Personally I thought it was a pretty good anime, not the best, but defenitley worth watching. Lots of emotion, good fight scenes, and the story overall was interesting and dark enough to where I watched the entire show. I agree though, I believe it's an underrated anime, which is a shame, because it's one of the few shows that does vampires right.
