It's hard to discern Call of The Night. It's an animation with excellent direction and production, but with a weak story. This is visible in the development of the narrative, which fails to maintain the same quality as the rest. The secondary characters are mostly boring and uninteresting. I keep wondering what the references are for this anime and I could only think of two: Bakemonogatari and Durarara!. The first for aesthetics and the second for history.
The plot gains a lot of strength when it comes to the relationship between the main characters, however, as time passes, it loses steam and is not mature enough to admit that they both love each other right from the start. And this is visible with an error, it should be more natural and direct (example Mushoku Tensei). Another fundamental aspect is the universe that doesn't explain the protagonist's family and his secondary characters who are boring as hell. In Durarara! It’s interesting because they are so different and complex. Here it seems to me that the Harem characteristic is missing since most of the supporting characters are women and the protagonist is man.
Regarding the production and direction, I have nothing but praise. The management knew how to create an artistic product and the production managed to support it, whether through the majestic sets, the camera movement or occasional experimentalism. In any case, the technical team deserves all the praise and respect
Therefore, the series is good because of the animation team and not because of the material in the series. I look forward to seeing a second season again.

The anime works just like a novel.
