The series is from Akira's point of view to begin with, so this isn't surprising. And don't forget... Akira is a werewolf and he's Mina's bodyguard and love interest. |

If it has the same quality and overall tone of Gunslinger Girl S1, I'll be sold on the animation alone. From what I read of the manga (I think up to chapter 5) that type wouldn't be ill-fitting. Another style may be a bit better, but currently can't think of an example. I am curious as to how this will turn out in terms of the nudity (I do hope that everything that's in the manga will be in the anime). I'm not sure how far that carries into the manga, so how much of a concern it is is unknown to me. At any rate, I'm fairly excited about this. |

Um, a guy was arrested in America for owning "obscene" material with underage kids. It doesn't matter if there's a great story, characters, fights, etc., I'd be afraid of owning it too, afraid that it would get declared child pornography and I'd be in trouble with the law! |

If your talking about handly, you may want to do a bit a research. |

You mean this? Yeah, I don't think this series is anywhere near as bad as what he owned (though I never saw the details on what it was), but I'd rather not go to court to prove that. There's a feeling of at least partially-justified paranoia among many American fans, that we're going to have to defend whatever we own from overzealous prosecutors who can't distinguish between morally reprehensible and legally prosecutable. My guess is that that is what DmonHiro meant, not that he wanted to just discard the whole series based on the first volume. It may be a stupid fear in the long run, but that's where we're at right now. Also, my guess is it'll be toned for TV. Almost everything is. |

Given what Queen's Blade was on a few stations, there's a chance that one might air an 'uncensored' version of this. That is, if the company making it even decides to keep anything that might be censored. |

This. Fear and paraanoia is what deals the damage. It's also too bad that he chose (key word) to plead guilty, perhaps with more edurance, this all could have been avoided, but meh, what's done is done. Now im just curious as to how bad this series will be botched. Adaptation decay sems to be at an all time high... |

I took a look at the first chapter of the manga the other night after reading Richard J.'s post. "What the bloody hell is this?" was my first thought upon encountering the nudity. The anime adaptation should be "interesting," though I doubt I'll be checking it out. |

Exactly. I'm not being "foolish" for not wanting to get into this series, I'm being cautious, there's a difference. Child pornography laws are completely objective, there's no denying that. If it looks like there's a 12 year old naked girl with an adult male then there's really nothing else to say. Nobody is going to let it go because one's a vampire and the other is a werewolf, it just doesn't work that way. As it is people are referring to it as fanservice so the sexual indications are already there, even if there is no actual sex (I'm assuming). Sorry, the story may be good, but it can't be good enough to explain to a court and I know there are better titles out there that I don't have to be concerned about owning. Emerje |

Well, that decision is yours. However, keep in mind that that kind of paranoia is unhealthy. By that logic, you should never leave the house, because there's always the possibility, no matter how cautious you are, to get hit b a car... Also, keep in mind that this series is stock by bookstores. And they are the first people to drop something if it gets too controversal (see another series by this company who's name will not be mentioned due to the ensuing shitstorm that will follow) Now, back on topic, I'm quite curious if this series will eventually be licenses. |

After hearing this was packed with under aged fanservice, I not only lost interest, but became quite discusted. But knowing Media Blasters, they'll probably license this, despite it not only containing underaged fanserivce, but high and excessive amounts of violence. |

Wow, you condemn a series you haven't read based on something you heard from someone. Here's a crazy thought, read it for yourself (without pre-emptive bias, if possible), then formulate your own opinion on the series. I know independent thought can be a scary thing, but try it out sometime, it's kinda neat. -____- Media Blasters would be a good suitor, they tend to go after unique series like this. Hope that happens in the future! |

I read the first volume of Dance in the Vampire Bund, and I really enjoyed it. The plot, characters (particularly Akira) and the new take on vampires and werewolves made for intriguing reading.
But the unnecessary underaged fanservice disturbed me. Heck, it even seemed to disturb the main character, Akira, that his young looking vampire queen charge perfers not to wear clothes sometimes and seems to have a romantic interest in him. Despite this, I would've read the subsequent volumes for the plot alone if the series were still available from my local library, but it seems that even the first volume is unavailable for check-out now. 'Tis unfortunate, but I can't say I blame them. Underage fanservice/nudity is so troublesome  Ruined a good fantasy drama for me.

I don't quite know safe it is to bump this month old topic, but I'm itching to say some things considering I just heard the news.
A month ain't too bad, right? It's not like I'm necro-ing a topic over a year old.
Eh, he's not that badass. Not that such a thing is a problem. I'm getting tired of guys who are obsessed with hypermasculinity who aren't homosexuals. Also, the thing I DO actually find negative about him, is he's too male lead typical looking. I'm getting tired of male leads who all look the same.
I really hate it when people talk like this. It's enough to make me go Yandere.
It probably has less nudity as Elfen Lied and treats it in about the same manner, which is in a non-ecchi fashion. I don't see why it should be a detraction from the show. Unless you're like, freaked out by the human body.
If Strike Witches can, I sure this can.
Errr, underage? Mina Tepes is probably several times older than you are.
Sounds like a case of paranoia and likely caring too much what others think.
He gets a little more lead and time over her, but it's not significant. He's only slightly more the lead than her.
Again, she's not underage. She's quite old. You do realize the old granny loli character like Etna is a common trope within anime and manga, right? She happens to be flat chested, not have extremely wide hips, or be especially tall. She by no means acts like an underage kid nor is she stated to being anywhere near under the age of consent.
But again, she's not underage. Btw, again, sorry ANN for Necro-ing a month old thread. And another btw, as I deviantly revive a long dead thread, I come with new news and update on the matter of this manga becoming an anime, it's being done by SHAFT. http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=96425&show=20#msg4152578 Being done by SHAFT like this, pretty much guarantees it to be good, in my book. |
