It’s plotted as tightly as any 2 hour movie and consequently never strays away from the two species’ inherent conflict in finding coexistence. By jamming complex character choices and exciting visual sequences into pretty much every scene, the series rarely suffers from whiplash. Few words are required for this wonderfully tense conflict between Fine’s joyful playing and Momo’s intense fear, so when Momo does explode in anger, it’s both surprising and completely understandable.Īnd with just over 2 hours to work with, Studio Wit moves the story along at a breakneck pace, breathlessly shifting from a gritty war movie to an us-against-the-world road trip, back to a tragedy, and so on. There’s an inherent distrust between the two, best shown when Fine attempts to disarm Momo with a bop on the piano. The action-packed battles are spectacularly animated, breathlessly depicting the gruesome reality of armed (and winged) combat, but the real draw is watching Momo and Fine’s relationship develop and rapidly evolve in highly charged emotional scenes. When the two meet on the battlefield, they form an unlikely bond and strike out in search of paradise. Yikes! Both Momo and Fine feel out of place in their respective worlds and yearn for peaceful coexistence. The vampires live opulently in aristocratic splendor, while the humans are just barely hanging on under military rule that strictly forbids engaging in vampiric activities, like singing and watching movies. Meanwhile, Fine is the queen of the vampires, but refuses to drink blood. Momo is a low-ranking soldier in humanity’s last army, but she is unwilling and unable to kill her enemies in combat.
