Call Of The Night “Night Flight” Review
Call Of The Night “Night Flight” is the first episode of the anime adaption of the 2019 manga series. The anime is being animated by Liden Films Studio. After rejecting a classmate’s love confession, 14 year old Ko Yamori becomes increasingly depressed. Unable to sleep at night, he takes to wandering the streets at night. He meets with a beautiful girl named Nazuna, who identifies his night time restlessness as lack of satisfaction with life and decides to help him find it again. Taking him to her apartment to sleep, she insists they share a bed. Nervous, Yamori pretends to be deeply asleep. Nazuna reveals herself as a vampire and sucks his blood, finding him to be unusually tasty. Yamori confronts her but she assures him he will not become a vampire, as the only way for a human to become a vampire is to fall in love with a vampire and then have that vampire bite them. This confession embarrasses her so she drinks a beer. Yamori is relieved, but then disappointed once again. Unable to face returning to normal life and believing he has found something to finally excite him, he asks to spend more time with Nazuna with the goal of falling in love so he can become a vampire as well. While reluctant, Nazuna agrees to spend more nights together in exchange for his blood, and if he happens to fall in love with her, so be it.
Becoming A Vampire
This was such a good opening episode! Ko is brilliantly written as he’s sick of society in a way but not in the typical “I’m tired of the pretence” way. He’s not socially awkward, he’s incredibly smart which leads him to a life changing conclusion on his life, which then leads to his meeting with Nazuna, who enchants him. Whilst his decision to become a vampire may seem like a snap decision of someone who is just desperate for something to make them feel alive, it’s obvious Ko’s thought about it and deeply too.
Plus, the two main characters are precious and hilarious and I love them so much!
