kutsuwamushiI heard about this show when it first came out, and was interested because the clips that I saw were interesting.
The show takes place in an alternate universe 1930s. Vampires, who live in secret, are searching for a MacGuffin that will help them rule the world. Meanwhile, people called "jaegers" hunt the vampires. Our main character is jaeger with a special connection to the MacGuffin.
It turned out to be exceptionally mediocre and not at all like I expected from the buzz around it. The first sign I was in for a disappointing time was the character designs. They're just so ugly and uninspired. I mean, this guy is the main villain. He looks like a goth clown murdered an ostrich.
This guy is the main character's brother. Looking at him, you would have no idea that this show is supposedly set in the 1930s. And that's kind of the whole show: the settings and minor characters look like they belong in the world, but the main cast is just generic anime meh.
The story itself is okay, but still tainted by a lot of generic anime meh. I guess it just turned out a lot more derivative than I expected given the concept/setting and the clips I'd seen before.
(Also, I have some feelings about one of the supporting characters being an officer of Imperial Japan, and the casual references to manchuria etc.)
