My only real gripe with it so far is really a matter of personal taste but I'm just a bit tired of vampire-human collaboration plots being like "Lmao these dumbass moron humans are so dumb they think they're on the team."

It's nice and simple yeah but I just think it would be neat if there was a plot where its not like the human collaborators are either personally enthralled or being completely rused by the vampires. I don't think it hits that hard when the ruling class/collaborators are also going to be victims of the vampires.

My favorite moment is probably Richter bullshitting about how magic is fancy and cool but good ol fashioned skill and practice with normal weapons works fine for him thank you very much, and then he gets his magic back and its a comically huge power boost to him, absolutely night and day between how useful he is with and without magic.

Really loving the magic overall, Sypha had some of the coolest stuff in the original show so Im happy there's even more here, and so many different styles of it.

Ngl I liked that subplot as an example of capital/old power structures siding with fascism/empire to preserve itself during a revolution

It's definitely a good concept, I just feel like it skews a bit much into the old power structures being oblivious/irrational about the consequences rather than a more calculated and deliberate evil.
