Visionary creator Mamoru Oshii (Ghost in the Shell) is working on a brand new project that is much more different than what could be expected from the director. VladLove is an original idea that makes the viewer wonder what type of repercussions could come from bringing a vampire home with you?
While Oshii works as both executive director and helping to work on scripts with Kei Yamamura, director Junji Nishimura will also be helming the picture over at Ichigo Animation. Oshii is also bringing in the legendary composer, Kenji Kawai, to create a soundtrack for the series that is sure to be a hit.
Initially, the series was meant to come out this fall, but the COVID-19 pandemic forced the production to delay the release indefinitely. However, as fans wait for the release of the 12 episode series, new character trailers are always being announced.
The most recent character is named Jinko Sumida (voiced by Yoko Hikasa). Sumida is described as "chairman of the Discipline Committee, who is stubborn and inflexible." Make sure to check out the trailer below and don't forget to share your thoughts in the comments!

Instead, she suddenly starts trashing the blood bank. The girl then loses consciousness and so Mitsugu takes her home...
VladLove will be releasing in Japan soon!
