Review of Vampire Dormitory
To go from living a life where no one cares about you, to suddenly live in a boys dormitory with a vampire. Only one issue, you are secretly a girl. In Vampire Dormitory do we follow Mito, who is a girl hiding her identity as a boy, the vampire Ruka and the bad boy of the school Ren. We then follow them where a traditional drama is built up between the three of them, as mito is stuck between two people. The plot is a classic romance drama between three people, where it very much switches between having focus on Mito and Ruka, and Mito and Ren.It then builds up on how they start to get to know each other, and sets up the hard dilemmas for the characters. The plot is also influenced by the setting of the vampire world, which gives some twists and has some interesting effects on the characters. Though overall the plot is fairly predictable.
When it comes to the characters are they fairly detailed, though their actions and progress is very predictable. Which gives some characters that have a very broad set of ambitions and thoughts, but when they are in the scene do you rather quickly realize what their choice will be. So on the surface are the characters very interesting but in depth are they not.
It is a romance love polygon, which it lives up to without a doubt, everything is coated in romance. This is almost done to an extreme degree where it becomes too sugar sweet. Even the vampire lore they have set into the show, builds up around the romance and keeps the romantic tone through it all.
Overall is the show alright, it is not that impressive and is extremely coated in romance, but sadly also predictable. But if you like some extreme romance drama with some vampires splashed into it, could this be the show for you.
