Moonphase - opinions?

Postby dyzzispell » Mon Feb 19, 2007 12:51 pm

Hey all,
I was thinking about renting this series, but I don't know much about it, content-wise. Has anyone seen it? Is there nudity/sexuality in it?
Any help would be great. Thanks! XD
In Christ,
Dyzzi

I saw volume one and it was beyond hilarious. It has some innuendo but no serious stuff (he wakes up to find her sitting on his chest in one episode), least not in volume one. I wanna see the whole series really bad. It is really, really funny.

Some might take issue with the ages of the main characters. The main guy photographer is in his 20s I believe and the main girl is like 15 or 16, possible younger. Nothing happens and the guy thinks of her as a sister, but you know how anime can be. I really liked what I saw though.

Looked like tripe to me...

Vampire? check. Goth-loli? Check. Cat ears? Check. Clueless guy in love with her? Check.

The animation wasn't so bad though.

Well I seem to be the only person who has seen the whole thing. As far as questionable content most of the "seduction" happens in the first episode so if you can tollerate that you should be able to stand the rest of the series. One of the other vampires shows hints of homosexuality. A few of the characters use chants/spells to fight the vampires and other monsters. There's a few "adult jokes" that revolve around the main guy and girl characters.


That's all I can remember for now, there wasn't anything that I would consider extremely questionable in this series. Honestly, I liked this series but it wouldn't be one I'd pick to watch again. I'm not a big fan of series like this though (a older guy with a young girl obsessed with him).

So there are probably more than just the two volumes.

Actually, Netflix shows 4 volumes released so far. I assume there will probably be 6 volumes. The first two have 5 episodes, and the second two have 4. So there will probably be two more 4 episode volumes.
