Delico's Nursery

A scourge has descended upon vampire society in the form of serial murders. The killings appear unrelated at first glance, but every crime scene has one thing in common: a card left behind, bearing the words "True of Vamp"—the name given to the legendary progenitor of all vampires.

The Vlad Agency, a secret intelligence operation, summons the renowned aristocrat Dali Delico to lead the task force investigating the murders. However, Dali refuses, choosing to focus on raising his children. His old colleagues—Gerhard Fra, Henrique Lorca, and Dino Classico—plead with him to balance his duty to the agency with child-rearing. He agrees on one condition: the other three men must also care for their children during the investigation.

Dali's estate therefore becomes a nursery and the base of operations for the four noble vampires. Meanwhile, a criminal organization Dali knows all too well lurks in the shadows with evil intentions that threaten to cause the collapse of the entire vampire society.

My only real complaint about Delico's Nursery is that it's a prequel to a franchise that is incredibly difficult to access outside of Japan which means certain elements that we're clearly supposed to have a response to don't really come off the correct way if you aren't already a fan of the TRUMP series.

However, overall, I think the show's fantastic. The character designs are gorgeous, the soundtrack is breathtaking, and the worldbuilding and storytelling is, in my opinion, beautifully approached. I do think the show could have done with more than 13 episodes to get everything across, though. It's hard to tell a story with ... intertwining concepts that this series has with only 13 25 minute episodes. It certainly isn't perfect and falls short in the same way a lot of anime do but, once again, I feel a lot of that comes down to the amount of time the creators had to fit everything in.

The characters are all really well developed, both the father group and the children have distinct personalities and each father represents, in a way, very real flaws and struggles that comes with real world parenting. I don't really think there's a single main character I'd describe as unlikeable and the supporting characters are also brilliant and distinctive in their own ways. The character development, though a little abrupt, is tenderly managed. The substory with the villains and the Dhampirs is really fascinating in it's own right as Dhampirs are a concept that are rarely approached properly. Though I will admit the motives of the villains do feel somewhat confusing at first as there is a singular character among them who has his own individual motives which seemingly disrail the initial plan but it does develop decently well.

In the end it's a pretty anime with a gorgeous gothic aesthetic, a beautiful soundtrack, compelling characters, and an entertaining storyline. Maybe not a masterpiece, a concept which is pretty subjective its own right, but definitely an interesting watch.

Mixed Feelings

Delico's Nursery
-after is wife death Delico, Dali decided to care he is children and raising he children on is on because of wife last wise Delico Dali privatize is job over he's children
In vampire society they going series of murder's in society and a card left behind, bearing the words "True of Vamp"—the name given to the legendary progenitor of all vampires.
The Vlad Agency, a secret intelligence operation who protect the vampire and Trump existence of the other people (vampire)
Dali firstly refuse mission at first to do he children caring but His old colleagues—Gerhard Fra, Henrique Lorca, and Dino Classico—plead with him to balance ... his duty to the agency with child-rearing. He agrees on one condition: the other three men must also care for their children during the investigation.
Hence Delico, Dali
House become a nursery for for children who are raising bye theirs bye father's with working mission other side they soon realise raising kid's are not simply as they thought
Every child has is own problems and adult won't understand other side mystery murder's are happening in stressed how Delico, Dali and colleagues going handle both childcare and duties same they it's fun to you will understand is children at emany problem may that adult simply ignore
Anime felling a rollcoster of good and bad boring episode some ep are good later anime felling boring in story' line and later on fell good
Last episode may confused you I not what is going on story
Anime background music nice to hear
There are some good written character other are just ok
Anime are was nice artistic style, especially with that excellent period setting.
Character development bet of form story but
Story point was good to
Watch

This is bad. Like, really bad. Did I watch the whole thing? Yes. Do I know why? No.

I heard that this is the anime adaptation of some original content, and I don’t know if the original is a manga or a stage play by the same name, but either way it fails spectacularly. The writing, scenarios, and overall character motivations are so clunky and awkward. I cannot comment on one specific aspect because the whole script would need to be rewritten.

The one thing it had going, and probably the reason why I ended up finishing instead of DNFing, is the art style was amazing. Although, ... the backgrounds could've used some work, as it’s pretty obvious they just slapped some filters onto a CG background and called it a day.

All in all don’t waste your time. I wanted a wholesome but badass dads kicking butt but also taking care of their children type anime but this was NOT it. If you’re looking for something like that, watch Spy Family or Yakuza Babysitter
