Following Ayane Sakura as the human protagonist Mitsugu Bamba, the official YouTube channel for the internationally acclaimed director Mamoru Oshii (Ghost in The Shell)'s highly-anticipated new anime project VLADLOVE has announced that Rina Hidaka (Last Order in A Certain Magical Index) will be playing the maim vampire girl Mai Vlad Transylvania. You can check her voice as the character in an English-subtitled 20-second sample voice video below.

 

The character introduction on the anime's official website:

 

A beautiful vampire girl lost in an unfamiliar land. Mai is descended from the Transylvania clan, a prestigious vampire family. She is shy and faint-hearted, and can’t bite and suck people's blood even though she is a vampire. She was hungry and had no one to turn to, but met Mitsugu, who decided to help her and take her home.

 

 

 

 


 

VLADLOVE is a 12-episode slapstick comedy series. Oshii serves as the general director and screenplay writer, alongside his Urusei Yatsura mate Junji Nishimura as the director. Kenji Kawai, who has collaborated with Oshii for decades, of course, provides the soundtrack music. It is currently set to premiere in the fall of 2020.

 

 

Synopsis:

 

Mitsugu Bamba is a high school girl who finds meaning in donating blood. She frequently visits a blood bank to donate blood, despite being harshly treated by the nurse. One day, she encounters a beautiful girl who looks like she's from overseas at the blood bank. The pale girl looks like she's about to faint any minute, but then, she starts destroying the blood bank. The girl loses consciousness and Mitsugu takes her home...
