This anime is about a lady named Tsukasa and half-human, half-vampire mix, Yuuki Anzai.¹ "Tsukasa soon finds herself drawn to Anzai, who reluctantly reciprocates her feelings. However, this unconventional romance may prove too difficult to maintain, as Anzai struggles to contain the part of him that wishes to devour Tsukasa."¹
Explicit Content
There is immodesty and nudity in this anime. Crunchroll lists it as 18+. Two of the reasons is "Sexual Violence" and "Sexual Content".² This includes:
"a girl is kissed by a boy (he was out of control), she has a dream that of the two of them naked while [having coitus]."
"Tsukasa is shown with a loose overcoat on. You can see the sides of her breasts and the back of her buttocks"
"A female college student has a teacher that sexually assaults her. He is seen grabbing her and later her shirt is torn open and her [undergarment] pushed up somewhat."
"Two characters have a makeout/[coitus] session."
"Vampires (also called Devils) lose control when they see blood. They attack...sometimes sexually [assult or rape] the victim as well."³
This is not what God would have. Immodesty and fornication is not godly.
"Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand." (1 Corinthians 10:8)
God thinks fornication is such a grievous sin that 23,000 died in one single day for it! Additionally, 1 Timothy 2:9 teaches us that immodesty is wrong.
Vampires and Blood Consumption
When one thinks of vampires, they are known to drink the blood of humans. While this show diverges from the general understanding in that these vampires don't require blood for survival, they still drink blood.¹ The Lord tells us not to consume blood.
"¶ And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people." (Leviticus 17:10)
Yet, this show has vampires which "attack the person that is bleeding and suck all of their blood out".³ This is great wickedness. On the topic, "suck[ing] all of their blood out" sounds just like murder to me, does it not? Murder is against the Word of God.
Conclusion
This particular anime has lots of gore and sexual content. This show should be avoided by the Christian as it violates the Bible and what we are commanded to do.
