To be tied up and have my blood sucked by a flat chested vampire.
This is why Vampire fetishes are great. There's such dominance to having your blood sucked, such danger.

And I am a masochist.

This episode was alright, but from how I see it, Moon Phase will turn out to be a not so great series. It's dissapointing... A couple complaints I have about this episode are

- Kouhei appears to be anemic, bad choice of colors for blood.
- Kouhei appears to abnormally normal, quite a let down for a main male character.
- The story's pace is going way too fast.

These are just my opinions though ;d

There was something quite endearing about this episode, although I'm not sure if I can put my finger on it or not. Maybe it's the strange juxtaposition, maybe it's the interesting art style, maybe it's the sense of playfulness, I'm not sure...

A nice episode tbh. Besides that fan-service, it gave off sort of a mystical/fantasy/modern feeling imo. Hazuki is pretty cute imo especially with those neko like ears.



Also, nice soundtrack to this series tbh. I'm surprised on how it was orchestrated. That bite was also wow, just wow. Anyways, this episode impressed me. The ED song was pretty damn catchy too.

Leave it to Shinbou to take what would otherwise be garbage and make it interesting.

That near-kiss!

Well that was an unexpected first episode (though I am not a fan of its opening theme...)

Just starting this series. I liked the first episode, but the OP was awful. I'll skip that one (at least OP1, will have to see about OP2) every next episode, haha!

The pink blood was... something else.

I wonder what's up with the Hazuki/Luna personalities.

Strange shift in tones, I can’t tell it’s going to be a comedy or drama.

The start is a bit slow, but it has a classic charm to it

Eh a vampire cat that's a good combination, though the power part is a bit mysterious yet, but the MC already got caught

The OP is kinda hard to take but I'm kinda laughing at how stereotypically moe this is. I'll continue with this probably on and off when I feel ready for more moe fluff.
The anime ending, later, has much more Charm. 
Anyway, I assume you finished the anime by now? 

The first episode gave me a lot of hype back then; to see a female vampire, biting her "prey," seems really hot to me.

Hazuki is cute, but I don't know if Kouhei is all that interesting. Maybe the exorcist guy should've been the main character instead. That said, Kouhei has plenty of time to develop, with this many episodes. The environments and scenery in this anime are really cool so far too.

I remember stumbling across this episode on YouTube years ago, it's just like I remembered it too. it's a great little introduction to what's to come for future episodes.

You have to be really stupid to have been entangled in such situation lmao.
Either way... somewhat weak start. Although it's interesting to see the early Shinbou style, it feels somewhat dull.

Great show. Love the first episode.

So I got recommend this after seeing Portrait of le Pettite Cossette. I am shocked at how similar both stories are. Let me name a few key points

-Both shows premiered in 2004 - check
-Goth loli heroine - check
-both lolis from europe castle-like setting (but can seemingly speak jap with ease) - check
-both several hundred years old presumably but still appear as lolis - check
-Only MC can see loli - check
-both MC's have several friends or family who happen to be psychics or spiritualists - check
-loli trapped by crystal glass of some sort, wants MC to free her - check
-Blood drinking to form a pact - check
-Both full of eyeballs drawn on walls imagery - check
-naked loli wearing only black cape - check
-In Moon Phase the grandpa runs an antique shop and in Cossette the MC works at his uncles antique shop. Both antique shops function as a main hub of the show.

After this the shows go their separate ways, but theres just so many similarities, it almost feels like they copied each others homework
