the whole plot of the story (both seasons) is the girl (Yui) gets her blood sucked by vampires. That's it. That's how every episode goes. And if you're thinking it still might be a good watch, you're dead wrong. The girl doesn't consent to anything, and every time a scene happens where her blood is sucked it feels like I'm watching her get r*ped.
Along with the r*pey vibes I get from watching it, the story just feels incomplete. The first real story arc just gets randomly cut off with Yui killing herself and being brought back to life with no explanation to the woman possessing her before. Nobody tells us what happened. The second season ends on a cliff hanger.
Judging by the r*pey vibes from this show, I don't think it'll survive in modern day society. It would definitely end up on the twitter trending with people saying how disgusting it is.
I only watched both seasons because I HOPED that it would get better. It never did. The episodes were basically just repeats of the previous; one brother gets to spend some time with Yui, and at the end of their hangout they suck her blood until she literally passes out from blood loss. The brothers have no concern when she passes out and just lay her down on the nearest chair or bed. Almost every episode starts with her waking up from these experiences.
Another problem with the show is the main character, Yui. I get that she's supposed to be a shy, quiet girl, but god dammit, no girl would allow this stuff to happen to her. She doesn't even try to fight back when getting her blood sucked, and it's even suggested by a character that since she doesn't resist, she must like it (which is THE R*PIEST MOMENT OF THE SHOW). She has so many questions and half the time she doesn't even try to get answers, like who the hell is her dad? And when she does ask questions, she gets vague answers that leave the viewer just as confused. But we never get an answer. The second season ends without explaining what the hell is going on, or what the whole deal with the Adam Eve thing is. It just ends with her "getting her freedom and choice" which should've been a thing since the beginning.
The only good part about the series is the character designs themselves. I'm not fond of most of their personalities, but most of them are very aesthetically pleasing to look at. Although that's kind of ruined when they sexually harass the main character. The voice acting was also very nicely done, and you could tell the cast did a lot of work into getting into character.
Overall, it's just a very weird. It seems like someone's fetish but made into a full anime. I'll most definitely never rewatch this series. Also, one more thing to add that personally ticked me off for no reason; the sound effect made when the vampires bite Yui. It's sounds like they're biting into an apple and personally it just doesn't sit right for me. Makes it seem all the more like they just think of her as food.
score 2/10
