What do you think when you heard the word “vampire”. In Ms. Vampire Who Lives in My Neighborhood, a “vampire” is depicted as a cute girl who tries to live in peace and becomes nervous when interacting with a human, unlike the usual legend where the vampire is a scary being who hunts humans.

In its first episode, the comedy in Ms. Vampire Who Lives in My Neighborhood mostly comes from the juxtaposition between the expectations of how a vampire should act and how Sophie actually behaves. In this story, Sophie is a vampire who wants to live peacefully with humans, and to achieve this, she does many things that will be weird if it is actually done by a vampire. She does not want to suck blood directly from a human because she does not want other people seeing her as a pervert. She also blames her nature as a creature of the night as the reason why she likes anime (in Japan, most anime is broadcasted midnight). Meanwhile, Akari is a typical cute good natured character from a Cute Girls Doing Cute Things (CGDCT) anime. She has her own eccentricity, as she is extremely obsessed with doll.

As the first simulcasted anime in Indonesian streaming service Ponimu, Ms. Vampire Who Lives in My Neighborhood is more directed to the fans of CGDCT anime. If you are are looking for that kind of genre, this anime is recommended.
