Dance in the Vampire Bund

If I had Kinji's Hysteria Mode, it would be active through quite a bit of this show. LOL
This is about the ruler of the vampires and the boy who gives his all for her, and the love they share.

Yes it’s a supernatural romance showing not only the unwavering love between the queen of the vampires and her personal bodyguard who’s a werewolf, but a strong force of politics and the trouble and tribulations about keeping chaos at a minimum when the vampires are revealed to the world.

Even though there are differences between this and the manga (see below for explanation), I do watch it with the intent to enjoy it and not nitpick between them. The anime itself is very good, with excellent art, a great and well written story and characters you can empathize with.

This marks the 3rd time I’ve watched this series. I had hopes that they would continue the series since the manga goes further and is even still ongoing. But that won’t be happening as it was never really intended to go beyond that. (again: see below for explanation)

Here’s the reason. For those who’ve read the manga and slam the anime, I would like to point out that yes there are changes, but SHAFT didn’t want to change it at all. The author himself TOLD them to write their own story, and when they refused and said they wanted to follow the manga, the author made a compromise by telling them they could use the plot but had to make their own story out of it. So I ask everyone to please watch it objectively. I actually enjoy both the anime and the manga. I like the manga’s storyline better, but the plot was fulfilled in the anime and the wrapped it up nicely with no real loose ends.

As I certainly hope that people will add this awesome, though short lived, anime to their collection, I will offer the following link to get an awesome deal that gives you BOTH the Blu-Ray and DVD in one set. Click here to see it. I picked this box set up myself so that if someone wanted to borrow it, I could just lend the DVD’s and keep the Blu-Rays safe. For a newer series, being a limited box set of the complete series, and containing both media types in their own cases in said box, I thought $33 was a steal. If you feel $33 is a fair or good price, then grab it before it disappears.

P.S. I don't care what anyone says, but I find Mina to be hot in both forms. ;P
