DVD 4 - Human or Vampire
Actually, labeling this a “romantic comedy” is, at times, a misnomer, as through this block of episodes the storytelling takes itself seriously more often than not. It never turns dark, or stoops to melodrama, but the comical spurts have become less frequent. They are still fully effective, however, and the introduction of Elda offers a wealth of new opportunities for good jokes. In fact, Elda's appearance in episode 15 is perfectly-timed in general, as it energizes the story before its “I like him, but I can't admit that even to myself” routine fully passes its freshness date. A properly mischievous character is one thing that the story has been lacking, and Elda certainly offers that. Her presence also allows a convenient excuse to seamlessly work in more vampire background information – and pay careful attention to the backstory Elda tells in episode 16, as its details will become particularly relevant in future volumes.
