I loved the hunters immediate reaction to eat the food out of the trash can.

[peggsnbacon]

this was adorable!! the colors were super pleasant and the characters were absolutely endearing!

[syaziix]

I love how the monster hunter, Sal, went from trying to hunt down Lou & Lilith to going on a double date with them along with a girl she met at the zoo, it’s adorable <3

The animation overall is amazing and the characters are just absolutely adorable! Super underrated, I’m hoping for this to get more views!

[SkinnaYTA]

The cutest vamp and werewolf couple ever!

[wickerbotterthewizard]

Love the animation and the cute elements of it! Love all the little nods throughout the film about the characters and if there was ever a chance to see more about them I'd love to <3

[allecsgaut]

Figured Lou was going to be a werewolf, especially after she broke the strength meter. And love that the monster hunter fell in love with a cat girl

[earthellie]

This is so fudging adorable. I'd love a series on them.. or a 30-minute short film.. 🥺 🥺

[Insane_clouds]

Love the fact quit her job, she really went "hol on, this monster kinda fine" and then dated said monster. And went on a double date

[glowworm]

I love Lilith's face when she realizes that Lou is also a monster. Lou is such a cute werewolf!

[silliestbilly]

This is by far one of the cutest animations I've ever seen!! The characters are wonderful, the colour scheme is aesthetic, and I absolutely love how expressive and smooth they are. Everyone who worked on this did an amazing job :D

[IAmEvilTree]

I like the foreshadowing of Lou knocking the strength tester game puck into the air.

[madisyngolab]

We love a wholesome vampire + werewolf romance! This was so freakin cute, and I'm so glad it was in my recommended feed!

[davidfiore]

Lou and Lilith make such an adorable couple. They remind me of Lumity.

[coyotix]

1:22 I JUST NOTICED LOU AND LILITH DROPPED THE ROSE AND THE MONSTER HUNTER CRUSHED IT IM GONNA CRY

[SoItsSara]

Omg the way her eyes sparkled when Lou transformed awwww 🥺🥺🥺 this was too sweet!!

[ashahyia]

I love this video. Cause the two monster girls fell in love with each other and they lived happily ever after. And the ending showed the monster hunter having a crush on a monster girl. Love is such a beautiful thing.

[malixcrash]

If it weren't the middle of the night I would have been loudly cheering for these two, even though I may have saw the ending coming cause this gal was almost *too* ready to run from the magic cops.
Also wolf GF is *always* good. 10/10

[stacia]

I love that when she turned into a werewolf, the vampire's eyes sparkled as if to say, "I already liked you, BUT THIS IS EVEN BETTER!🤩"

[Violet_Jedi_Sylveon]

Aww, a tiny little bat kid and their buff wolf girlfriend! This was so cute! I love it!

[Harley-bq]

I've loved this short film for years, the animation is beautiful, and the characters and story is super charming, adorable, and clever. Thank you!
