Five Word Summary: WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT? Oh SHAFT, you. I guess they’re all like making us sit down a little bit from the over-excitement about this one and have a first episode as some sort of a troll that never really happened on the manga. I [...]

OK, this was what I expected: But this is what I got instead: Needless to say, I was not happy with what I got. I know it’s the only the first episode and Shinbo directs it, but the apparent over-mockery didn’t escape my eyes. What the first episode served was to make a snide social commentary about [...]

I am back with another trailer roundup! You may have noticed that I took last week off. With the new season starting in only a few days, I knew it was going to be my only chance for awhile so I took it. I did discover that I need to back down my update schedule [...]

I don’t do manga posts very often, because it’s unfortunately not very often that I actually buy manga. I find a bit of shame in reading scanlations, as I much prefer to read manga from the actual books. However, I can safely say that I’ve gotten into another manga that I will be [...]

Another manga hits the anime adaptation category. This time, it will be done by the animation studio Shaft and directed by good old Akiyuki Shinbo – who, for those who do not know, was also the director for titles such as Bakemonogatari, Natsu no Arashi!, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha and Tsukuyomi: Moon Phase to name [...]

At the same time I'm barely aware of Dance in the Vampire Bund, I'm upset by how similar the main vampire is to my BlazBlue love, Rachel Alucard. That, and I can almost assure you that Rachel wouldn't go flaunting herself around in just a cloak. Oh well, that's the weird loli bondage vampire x werewolf romance show for you. I mean, its being animated by Shaft, which means I probably want to watch it... but, but... but...   Seven Seas Entertainment is the stateside distributor for this manga, and I suddenly feel like researching the first volume. Its not hentai, right? They're just vampires... being naked and performing acts of bondage are just things you do, right?

First Look on SHAFT’s adaptation of the Gothic Lolita Vampire manga “Dance in the Vampire Bund”. SHAFT does a loli vampire show. Not only ends in loli-vampire because it also had werewolves, lesbians, and lots of other fetishes. It’s sure to be very dark but hawt. The manga is one of my current favorites right now. [...]

Remember the rich loli vampiress manga that I introduced previously? I finally got my hands on volume 2 from Kinokuniya and finished reading it. Reviewing now since it’s still fresh in my memory, the climax for volume 2 is the death match between hime-sama and Akira in nowhere other than TEH church, how blasphemous can it [...]
