Mars Red Ep 1:Dawn SummaReview

I read Mars Red manga before watching, so I might reference some stuff that don't make sense in the context of the anime. So, spoilers beware!

TL;DR: Maeda proves to be worthy of being the leader of Code Zero. Misaki proves she is best bae. It’s so beautiful and tragic like the theater.

Actual summary/review:

I love how the story starts with then-Major Yoshinobu Maeda meeting the actress Misaki Nakajima, who's been turned into a vampire. Based on the dialogue with Maeda's superiors, I assume she's either supposed to have turned into an S-class vampire. And yet, for all the abilities she was blessed? cursed? with at her vampiric birth, she was unable to remember anything but her desire to reenact her parts as Salome, from the play Salome.

Maeda perhaps takes a fascination to her, as she is very beautiful and enthralling as an actress. Her Salome was also very convincing, and even if they were repeated footage on the part of the viewer, it was still very beautiful to look at. She's very passionate about her work, and it's all she ever does whenever Maeda visits her. She too takes fascination to him, and with each passing day, she begins to break out of her trance and awaken more of her abilities. I ship them.

Maeda investigates and meets Deffrot - and I thought that he wasn't supposed to know about Defrot until later (based on the manga). That said, Defrot was supposed to be Misaki's partner in the play, her Salome's Jokanaan. That said, Defrot says that Misaki's been waiting for her lover to come back, and has been practicing her lines to show off her talents to him. However, she "dies" when some props fall on her. Of course, Maeda's colleagues seize her body, because she is a vampire. Tragic, indeed, like the tragedy the actors are playing out in the stage.

As a vampire perhaps Misaki transposes Maeda's facade onto that lover. Also, we're also told Maeda has a fiancee he's never met. We are not sure who that is, and we can't truly say if he's the one Misaki's waiting for or not.

That said, Misaki just really wanted to see that guy she so loved. She breaks out of her cell in Tsukishima and injures - not kills - the forces who come to try and contain her. Miraculously, she's wearing her Salome costume. It's for poetic emphasis visual-wise, but logic-wise, perhaps she'd only been wearing it underneath her kimono and hakama.

But, while she is breaking out, there's much emphasis given on how much she calls out for her Jokanaan, how much she claims to love him. In her eyes is Maeda; she treats him as her Jokanaan, and spends the whole night looking for him. He too spends the night looking for her, and he meets her in the theater she worked for. The scene is so beautiful, so ethereal. She dances about in the streets; Maeda simply walks stoically to the theater, as if knowing she will be there.

When they meet, Maeda hesitates. Eventually he draws his sword - but she stops him. Instead, she takes his hand and dances with him, happy to see her "lover" come back. She does not kiss him even if in her speech, she desires to, perhaps knowing that he is still not the man she is waiting for, in vain. Even so, he gives her a bit of that happiness, as he had listened to her and watched her performance several times. The dawn comes, and it dissolves her into ashes.

Maeda perhaps spends some time reflecting on the incident, staring at the spot where she dissolved, before returning to report to his superiors. He's promoted to Lieutenant - and that's how he comes to lead Code Zero.

Mars Red – 01 (First Impressions) – On a Silver Platter

Tokyo, Japan, 1923: Major Maeda Yoshinobu is escorted to a maximum-security underground prison at Tsukishima Island housing a single inmate: Misaki, an actress who was performing Salome at the Imperial Theatre when she was turned into a vampire. When Maeda meets her through thick glass, she’s still reciting the lines of the play, as if she were still on stage.

Later on, a suspiciously vampiric-looking young man at the theatre tells Maeda that when the lights go out and the curtains rise, the audience is transported to the underworld. I can’t help but watch Maeda and his chatterbox underling’s journey deeper and deeper into the Tsukishima  facility and think they too are on a journey to the underworld.

While Japan and its military are rapidly modernizing and westernizing, it’s ironic that the covert vampire hunting unit Lt. General Nakajima has created deals with ancient monsters. The general reminds Maeda not to allow sympathy or pity to dull his blade, and Maeda assures him if Misaki cannot be brought to their side, he’ll promptly dispose of her.

Maeda visits the theatre, where the stage is still a mess of blood and ruined scenery, and he meets the inscrutable actor Deffrot, who played Jokanaan, AKA John the Baptist, whose head is served to Salome on a silver platter as payment for her Dance of the Seven Veils. In a very neat piece of “camera”work, the shadow of Maeda’s head is cast on the play’s poster, held in Salome’s hands.

Outside the theatre Maeda is approached by a young lady he mistakes for Misaki, but she introduces herself as Shirase Aoi, a reporter for the Nitto News. Maeda ignores her requests for comment and access to the theatre, and then Moriyama arrives by car to report that Misaki has escaped. For a second there, I wondered if Aoi was Misaki after all.

As Moriyama speeds Maeda back to Tsukishima, Misaki effortlessly smashes through all of the steel doors and barriers in her way, takes a bullet with barely a flinch, bleeds black blood, bites a neck, casually nudges a bullet away and dodges the others with her vampiric speed. Through it all she moves with a dancer’s grace, embodying the role of Salome—whom I learned was transformed by French writers from her biblical role to the “incarnation of female lust”.

A different dance ensues, with both Maeda and Misaki gradually making their way to the same spot: across the Nihonbashi bridge to Marunouchi Plaza at Tokyo Station. It’s the capper to an episode that serves as a Where’s Where of Taisho-era Tokyo.

Misaki gets closer and closer to Maeda, but when he grips his sword and prepares to draw, she places her hand over his, embraces him a little while longer, then steps aside and lets herself be consumed by the morning light, without further bloodshed. The same stigmata design on her tongue appears on the spot where she incinerated.

Back at HQ, General Nakajima promotes Maeda to Colonel and puts him in command of Code Zero, with the mission of apprehending or disposing of vampires in Japan. If I had to describe Mars Red in one word, it would be classy. Given another word, I’d use deliberate. As Maeda navigates a Tokyo in flux and deals with Misaki, every scene is given room to breathe. I’m intrigued!

@veritcs​ said:  4. what’s the weirdest muse you’ve ever had? 5. who is / was your favourite muse of all time to play? 6. is there a muse you’d add or bring back if you didn’t have to worry about whether others are interested in them or not?

( MUNS TASTE IN MUSES )

4. what’s the weirdest muse you’ve ever had? My  weirdest  muse  ?  As  in  they’re  weird  or  its  just  so  out  of  my  norm  ?  Tbh  I’m  not  sure..Chuuya  &  Akutagawa  aren’t  WEIRD  but  they  were  my  first  ‘  main  cast  of  a  popular  series  ‘  characters  so  they  were  weird  in  that  regard.  Yaha-Kui  was  weird  only  because  he  was  a  higher  being  and  didn’t  understand  ANYTHING  about  earth  or  humans  so  I  guess  him?

5. who is / was your favourite muse of all time to play?

Sigma  is  a  comfort  muse  and  he  always  gives  me  a  serotonin  boost  even  on  my  worst  days  ,  at  least  when  i  get  the  opportunity  to  write  him  ,  so  tbh  right  now  he’s  a  favorite  and  has  been.  BUT  in  regards  to  THIS  blog  my  favorite  might  be  Lucifer  because  he’s  so  intriguing  ?  And  also  a  Mood  sometimes.  Though  Horn  &  Byakkomaru  are  also  near  and  dear.  I’ve  had  them  both  for  over  3  years  now.  Crazy  !  But  all  time  ?  definitely  The  Rani  who  i  wrote  for  7  years  on  2  different  platforms  (  Quotev  then  tumblr)  but  there’s  more  but  let  me  show  you

She’s  an  amoral  scientific  genius.  And  she’s  a  WELL  written  amoral  character  who’s  properly  amora.  AND  she’s  a  scientific  genius  AND  she  was  written  in  1985.  She’s  from  Doctor  Who  ,  and  in  canon  both  The  Doctor  and  The  Master  said  she  was  smarter  than  them.  ANYWAYS  the  real  point  is  she  gave  me  hope.  Which  is  an  odd  thing  given  her  role  i  know.  but  she  inspired  my  to  pursue  a  degree  in  science  when  i  literally  had  a  teacher  tell  me  i  shouldn’t  because  i  was  a  girl  before.  I’ve  changed  paths  now  but  she  really  gave  me  strength  that  I  could  when  I  was  little  when  people  said  I  couldn’t.  Also  7  years  of  lore  &  developmment.  one  of  my  mutuals  on  here  (  tho  they  dont  roleplay  anymore  )  and  i  met  because  of  her  on  quotev.  i  still  have  friends  from  my  Doctor  Who  rp  days.  i  miss  it  a  lot  sometimes...  But  she’s  probably  my  favorite.  Also  I  always  learned  so  much  writing  as  her  !

6. is there a muse you’d add or bring back if you didn’t have to worry about whether others are interested in them or not?    yes.  Irene  Adler  is  one  of  them  ,  or  Praxina.  Tbh  I’ve  only  ever  lost  muse  for  like  2-3  muses  ever  ,  i  generally  just  drop  because  no  one  wants  them  so  I’d  love  to  bring  back  several  of  my  muses  or  even  an  OC  or  2  but  I  won’t  bc  i  know  there  isn’t  interest..  I’ve  also  been  considering  2  new  characters  (  see  below  )  but  i  doubt  there  will  be  a  rp  fandom  so  it’s  not  likely  because  I  don’t  think  people  will  be  interested.  Several  characters  I  want  but  even  if  people  ‘  say  ‘  they’re  interested  ,  they  rarely  are.

deffrot  aka  the  meeting  of  my  2  biggest  muse  tropes  probably

suwa  aka  government  vampire  hound.  (  although  him  i’m  more  hesitant  on  bc  i’ve  yet  to  solidify  an  opinion  so  far  )  

#veritcs #this is so long im so sorry #have a cookie if you read it all #have a cookie even if you didnt #〉the angst empress〈 — ✭ ⌜ooc⌟

[charmspoint]

Anyway I'm almost GLAD that that fight with Suwa ended up being a misunderstanding cuz while the manga has been building up a conflict in thoughts n ideals between Suwa n Kurusu, the anime basically cut out all of those scenes so it would be super unsatisfactory to watch them fight over that clash in ideals with it being established like 3 minutes before the fight.

And while that may be I'll still complain about the fight.

1. Why the fuck did Suwa attack like that making Kurusu believe that the orders to kill him are true? Like two minutes after we find out that he and Takeuchi also heard the fake recording and therefor he should have been able to assume Kurusu was fearful of him and explain the situation??? Instead of attacking for no reason??? What was that even about???

2. Why did Suwa take of his gasmask? Like why did he do it strategy wise? We know he did it script wise so Takeuchi's gas bomb would affect him too, but why did he do it in universe wise?? It didn't seem to help him fight any better (not like we would see anyway) Would it have been so hard to have, say, Kurusu cut it off in combat or something then him just conveniently drop it so Takeuchi's gas bomb could work on him too.

3. ...there was 0 effort put into that fight....a fight between Suwa and Kurusu, THE fighters of code zero. Flashes and sound affects...i have never been more disappointed by a fight in my life. What happened with Suwa's complex over Kurusu being stronger, what happened to the built up tension between them, what happened to their different moral codes. Even for a misdirect fight it could have been cool but instead we got sum fucking sparks

4. Why didn't Kurusu do anything about the little girls body? Like he was so upset about it wouldn't he had wanted to put her to rest or something? Actually that's not important but this is funny, why did Kurusu wait all the way until they were in the sewers to ask Suwa was he killing child vampires. YOU JUST SAW HIM STANDING OVER A DEAD CHILD VAMPIRES BODY WHAT DO YOU THINK. Like later we find out this was a set up by Rufus (again why didn't suwa say 'i just walked in on this too' instead of attacking) but Suwa was killing children ANYWAY so who cares if it was fake

5. ...Suwa is all over the place motivation wise we are REALLY missing his backstory. Like it's logical for him to kill even child vampires cuz he fuckin hates vampires, they literally took his life away from him, it's understandable if children too fall into his 'gotta kill them all' narrative, mayhaps even interesting for his character. But instead of that we get some bullshit about how he's killing child vampires because??? they won't survive anyway??? I'm sorry I'm sorry excuse me but should we perhaps think and remember you know

The oldest known vampire who was, hm let me think, TURNED AS A CHILD. OBVIOUSLY child vampires can survive just fine, Deffrot did for, what, 600 years??

And Suwa should KNOW this. Didn't the gang have a whole discussion about Deffrot and made a point about how he's even younger than Suwa (also suwa stfu u also count under turned as a child). And all the child vampire weaknesses Suwa named were just??? normal vampire weaknesses the adult vampires have too?? Anyway that whole reasoning was completely senseless and we really wouldn't need it if perhaps we showed Suwa's backstory and explained that he just really fucking hates vampires and that's all there is to it.

#mars red #this section was frustrating but i still liked it more than previous eps cuz suwa n takeuchi were there #they make everything better #lucy rants

WagakkiBand Sinks Their Teeth into MARS RED's Opening Theme

  MARS RED, based on the staged reading by Bun-O Fujisawa, is moving ever closer to its spring premiere. The series takes place in the 1920s — and, appropriately enough, we'll be starting every episode with high-energy retro/modern music.

  The upcoming anime's official Twitter account has reported that the anime's opening theme, "Aria of Life" will be performed by WagakkiBand. The group, so named because it performs with wagakki (traditional Japanese instruments), first came to fame with their covers of Vocaloid tunes. In recent years, they've begun performing original music.

  Check out the music video for their cover of Hatsune Miku's "Senbonzakura":

    WagakkiBand vocalist Yuuko Suzuhana says the band was enthusiastic about writing and performing the song, as all the group members are anime fans. She also says she hopes anime and its music can reach more people to lift their spirits.

  Guitarist Machiya adds that while "Aria of Life" has the trademark WagakkiBand sound, they also pulled inspiration from the story and era of MARS RED. Keep an ear out for sounds of the 1920s in the upcoming theme song.

    MARS RED will premiere this April, and will be simulcast by Funimation (who is also co-producing it). An official summary of the series:

  MARS RED takes place in 1923, and vampires have existed for quite a while. But now, the number of vampires is increasing and a mysterious, artificial blood source called Ascra has appeared.

The Japanese government, in turn, creates “Code Zero,” a unit within the army tasked with taking down the vampiric forces. And what better way to track vampires than by using vampires?

Created by Lieutenant General Nakajima, this unit has historically been in the business of information war, but has been re-assigned to solve the vampire crisis.

Code Zero’s members include:

Yoshinobu Maeda – Captain of Code Zero and the “most powerful human”

Shutaro Kurusu – A-class vampire and rookie on the squad

Tokuichi Yamagami – Smart vampire, not currently ranked

Suwa – A veteran vampire since the Edo era

Takeuchi – D-class vampire and mad scientist with an immortal brain

It’s up to Code Zero and the S-class vampire Deffrot to investigate this increase and put a stop to it before society crumbles.
