Many viewers of the second episode of new Shaft show Dance in the Vampire Bund were doubtless surprised and/or elated to discover an unexpectedly massive amount of loli vampire flesh on display, ranging from frenetic loli dancing in the OP to Mina’s bare body being slathered with anti-sunlight lotion.
Such an episode warrants a bevy of screenshots, provided below…
The following screenshots mostly come from the show’s OP which was only now seen for the first time, as last week’s episode was more of a ‘Episode 0″ that did not have much to do with the show proper.




Mina and Akira are finally properly introduced to each other below, following a quick sighting outside Akira’s school grounds:

Substantially later in the episode, our protagonist Akira is called on to do the brave deed of spreading an anti-sunlight screen that had been preventing Mina from turning to dust onto her flesh.

Akira soon accepts, mostly on the grounds that any normal man would not find the naked body of such a young girl to be sexually enticing in any way…


As might very well happen frequently with this sort of thing, uniformed adults soon barge in, interrupting the happy proceedings – poor Akira!

Quite a while later in the episode and following yet another (spoiler-heavy) action scene, Akira’s true nature is revealed…

Cue the end credits a few moments after the scene shown above, greeting us with the same lovely image of lingerie-clad Mina playing over the ED as we had with last week’s episode:


The last image above shown at the very end of the episode is a fun treat, coming from Jin Kobayashi, the mangaka behind School Rumble and Natsu no Arashi!
Praise SHAFT!!
Also, loved that thigh-mounted stake crossbow, only the best in anti-vampire technology!
you got that right.
In name of this anime, I did this:

Hunting this down now, a must watch as the manga is so awesome!
Praise Shinbo Akiyuki (the director) too!!
He is another great director, just like makoto shinkai and hayao miyazaki..
I think he is almost Chiaki Kon league - so much invention in mere adaptation...
Burn them both idiots...
yar always has lots of in jokes
Bow down to our loli vampire overlord!
how do you know its not shoota ? could be a boy for all we know
she got some topless loli action--quite literally action this time!!
I have to agree i need to go watch this now.
The greatest win in this decade. All hail to the loli vampire!
Nude version will be available on Blu-ray, they need to pump UP the sales after all, and I agree.
If you read the manga the story is pretty good for a vampire cross werewolf story.
akira's dad coolest char XD.
but their isn't much loli scenes and when they do show it its not really fan-service. like the virgin test was part of the story.
No matter what i say ppl will still watch it for that part or some other similar scene -_-
Will they show nude on animefreak?
Can someone please tell me other animes that are similar. I'm looking for good seinen anime that has a good story with a decent amount of ecchi.
I can recommend quite a few manga if you want. Just start a thread in the forums.
But, is Dance int he Vampire Bund really a seinen anime? (O_o)
Do you know any more in manga or anime? I don't really care if they are not seinen as long as they are not like naruto.
Seikon no Qwaser. Wait for the uncensored ep to come out near the end of the month, or read the manga. If you're looking for an anime that is already finished then I can't be much help. I'm more of a manga fan so I can't really recommend much anime. I'm not even sure which anime are classified as seinen.
I WANT TO BE THAT SHADE GEL!!! ME ME ME!
Akira applying the gel sunblock on little Mina's loli-vampirette body was the sweetest scene of the episode.
Sweet.
FUCKING WIN. Nothing is better than this... Nothing.
Shaft have redeemed themselves with this episode since the first one.
^Me
Best loli-vampire anime of 2010.
I can expect a lot of ratings to skyrocket just by the opening itself.
Good work Shaft ! :3
Does this one follow the manga?
If so...
Must watch.
Apparently not, it'll just borrow themes from the manga and what not. But two episodes in and it's obvious they're making it into a show of their own.
No surprise: Manga > Anime
It must be really scary to be a young girl in Japan these days.
From the articles posted here, it seems they're well protected ( from everyone but their own parents).
I love SHAFT, I'll be stroking mine while watching.
You really love SHAFT so much? then stroke mine's too :P
[Sarcasm] Loli vampire girls.
What is it that you speak of. [/Sarcasm]
Somehow this made me sick... -_-"
Girls like Edward from Twilight but boys like loli vampires.
Not just loli vampires. I like her more mature form too.
TEAM MINA!
Waiting patiently for Inchou & Nun fang raep
So, how does the anime differ from the manga?
It has colors and motion and sound and stuff.
owned...
Epic Loli Action, Approved!
Hmmm... and if the action took place in US, who'd be judged as pedo - Akira or Mina.. I wonder..
Her belly button looks like shit.
SHAFT ftw! Loli vampires ftw!
i don't get it - she's loli considering de jure or de facto? >_<
not new to me,Digimon Tamers(of all anime)had loli nipples too
Jin Kobayashi actually draws lolis quite well. Besides the fact he's drawn Tenma, etc, but not shirtless <3
... 2nd ep reminded me of Underworld... *cringe*
I'm not sure I want to watch it anymore, even though the loli is delicious.
I wonder if they are going to show the rape stuff...
I'm only going to partly praise shaft because, one the actual violence content has not yet matched up to the manga.
This show should be on an equal to Hellsing. But it isn't.
But yes I'm enjoying the nudity so far, though they still aren't following the manga.
This is clearly something excellent all we lolicons must enjoy.
my girl friend asked me to watch this anime
i was surprised to see a loli like that naked o_o
wasnt it ilegal?
God, this was harder to watch then an episode of queens blade.
Is there a "type c" anime viewer that's just plain old fucking retarded if they can honestly say bund is "good" in any fashion?
She looks pretty hot from the sides.. but so much like a boy from the front. I has a dilemma.
Oh man, that is so a pre-pubescent boy. I can now understand why some people like DFC....
Early to say if this anime is good or bad yet.. but yeah she's some literally DFC and when I've seen the gel scene I came XD, hoping for more fondling actions in following eps XDDD
I'm happy they're doing things different than the manga. It's a lot more interesting this way.
Also, delicious loli vampire brings out my inner pedobear.
delishus hawt vampire loli. =3
It's too bad this anime still suffers from massive adaption decay.
That chest kind of looks like a man's chest. If you get turned on by that you may as well look at yourself in the mirror =.=
Nah, most have manboobs.
Funny how now one - especially those who know the manga - noticed that there's a specific plot reason why her body isn't depicted as stereotypically attractive as in the cliché loli body, which borrows a lot of proportions from full grown ones. Mina has a very conflictual feeling about his body, due to her true form AND what is being plotted behind the scenes.
But then again, I shouldn't be surprised about that, when most people judge the quality of a manga or an anime just based on fetishes. Really, I wouldn't want to ever be part of a brain eating zombie invasion. Dying from hunger seems a pretty painful death.
And that "his body" was greatly significant as to depict how much she isn't attractive as a female, at least in my subconscious :P
hmm her chest needs to be fixed up too much like a lil boys chest.. its a turn off lol
Little girls' chests look like little boys' chests in real life. How would you accomplish something otherwise? I don't understand lolicon or shotacon or the differences between them as they both look the same above the belt. I myself like smaller chests, but not flat. What I really don't understand though, is why someone would fantasize about preteen girls in sexual situations when most preteen girls aren't sexually developed enough to get anything pleasurable from sex.
her boobies look like some emo boy's boobies. noooooooooooooo
How can boobies look emo?
delicious vampire loli navel...
DFC, twintails, waki, nice hips, portable size, red eyes, legal loli..
She's one PERFECT package!!
And all hail Shaft~ Again, who needs Bella when you have Mina.
Although I was hoping no one would even mention "that", it does serve as another case of 2D>3D.
Question, can person even make a case for protecting the rights of a minor that's 'dead'? Vampires are not alive after all, their undead.
And of course the fact she might look 'young', but she's likely never going to grow old looking ever too.
Is there any point to calling her a loli at all. She's just an undeveloped arrested age human corpse now.
Necrophilia is a pretty severe crime. If you get caught screwing a corpse then you're in for a pretty harsh punishment.
Vampires aren't really "dead". Necrophilia is only a severe crime because the corpse can't do anything to avoid it.
"Question, can person even make a case for protecting the rights of a minor that's 'dead'? "
Never underestimate how mentally challenged and insane Equality Now people are.
I think she is born a vampire you know? Read the manga.
Next up, Twilight, the Anime/Manga...
OMFG MY BRAIN!!!!!! I MUST PURGE IT FROM THIS NONSENSE!!!!!!
Never again !!..
Wow, that's the most feminine looking guy I've ever seen.
Look at all of you. Shouting "awesome" just because there's a naked girl dancing around. Whatever happened to CONTENT, huh?
The industry is filled with bad adaptations as it is, and it seems Shaft just added more stuff to that list. Which is a shame really. Since they've been quite innovative and delivered some really good shows.
I'm all for originality but this truly blows. If they wanted to do another "take" on the show, not following the manga, couldn't they at least try to be innovative again? Imagine if this show looked something like "Le Portrait de Petit Cossette" (earlier work of Shinbou) then it'd be something to raise an eyebrow for. Now, it is just another petty excuse to cash in on some extra money.
This show goes straight to the garbage bin.
Aw, lighten up, prudie!
Too early for you to say that with only two eps out.
I think YOU, are the one concentrating on the fact that there's a naked girl here.
If you were open enough, you'd see the art, the designs, and the possible plot.
I think I speak for everyone here that appreciates this.
Get out of here.
Same Anon here. No, I do not care about the girl, she is the main character. She is supposed to be there. And I can very much agree that the production value is high. Nevertheless, the content is still lacking. I'm Willing to give it two more episodes.
I see what you mean though. I'm very glad you understand my view. Kudos.
Have you read the manga? I can clearly say that you didnt because nobody who did and liked it could like this abomination. Manga had even MORE fanservice (Mina was naked whole first chapter) but at the same time it still had brilliant story. They completely reworked whole story already. Begining of the manga was written so well that I was wondering how can some "generic vampire manga" be that good. But no, they replaced it real generic shit.
I'm astonished at how someone who was able to appreciate Cossette fails at recognizing how everything, just everything, would have been better storytelling-wise than the really mediocre manga the anime is taken from.
And we get Shinbou's visionary storytelling, irony, and photography. Of course this isn't as visionary as Cossette... crap, Cossette was a spinoff from OSCAR WILDE and CHARLES BAUDELAIRE much more than anything else.
Nice to see that my first comment got some interesting answers. I will however not bother to writer here anymore at all, just because I give my humble opinion I get voted down? Just because I did not like the show for various reasons? That is bullshit.
Isn't the rating system there to get rid of like troll posts etc? This is just sad.
The next to the last photo reminds me of 1st season married with children and the girl on the couch doing her nails on her back. This show would make a good action RPG (nothing to do with that book movie video novel crap). Could have 3x as much stuff to do as Final Fantasy 10x2 had for example plus doing the loli....
the OP had me laughing because of Mina's ridiculous dancing. It's still not quite following the manga though which disappoints me.
This show just got my seal of approval
All yours.
Pedobear
AWWW YEEEEAAAAHHH
Very delicious.
I didn't expect to see something that "revealing" in a while due to censorship.
SHAFT is awesome!
Also looks like a pretty neat anime.
they draw her chest like a mans, i dont like those
But, at least she's still topless!
At least she still looks like your daughter. Disturbing.
Seconded.
I wish I had a daughter like that.
Loli chest are always like a man's.
Nope, it just shows us that she if physically built strong (in the manga she's kinda muscular) for a loli.
Which is pretty great. Though this is coming from someone who doesn't care about her dfc, but loves her awesomeness.
It does look a little TOO manly. Just a hint of feminine would have gone a long way.
