Teodora This anime has an interesting plot and a very interesting character of Wilhelmina (she may annoy,but she has a good heart)to care about.Just not as good in doing this idea justice.There are many violent scenes and even nudity,especially of Mina (made me angry in both the manga and here).The one interesting relationship is between Mina and Akira.The ending was nice.I will say that anime I watch are English Dub,so Mina and Yukari from Rosary and a Vampire are voiced by the same woman,which sounds much better here than she did as Yukari(Yukari has a much more high pitched voice).I also cannot believe that Mina's Japanese voice actress was 17-18 when she voiced her.Wow,I would never voice anything with so much nudity(if this was live action...do not let me even say what a trouble it would be.)Overall,good idea ,an awful execution.I really wish that both manga and anime were much better.
Irishchatter It even had a bad start like why does a "vampire" have to turn into a chameleon on a game show but not be in his usual vampire self? Totally doesn't make sense, in fact it seemed like the writers had absolutely nothing on their minds and just decided to make a mockery of this series. Absolutely the worst anime introduction I've ever seen on an anime! I have to agree with user H. that it really did show "almost animated child porn " because of the fact, Mina has shown she has a 9 year old childs body when she was in the nude and acted all sexual. That honestly made me sick. This is sorta like Boku Ni Pico in vampire version in all honesty! I'm not going to discuss anymore about this anime, it was disgusting, disturbing and just horrible!
suite92 Take the TV-MA rating seriously.Mina Tepesh presents herself as the queen of contemporary vampires. She appeals on television for a Vampire Bund, that is, real estate where vampires can be free to be vampires. As a being who has had a long life, and who understands things like compound interest and capital appreciation, Mina's personal and family wealth is enormous. She uses this to pressure legislators to go along with her plans.There are humans who are in favour of the proposed Bund, and those who are opposed to it. Similarly, there are vampires in favour, and vampires against the proposal. This goes back and forth throughout the series.Mina has a connection with Akira, a teen-aged human. Akira is also a werewolf, and sometime earlier in his life he vowed to protect Mina as best he could. About the time Akira took his vow, he also lost a big chunk of his memory.So, the series is about the conflicts mentioned above, about Akira protecting Mina, and about Akira regaining his memory. Toward the end of the series, the elders of three ruling vampire clans descend upon Mina, and force her to own up to a promise she made to the clans in the past.As the series draws to a close, everything is revisited, and everything cast into doubt. The clan leaders set up a fight between Akira and their own chosen assassins. If Akira wins, Mina can continue; if not, they force her into submission about rule of the vampires.So how does this pan out? -----Scores-----Art/Animation: 7/10 Quite a bit of the art was fabulous; some was a bit too abstract and weird.Sound: 6/10 Typical action stuff, but neither great nor poor.Voice Acting: 8/10 No particular problems. Often good, sometimes a little screechy.Story: 6/10 There are a number of issues, mostly about motivation. Just what was the reason that Akira is so devoted to Mina? The suggestion that Mina might not be the 'real' vampire queen was not resolved. The reference to cloning was interesting, but I would have liked to have seen more detail about that. The strong, repeated statements that there was another queen candidate in the wings was never quite brought to fruition. The comedy vignettes about the maids shown after the credits were usually pretty funny.
Tweekums When I started watching this on Funimation's YouTube channel I thought it was rather strange; the opening episode opened with a television debate about whether or not people believed in Vampires, at first few of the panel of so-called experts believe and as the debate goes on that number decreases... until a girl, Mina Tepes, appears claiming to be the leader of the vampires. We later learn that she has being preparing to go public for some time; founding a prestigious school and saving the Japanese economy so that they will have little choice when she depends a small area of land to establish the Vampire Bund, a country for Vampires to live. One of the students at her school, a boy called Akira who unbeknownst to him is a werewolf, he is destined to become her protector. The vampires are not united and many want to prevent the Bund from succeeding and even after it is established Mina's problems aren't over as the heads of the 'Three Clans' have sent their assassins after Akira and whoever's assassin kills him get Mina.At first I wasn't sure if I'd like this anime but grew to enjoy it fairly quickly, the characters were well designed, the story was fascinating even though it was only a short series. While there isn't too much fanservice it isn't totally absent especially in the 'pool episode' where the female vampires wear some fairly skimpy swimwear. I believe some cuts were made to avoid showing too much of young Mina. The story had a good ending which left things open for a possible second series but wrapped up enough plot threads to form a good conclusion if there is no more. Don't switch off when the end credits start as there is a short comedy sketch, 'Dance with the Vampire Maids' after most episodes.These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.
