Netflix has a new vampire anime series coming out titled Vampire in the Garden, and the first trailer has been released for it. The series comes from Wit Studio, who handled the first three seasons of Attack on Titan, and the show takes place in a world where humanity has lost a war against vampires, and they have taken over the world.
Here’s the synopsis for the series:
One cold winter, humanity lost its battle with the vampires, and with it, most of where they called home. A small population of survivors created a wall of light in a small town to protect them and give them a place to live in peace.
The protagonist, Momo, lives a repressed life but still wishes to coexist with the enemy, the vampires. Fine, the vampire queen, once loved humans and disappeared from the battlefield. As war rages through the humans’ town, the two have a fateful encounter.
Once upon a time, humans and vampires lived in harmony in a place called Paradise. This is the story of a young girl and a vampire on a journey to find Paradise.
The series looks like it has a cool visual modern gothic style and it looks like it’ll tell and interesting story. I’m in!

Tetsuya Nishio is designing the characters and serves as chief animation director. Shunichiro Yoshihara (Attack on Titan, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure) is the art director.
