Dance in the Vampire Bund

In a world where vampires move through daylight politics and glossy city life, Mina Tepeş pushes for transparency about her kind. As the princess of an ancient pact and ruler of all vampires, she believes hiding in the shadows is finally over. Using her immense wealth, she clears Japan's debt and wins the right to carve out a coastal district that could become a safe haven for vampires worldwide. She plans to announce the undead to the world and redefine humanity's relationship with immortals. But this bold move invites danger: politicians, terrorists, and rival factions quietly plot to derail the plan. Mina leans on power, loyalty, and a small circle of trusted allies while trying to live a normal life.

Premiering in 2010 as a TV anime, it was created by Nozomu Tamaki and Hiroyuki Yoshino and is based on Tamaki's manga. Lead voices include Chiwa Saito, Aoi Yuuki, Yuichi Nakamura, Kenji Hamada, and Eri Kitamura, with a production team.

Reception scores sit at 6.7 out of 10 from 57 votes, signaling a mixed response. The show blends political intrigue with supernatural drama, exploring themes of power, secrecy, and how a hidden vampire world interacts with a rapidly changing modern society, sometimes with uneven pacing. The pacing may feel uneven at times but the core tension remains.

Though not a mainstream hit, the series stands out for its focus on governance among immortal beings and a coastal city setting. It invites fans to rethink vampire mythos beyond romance and battles toward diplomacy, coexistence, and fragile peace, influencing later fantasy anime with its political tilt.

Awards: There are no widely reported major nominations or wins for this title, reflective of its niche status in 2010s anime; its reception is measured more by fan scores and niche critiques than by accolades, and it remains a curiosity for genre fans.
