I really enjoyed Fortune Arterial. Apparently, that's a controversial thing to say. Who cares if this was during "twilight" era, whatever that means. Anime in this time had a lot of experimental stories too, especially in the supernatural genre. Thus, today this kind of anime actually stands out because not many these days go for a "highschool with vampire" theme. Isn't that ironic? Yet we bash this anime, because of that, but we all know it's just because of this anime's release.

The saying goes, some anime are just too soon for their own good.
This anime was very enjoyable. I enjoyed everything from the ... uniforms to the characters to the unraveling world as the main character learned more.

I'd say, each episode felt like a standard anime show, so I was never discouraged to stop watching. The real reason why I really like this anime personally is because I loved how the characters lingered in my head, each with their impression personalities.

That and the ending of the show is a really sweet appeal in romance. I wasn't expecting such a light-hearted story to really be sincere. I liked this. I wish it had more seasons and maybe more iconic ost tracks. That's really all it needs.
8/10, would watch again.

It was an alright story.

The story progression was messed up, and the plot was all over the place.

Could have had this run for a few more episodes to bring the story together.

The MC especially Erika and Kouhei needed more substance and character development.
The theme was well picked up, on vampires and the school setting was great but depth in each character was major missing.

Introducing a rivalry for Sendou could have had maybe a better impact on the storyline.
...
In the end, the anime leave the viewers with mixed feelings, and sadly the anime did not get another season, now we know why.

A boy returns to an island to study, as fed up of being transferred around everywhere his family works, breaking up friendships,s and never really settling anywhere. After meeting some new friends and reacquainting with some older friends from about 7 years before, he gets pulled onto the student council after discovering vampires are part of the school and student council.

Despite being warned not to trust the brother our MC of course runs t his summons at the student council buildings before being given the choice of potentially losing all his memories or joining the school council.

The plots transparent sadly of the brother ... wanting a dependent for his sister, as he is comfortable drinking from victims and then erasing their memories. His sister however wants to remain as human as possible, with the impossible dream of just feeding of transplant blood.

As expected, she fights the urge, eventually feeds on the MC as was manipulated from the beginning, and then tries to avoid the MC after as the nearer she is to him, the worse the urge to a dysfunctional level she will drain him dry. Stil the brother tries to manipulate the situation to get the MC to give him life and shreds of humanity to be her dependent or feeding bitch/slave. With the MC, just continuing towards it, until Erika, goes home for the last penultimate episode in an attempt to stave of the urges.

It's a bit harem style as a few girls surround him, not the usual vampire tale and very transparent on the brother's motives from start, with underlying tips of romance which the MC denies is like with Erika, but is it just denial, is it just want as shown through the anime of someone just trying to please everyone. For me it fitted as a time filler, but not anything i would go back too
