Vampire lolitas and Shinbo Akiyuki together once more!
Okay guys, a long time ago before Shinbo made that Zetsubou Sensei show everyone who speaks English knows him for, when he first joined SHAFT they put their heads together like a merry band of brothers and made Tsukuyomi -MOONPHASE-. For those who haven’t seen it, Tsukuyomi -MOONPHASE- is a touching story of a bratty, preteen vampire girl and her relationship with a just-out-of-college aged, kind of irritable cameraman. It’s a love story that’s filled with lots of quirky humour, well-directed action, and a damn fine cast of fun of characters.
Well, it would seem that with the production of Bakemonogatari, SHAFT is being targeted to produce more serious, and more loli-centric shows again, as they’ve apparently been handed the task of adapting Dance in the Vampire Bund, with none other than Shinbo at the helm. Of course.
I’ve been recommended this manga for obvious reasons, and while flipping through it I’ve come the conclusion that it’s Something I’d Like, but I’ve put off buying it because, a) I own way too many unfinished manga series, and b) Why pay 10 dollars for one volume of manga? I can get 10 volumes of manga for that much over here!
So yeah, I’m a little excited. Since I won’t be reading the manga anytime soon, the SHAFT adaptation should do nicely. SHAFT is the perfect studio to do any sort anime adaptation, and hopefully they’ll bring back the hard Tsukuyomi-style shading for this one. I also look forward to lots of suggestive eye-catch illustrations of the main girl in various states of undress.
SHAFT is the best studio. SHAFT will save anime. Long live SHAFT.
I’m waiting for this.
I’m waiting for this RATHER ANXIOUSLY.
It seems Shaft has had a pretty constant stream of Projects, lately, which is only a very good thing.
I’ve only seen bits and pieces of Tsukuyomi, but any time any of their shows feature a dark atmosphere or a serious tone, be it an episode setting or just a gag, it’s always done so well. So I’ll be waiting for this.
Maybe before then, though, I better get to watching Tsukuyomi fully.
As it’s Shaft I doubt it’ll be time wasted.
Is there a Preferred sub group, though? A number of the batches I’m finding are by groups I’ve pretty much never heard of, or watched anything from.
Don’t be a pirate. Buy the DVDs. The DVD set is like 20 dollars.
I like Dance in the Vampire Bund quite a bit, more than Tsukuyomi as a comic in fact, so this should be awesome!
“a touching story of a bratty, preteen vampire girl and her relationship with a just-out-of-college aged, kind of irritable cameraman. It’s a love story that’s filled with lots of quirky humour, well-directed action, and a damn fine cast of fun of characters.”
Only in the eyes of a lolicon. It’s a disgusting lolicon fanservice show that has less depth than a toddler’s swimming pool. If you’re going to watch it, pirate it. We need less shit saturating the anime market.
I love Tsukuyomi -MOONPHASE- the Art direction is amazing and IMO it is one of shafts best work. The Arty comedy and the camera angles really made this show stand out for me.
It is not really a loli fanservice show there is hardly any true fan service in the show. i mean Ghost in the shell shows much more nudity but no one complains about that because the major is basically a man with tits.
>>Lol
u mad
actually looking at his other post, this is perhaps the finest specimen of keyboard crusher-level rage channeled into poor quality countertrolling
summer break really brings out the comments, doesn’t it

What a loli hater loves to believe.
I was thinking about writing a wall of text…but refuting a troll isn’t worth the effort or time. Especially a seemingly narrow-minded and moralistic troll.
Say, back in that post back when you stalked the SHAFT studio. Was the swingset the guy photographed the one in the playground for the Mayoi arc?
So yea. I’m a big fan of the following:
-SHAFT
-Akiuyuki Shinbo
-Vampires (sort of?)
Therefore, it could be said that there is no way that I could possibly dislike this upcoming project. I mean, I just finished MOONPHASE, and I thought that it was pretty good, and I like Bakemonogatari so far. Come to think of it, I don’t think there is a single Akiyuki/Shaft animation that I don’t like.
I’m excited.

More like fags somehow getting told by wah’s troll. If you want go check the entries of the old Gundam 00 troll here to see true butthurt.
Having just read up to chapter 22, it’s a really action packed series. It’ll be interesting to see Shinbo return to his Nanoha days.
Off topic, I’d say:
20 dollars to spend on DVDs, I have not.
Impatient to wait until I do, too! Since that could be quite a ways off, yet(plus a giant backlog of ‘Things to Buy’)!
I just didn’t want to get caught in a “Bad sub group kills my enthusiasm to pursue further” type of situation. Again.
I’m sitting on a couple hundred dollars worth of LupinIII DVDs alone – have some faith!
(Only DVDs with episodes/movies I like, though! I’m stingy like that.)
If I enjoy it enough, I will invest. Think of it as “My TV run” of a series, like them darn lucky Japanese people get.
But I guess I’ll just spin the wheel and choose by which one has the most seeds. It is somewhat old, after all.
The TV version has lots of bad animation that they fixed on the DVDs
Anyway have fun being a pirate.
“What a loli hater loves to believe. ”
Let it be clear, just practising trolling on a troll blog. Also, I don’t hate lolis.
