When watching or starting to watch this anime, one has to know that it is one of those that rely heavily on one trope, which factors into its comedic genre-type. As a comedic anime, it does fit the bill but it does not do it for long bursts since there is only really one trope that maintains comedic events, and that is our vampire and other main character, Vlad Transylvania Mai who the one where the setting and plot revolve around here to make the anime go forward. Speaking of which, our main character, Banba Mitsuga is one of those public school young students who is one fixiated person, and that circles back to Vlad Transylvania Mai, the other main characters antic.
While at time, our cast becomes goofy and outright dastardly at times, it is not some that is award winning. What is more…

Vlad Love is one of the most bizarre comedies to be released in the 2020s, one that seemingly people are overthinking or being harsh to, because such a simple yet sophisticated absurdist comedy is something well done, even if it's not everyone's cup of tea. These kind of comedies were commonplace before the 2000s, when the worries for plot continuity were little and people just wanted to have a laugh without thinking much. Vlad Love does attempt this, by showing the hilarious situations of living with a vampire, yet with elements that characterize Oshii's dry humor like those seen in Gosenzo-sama Banbanzai! such as self-referential humor, 4th wall breakings and a lot of unrelated dialogue with non-sequiturs. Vlad Love is also a parody of anime and particularly, copyright laws, yes, there a…

This is an Oshii Mamoru joint, man. He's the idiot who directed the 1995 film version of Ghost in the Shell. Just the talentless dumbass who directed the film Urusei Yatsura 2: Beautiful Dreamer and Patlabor 2: The Movie. It's not like he'd create a satire of anime and otaku culture smart enough to fly over the heads of the same people he's parodying or anything. That's not it, that's not it at all. He's just a has-been making movies about a genre and fandom he doesn't really understand, ripping off more successful works like urusei yatsura for no real reason, not ever to make a point about or a joke at the expense of a format that he's been a part of for longer than the average millennial, let alone zoomer or younger has been alive. This is a show that has nothing to say about anything, c…

I don't see any allegory about modernity or some illustrious writer doing something below himself. All I see is a funny anime, that makes me laugh with good jokes. Kawaii characters, a girl in love, comic variety, and a certain freshness away from the everyday isekai or romcom.
It's romantic in its own sense, but that doesn't seem to be what it's about. What it's about is being funny, like the bobobos of days long past, but highly structured, sophisticated, and generally brilliant. I've never seen an anime with quite the comic punch, the loss for words, the macha milk spewing from the nose gold that this anime brings. Thousands of hours of my life I have poured into the comedy genre of Anime, this takes the cake.
Not the most beautiful, not the best drawn, not my favorite story of all ti…

This will probably call for a slightly different format, as its quite a different show... So here we go.
What IS blood love? ... Comedy mostly, but beyond that, i'd say i have NO clue, which is a problem since there's a LOT there. Now, what's the good? Art quality and animations (minus ep 9 and 10). Music. Overall production quality seems pretty high, surprisingly high even... So then, why the relatively low score? For the first half of the show i'd say i don't know, because this kind of random, stupid, explosive comedy is right up my alley. But the second half makes it kind of worse and more clear...
Its somewhat niche, on TOP of this kind of humor not being for everyone. For example, you'll be quite indifferent and uninterested in quite a few sections unless you're…

Vlad Love is an anime that immerses the viewer in an inventive and fascinating way in its stylization
Synopsis: Mitsugu Banba is a high school student who loves to donate her blood, to the point of feeling obliged to visit a blood bank, despite being treated severely by the nurse. One day, she meets a beautiful girl who appears to be from abroad. The pale girl looks like she's going to pass out any minute, but then, she starts destroying the blood bank. The girl loses consciousness and Mitsugu takes her home ...
It is incredible how Vlad Love manages to blend some more generic and common choices very well with a more evident stylization. The anime plays with pop culture themes in general in a very fun and relaxed way. One of the points that I liked the most is how he manages to arouse a…

Vlad Love, a show full of simps, made for simps and brought into life by a genius team full of simps. This is, Mamoru Oshii shitposting on modern anime culture.
With constant spreading of otaku culture, we are now at a stage where consuming anime is not leered by surrounding, something which we can not imagine in late 90's or early 2000's. With the increment in audience demand, anime has delved into more and more varieties. There’s a demand of everything seeing animated by a Japanese studio. We are ready to evaluate ANYTHING drawn by them.
Despite however, how has this affected the creative talents? With keeping in mind the type of audience you are making anime for, what should be the proper attitude?
How many shows truly feels like an inspired product, where you can find love and cares…

What to say about this. It felt like a genuine waste of time.
It felt like there wasn't any passion put into this anime.
Like, for example, the last episode didn't have any connection at all to the rest of the episodes, making it separate and making the other episodes seem pointless.
Characters - it's just a bunch of one-dimensional characters making the same joke over and over again. They tried to create depth in the last episode but it's too late tbh.
Animation - Coming from Production IG, I expected too much from it. It is passionlessly made by the studio. It tried to create a unique style of animation, but nah, it just looks lazy.
Enjoyment - I got bored halfway through. It had potential but it didn't take itself seriously. It's a shame cause I had great hope for this.
Music is…

Hello everyone! And welcome to “Garbage of the Season [1]!” The series where I discuss the current season's trashy pile of unwatchable monstrosities so that mom can’t say I’m doing nothing with my life.

Today’s garbage is the ever popular Vlad Love by the vastly known Mamoru Oshii. Who’s done with making pretentious movies and choses to go back to the old days of directing comedy shows. Sadly, the style of comedy in Vlad Love expired during the same era. It’s terribly out of date and even if it was modernized, still lacks a punch because i…

Vlad Love is Mamoru Oshii’s indulgent critique of the modern simp. Mitsugu Bamba is a harem protagonist taken straight out of your average 80’s slapstick romcom and unceremoniously inserted into the year of our Lord, 2021, but instead of having the standard selection of waifus to choose from, she only gets one. Fret not, though, because Mitsugu is the ultimate and final simp. Her waifu is an insatiable vampire, but Mitsugu conveniently has a fetish for giving blood, and even goes so far as to systematically cuck herself by creating a Blood Donation Club at her school to orchestrate a bloodletting pyramid scheme amongst the club’s members to satisfy the thirst of her new sugar baby, and you, the viewer, likely an otaku defined by your subservient love for Japanese cartoons, are obviously me…
