About Hipira-kun

Meet Hipira-kun (ヒピラくん), a comedy, fantasy and supernatural anime by Sunrise (2009). Here is the premise in a nutshell. What the story covers: In the town of Salta, a place where the sun never shines, a community of vampires lives. Hipira is a little vampire who lives the life of a typical boy, attending school and dealing with bullies along the way.

Another thread: However, he also has a soft spot for exploring, playing pranks on others and having grand adventures! Whether he's befriending a human soul, scaring his neighbours by pretending day has come or encountering giant frogs and aliens, Hipira is always getting himself into and out of trouble.

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Yumiko Kobayashi as Hipira and Sayaka Oohara as Soul-kun. Think of it as a pick for viewers who want something light between heavier series. The run is 10 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
