Blood Lad: a GOOD vampire story

Thanks to Twilight, the reputation of vampires have been rather...murdered. Not many people are interested in them anymore. However, this does not effect the manga and anime world. In the world of anime and manga, vampires are awesome, scary, powerful, and can be utter badasses. Blood Lad embraces all of these qualities. This manga just recently became an anime. In all honesty I didn't see it coming. I've read two volumes of Blood Lad and can't wait to read Volume 3. I'll give you a short version. Staz, a vampire otaku who is obsessed with the human world (especially Japan), one day meets a human girl named Fuuyumi. Fuuyumi accidentally walked into the demon world. Staz is excited to meet her and tells his men to bring her to him so they can meet. Once he steps out to takes care of something and comes back, Fuuyumi is dead and now a ghost. Staz now works on resurrecting her while also dealing with some family issues. Now the anime does a very good job with sticking to the manga. The first chapter of the manga and the first episode of the anime are almost identical. I will say that the anime is pretty fast. I mean they finished two volumes in just eight episodes. It's not that bad though. Staz is a freaking boss!! He is really powerful even without his full power. Once he gets his full power he's even more of a badass. He does tend to make references to A LOT to some classic anime like Dragon Ball. There's not much else I can say about this anime since it only has nine episodes so far, but it's worth checking out guys. If you want a good vampire anime, Blood Lad is definitely what you're looking for. Voice of a Gamer signing out.
