Comment on Summer Anime Season Preview Discussion and Thread Requests [2025, Week 26]

Summer season is deadly for me. In the last couple of years I have only time and drive to finish a hand full of shows each season and this time around there are way to many for me that I consider “must watch”. Then there are a bunch that I read the source material of and want to see how it gets adapted. And then there are the shows that just seem to be made for me going by the synopsis. It’s going to seriously eat into my other activities. It’s a first world problem, but a problem nonetheless.
If it’s any comfort to you I picked up the Futari Solo Camp manga for similar reasons and after not even being able to finish the first chapter I can say with some confidence you can skip this one.
::: spoiler Spoilers for the first 2/3 of the first chapter of Futari Solo Camp The two main characters meet when she’s having trouble with her first camping trip so she tells him he has to help her out or she’ll go to the cops and accuse him of sexual assault. I was not impressed.
Oh, yeah. I remember now. Well, I give it at least one episode and see what impression that scene makes to me and how much I like the rest around it.

Have you read the Manga for Call of the Night?

No, only watched season 1 of the anime. Why? Something coming up that I should be aware of? If this is a Usagi Drop situation, I’d rather know beforehand.

End of Call of the Night
let me preface this with: I don't know a single person satisfied with the ending. Also I'm not sure how much of what I'm about to say is already covered in S1 so there might be S2 spoilers here anyway.
If a human doesn't turn into a Vampire within a year they die.
If a vampire sucks the blood of a human they love they turn mortal. Nazuna is a rare born vampire, she didn't turn into one, no one knows whether this rule applies to her.
To turn into a vampire you must be in love with the vampire biting you. At the very end Ko does fall for her. He knows it, she knows it, everyone else knows it. She refuses to suck his blood due to aforementioned unknown. Nothing happens. Like legit nothing.
Ko doesn't turn into a vampire. Ko doesn't die either. For some fucked up reason he just stays a half-vampire without any repercussions.
Nazuna doesn't die either because, as mentioned, she refuses to suck his blood. Instead she just kinda fucks off with Ko at the end seemingly intent on trying to find her. That's it, the end.

Thanks for the info. I think I’m okay with that and will continue watching.
