In episode 10, plot emerged!
In episode 11, a character that actually looked like a Kaori Yuki character showed up!
And the mystery of the cosplay was solved:
Then ep 12 was all...series and lacklustre.
So;
eps 1-9: Glorious crack when watching with likeminded folks. (I cannot emphasize the last part enough.)
eps 10-11: Plot emerges!
ep 12: Crack vanishes, angst takes over, and we have one of my least favorite types of endings ever.

I love this cosplay. I think it's the hat: 
Rion is working on offensive strategy. Suoh is learning self-defense. I think she's doing better.
There was an eyepunch. I missed the punch itself, but here are the...results...
WENT NUTS AND SUCKED ON THE VAMPIRE'S BLOOD WTF?
Fortunately, His blood is only V8, and so easily replenishable.

Behold! our Vampire Hero's coffin!
Behold! Our Heroine's "I read and watch vampire fiction and know what it means when ou stare at my face while I'm sleeping! BAD VAMPIRE!" face!
Behold! A new disguise!
Behold! Our Evil Yet Seductive Travelling Shinigami Host!
Behold! His...idea of a romantic gift...
Yeah...
jdrama: Vampire Host watchalong ep 7
Sep. 20th, 2010 10:35 pmI shall have to do a picspam of some of the best crack once I am on my own internet connection again.
So, during part of this ep, there was a loud, hollow moaning that was strangely appropriately placed and made me wonder if the sound director was having fun. Then I realized that no, that was actually my parents's kitten, snoring on the chair beside me. A pity.
Meanwhile (a) this show really loves offing nubile young women (were I capable of thinking deeply about it for 2 seconds, I suspect I'd rant about that) (b) do we actually have an arc that isn't about an evil, slightly older woman offing nubile young women for varied sexual reasons (another rant topic)?
jdrama: Vampire Host watchalong ep 6
Sep. 18th, 2010 10:17 pmStill using my parents' wonky internet connection, so no pictures. Were I uploading caps, they would include subtitles like "women are not about rye bread," and "that's a host for you. You're so sensitive to the changes of a cup." Images may have also included terribly fake wolfsuits and vampire suction cup fingers.
jdrama: Vampire Host watchalong ep 5
Sep. 15th, 2010 08:57 pmNo pictures today because internet is being wonky. Otherwise, you'd get to see vampire "pulsing vein" vision, a woman in a cheap wolfmask, Rion cosplaying as both Red Riding Hood and a fairy godmother, and maybe even Suoh delicately clenching his amulet and scurrying away in order to avoid giving into bloodlust, and a woman looking utterly bored at a werewolf attack.

In this episode, Our Hero was taken down:
A few times:
While damsels were menaced by invisible men with baseball bats:
Thankfully, Our Heroine's character description is "plucky tsundere."

Observe our opening credits, in which Our Heroine tries and fails to not look bored about a vampire munching on her.
Of course, being a tsundere of the highest order, she's probably thinking about the next time she'll kick him.
The proper response for when you are a police officer and your partner turns into a camera crazed fanboy over a corpse.
Wait, that probably isn't really considered proper...
In conclusion, vampire eye:

First off, I missed getting this cap with the first episode:
This is the hero's toilet. And the heroine in a maid costume. Create your own context.
Now. Here is scene from this episode:
This is a vampire. Posed on the hood of a car. Educating a kidnapper about the true nature of vampires.
And then the damsel told him to shut up and get on with it.

Sep. 6th, 2010 06:24 pmThis 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.
No spoilers or hints for future episodes in comments.
Vampire Host Schedule
Sep. 2nd, 2010 07:59 pmBased on the poll, single episode viewings on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays seem to be the most popular. (Of course, you can WATCH on different nights as fits your schedule, but that's when I'll be posting.) I'll make a spoiler-free post for each episodes, with comments a spoiler/snark/picture free-for-all on that day's episodes and previous episodes.
This would make the schedule roughly:
9/6: ep 1
9/8: ep 2
9/10: ep 3
9/13: ep 4
9/15: ep 5
9/17: ep 6
9/20: ep 7
9/22: ep 8
9/ 24: ep 9
9/27: ep 10
9/29: ep 11
10/1: ep 12
You can read the manga here, and get the episodes here. You have to join the community to get the episodes, but if you'e interested in this for any reason whatsoever, you probably want to join it anyway. (If I get the manga read this weekend, I'll likely make a post for it, too.)
Some people want to chat in IM/chatrooms as we watch the crack play out. I'll make a separate, f-locked post for screennames and schedules later.Vampire Host watch-a-long
Aug. 30th, 2010 06:55 pmWhile I am feeling moderately charitable towards vampires, I decided to check out interest in the proposed watch-a-long for Vampire Host, the jdrama about a host club full of vampires. Based on a Kaori Yuki manga. Curse you, Kaori Yuki!
Given the differing schedules and time zones of people who have already expressed an interest, I thought a post for a set number of episodes for comments/spoilers would be the best way to do it, instead of trying to organize group chats.
The viewing schedule poll is at LJ.
