YMMV / Vampire in the Garden

• So Okay, It's Average: The critical consensus is pretty much that the art, voice acting, and world-building are well done, but the script is predictable, and the pacing of the story feels underdeveloped and goes way too fast. It's not bad by any means, but it isn't anything new.
• Too Bleak, Stopped Caring: The series is drowning in non-stop misery, violence, and tragedy. Most of the characters are apathetic, cruel, or downright violent towards one another, there's very few moments of levity, and to top it all off, the main characters' journey winds up being completely in vain, with the revelation that Eden never existed at all, Fine dies in the end, the conflict between the vampires and humans continues with no end in sight, and Momo is right back where she started. It's somewhat offset as Momo is seen living happily years later in a community made up of vampires and humans, with the ending narration implying it's a community she built herself, and the overall message being that no matter how bleak it might look you have to keep going and 'create your own Eden'.
