  • SERIES REVIEW: Dance in the Vampire Bund (2010)

    12 Episodes

    GENRE: Japanese Action Anime

    SUMMARY: To the horror of Japan and the rest humanity, vampires are real and the child princess of the vampires Mina Tepes plans on building a community only for vampires. When teenager Akira gets caught up in her plans, they find themselves facing rogue vampires and other vermin.

    REVIEW: The director has issues. The art is pretty good, but Princess Mina is annoying. Because she's thousands of years old, the director uses it as an excuse to get her naked and in provocative clothes, but here's the catch...SHE'S IN AN 8 YEAR OLD'S BODY! Yeah, that killed it for me. Couldn't get past it. The plot was alright, but with how obsessed the writer is apparently with naked little children, the whole show became tainted for me. There were so many more interesting characters. Take for example the princesses guard which only come up in one episode, there is like 8 of them and they all look like the come from a fighting game each with a different weapon. I want to learn about those guys, but no. Instead lets get a little girl naked and have her try to seduce a teenager. Sweet! 

    ART: 8/10
    PLOT & STORYTELLING: 6/10
    CHARACTERS: 5/10 (not into kiddy porn)
    OVERALL: 5/10 (the kiddy porn aspect just got me pissed off that I invested time into it)
