Member Review

This was a pretty good anime. The first two thirds of it was really good, but the the last third of it just got really boring. This definitely worth a watch though.

7/10

Characters

Saya Otonashi
High school senior Saya Otonashi doesn’t remember anything that happened before one year ago. Despite the lack of memory, she lives a happy life with her adoptive family--that is, until a blood-sucking vampire called a “chiropteran” attacks her and her brother. The attack triggers the unraveling of her past, and Saya soon discovers that she is the only one who can defeat the chiropterans. With the help of her family, friends and her faithful servant, Hagi, Saya starts to revisit her past life and accepts her role battling the vampires that have plagued Japan for centuries.

Haji
A handsome cellist with some alarming Chiropteran features, Haji presents Saya with the special sword she uses to kill Chiropterans. He is somehow tied to her forgotten past.
