Summary: During a fiercely hot summer in Sotoba, a peaceful and quiet village with a population of 1300 people, a series of bizarre deaths begin to occur. At the same time, a strange family moves into a long abandoned mansion in the region. Hospital dean Toshio Ozaki cannot figure out the cause of death in the deceased, initially suspecting an epidemic. As investigations continue between the hospital staff and the residents, it turns out that the village is being attacked by vampires.

Excellent
Story: 4
Dialogue: 4
Animation: 5
Entertainment: 5
Pros: -Very well structured plot. Grabs you quickly and rarely drones on.
-Dignity to the vampire/undead genre, with some unexpected deeper questions.
-Plenty of gore (if you like that I guess... don't look at me like that...).
-Some very nice characters (the doctor character rocks!).
-Wonderful voice acting, animation, and music throughout.

Cons: -Some of the people and situations are so unrealistic they deserve a slight face-palm.
-Some of the character design is borderline silly/lame (like the guy with the blue hair twists? what the hell...)
-Ends rather abruptly, and doesn't really use some of the "main" characters to their fullest.
-Not scary (1 scene in particular is somewhat disturbing, not so much scary. No jump scares even).

Overall: -Not bad, definitely worth a watch. I was definitely hoping for a more "horror" focused anime, however some of the characters really are wonderful, and you want to keep watching to see how they will react and deal with the unreal situations unfolding around them.
