It’s been a long time since we’ve had Mamoru Oshii on the TV side of anime, going back decades, but we got the reveal in June 2019 about the Vlad Love anime series. Oshii’s listed as creator and chief director as he works with director Junji Nishimura on the project. We also previously had the basics revealed with Kei Yamamura on board to work on the scripts while Kazunari Niigaki is serving as the character designer. The production involves Comic Animation along with Drive while Production I.G. is listed as production cooperation.
Now, the social media side for the project has updated to reveal that Kenji Kawai will be working with him again on the music composition. With Kawai having produced some gorgeous soundtracks for Oshii’s films, this is welcome news. Another frequent collaborator is also on board with Kazuhiro Wakabayashi as the sound director, again working on many of the director’s films.
Kanako Takatsuki is on board to perform the theme song as part of the BlooDye unit being created for the series. You can see them all together in the tweet below.
The series is scheduled for a spring 2020 run where it’ll run for twelve episodes as it focuses on a largely female cast that looks to have some touches of Lum from Urusei Yatsura to it, which tickles my heart.
Plot Concept: The series is a slapstick comedy centering on a vampire girl named Mai and a high school girl.
