Dance in the Vampire Bund

As promised I am finally writing my review of this anime. It took a little long just because the ending didn't seem like an actual ending and I as mildly confused. The ending was notable bad, due to the fact that it left issues unresolved. This is normally fine and not a big deal since other anime do it as well, however they leave you knowing this is most likely going to have a sequel. This was not the case for Dance in the Vampire Bund and I personally get annoyed with being confused. So the plot was there however, the pieces didn't fit. I enjoyed the fit scenes and a couple of the surprises. There isn't much I can really say about this anime due to the twisting and turning constantly in the series. The premise is there is a Vampire Queen Mina Tepes with a resolve to make a place for vampires to go called the Vampire Bund.

There is a protector who has lost his memory, who she is relying on for it to come back. There are a lot of fights for power and weird twists. Don't get me wrong I am a fan of twists and turns, but only when I can keep track and go "oooooo I get it" at the end or somewhere before. So my vote on this anime is an 2 out of 5 chibi's. I did wait for it every week to see what was going on and I loved the opening song. If you have time to blow off then by all means make your way over to Anime Dreaming and watch. I am in no way affiliated with this site, however it's my top out of three other places to watch my anime without issues. Plus the admins are usually in the chat so if you have problem it's easily fixed. Have fun! 

My next review will be up within the next couple of days. Bleach is out of filers finally, and I've watched at least five other series. Keep a look out I'll be talking about Ikkitousen soon as well. By the way if you did not know K-ON season 2 has started, and yes I'm watching and will write about it when it's done.

Ga-Rei Zero

Okay I just finished Ga-Rei Zero right this very minute. I wasn't going to do it all in one sitting, but I couldn't help myself. It's a 12 episode anime packed with action and of course tears. What anime wouldn't be complete without them. There is a love story that is kinda underplayed for the most part, but they did try to make it more pertinent to parts of the plot. I all in all liked this anime. If you're in need of some crying, but you really want to  see some action then this is it. I wasn't bored at all which was nice, and it actually told a story unlike a couple of anime's I've seen as of late that I will blog about later. Kagura and Yomi are the two main characters in this anime. After the loss of her mother, Yomi helps Kagura try to pick up the pieces. I was a bit confused by the first episode, but in the second one I understood what was going on.

Like a few anime's they did the let me show you the last episode thing, and then start over to show you how we got there. However they were at least not horrible about it due to the fact they didn't tell us the complete end, which did leave some surprises. Yomi and Kagura a exorcists and not in The Exorcist  since either. They take down naughty souls by killing them in other the way a nice size katana can. With an all boys group of characters, and of course you funny joke and kick in face, I will most likely watch this anime again if I run out... Not to mention the parts that make you want to hit one (or several) of the characters in the face, but then you remember it's an anime you'll only hurt yourself...sigh.Which I hope will never happen, but I would still have things to watch.


If you have any questions by all means please ask.  I do give this anime a 3 out of  5. I would give it a 3.5, but I liked K-ON better sooo yeah. I hope I didn't spoil to much for you. I will begin to write reviews better as I get a grip on it lol. Stay tuned to my next post which will be about Dance in the Vampire Bund.
