Irina: The Vampire Cosmonaut
Oshimeter
Synopsis
On November 23, 1957, the whole world witnessed the Federal Republic of Zirnitra's monumental achievement of sending the first live animal—a dog—to outer space. Since then, the space race between the confederacy and its competitor, the United Kingdom of Arnack, has intensified; the two countries hope to one day send humans to the cosmos above. As a dog's biology is inherently different from a human's anatomy, there is no way to perfectly identify the risks involving space travel and its effects on an individual's body without actually sending someone for observation. However, Zirnitra's government has a potential solution: to experiment on vampires, whose biological similarity to humans is too significant to ignore. Despite being forcibly taken from her home in the mountains, vampire Irina Luminesk shows no resistance and is even willing to train as a test subject. Lev Leps, a former top candidate to become the first human cosmonaut, is designated to accompany Irina and act as her guide. Through their time together, Irina and Lev begin to develop a mutual love for outer space, bringing them closer together.

The writing continues to impress as Irina gets sick and then heals from drinking blood. Lev saving Irina also leads to good relationship development .
Lev discards his script and reveals the truth to the world Irina was the true first cosmonaut. The soundtrack in that moment resonates so powerfully that it truly gives you chills.
After all that buildup, Lev finally goes to space, and it feels so earned. But while everyone is celebrating, Irina is stuck in the dark, sobbing.
Irina and Lev finally went on a date, which was cute. Things are cooling down, and the plan to dispose of Irina is slowly dissolving.
Things are starting to heat up. Irina just survived an assassination attempt, and the training is going fine
A chill and relaxing epsiode after irina space arc is finally over we got to see Lev getting a chance to compete for first human astronout spot
Another amazing episode! The writing continues to impress. Irina finally enters space, and we also see Lev care for her, portraying her more like a human.
This episode was lore-heavy; we got a flashback showing how her family died and the village was attacked.
Another great episode, the soundtrack when Irinaa was skating was beautiful,l the pacing seems perfectly smooth, and the writing is consistently perfect
Another great episode, the writing is perfect, and the storywriting looks realistic, showing the world during cold war pefectly
Overall, great episode. It had both funny and heavy moments. Irina, being a tsundere vampire, is cute
The first episode tells you everything about the anime. It's a story about a vampire and a human who want to go to space. The writing and character introduction are wonderful
Lev finally told the world the truth about Irina, and her speech about reaching the moon together felt beautiful and genuine. The finale balanced hope, romance, and politics perfectly, making the ending unforgettable. It shows moments are often built on hidden sacrifices.
Seeing Lev finally reach space was exciting, but the episode kept reminding you of Irina and everything she gave up to make it possible. Their hidden messages felt emotional, and the space scenes looked beautiful and unforgettable. It feels both inspiring and heartbreaking.
Felt quiet, cold, and heartbreaking. Lev and Irina’s separation hurt more because neither of them could openly express their feelings. The reveal about Irina’s real situation was painful, while the ending mixed hope and sadness perfectly. Every scene felt heavy emotionally.
Roza finally felt more human instead of just being a rival, while Irina’s quiet jealousy and loneliness made it hurt even more. The parachute scene was tense, and the cold atmosphere made every moment feel bittersweet. It really made you want to know what will happen next.
Trades action for emotion, and it works beautifully. The quiet distance between Lev and Irina hurts more than any space danger. The winter atmosphere, soft character moments, and growing romance make this one of the warmest and most heartfelt episodes so far.
Ep. 7 is beautiful and emotional the whole way through. Watching Irina finally reach space after everything she went through felt really satisfying. The quiet moments between her and Lev made the episode even stronger, and the snowy ending was simple but heartfelt. I love it!
Feels emotional, tense, and heartbreaking all at once. Irina is treated like a hero in public but still hated behind closed doors, which made her scenes even sadder. Lev and Irina’s quiet moments feel genuine, while the growing danger keeps the whole episode heavy and tense.
Mixes tense space training with touching character moments perfectly. Watching Irina slowly overcome her fears while Lev stays by her side feels really heartwarming. The parachute scenes look amazing, and the political tension makes the story even more gripping.
