Ms. Vampire who lives in my neighborhood is a short 12 episode anime based around the central concept of a vampire and a schoolgirl living together. I started watching it because I was told it has a focus on vampire culture: books, games and general vampire lore. I'd be remiss to not acknowledge the gay 'undertones' the show presents, you cannot not notice them, either way there isn't much to get from this if you just want yuri, it is one of few lesbian vampire stories but again there's very little lesbianism here beyond implications and the protagonist Akari, just Akari in general really. I took a long hiatus while watching it because it was too overbearingly sweet, "Ms. Vampire who lives in my neighborhood" is, of course supposed to be a sweet lovey-dovey cutesy anime but it doesn't come…

I really enjoyed this anime. I found it when looking for similar anime to YuruYuri. After having completed Tonari no Kyuuketsuki-san I would say that I actually like this more. It is not as funny by a long way but the relationship between Sophie and Akari really resonated with me and seemed somewhat more realistic. It feels more like a romance.
As the shoujo-ai genre goes, I think of this as one of the best I have seen. Not too serious, not sad or full of drama. It is light hearted, funny but has some real warmth.
This a slice-of-life comedy with little plot other than the development of a relationship between Akari, a school-girl with a love of dolls and Sophie, a vampire who despite being several hundred years old still retains the appearance a girl of Akari's age.

Overall: 6/10 - I thought it was super cute. It’s definitely not something I’m raving about that everyone has to watch, but I wouldn’t steer anyone against it.
Art: 6/10 - I like the design and art, but it’s not really anything special. I think the art is fine, it’s cute, but it’s really just that.
Characters: 7/10 - I do adore these characters, I thought they were super appealing when I first started the show, and I don’t think they’re bad at all. The excitement didn’t stay strong the entire time, but I never dreaded seeing anyone at all.
Storytelling: 6/10 - It’s slice of life and CGDCT, there’s not really a story to tell. It’s mostly funny situations these girls get into, and I like how they interact and how these problems are displayed and occur. It doesn’t feel ham-fisted, but I th…

Tonari no Kyuuketsuki-san is a 2018 anime from Gokumi and Axsiz based off of a manga by Amatou. I have seen some Gokumi anime before. The dreadful Crime Edge was one of theirs. So were the enjoyable A-Channel & Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru. So, hopefully this will be more like those two and less like Crime Edge.
Story:
Our narrative opens simply enough. Some girls are discussing some rumours of a "Doll Mansion" where a living doll rises and wanders around at night. Amano Akari decides to investigate since she loves dolls so dearly only to discover the truth. The doll is actually Sophie Twilight, an immortal vampire. Akari becomes friends with Sophie and decides to move into her house, with her parents' permission, of course.
The whole series is based off of taking these ageless, blood…

I'm a bit of a fan of trashy moe shows, and this is without a doubt one of those. It also has its fair share of yuri elements too, but it isn't as good as a show like yuru yuri in that aspect. This was a nice, cute show, but the promise it showed in the beginning turned out to be a little false. It kind of slows down in quality around the halfway mark, and after that it's mostly recycled jokes. It's a cute show that made me chuckle at least once per episode though, so I can't give it too low of a score. If you like bad moe shows, you will like this, if you are someone who needs something high quality to enjoy, you probably won't like this.

Recommendation: This series is pure slice of life fluff, but very good at what it does. Give it a watch if you like cute girls doing cute things.
Ms. Vampire is very much in the vein of shows like Yuru Yuri and Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid. It's cute girls having fun, with some comedy and some teasing of romance that won't ever go anywhere, but mostly you're here for the cuteness. There is no overarching story to speak of whatsoever, it resets back to the status quo at the beginning of each episode in true sitcom style.
It is most definitely cute though, almost overly so even if you like these sorts of shows. The artwork and character designs emphasize cuteness and the various setups and jokes are built around the same. This is both the biggest strength and the biggest weakness of the se…

if you really want to appreciate this series then come into it for cute anime girls, the story they do have in the show is decent but it doesn't develop that much throughout the show, if you like shows that take a cast of interesting characters and put them in interesting situations or even just cute anime girls doing cute things then I'd highly recommend this series as i watch a lot of these types of slice on life shows and its by far my favorite out of all the ones I've seen.
in conclusion if you come in expecting a big grand story you'll be disappointed, but if you like shows with a descent story, cute anime girls', and some nice wholesome moments mixed in with some funny moments then watch this show

I'm gonna ask you one question: Do you like cute shit? Then watch this show.
Most of the show revolves around this really cute little vampire girl who's basically an otaku and meets this one girl in middle school or something in her neighborhood because she wanders off into a forest and accidentally ends up at her mansion. So then the middleschooler wants to be best friends with the vampire and that's basically the whole show. To be honest, the art and animation can seem a little meh at times if you have amazingly high standards but it's still probably better than the anime adaptation of Tokyo Ghoul :re which is funny when you think about it. Mostly everything is just like cute and soothing. Watch it if you want something to not think hard about. The plot is kinda dumb if you use too much…

Robert's Too Late Reviews rolling in one more time! This time we're only a year late, I guess I'm starting to fail the 'too late' part of the name, I'll work harder I promise! Today's little ditty about a vampire girl and her human best friend is a charming little series that, as long as you don't mind a layer of sugar-sweetness to your anime, should be an enjoyable ride. If you're familiar, think Kiniro Mosaic but with the supernatural, and you'll be pretty spot on. If middle school/barely high school aged girls romping around doing cutesy things doesn't send you into vomiting fits, you might get a smile and chuckle or two out of this series. Let's dispel some vampire myths!

This was a fun series to watch, enough so that I'm hoping it gets a second season.
This anime takes common vampire tropes and mashes them into slice of life comedy in it's own unique way. Paired with characters that each have their own quirks and you have an enjoyable experience for all 12 episodes.
The art and animation are all very good. The bright colors match the tone and there never feels like there's a jarring moment that doesn't fit.
The VA's are fine, but the music just didn't work for me sometimes. Otherwise, very good.
There's not too much more to say, I don't think it brings anything new to the slice of life genre at all. In fact, I was waiting to see how they were going to come up with a creative way to get around the obligatory beach episode, only to have an obligatory beac…

If you know and like Yuru Yuri, this series might be rare treat for you – a genuine shoujo-ai comedy with a lot of lighthearted "romance" and amusing gags. It follows a high school freshman, Amano, who gets infatuated with Sophie, a centuries-old loli vampire living in her neighbourhood. Sophie, being a recluse and a bit quirky (but also a very polite and genuinely kind person), is initially put off by Amano's pushy attitude, but gradually starts appreciating the new companionship in her previously lonely life and possibly even returning some of the Amano's feelings. Soon, two other characters show up – Amano's classmate who clearly has a crush on her and a vampire girl from Sophie's past, who pretty much considers herself Sophie's partner (although her feelings seem highly unrequited). Al…

I’ll be honest, I’m really biased when it comes to these types of anime. Cute monster girls doing cute things? Say no more. I’ll marathon the hell out of it. Ms. Vampire Who Lives in My Neighborhood (Or as I’ll call it, Vampire Neighbor) is no exception. This is no Demi-chan wa Kataritai. It won’t hit as deep as it and it won’t show as much character development, but it still has similar levels of cuteness and enjoyment. I use Demi-chan as a comparison because I really do see it as the quintessential monster girl anime. Vampire Neighbor delivers a really fun experience without any true low points or lapses in enjoyable moments. From beginning to end, you’ll be smiling and getting that sense of peace and tranquility that many Slice of Life anime give. It’s not exactly something that will co…

Amano Akari is a high school girl with some strange tastes and hobbies. She loves things occult and gothic, and is especially fond of collecting dolls that other people find extremely eerie. That’s not to say Akari is “a goth,” or “emo”—she is cheerful, excitable, energetic, and expressive. What other people find scary, she finds cute. So, imagine how this oddball reacts when she meets a real vampire—the attractive Sophie Twilight. It’s not long before Akari has moved in with her beloved vampire friend! (Slice-of-Life, Vampire, Comedy, hints of Shoujo Ai.)
Story: 5/10
It being a slice-of-life without any real romance or serious drama, the anime does not have a central plot. This was a letdown for me because, while watching, I constantly imagined how much better the show would be with ev…

after just watching the 12th episode I can say that I enjoyed EVERY bit of this show.
the story is cool and different and totally new to me. I've watched a good number of vampire anime and this one is: moe, entirely cute, shojo ai (all girl cast), slice of life with HighSchool girls (and two 300+ year old vampire girls who look like they're in Junior High), and VERY FUNNY! with some SERIOUS yuri ROMCOM, and slapstick comedy moments. there's serious moments (treated with comedy). there's goofy otaku 'inside jokes' since one of the vampire girls is a SERIOUS collector of manga, figures, light novels, anime on disk (as well as just watching broadcast TV shows). plus she's QUITE the savvy online shopper and is fairly-kinda-sorta well adjusted to living in 'the modern era' with technology com…

Tonari no kyuuketski-san/ Ms.Vampire who lives in my neighborhood is a delightful slice of life series with yuri and a bit of supernatural element as one the mc being a Vampire Loli, yes indeed.

I've watched a lot of CGDCT. I've also enjoyed a lot of CGDCT. While the best shows are able to not only be cute and provide wonderful characters who are a complete joy to watch but also provide something more to it, something that resonates and feels noteworthy, the mediocre shows usually manage to do some gags and have some fun but not excel with their characters or the things built with them. Vampire is in a weird middle ground. It's characters are good but not great, and the fun they have is decent but also not exceedingly cute and fun. And the show manages to both be insightful while also being fairly gimmicky and bland at other others.
The interest point of Ms. Vampire is the different lifespans of humans and Vampires. This is a big point of the show and something that it explores i…

Tonari no Kyuuketsuki-san is a nice slice of life CGDCT. It is not wildly humorous, it is not filled with fan service all over the place, and it does not have any big overarching story around it. It a nice simple slice of life with four girls as our main cast. The story is that Akari meets a vampire while wandering around the woods. She gets to know the vampire, Sophie, and decides to live with her.
We have 4 main characters and 2 lesser characters. The main characters are Akari, Sophie, Hinata, and Ellie. Akari is fond of dolls and keeps a lot with her. Upon meeting Sophie, she instantly falls in love with her doll-like appearance. This leads to her sometimes doting on Sophie, sometimes to Sophie's annoyance. Sophie is a 360-year-old vampire. She is generally calm and she is an otaku. Sh…

Regardless of how I approach shows about vampires these days, I often try to keep my expectations low. It’s not uncommon that so many vampire tropes relates with horror fiction, romance relationships, and survival dramas. Most of them feels like watching some cartoon with defiled couples in a telenovela. However, watching Tonari no Kyuuketsuki-san (Ms. Vampire Who Lives in my Neighborhood) gave me a different impression.
Based on a 4-koma, this anime is easy to recommend but not may not be so easy to appreciate. It’s essentially a slice of life series that focuses more on making fun of the otaku and vampire culture rather than a complex story. I’d say the plot is forgivable at best with each episode tying the overall themes together. But really, don’t try to look for any sort of real stor…
