RH Plus (2008)

While I admit the story line is extremely cheesy in some places, it is just as sweet and touching in others. The relationship between the characters is incredibly well depicted. This is not an indepth story...if you want that go look at Vampire Prosecutor. But neither should you pass it by. Once you get into the story, it's very entertaining and interesting. The characters grow on you with each episode, and you are rooting for their family by the end. Some of the vampire parts are silly, but it was the best for its time. I would actually be as likely to re-watch this as I would be to re-watch Vampire Prosecutor (and in fact I have re-watched this show a couple times). It's short, and is a great just sit back and watch show.

The storyline of this drama series was extremely and ridiculously cute and I looked forward to each and every episode with a smile. Nothing starts getting too serious till later episodes (since the eps are only 20 minutes long there isn't much space for outstanding rising actions or climaxes) however it was quite relaxing to watch this drama as things were quite predictable in the end.

As for casting and acting that was uhhh...cute is the only word that comes to mind. It's almost overly-cute and anime-like but still enjoyable. I didn't know any of the cast before watching this, and was satisfied with the acting I saw from them (mainly because it was cute).

Overall, I'd recommend this series to anyone who wants to watch a simple and short drama yet is not expecting much at the same time.

Whoa buddy. This series was....uh...well...um... Originally I wanted to watch this because I find vampires interesting. However this series did not hold my interest. The story was good, but the mega-cheese acting decided to show up in full-force and I could not handle it! Normally I can deal with a little cheese-ball acting but there was so much of it that I literally had to drag myself through the show. I wanted to drop the series so badly but I felt like I might be missing out on a great story if I stopped. Once I completed the show I felt that I possibly wasted my time. Oh well. If you like cheesy acting, embarrassing special effects, and a random (sometimes confusing) storyline then you should watch the show. If you don't enjoy those things I would definitely pass on this one.

A Sugary Sweet Vampire Drama

RH Plus was a show filled with a level of sugar sweet high school tropes, which undeniably left more questions than answers by the ending of the drama. In the beginning of the drama, the show focuses upon Makoto moving into a new residence , revealing that everyone ( including himself ) are all secret vampires. Now, the one thing which I did always feel as though this show could’ve gone into more depth around is the existence of vampires outside of the mansion. Whilst the script writers did have the benefit of being able to focus upon the centralised lives of Makoto and the other residents, there were many elements from the pasts of the characters which felt disjointed within the show, particularly the secret revelation behind Makoto’s parentage and of course, the head, Kiyoi’s past as the oldest vampire well. The latter, ironically being a major part of the series, however, there was little reason or explanation as to why Makoto’s mother and father ended up together in the first place and of course, why both parents made their decisions in the plot as well which would of course influence Makoto’s mental state for a major proportion of the series. This leads us to the next biggest problem . The unanswered questions. Naturally, a show can go through never answering these questions for viewers, however, there was little actual indication towards a sense of emotional appeal or relatability with most of the characters. Not least is the parentage of Makoto never truly brought to light in the series or shown to actually affect Makoto after the revelation, but, there are also so many questions regarding Makoto ‘s abilities as well which didn’t feel disclosed for viewers. Similarly, it would have been just as intriguing to have known more about Kiyoi’s past especially his path to vampirism. This leads us to another big snag in the series. How are vampires created? Now, this more of a general nag than anything else, but it felt a little annoying as to the fact that none of the characters were exposed towards if they had been presumably human or vampires their entire lives. Presumably, they were human once from Kiyoi’s comments, however, this also would lead to the more moral questions such as the youngest Ageha, and how these characters dealt with the pain and heartbreak of having to leave their human lives behind, something which just was dealt with at all in a show about vampires.

Ну, не знаю. Вампиры какие-то неправильные категории лайт. Живут, по школам ходят, борются с преступниками, но при этом едят что и обыкновенные люди, ходят на солнце и т.д. и т.п. Правильно- нефиг заморачиваться. Даже кровушка на съемках и не пыталась не выдать в себе томатного сока. Ну как и было в описании - в наличии трудное детство и легкий шоненай для затравки. Вот такой нетипичный японский трэшак. И море смазливых парней.
