This is what the opening credits look like:



These bats are the scene dividers:



And this is what vampire eyes look like:


 

Also:
 

A)  I refuse to call this Vampire Gigolo again.  I need my self-respect.

B) I read a bit of the manga and will read the rest, but have to say that it didn't feel very Kaori Yuki-ish to me.

Alrighty, so I just watched the first episode. It is gloriously cheesy, what can I say? Suou's overdramatic way of doing, well, everything, from sipping his juice (sorry, blood) to the theme song where he makes like a jpop star, ahaha. That whole time he was healing (see: ripping off his clothes and touching himself), I kept on wondering what would happen if someone happened to walk by.

I actually like Rion a lot, though yeah, I was not impressed with how helpless she became once she was in actual danger.

And maybe it's just me, but I found Diana hilarious. They should bring her back, just so she can call Suou's name repeatedly and ruin his perfectly sculpted lines.

(I suspect most conversation will take place at LJ.)

Hopefully, Rion's helplessness was to show Suoh transform. I think jdramas usually do a decent job of letting the heroines get their licks in.

Those were amazingly deserted streets, weren't they?
