im thinking about vampires that eat people. like truly eat people. vampires that tear chunks of flesh from their victims throats, who walk away from their meal picking bits of meat from between their teeth. vampires that not only feel the impulse to bite, but who remember the instinct to chew.

witch and the beast anime will probably not be great but im still gonna watch every episode

the animation was inconsistent which isn't the worst ever but it's annoying to jump from panning a completely still image to more detailed close ups and how one second they looked fine then immediately horrible the next? the style looks a little bit blander which i can't blame since obviously animation is still from manga but it lost a lot of it's idk ""gothic"" charm style it had and ashaf looks kind of bald instead of suave and cool, and guideaus true form is too light imo and doesn't have that raw beast vibe but again stylistic yk

the pacing was wayyyy too fast, the first little scene doesn't have much to begin with but it genuinely felt like i was watching it on fast forward to fit all that into 20 mins but they're only doing 6 episodes so it makes sense.

the voice acting was pretty good though, I didn't really enjoy guideaus voice in their true form since I always imaged it to be deeper and the actual voice sounded kinda robot-y?

its only the first episode so far so i can't say oh it's awful it's gonna suck but hopefully they slow down a little and saved some energy for the detailed fights and such

#dnt mind me ranting no one else ik watches this #but they will.
