It's 1923 and vampires have existed for quite a while. But now, the number of vampires is increasing and a mysterious, artificial blood source called Ascra has appeared. The Japanese government, in turn, creates “Code Zero,” a unit within the army tasked with taking down the vampiric forces. And there's no better way to track vampires than by using vampires.

Watched the first episode of MARS RED the other day, not sure about it yet. It's based on a play, and it's shows on how it's presented. Will have to see a couple of more episodes to see if it's something I want to invest in.

The first episode had a more tragic tone than I normally see in vampire action shows. Likely because this isn't an action show as far as I can tell. Fighting is largely off screen and the focus seems more on the machinations of how the disease effects people? Hard to pin down, but I'm hoping for a bit more meat next episode.
