Going into the Fall 2021 Season, I would have never thought an alternate history fiction about a Soviet Vampire going to space will be my Comfy Anime of the Season, but here I am. In spite of its oppressive setting, or maybe even because of it, Tsuki to Laika has been a light and enjoyable viewin...

Tsuki to Laika's charming characters and their relationships shine within the unique Soviet space program setting, creating surprisingly comfy and emotionally resonant moments despite the oppressive backdrop, all enhanced by a stellar jazz soundtrack. The animation quality is notably rough and th...

This anime surprised me by keeping me thoroughly entertained throughout with its unique premise of a vampire test subject for space flight safety. While I wish the romance had been explored more deeply, the story wrapped up satisfyingly and left me perfectly content with where it concluded. The c...

The Vampire Cosmonaut deserves credit for its ambitious moral message about equality and its realistic portrayal of the space race within a communist dictatorship setting. However, the anime fails to create any emotional connection with its flat, incomprehensible characters and abandons its promi...

Irina the Vampire Cosmonaut delivers stunning moe character designs and a nostalgic USSR-themed soundtrack that creates an irresistibly calming evening atmosphere. While the story and character development remain merely solid rather than exceptional, focusing primarily on the two leads, the overa...

What is this anime? Vampire girl is abducted to be a test-flight experiment to make sure a space flight is safe before humans go into space. MC is her instructor and is cool dude. He tries to get her safely into space and back, while also trying hard to make sure he's the first human in space. Di...

Irina the Vampire Cosmonaut is basically a treat for all the history buffs out there who also manage to think of the "what if" scenarios of the pasts, like when the USSR won the space race against the USA. Here are my Ratings for this show Story is 6/10- Basically established a solid plot but its...

This incredible gem is egregiously underrated. At first, I thought the premise would be stupid since it's a romance between a human and a vampire, but they both are trying to be astronauts and want to go to space. The art is very beautiful, and the music is fitting. HOWEVER, only other than the c...

Story/characters: The premise to Irina: The Vampire Cosmonaut is outlandish and watching this series requires one to suspend their disbelief over the idea of inserting a vampire on an otherwise realistic storyline. Not everyone can achieve such a feat and this premise is bound to turn people off....

Irina: The Vampire Cosmonaut delivers a surprisingly accurate and engaging depiction of the space race with remarkably strong character development, particularly in the relationship between Lev and Irina, culminating in an emotionally impactful ending that leaves a lasting impression. While the o...

The anime presents an enjoyable and simplistic story with well-executed art and animation, using the Space Race backdrop to explore human connection through the relationship between Lev and the vampire girl Irina. However, the lack of world-building about vampire origins and their cultural connec...

The unique vampire-in-space premise breaks refreshing ground against tired isekai tropes, with compelling character dynamics between the vampire protagonist and her human coach driving the story forward. While the political subplot proves confusing and the vampire's robotic voice acting takes adj...

The story is meh but the main characters have more depth than most of the other romance anime I've watched. I wouldn't recommend it unless you like cutesy romance shows, otherwise it is a solid watch. Story: 6 The story is nothing captivating, but I enjoyed the setting of communist "Russia." The ...

Irina: The Vampire Cosmonaut impresses with its historically accurate Cold War setting that faithfully depicts 1960s Soviet-style oppression and the space race atmosphere, while the main duo of Lev and Irina receives sufficient development to make viewers care about their relationship despite fol...

Disclaimer: I have not read the light novel (LN) of this series, thus I am unsure of how accurate the anime adapts from the original source. Therefore, most of the comments here will be analysing the anime as an original show rather than an adaptation of the LN. Story: The story is set in an alte...

This story follows our 2 main characters as they are working towards achieving their goals and becoming closer to each other,with some minor politics that were fitting with the mood and plot of the story. As expected our 2 main characters they are the ones that get the most fleshed out stories,wi...

Set in a world similar to Cold War era Soviet Union in 1960, Irina: The Vampire Cosmonaut is set during the space race between the Zimitra Republic and United Kingdom of Arnak to attempt launching the first person into space. Lev Laps is part of a cosmonaut candidate training program, who was dem...

Sure my review will have some spoilers and I don't know if it'll be helpful for you the reader. I know there'll be a lot better review out there by professional anime watcher and reviewers. I'm only a working guy stressed at work and enjoy watching anime to relieve stress. Also dont expect me to ...

"The vampire cosmonaut"...This is going to get strange. Allow me to preface this by saying I highly enjoy vampire anime but most suck...hard (pun not intended). Only a few series have been able to pull of the vampire genre and not made it turn into a mishmash of cringe and cliche. Additionally, a...

Tsuki to Laika no Nosferatu is an anime that I think could have really grabbed me, it had a unique concept to say the least, but it doesn't capitalize on that aspect and instead feels cliché and generic, amounting to a very 'ok' show. The first thing I'll mention is what the show got right, which...
