In the Clear Moonlit Dusk Episodes 10-12 (sub) (complete). Finally got a chance to finish this. I loved this anime; Yoi is seriously beautiful even with her tomboy-ish looks. The only drawback was that she was way too hesitant throughout the entire series - I just wish the romance would have advanced a bit quicker and further. Hoping for a second season with this one, since it did appear to be a decently popular series, ranking anywhere from 16th to 31st out of about 65 anime for the Winter season.

Call of the Night S2 ep9-12
Hmm. In the end, I think they were a little quick to establish that Mejiro isn’t actually a direct threat to any of the vampires. The idea of her committing revenge-suicide was certainly an unexpected twist, but I don’t feel like the show quite sold me on either the seriousness of that or the idea that she was actually a tragic figure all along. For the most part, I thought they did a good job of building her up from a leering villain into a more complicated character, so it was just a shame they couldn’t quite stick the landing there.
But yes, on the whole, I quite enjoyed this season; I thought it did better at navigating between comedy and drama than s1. Maybe it’s recency bias, but I might even go as far as to say I prefer Call of the Night to Monogatari, which it very much resembles,
I gather the manga continues on beyond where this season ended, but even if we never get more of the anime, I think that was a good place to end it.
