Netflix: Anime tip – That’s what Vampire in the Garden is all about
No template and no well-known franchise: Actually, series projects like Vampire in the Garden are already doomed to failure by these two things. Because viewers usually don’t like surprises – not even in the area of anime. It is therefore a real surprise that Studio WIT, known for Attack on Titan, still tries to make an original concept a success. The series definitely got a good jump start with the creative team behind Vampire in the Garden.
Ryoutarou Makihara (Summer Wars, Empire of Corpses) is directing with Hiroyuki Tanaka (Claymore), character designs are by Tetsuya Nishio (Boruto – Naruto the Movie), and art direction is by Shunichiro Yoshihara (Attack on Titan). Nothing can really go wrong with that, right?
Vampire in the Garden is not Attack on Titan 2.0
The fact that some of the minds behind Attack on Titan are involved in Vampire in the Garden can be seen to some extent from the initial situation in which the characters find themselves at the beginning. After the vampires conquered the earth in a cold winter, the last remnants of the

Humanity in a city surrounded by a wall of light. This protects them from the bloodthirsty vampires. As a reminder, in Attack on Titan, it’s giant titans who have pushed humanity back into a final city surrounded by a huge wall of stone.
From there it all goes in a different and very interesting direction. Because during an attack on the city of humans, the young Momo meets the vampire queen Fine. Momo is supposed to fight the vampires but really wants to learn to play the violin, which is forbidden in the human world. Fine, for her part, is fed up with the constant fighting and would like to live in peace, but the other vampires won’t let her. They were supposed to kill each other, but Momo and Fine discover they have a lot in common. So they set off to search for a place where vampires and humans can live together in peace – as they did a long time ago.
Connected through music
Two members of hostile groups who get to know and appreciate each other. The story of Vampire in the Garden is at least as old as Romeo and Juliet. However, there’s still a lot you can do with even the most predictable plots – if the chemistry between

true to the characters. In the case of Vampire in the Garden, it does, a lot! As different as the young Momo and vampire queen Fine are, both are connected from the start by a common passion: music. At first it doesn’t bother that the species to which both belong hate each other to the core.
Because in addition to their love of music, Momo and Fine also want nothing more than that the war between humans and vampires finally ends. So strong feelings that allow the unequal duo to survive some conflicts. That’s why Vampire in the Garden gets down to business emotionally. Momo and Fine suffer, are happy and survive a lot. The whole thing is supported by good animations and many dramatic scenes. As with Castlevania, Japan sinks, and other projects, Netflix is showing it has a knack for anime and animation – as long as it’s not about

live-action adaptations of the same goes.
Is season 2 coming?
With just five episodes, all of which are around 30 minutes long, there isn’t much to see about Vampire in the Garden at the moment. Since there is also no manga or anything similar as a template, fans of the series can only hope that Netflix will release a second season soon. Whether there will be, is currently in the stars. Netflix has neither confirmed a second season nor ended the series. It probably depends on the numbers that Vampire in the Garden will deliver and whether Netflix likes them. A second season would definitely be exciting. Not least because of a post-credits scene that leaves the door wide open for a continuation of the story.
