Dance in the Vampire Bund 11
In episode 11 of Dance in the Vampire Bund, “Underworld” (アンダーワールド), the hunt for Akira has spilled over to public areas where the “general public” mills about, except this is a rather special group of the “general public”: This is the Bund, so they are all vampires. Becoming a vampire definitely seems to addle people’s brains a bit, since when confronted by a homicidal maniac who is killing everyone in her path during her hunt for a single person, they all go berserk and start attacking her to no avail.
Dance in the Vampire Bund 10
Episode 10 of Dance in the Vampire Bund, “Walpurgis Night” (ワルプルギスの夜), is pretty laid back in the first half. Mina wants to go out with Akira on the weekend (which in a normal world would be called a “date”), but annoyingly for Mina, he already has plans. So Mina gathers her harem and a shota for a relaxing weekend, instead. Or someone perverted would have claimed it was a harem, except no one whose mind goes in that direction appeared: for everyone else, it’s just a girls’ day at the pool.
Dance in the Vampire Bund 9
Episode 9 of Dance in the Vampire Bund, “Lost Boy” (ロストボーイ), starts out with an exposition about the self-destructing vampires. They’ve been basically turned into suicide bombers by modernizing an old chemical formula that goes bang when mixed with vampire blood, and the container for the chemical is opened when it receives a cell phone signal. And it also appears to support Bluetooth, since they can be triggered with a nearby cell phone without requiring cell phone reception.
Dance in the Vampire Bund 8
In episode 8 of Dance in the Vampire Bund, “Near Dark” (ニア ダーク), a kid named Yuzuru is watching late night television where some of the guests from episode 1‘s variety show appear. One of them also happens to be the woman who was bitten by the rogue vampire, who thought the feeling of being bitten was orgasmic but is fine now thanks to the vaccine. This is when Shinonome Nanami shows up as a vampire, thirsting for the one boy whom she desires above all others, but she barely manages to control herself before running away.
Dance in the Vampire Bund 7
Episode 7 of Dance in the Vampire Bund, “Innocent Blood” (イノセント ブラッド), it is no surprise that the students that took refuge in the church got ravaged as soon as they tried to let Shinonome Nanami in, although it’s weird how much more emphasis was put on showing the girls getting bitten. It’s also not much of a surprise that the vice school president, a formerly ordinary human, was working with rogue vampires so that there wasn’t much chance for the students in the church in the first place.
Dance in the Vampire Bund 6
Episode 6 of Dance in the Vampire Bund, “From Dusk Till Dawn” (フロム ダスク ティル ドーン), starts out right when Akira and Yuki get clothed again and part way, which is when Mei Ren shows up to make fun of Akira for not acting like a proper hot-blooded teenager. She also claims that Mina is a lot more devious than he gives her credit for, among them how Mina was actually drawing out her enemies when she supposedly met Akira alone, while in fact being protected by hidden forces. Looks like Yuki interpreted things accurately, after all.
Dance in the Vampire Bund 5
In episode 5 of Dance in the Vampire Bund, “Shadow of Vampire” (シャドウ オブ ヴァンパイア), Mina shows herself to be more than just a vampire with a lot of power by showing off her mathematical prowess. Her work in front of the class is not the cutting edge of mathematics, but it would be more than what the average modern person is capable of (sadly to say; I do think that everyone should be able to do something as basic as proving there are an infinite number of primes, although I’m also pretty sure that what was shown on the blackboard was either plain wrong or an overly roundabout way of doing it).
Dance in the Vampire Bund 4
In episode 4 of Dance in the Vampire Bund, “Interview with Vampire” (インタビュー ウィズ ヴァンパイア), Mina Tepes finally has the press conference that officially announces her intention for the Bund to be a public safe haven for vampires. She already owns the artificial island outright, but there is now also legislation that would make it safer for vampires and humans to coexist with each other on the island. It took economic blackmail to get the legislation through, and a lot of people are unhappy with the development, among them the prime minister of Japan.
Dance in the Vampire Bund 3
As episode 3 of Dance in the Vampire Bund, “Teen Wolf” (ティーン ウルフ), begins, a naked Akira wakes up in bed with Mina Tepes, who is quite happy that he has recovered at least some of his memories. For one thing, his full name is Akira Kaburagi Regendorf, and he is a werewolf. It’s bad enough that Mina and her maids have no respect for his modesty, but it gets worse when it turns out that Mina will be going to his school. Completely not in the sense that a sworn and hated enemy is in school, but rather in the sense that there will no longer be a quiet moment for Akira at school, who is publicly revealed to be a servant of Mina Tepes.
Dance in the Vampire Bund 2
In episode 2 of Dance in the Vampire Bund, “Howling” (ハウリング), the public is now abuzz about the revelation that vampires exist. A lot of the buzz is around the controversy on whether the revelation is true or not (and some curiosity about whether other things like werewolves or Frankenstein monsters exist), but the news that Mina Tepes outright bought an artificial island from the Japanese government is also big news. The random boy interviewed in episode 1, Kaburagi Akira, is rather uninterested in the whole thing. In fact, he is quite annoyed by talk of vampires.
