This week's episode, episode 4 address these non humans that live longer than humans case, more clearly and to the point than the entire Frieren series did as a whole and that is that series main point. This more of the side issue in this series.

Episode 11

I was thinking the show was suddenly getting a lot more serious in the second to last episode, a bunch of hunters out to stop them all, and it hit me when the hunter vampire was on the roof of the car. For a show about a YouTube channel that does pretty much everything, Masaki mentioning all her ideas for the last month, there was particular genre of video that had been left out. A prank. They are doing a prank video to show how good of a friend she is, and may have gotten some outside help where they can play off all the vampire stuff as part of the prank.

Actually kind of deflated everything when I made the realisation after car chase. And a little surprised that it didn't tip its hand too much when Masaki was noticing all the cameras that were put up in the hospital, because they are there to catch her reactions.

Episode 12 (finale)

I guess it is good to not feel crazy.

But a bit of a surprise was the Mother actually seems fond of Masaki, being aware that her and Live did have a connection.

I enjoyed the show, the social media element being a fun part, actually being one of two show featuring content brained YouTubers.
