Happy Queer Media Monday!

Today: Vampire in the Garden (2022)

Very beautiful anime, very underrated.

(Fine and Momo, playing music together.)

Vampire in the Garden is a five-episode Yuri anime on Netflix. It is set in a brutal world where humans and vampires fight a bitter war against one another. One of the anchor points in this fight is music, which humans have outlawed and vampires embrace. Having both lost their girlfriend in the fighting, fourteen year-old soldier-in-training Momo and vampire queen Fine get accidentally thrown together, and decide to run away, looking for an almost mythical place where, according to the promise, vampires and humans make music together.

Vampire in the Garden is a very beautiful, tragic story about hatred and trying to fight it in order to build something good together. While it is a show, it feels a lot like a movie cut into separate episodes for Reasons, so it can be watched as both. The relationship between Momo and Fine is a very beautiful and loving one, and can be read as either a romance or as an older lesbian mentoring a young one. Which is how I chose to see it, and I personally very much value this kind of queer relationship, as we don’t see it often in media.

The series is a closed story, and hasn’t been renewed, so it’s safe to assume that it was always meant to be a limited series. From what I gather in the Tumblr tag, it never gathered a very huge fandom, and the feelings on it are rather mixed. People who are interested in the very deep and serious themes seem to generally like it, while the more fanish group, who wanted to see a clear and explicit romance with a happy ending do not.

You can watch the trailer here, and stream the show on Netflix. I have also written a post about lesbian vampires as a subgenre before, if that’s something you’d like to read.

Queer Media Monday is an action I started to talk about some important and/or interesting parts of our queer heritage, that people, especially young people who are only just beginning to discover the wealth of stories out there, should be aware of. Please feel free to join in on the fun and make your own posts about things you personally find important!

vampire in the garden is such a beautiful and breathtaking anime. definitely doomed yuri tho /lh

but srsly i’m not sure if it’s official but i felt very sapphic and queer. and very sad.

5 episodes about a vampire queen and human soldier running away from war to grieve together. they become unlikely allies and in their search for peace, they slowly fall in love.

it so good, very angsty.

Murder drones have taken my brain so much,to where I've made an au already-

Well anywho,here's a drawing I made of Uzu for it^^ (I drew N as well,but I don't like how it turned out all that well(.. ))

And if you couldn't rlly tell,the au is a mix of Murder Drones and Vampire in the garden:3

(I was lazy to try drawing her hands-)

I hope to explain the storyline I have for this and share ideas soon:]
