About Dance in the Vampire Bund

Looking for background on Dance in the Vampire Bund (ダンスインザヴァンパイアバンド)? This action, ecchi and romance series by Shaft (2010) starts out like this. At its core: When Mina Tepes—queen of the vampires—all at once appears in Japan to establish a colony for her blood-sucking brethren, Akira Kaburagi’s world will never be the same. As a boy, Akira vowed to serve the ruler of the night, and now he has to fulfill his destiny by protecting Mina from those who would dethrone her!

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Mina Tepes (Aoi Yuuki) and Akira Kaburagi Regendorf (Yuuichi Nakamura) are two of the characters you will meet early.

Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. At 12 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
