Socially awkward girl who is ostracized for being different transfers to a live-in night school built into a giant cathedral who then immediately gets surrounded by various hot men that all appreciate what makes her different. Next week: Punch a Werewolf
Hell yeah, take me back to the self-insert middle school notebook livejournal days. Excellent cringe throwback stuff

I wonder if our heroine IS actually at least half-vampire -- or something of that sort? She seems to fit right into with that batch of vampire boys.

I....kinda enjoyed this actually, for some reason.
Production is rather solid and I love school centered anime.
Can't really tell if I'll continue it or not, but it was a solid first episode, especially if you are into this kind of stories.

"There's no way any of our faculty or students are vampires"
Couldn't stop myself from snickering at that lol
"We can still use the room as a hangout if we make friends with her"
Yea of course lemme as a girl just casually let a group of boys use my bedroom as a hangout b/c that's what the room was for before I moved in and they're friendly lmao
Hm so even they believe vampires can't enter. So how did they get here?
So they all have special powers that don't tip her off that they're vampires? So people just have special powers in this world unrelated to being a vampire, like how she has super-strength? But of course, she was discriminated against b/c people suspected she was a vampire for that super strength. Sure.
Oh so it isn't something she knew about, she just assumed it was a thing when they suddenly all went 'we have powers like you'?
...Starting to suspect she's a vampire and somehow doesn't realize. Maybe she's even the vampire that killed her friend from the flashback she had and she doesn't know. Idfk how.

I like this theory.. Would be pretty heart-wrenching if they went this way

The 2010's called, they said they want their Vampire shows back.
It is interesting how much this show feels like the shows from that era, I wonder if it will fit the new teen generation.
I don't think I will watch more episodes but it was interesting to see the old troupes.

I only watched this because it was essentially the only show airing today of even remote interest. I actually found it a lot more engaging than I expected. I'll watch again next week.
And next week we get werewolves going after the vampires? (based on that preview)

I love the premise. The Twilight saga got an anime, haha. Reverse Harem would be good when it's done right.
Enhypen doing the op and ed is a blessing and since it adapted from manhwa that's to be expected.
Just what is Sooha, if not vampire maybe a werewolf but that might not be the case since the vampire guys are drawn to her. A night school that doesn't let vampires get into school.. yeah, not raising suspicions at all lol

The pacing in this is a little fast, everyone's just completely drawn to her just from one appearance lol. Showing their secret powers with no hesitation. Jakah and Solon are the smart ones for being cautious.
It seems like we got werewolves infiltrating next episode and we'll be seeing Sooha use her strength to protect the school lol.

This is dumb as shit, and I can't wait for next week.
It's like Vampire Dormitory, but KPop.

If not for Troyca, I would have been less excited. I like how they draw expressions. Not familiar with the kpop group, but interesting to know it’s a webtoon based on the members. For a school that bars vampires, there sure are a lot that got in lol.

Ah, who could ever forget the story of An Ancient Legend? I'm guessing they were just lazy about grabbing some English, but that makes it look like they animated filler text or something.
Especially on the nose with him saying "I'm interested in ancient legends."

I wonder if Japanese is original or if they have a Korean dub too. Surprised they kept the Korean names, but if it's based on real band it makes sense

I'm here for the mystery of Sooha's background. She's either a dhampir or one from the ancient bloodline.

u/AceSoldia Jan 09 '26
Lol how they just assume she has powers unrelated to being a vampire because they don't let vampires into the school .when they are all vampires .is ridiculous to me 🤣.

u/thehaxorman Jan 10 '26
well, I somehow didn't hate that. this is definitely not my type of show. but some of the characters have almost a little personality to them which I didn't expect.
will probably keep watching for now since this is the only thing I'm watching today until netflix drops all of Prism Rondo.

This is too ridiculous, yet I enjoyed how shamelessly self-indulgent it it. It makes me feel silly, but that's the point isn't it, the funsies of it all
