Fortune Arterial Review

I recently watched an anime known as Fortune Arterial so I will review it. Fortune Arterial was originally a manga and game made by August company. Now in my opinion anime based from August are pretty underrated and I've enjoyed the ones I watched and will be watching more. If you've read my previous Valentines Day posts (2017&2018) or My Endings Rant, many of August adapted anime are on there. Anyway let's get on with the actual anime. So after being made into a manga and game Fortune Arterial was then adapted into a 12-episode anime along with an extra OVA by Zexcs and Feel. Fortune Arterial is a romance, supernatural, vampire anime. Now I liked this anime but there are just a few ways it could be better. Overall I was satisfied with it. Oh yeah I will be talking about the ending a little bit so...

********************************SPOILER ALERT********************************


Summary
Kohei Hasekura, transfers to a prestigious public in the style of an English six-year school encompassing junior-high and high school students. The only way to get to the school is by boat as it is located on an island named Tamatsu Island off-shore from mainland Japan. After transferring he discovers one of the students, Sendo Erika, is in fact a vampire.


My Thoughts
I liked this anime and I feel the ending did satisfy me. It was an interesting story with good content and while I liked it there were some unanswered questions. To me it's not clear if Kohei and Erika become a couple but I think that's for the viewer to decide. To make myself happy I'd say Kohei and Erika are a couple. (Ok I admit I like them as a couple pretty much because Kohei looks like me and Erika is such a beautiful girl). Anyway another unanswered question is what would become of Erika being that she's a vampire.


My Conclusion
I would give this anime 4.5/5 stars or a 9/10 score. While there were some ways this anime could improve I was pretty satisfied with it. If you like supernatural, vampire, or romance then I would recommend Fortune Arterial for you. And I recommend watching the OVA too! Anyway the company August has made visual novels that become great and underrated romance anime and I really wished there were more anime from this company. You might know one known as A Good Librarian Like a Good Shepard (Daitoshokan no Hitsujikai). There are two more underrated anime from August I will review. One is Brighter than the Dawning Blue (Yoake Mae yori Ruriiro na/Crescent Love) which I already watched and plan to watch again as well and it had a great ending which I posted about in My Endings Rant. The other is HaniHani: Operation Sanctuary (Tsuki wa Higashi ni Hi wa Nishi ni: Operation Sanctuary) which I plan on watching and will do a review on it.
