Since Halloween is soon upon us, I'd like to ask /a/ have you ever watched, or even heard of, a show called Vampiyan Kids? It's a delight! A real cute watch. I found out about it nearly 20 years ago, and I feel it's still hardly known among anime watchers.I think this is the original clip I discovered long ago:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojni2ipp5TUFor a long time this and a few other clips were the only things available online. As luck would have it though, the entire series was uploaded to Youtube in 2018.https://www.youtube.com/@%E3%83%89%E3%82%BA%E3%83%AB%E8%8B%A5%E3%81%99%E3%81%8E/videosThe view counts aren't terribly high.Enjoy!
>>283347873I've only seen the Yuasa pilot
>>283347873Not until I just clicked on here. I dig the designs, will pick up on next Friday.
Saved to my Watch Later list. Once in a while I find myself in the mood to watch random Japanese kid shows. I was a big fan of Here Comes the Black Witch and Phantom Thief Joker, too. It's just kinda hard to find them when I'm in the mood since they're not discussed often.
>>283349098The character designs are indeed a high point.The music and voice acting is also good.It stands out (to me) for feeling a little western at times, for how "cartoony" it is. Hard to explain. Some of the sound effects feel like they came from a cartoon in the west. This isn't meant as a negative mind you, it just gives the show a unique feel.
>>283347873Yeah I knew about it and watched some of it before. The actual series itself is your run of the mill kiddy stuff, even if the style and designs are neat. The OVA/Pilot is very cool though and wildly different in its directionhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKNuFVLIiAc
>>283350314I completely forgot about the pilot.>and wildly different in its directionIs it "darker" and less kiddie? I honestly don't remember anymore. The colors are certainly less vibrant.
>>283350408I would say racier rather than darker.
the pilot was subbed, actuallyhttps://nyaa.si/view/85585hopefully the main series (which is also on nyaa) will get subbed too, preferably not by those faggots ARR
>>283351098ARR?Given the fact it's so little known, it will have a hard time finding a team dedicated enough to sub it.
>>283351258they're a team of faggot russians that abuse MTL and AI to destroy lots of old anime, they also include tons of obnoxious ads
