July 10th-16th Week-in-Review

Hi everyone. Wow, it’s definitely bee quite the week in my world. Not only because we’ve been in the prep phase for a big upcoming thing at work, but also because there’s been a lot of other things going on in my world that have left me with a lot of uncertainty, and that’s never fun to have to deal with (don’t worry, I’m personally fine; it has to do with some of the other activities I’m involved with). Luckily I’m still able to distract myself with anime.

I’ve been trying to make a little bit more of an effort to stay caught up on episodes of things I’ve found interesting, so I’ll probably talk about those viewings in these posts unless I feel like they warrant their own for some reason.

Summer 2022 First Impressions – Call of the Night

Streaming: HIDIVE

Episodes: 13

Source: Manga

Episode Summary: Ko Yamori can’t sleep, so rather than stay home and keep trying to catch some elusive Zs, he decides to leave his apartment and walk the streets at night. The city at night is a completely different world – quiet, glowing in the colors of the street lights – and traveling those roads is like discovering an entirely new world. As Ko tries to buy a beer from a vending machine, he’s suddenly approached by a mysterious woman dressed in black who teases him for being underage. She takes him along on her nightly stroll and shows him what her world is like after the sun goes down.

As the hours tick on, she invites Ko back to her apartment to “go to sleep,” which Ko interprets as some kind of overture. He’s not interested in dating but decides to pretend to sleep until he can find a way to leave. But it’s not sexual gratification the woman is after – it’s her next meal. Ko learns that she’s a vampire, and that despite serving as her blood drinking fountain he’s not destined for that same fate. For to become a vampire, he must fall in love with a vampire. Considering his disinterest in love (and the vampires disinterest in creating other vampires) this seems impossible. But with Ko’s “day” life becoming more and more distant and his night life becoming his reality, he decides to take on the challenge of falling in love, and getting his new vampire friend to love him back.
