Review of Irina: The Vampire Cosmonaut

"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, anime about space, the cold war, the "UZSR" and 20th century politics does not gain my attention. I solely watched this because of a cute vampire girl. So how does "The vampire cosmonaut" handle the vampire genre? Mehr. Honestly, you could have replaced vampires for any other oppressed group and it would have worked. 99%of the time I forgot that she was a vampire, but perhaps that's her mysterious vampire allure at work?

Getting down to the actual review, the show was alright. It was a bit rigid in places and the whole premises is nonsensical but disregarding that, I give this an 7/10.

The characters were average, Irina (the vampire) carried the entire show without a doubt. I'm not going to break it down like others, that isn't my style. For me this does not have re-watch value, just because of how stale it can get.
