Plot Synopsis
After millennia in hiding, Mina Tepes, the Princess of the ancient covenant and ruler of all vampires, wants change.
Using the vast wealth of the Tepes line, she has paid off the entire gross national debt of Japan and in so doing,
gained the authority to create a "special district" off the coast of Japan that is to become the future haven to
vampires the world over. Tensions, however, run high as fearful humans and extremist vampire factions begin to interfere
with Mina's wish for peace with the human world.

Z827's Dance in the Vampire Bund Tv Review
Rated:
This is a Review of Dance in the Vampire Bund :
Well , all in all , this is certainly a unique formula of romance. Perhaps not the darkest one yet ( Hey , there ARE
twisted Romance Animes out there you know? ) but definitely not the lightest. The dark atmosphere is almost unbearable
:O
*ahem* Anyway , this Anime is quite loyal to the Manga , though with quite a bit of differences.
During one part of the storyline , my jaw dropped when one of the characters ( masked ) have a feminine figure when it's
a masculine one in the Manga. ( In fact , I paused , rubbed my eyes , went to the toilet and washed my face and stared
very hard at the curve on "his" chest. Hmm...

A poor work that failed in involving me much, although the idea was interesting: what would happen if vampires decide to
come out of hiding and live among men? First, I don't like the heroine Mina, that despite the temper doesn't manage in
being incisive, then the story has some unclear points, other foreseen, sometimes seems forced. Apart from Mina the
other characters are not well characterized, including Akira, one of the main.
MINA TEPES: "I control every corner of the dark night and even death avoids crossing my path… all for what? What
I wanted was something much… much more simple."
I was very excited to hear it became an anime but it did not live up to my expectations in comparison to the manga (to my taste, the plot was way too much changed). But yet the story itself (without knowing the manga) is appealing, if you don't mind a few hundred-year-old Vampire Queen in a children body, who doesn't mind nudity. Personally, I find the first episode to introduce humanity to the existence of Vampires quite hilarious but could give off a false impression of the whole series.
Rufusek rated 8.25:
Vampires do exist in our world but staying away from peoples eyes and only living in shadows of history. The story
centers around the Werewolf which is the guardian of vampire queen. Lately in became possible for vampires to live
without killing people because of "Stigma" and the vampire queen made her move to create her kingdom as
rightous ruler of vampires. On the way she faces quite a number of problems to form her kingdom as well as obstacles in
her personal life.. here I mean seducing Akira (poor guy always get on bad sides)
Akira on the other hand got amnesia from certain incident and didn't even know who he is, so he doubts the intend of
Mina Tepes as well as whether vampires bund will make good or rather make the world worse. He fights despite his doubts
for Mina as well tries to protect his school friends.
The story is solid and the graphics are great, this is a worthy addition to the shelf of vampire stories
The producers of the anime did an amazing job keeping the story true to the manga while somehow avoiding the nudity, gore, violence, drug use and practically any other objectionable material. Well worth watching for that feat alone!
mishia rated 7.00:Ok....my complaints are that its got lots of cliche plot ideas in it and was greatly disappointing to what I was expecting in the beginning. Still, it manages to suck me in pretty well and usually doesn't leave room for dull moments, at least with the latest episodes. I think it still has enough room to improve itself before the series ends. Otherwise, I can at least enjoy Shaft's animation style tricks.
