Tsuki to Laika to Nosferatu promo video gives insight into the anime

On the official website of the upcoming anime adaptation of Keisuke Makino's fantasy light novel series "Tsuki to Laika to Nosferatu" (Moon, Laika, and the Bloodsucking Princess), a two-minute promotional video has been released. In the video, the two main characters, Irina Luminesque, voiced by Megumi Hayashibara, and Lev Lepus, voiced by Kouki Uchiyama, share their thoughts on their roles. The video also offers a preview of the anime's opening song, "Hi no Tsuki" (Crimson Moon) by Ali Project.



Message from Megumi Hayashibara:

At first glance, this story seems full of fantasy elements. Please pay attention to the ugliness and foolishness of humans behind the dreams and hopes of space development. Race and species. It seems to me that this is a strongly colored message to today's world in the form of vampires. This corona disaster... Even though we all share the same pain and worries, there is still discrimination here and there. I have become Irina, and I can see the foolishness and kindness of people from Irina's perspective. I am curious about what you will see.

Message from Kouki Uchiyama:

My character, Lev Leps, is a young man who has longed to fly since childhood and now aims to become an astronaut. One day, he is tasked with training 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 view it in light of the history of space development in reality. And how can two different species, a human and a vampire, work together to reach space? Do not miss the struggles of Lev and his friends, such as how an individual faces the circumstances of a nation.
