Shelf Life - Chocolate Bund Cake

Basically the kodomo part never was necessary in the first place.

She only took the form of a pre-pubescent in order to dissuade her pursuers. Why couldn't she have taken the form of a post menopausal instead?

Because the Three Clans only spared Mina's life with the implicit plan that she'd bear one of them an heir, ensuring that one of the Three Clans could legitimately enter into the Royal Family, giving what was essentially a pack of murderers a "Legitimate" way to topple the last opposition. Had Mina presented herself as a post-menopausal anything she'd have been slaughtered.

I know school is a great place to move the plot along, but still... Not only that but how can you be centuries old and not know how to cook at all? I mean, that's just....... being f****** lazy with your life.

She is a vampire so eating normal food let alone cooking normal food is not something she does since vampires would not be able to taste it.

Okay. maybe I'm missing something here. Admittedly, I didn't pay too much attention to this show when I watched it, but aren't pre-pubescent and post-menopausal both incapable of fertility? I thought that was the excuse for taking the child's form in the first place. And the fact that she could transform into her "true" form, which was fertile. (?)

You REALLY didn't pay attention to the show. There is no such thing as a post-menopausal vampire. And even if there was, that would mean she'd be older then the three lords, and that's impossible. I'm impressed by how many people say they hated this show, watched it anyway, but didn't understand a damn thing about it. Why did you watch it in t he first place?

There is no such thing as a post-menopausal vampire.

I am liking what I've been seeing from them. (here's hoping they, or someone, will license the rest of Yawara!)

Every time I hear the title Dance in the Vampire Bund, I first think of the word bung, and then of delicious bundt cake.

Surely someone has made a vampire themed bundt cake by now, with raspberry syrup on top or inside…

Not the ones on Mars. He just kills them callously, and they move on, and it's never mentioned again.

I love that you chose Magneto as your analogy, since that supports my argument, what with Magneto being a villain.

"this transformation sequence is probably supposed to be titillating, but I'm just going to cling to the belief that the director was trying to be artsy by having the protagonist's clothes explode off for no apparent reason".

The series might as well have a giant sign hanging over every scene in which Mina is on-screen saying "hey lolicon fans, are you getting turned on yet? This is pretty hot, right? Right?"

Sigh. This is going nowhere this is the same bunch of people that called Nanoha pedo-training material because of some silhouette'd transformation sequences. Oh no a body line.

If I remember correctly in the new movie she is actually simply naked and you see everything. That was indeed shocking to see imho.

It's werewolf warrior slave and vampire princess, but there were no human characters central to the plot to give me an emotional connection.

Weird. I find relating to emotions to be more important than just being known as human. A doggie poo or talking cars can be related to given enough emotion.
