Synopsis

On live television, Mina Tepes, the ruler of all vampires, reveals 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. But 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 meets Mina. She triggers within him memories of a life he had long forgotten, and he soon begins protecting her without understanding why. But Akira's secret is far stranger than he could have ever thought possible—he discovers that he is a werewolf, sworn from birth to protect the vampire queen, even if it costs him his life. Now, as these two dance a rondo of death in the Vampire Bund, Mina and Akira find out just how deep their bond goes.

I've seen mixed reviews for this anime. Some good, some bad and some average. I must say I rather enjoyed this show. Interesting story and world. The setting and animation were also very good.

Some criticisms are it was a bit rushed as they tended to include a lot going on at the same time and it could have done with being longer in order for it to improve.

The best part of the anime by far was Mina Tepes. She is the main reason I really wanted to see this anime and she is a really cute and great character. I often like vampire ...

Mixed Feelings
Overview:
Anime about vampires certainly aren't anything new, and Studio Shaft, the same people behind "Puella Magi Madoka Magica", is well-known for making such anime, having created several over the years. One such anime is "Dance in the Vampire Bund", which unfortunately is pretty average as far as the genre goes. While I did enjoy it quite a bit, it is nevertheless heavily flawed, with a number of good qualities being held back by a number of not-so-good qualities.

Story (6/10):
"Dance in the Vampire Bund" is set in modern-day Japan, in a world where vampires exist and have lived in isolation for centuries. Until now, that is, ...

This is a spectacular piece of shit and I can't recommend it to anyone, no matter how vampire anime deprived they might be.

My #1 criticism is the colossal shitshow that is the art style. It's difficult describe with words, but it's that kind of "art" where someone throws a whole lot of motifs around that *should* be artistic but the way it's all put together just produces a cringy mess. Art in general is highly subjective, but in this anime it's comparable to showing up at a high-class show in Paris and instead of seeing masterful works through the centuries you actually see what happens ...
