Tsuki to Laika to Nosferatu

Yes, it's a light-romance, yes, it's aimed at a young audience, yes, it's a pseudo-reality fantasy, BUT ; 1 The deliberate disrespectful making-soft&safe version of vampires, ruins whatever scary/exciting aspects that attracted some of the audience to it, which inidrectly dis-empowers the female-lead, which then leads to yet-another helpless-girl-needing-a-wordly-older-male style scenes, despite the fact that the female lead, in being a vamp, is probably several times older than the male UZSR reserve member. 2 The selectively chosen scary-things-out , funny / 'just-different' things left in, editing of what vampires are supposed to be, also removes what explains some of the reasons-WHY vamps can't do this, can't do that, even-for, a younger audience not familiar with the genre/history, leaving a plot-hole / background-hole that is not filled with anything. The supposed 'ancient-history' now abandoned by vampires, puts a ludicrous amount of CHOICE, in the hands of vampires, when the entire genre is one of oppression & cruelty under a curse, under a god/gods - (that vampires are to be pitied despite their agelessness). 3 There is a quite obvious avoidance of American culture/impact in the foreground, while still leaving little things here and there in the background, or surruptitiously, like the uneccessary amount of time spent on whether or not 'Soda' is being adopted/found-agreeable, per the historical slow introduction of american culture real-history. 4 There are also some minor plot-holes in production, but they're less significant that other things, like the barracks scene in the first episode, where while in reality, RETURNED cosmonauts dined at GALAS sometimes, in celebration in beating the Americans at various things during the space-race, cosmonaunts did not dine with-roses-at-the-table , in the ordinary barracks... sigh. And yet simultaneously, we're to be 'told' as the audience, that this and that about-vamps , are just myths. Portraying myth and lies inamongst (now-old) propoganda, seems to be fine according to this series director/s / producers, when portraying the 'UZSR' , but seems to be wrong ... when portraying what WOULD BE myth about vamps, under creative-liscence. Sigh. ---------- I had to stop watching the series when the ICBM explosion story, remineded me recently, of the confusion about why higher-enriched plutonium is currently being used in Iran, after an Israeli sabotage effort, and the plant has been literally needing to run on one-less-cylinder, and in doing so, has been simply been needing to use-more-fuel , in-less-reactors. The portrayal of failure, is all blame-the-UZSR ... the failings are all-theirs,.. ... while 'cans of pop' ... are still being pressured upon the cowed-female 'lead', although "lead" , is being generous. I hope later in the series, she cuts-sick, snaps the leash, grabs her man by the collar and flaps off to devour him in 'light-romantic' ways in some grotto somewhere in the transalvanians,.. ... but considering how tame, softened, watered-down, and anti-feminist this series already seems to me after only 2 or 3 episodes, i doubt it will. --------- ONLY IF it turns that around, then maybe 4 or 5 out of 10 stars.
