That’s right. The final episode of Dance in the Vampire Bund is titled Dance in the Vampire Bund, and (spoilers!) it ends with a dance in the Vampire Bund. Story-wise, this episode had to explain a lot, and it managed to accomplish that, tying the series together nicely, even while introducing new plot points that remain as mysteries to the viewer.
Finally, some dancing!

There was more talk and less action in this episode than I expected, but I found that to be alright, because the talk brought back that very important issue that had been ignored for the last many episodes: Akira’s continued amnesia. And it ties it together with Telomere; what Akira still doesn’t remember is what Telomere wants. And Telomere comes back in this episode to get it from him. With just 1 more episode left, all the loose story ends have come together, for one last Dance… in the Vampire Bund (sorry, hate me if you want to for that).

After getting 3 consecutive action-heavy episodes, we get one that is slower paced and more subdued. We learn a bit more about Meiren’s past and the clans that make up the vampire world. The episode also brings to the forefront the impossibility of the relationship between Mina and Akira in this class-based world and clearly sets up the conflict that will be the focus of the last 2 episodes.

This episode, like the last, starts with some very NSFW stuff, this time between Nanami and Hysterica. I don’t think I can post any screenshots of that here. Instead, have Yuzuru and Nanami close to the end of the episode:
*Nice*
Before I begin, one thing I forgot to write in the catch up is that there is an organization of vampires called Telomere that was behind all of the assassination attempts on Mina. One of the members was a student who lead the charge against the human students in episode 7. I mention this now because they take a central role in the plot of this episode and presumably of the episodes going forwards.
No... onee-chan...
Well, the Vampire Bund has now been established, so a new plotline begins to develop. The episode starts off almost like a hentai, with a young boy waking up to find his “older sister” trying to jump him. The young boy’s name is Yuzuru, and the “older sister” is actually Nanami Shinonome, the former student council president who was turned into a vampire very early in the show. The scene ends with her fleeing after forcing herself to stop from biting the boy.

To start, I’m lvlln, a new writer for Borderline Hikikomori, and I’ll be blogging Dance in the Vampire Bund for the rest of this season. You can read my profile, if you wish.
7.5 is a recap episode with no new content whatsoever, as far as I can tell. But I figure this is a good chance to play catch-up, as no one at Borderline Hikikomori has been blogging it since the first episode. My subjective thoughts on the series, I already wrote about on a post in my own blog, so this post will be mainly a recap of the story so far.
Mina Tepes, the loli queen of vampires.
Eh, JP’s nickname is a little off; it’s more like Boobs right now. But we’ll see what happens next episode.
Winter Preview?! It’s like Christmas all over again!
… Well, sorta. This season looks pretty crappy.
