Dance in the Vampire Bund after episode 03

What a nice homely girl she is. I'm just a high school boy, savin' the vampire princess.  Note the high contrast style present in this shot.

Not much different from my own skinny chest. She got what she deserved for being terribly prejudiced.

The second and third episodes revealed the true nature of this show, and they were better than the almost arduous to watch first episode. There is a clear animation style at play here: the show has a propensity to display shots of high contrast, usually an area where it is bright, and another dark. There is also a tendency for leg and skirt shots that borders on revealing the inner undergarments (if they are wearing any) of these pretty girls. In line with previous Shaft works, some shots are almost artistically driven. I would describe Dance in the Vampire Bund as a deeply atmospheric, gothic-like, and somewhat teasingly sexy anime. Anyways, while I can appreciate the deliberately crafted presentation of Dance in the Vampire Bund, so far the only character I care about is Yuki. She is a nice homely girl who unfortunately I fear may eventually lose her romantic pursuit.
