Warning: The following contains spoilers for Vampire Dormitory episode 1!!

Vampire Dormitory introduces a unique twist to vampire mythology, where blood tastes better based on love. This compelling metaphor for the relationship between Ruka and Mito evolves with how well her blood tastes to him, which is an interesting take on many of the staple tropes seen in vampire fiction. Vampire Dormitory challenges gender stereotypes in anime, with Ruka being unaware of Mito's true identity while struggling with his pre-conceived notions about the type of blood he can drink.

The first episode of a new Crunchyroll series called Vampire Dormitory has already introduced a compelling twist to how these eponymous creatures perceive human blood in the already well-established vampire mythos. This unique twist not only showcases one of the more celebrated reasons why anime appeals to so many people, but also mirrors what an underrated vampire romance flawlessly achieved on Hidive.

Call of the Night redefines vampire romance by exploring the complexities of love and desire in a unique and nuanced way. The anime's twist on Western vampire tropes creates a dark and intricate storyline that sets it apart from traditional vampire romances. The series delves deep into the question of what love truly means, pushing the boundaries of typical romance anime for a refreshing and engaging experience.
