Listen to me: sexy vampire daddy. That’s it. This is the premise Delico Nurseryor at least it has been since the first episode. Yeah, well, there’s another plot about the ridiculous remix of Trump – that’s what vaMP is really about, I can’t help but think TRAMP would have worked better – and a serial murder case, but that’s pretty much not that interesting.

Our hero, Dally Delico, is part of a secret league of vampire agents apparently tasked with solving crimes that the Blood Police can’t handle, the Vlad Agency, but he’s also a widower who turns to his (murdered?) ) The wife assures him that he will take care of their children, and that he knows exactly which task he is investing more in. His male friends at Vlad’s agency didn’t like his answers, so Dally made a deal with them: If they would, he would work on the case. Thus, a cover for their investigation was born, along with a very interesting premise: a father raising a child while working.

I admit I’m being more sarcastic than strictly necessary here. I am the daughter of a very involved father who often took me and my sisters to work and took us on adventures on weekends and school holidays, I firmly believe fathers should be involved in raising their children but I also recognize the situation That’s not always the case, at least in terms of social expectations. and Delico Nursery Obviously, the story is set in a 19th-century world—and a beautiful world at that. I absolutely loved the setting in this episode, from the baroque architecture to the furniture to the level of Victorian clutter in each room. The animation is a little too fluid in places it shouldn’t be, such as the movement of the carriage, but the gorgeous quality of the visuals really works for me and the story so far.

The selling point, at least plot-wise, seems to be that Dally wants to make a real point or two to his fellow Vlad agents. Yes, he has a responsibility to the vampires and the country, but he also has a responsibility to his family, and he’s far more invested in raising toddlers Raphael and baby Ur than he is in finding a serial killer. There may be some debate about how catching the killer ultimately helped his children, but Dalí made a promise to the late Frida and he would keep it. He also hinted that he thought his colleagues were missing out and being stupid for not being involved in raising their children — something they all share. When Gerhard tries to silence a crying baby by glaring at him, and Enrique looks like he’s handing him a grenade instead of a bottle of milk, it’s clear: these guys are in name only ‘s dad. Dally wanted them to know exactly what they wanted from him by telling him to work while raising the kids, and I feel like he probably also wanted them to understand why he wanted to take care of the kids himself. That’s enough to get me interested in watching the second episode – it’s not quite Vampire X Family, but I’m rooting for one of the guys trying to be a badass investigator to get puked or peed on.

Here’s a very interesting idea. We’ve all seen countless vampire stories where they’re brooding and dark, usually involved in some kind of gothic shenanigans, and if you’ve seen anything similar, the opening minutes of this episode will be nothing new. Vanitas case study. It turns out that the twist of events is that in addition to all the familiar formulas, our beautiful vampire men also have to take care of their young child, as Dali Delico’s dead wife demands that he give their child all the love, And he accepted that meant becoming an involved parent. It’s a cool idea that I kind of want to see more of, but in its execution, this episode left me a little too cold to get excited about.

For the most part, this is how the second half of the episode loops. Dally’s fellow vampire cops want him to devote himself to their latest mission, which Dally refuses because he wants to spend more time with his sons, which the others tell him is ridiculous. This exact scene would play out about five times before the credits rolled, and only in the final iteration would anything be completed. Dali’s bond with his children isn’t fleshed out much here either – their interactions boil down to putting the kids down for naps and feeding their newborns bottles. Without a more personal family connection, the premise doesn’t really land emotionally. There are still some interesting things to be said about raising children, especially in challenging the idea that men are “above” menial tasks like changing diapers and relating to children in any way. I’m not too convinced that these ideas will be explored based on how this episode progresses.

And then there’s the visuals, which are very striking, but I’m worried they’ll start to melt away as the seasons go on. The show has been delayed by a month, and while the first episode looks good, its style and ambition rarely endure in the current production bubble. I love the thin lines on the characters that make them feel soft and inviting while also blending in beautifully with the heavily filtered background art. A lot of effort went into capturing the atmosphere of the Delico mansion and estate, as well as the overall fashion choices. There isn’t a ton of dynamic animation, but strong editing and storyboarding make the episode’s riffs visually compelling.

However, the biggest stumbling block for me to watch more is that I really don’t like being around a bunch of noisy kids, and this episode had multiple scenes with loud, prolonged crying babies. I just don’t want to sit down and see if this show has a convincing case for vampire paternity leave. If you have a stronger tolerance for crying babies, or if incredibly hot bat daddies are more attractive, then you have a lot of potential for a great time.
