QUICK TAKES

I absolutely adore this animation style. I was rather curious to see how the adaptation of the manhwa would turn out, & the animators at TROYCA did NOT disappoint!!
Sooha is rather interesting, with her vampire hating attitude and a certain special super power.

I can’t help but notice the K-Pop vibes in this anime. The soundtrack and the design were good. It is too early to say something about the plot, but I am hoping that it will be interesting. This is highly recommendable especially to the girls who also love anime and K-Pop.

It's only episode 1, and I'm already hooked + fangirling 🤭 So many great vampire boys. It's refreshing to see chemistry between characters this soon rather than multiple episodes in, like many other romance anime tend to do. Also, the MUSIC?! BANGER. It sets the tone perfectly.

Dang, what a pilot episode, it’s very interesting. This reminds me of an F4 vibe, hahaha. I love the stylish direction. I thought she would be bullied at that school, but the opposite happened. In just one day, she had already made friends. I’m excited for more.

Classic mysterious transfer-student intro. Sooha shows up at Decelis Academy trying to live a normal life, but her weird powers and tragic past make that impossible. The moment she meets Heli and his Nightball squad, you can already feel the supernatural drama brewing.

A strong opening with a mysterious tone. It sets up the supernatural elements and pulls you in quickly.

Animation was too good compared to Manhwa! But some scenes were changed,for eg. Jakah and noa meeting with Sooha! Cuteness of the Characters were animated perfectly!! Good Anime Start!! If you're into Vampires and Werewolves then it's one of the Best Anime to Watch!!!

EPISODE CONTEXT

As the first of twelve episodes, 'New Moon: Meeting' is purely foundational — it introduces the core cast, the enigmatic setting of Decelis Academy, and the show's central tension between the ordinary and the supernatural. No prior context needed; this is your entry point. The next episode, 'Crescent Moon: The Wolves Who Climbed Over the Wall,' begins escalating into overt supernatural territory and deeper character dynamics that this premiere carefully seeds.
