Dance in the Vampire Bund English Sub & Dub

About Dance in the Vampire Bund

Looking for background on Dance in the Vampire Bund? This action, supernatural and vampire series by Shaft (2010) starts out like this. The premise: On live television, Mina Tepes, the ruler of all vampires, exposes the existence of her species to the world and states her plan to build a sanctuary in Japan for vampires, called the Vampire Bund. Using her family's wealth to pay off the nation's debt, they have agreed to let her build this safe-haven for her fellow creatures of the night.

Beyond that: Not everyone is so easily swayed by Mina's influence, as her announcement brings about conflict with humans who believe that the queen's quest for peace is a façade. Akira Kaburagi does not believe in vampires and gets uneasy whenever they are brought up, although he has yet to realize why. Apart from suffering a head injury a year ago, he lives on blissfully until he crosses paths with Mina.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights.
