Working as a photographer for a magazine that runs stories about the occult takes Kohei Morioka (voiced by Hiroshi Kamiya) to a castle in Germany, where he meets a young vampire (Chiwa Saito) and brings her back with him to Japan. The rest of this supernatural anime follows their hilarious experiences living together as unlikely roommates -- a situation made all that more entertaining especially since one of them is a creature of the night!
Get ready for an adorable, heart warming romance, chock full of supernatural mystery and human drama. Moonphase touches on the fear of being alone and asks the question, who is most important to you?
As an anime newbie I wasn't quite sure what to expect from the PG rating. I personally was in love with this series by the end, but if random anime cuteness throws you off you might want to skip Moonphase.
What made this series stand out for me was its masterful blend of four genre's; action, drama, romance and comedy. Despite the vampire theme, I don't believe the series qualifies as horror, or that it aims to.
The art is spot on with its rich color and sometimes abstract quality. The animation is in a creative league of its own in the castle scenes and later on during Kohei's training. And the English voice acting and dialogue is excellent!
