Akira learns more about his memory and his past with Mina as he works with her. Impressions: I have to say, this episode has just made me love Mina all the more. The tsundere nature she has is extremely cute. The kind of confidence she has in herself as being this great powerful person coupled with her [...]

Mina Tepe, the Vampire Princess, seeks out Akira, a high school student. Impressions: Well this episode certainly was…interesting, and very unexpected. I suppose that the first episode really didn’t give a very good feel for what the show would be about. It was done quite oddly, and while interesting, seems to have been quite a bit different [...]

We reach the first half of the Bund broadcast. This serves also as a turning point for the relationship between Mina and Akira. Akira comes to a realization that Mina is more malignant than she tells him, going as far as to turn the Prime Minister’s grandson into a vampire so she can keep the special [...]

Finally, some good stuff. Is the manga even better? If it is, I want to purchase a copy. Also, finally, the modified Shinboism is working. (Note: I’ve stopped treating this show as the supposed mega hit of the season. Instead, I now see it as any other show) It kinda sucks that Miha, the vampire guardian who can [...]

Phew, it has been ages since I last read a manga volume proper. They’re piling up and I have a mountain of manga well hidden since Chinese New Year is just round the corner. I was shocked to realize that I have that many copies of unread manga and immediately started reading. Dance in the Vampire [...]

Katt: We have officially reached the halfway mark of this series and…um, we really haven’t even gotten through one arc, have we? Sigh. On the plus side, though, the ending of this episode implies that we’re finally getting to the heart of this vampires-in-the-school plot that has been building for what feels like a very [...]

After finding himself and Yuki attacked by vampires last episode, it seems a little like Akira is perhaps losing patience a little with the vampire race as a whole - A train of thought exacerbated by the appearance of Meiren as this instalment begins.Meiren's revelation that Mina Tepes' first meeting with Akira which reunited them and everything that transpired afterwards was carefully stage

After five episodes, I still think Dance in the Vampire Bund is the cream of this season's crop. Not that there aren't other good shows: the latest episodes of both Durarara and Nodame Cantabile Finale were impressive, and I continue to enjoy several other shows.In any case, having already made characters/seiyuus pages for five other shows, I have finally gotten around to this one. I've loved the work here of Yuuki Aoi, Nakamura Yuuichi, Saitou Chiwa, Kaida Yuko, and Kobayashi Yu, and this week Kuroda Takaya's deep voice as Alphonse really struck me. He has worked with Yuuki Aoi before, as Murasaki's father in Kurenai.In any case, here is the full page -- or click on the image:-- end of post --

This is an episode filled with tension, drama and intrigue…is what I’d like to say. Truth is, for a high profile show, everything in this story seems underwhelming. Why doesn’t it grab me like it should? I’ve gotten over the misfired mockery in episode one and I’ve been enjoying Mina as a character – she’s [...]

Katt: Five episodes in and I’m still not sure what to make of this series. It’s keeping me entertained, that’s for certain, but I still for the life of me can’t understand what SHAFT is doing with this anime adaptation. At first it was all about twisting things around, then in the last episode they [...]

After awakening from a dream (or was it merely a memory?), Akira finds Mina in his bed... again. There's no time to dwell on that however, as it's time to join the vampire queen for some high school hijinks!Thankfully, the slice of life school stuff (well, as slice of life as you can get when it involves a vampire) doesn't last for too long in this fifth episode of Dance in the Vampire Bund, but

After revealing the existence of vampires in somewhat spectacular fashion in this series opening episode, it probably goes without saying that the world's reporters all want to snag an interview with the supposed queen of the vampires Mina Tepes herself. Thus, as this fourth episode of Dance in the Vampire Bund commences, so a press conference is being arranged for the world press to have their

One thing I found particularly funny yet somewhat ironic was that Bokutachi no Blog would sometimes get more daily views on the days we don’t update rather than on the days we do update.  You can shoot me if I’m wrong, but that’s just… funny.   Anyways, ever seen one of those movies where all [...]

I don’t know. Maybe the manga does so much more, maybe the manga is more striking. I’m just spectulating because I haven’t seen the manga. For a show that got a lot of attention beforehand, I feel underwhelmed. But there are couple of good elements: 1. Mina. Wise, intelligent, crafty, fun, child-like and yet old and experienced, she’s [...]
