Two Main Characters Share Their Thoughts in TV Anime Tsuki to Laika to Nosferatu Main PV

The official website for the forthcoming TV anime adaptation of Keisuke Makino's fantasy light novel series Tsuki to Laika to Nosferatu (Moon, Laika, and the Bloodsucking Princess) has posted a two-minute main PV for its October 2021 premiere in Japan.

In the clip, each of the two main characters, Irina Luminesque played by Megumi Hayashibara (Rei Ayanami in the Evangelion series) and Lev Lepus by Kouki Uchiyama (Banagher Links in Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn) reveal their thoughts and feelings. In addition, the video also introduces the voices of the three other main characters - Anya Simonyan by Hina Kino (Yuu Matsumoto in Wataten!: An Angel Flew Down to Me), Mikahil Yashin by Satoshi Hino (Ainz Ooal Gown in Overlord), and Roza Plevitskaya by Mikako Komatsu (Setsuna in Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon), as well as the OP theme song "Hi no Tsuki" (Scarlet Moon) by ALI PROJECT.

Message from Megumi Hayashibara:

At first glance, this story seems to be full of fantasy elements. Please pay attention to the ugliness and stupidity of human beings behind the dreams and hopes of space development. Race and species. It seems to me that this is a strongly-colored message to the world today in the form of vampires. This corona disaster.... Even though we all share the same pain and worries, discrimination is still occurring here and there. I have become Irina, and I can see the stupidity and kindness of human beings that I can see from my perspective as Irina. I wonder what you will see.

Message from Kouki Uchiyama:

My character, Lev Leps, is a young man who has longed to fly since he was a child, and is now aiming to become an astronaut. One day, he is ordered to train a vampire girl, Irina Luminesk, as a pilot. This is a fictional story set in a fictional country, but I think it would be interesting to watch it in light of the history of space development in reality. And how do two different species, a human and a vampire, work together to reach space? Please don't miss the struggles of Lev and his friends, such as how an individual confronts the circumstances of a nation.

An advance online screening for the anime's first two episodes is set to be held on Stagecrowd from 19:00 on September 4, 2021 (JST). Megumi Hayashibara, Kouki Uchiyama, Hina Kino, and director Akitoshi Yokoyama will join its after talk session. The ticket price is 1,500 yen (13.6 USD).

Its story centers on a vampire girl who is taken for a manned flight experiment during the space race between fictional superpowers, and a young man who flunked out as an astronaut candidate for some reason, and follows their journey together into space.

Akitoshi Yokoyama (Cutie Honey Universe) is attached to direct, alongside character designer Hiromi Kato (Monster Girl Doctor) and art director Yuji Kato (Little Witch Academia). The novel author Keisuke Makino himself serves as series composition writer, Arvo Animation (We Never Learn: BOKUBEN) works on anime production.
