Vlad Love

Both are a result of cynical perspective to Anime industry. If you are fed up with anime, watch Vlad Love and watch Gi(a)rlish number!  

Vlad Love and Gosenzo-sama Banbanzai! both are surreal loony plays, with farcical comedy and satire. Both share a "experimental stage play" feeling: they are medium-aware, break the 4th wall, and discuss highly sophisticated themes among a seemingly foolish cast. Both were written and directed by Mamoru Oshii. 

Vlad Love and and Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei both are set in a school, but lack a school themed plot. Rather, an eccentric teacher and a group of equally wacky students are used to discuss sophisticated themes and take ensemble roles in random settings. SZS covers mainly social commentary on idiosyncrasies of Japanese society, while VL mainly deals with the arts and cultural themes (movies in particular). Both use countless references to to their sophisticated non-anime subject matters casually. This often requires side-reading and a rich education to understand all the gags. Both shows have an experimental animation style, episodic structure, and random gag based dark humor. read more 

Do you like anime with lots of self-referential humor, parodies, satire and VERY unpredictable story? Please check the other anime, both Vlad Love and Koni Chan deserve to be more known. 

imo, vlad love was in its own way very similar to urusei yatsura, as if the series' writer/director mamoru oshii was in many ways returning to the sorts of characters and storytelling styles used in the more comedic episodes of the 80's uruyatsu and his other work on patlabor. however, vlad love had me interested from episode 1, but i can't say the same for this new uruyatsu. full disclosure, though, i have a huge bias toward the first anime adaptation. regardless, if the characters, stories, and humor of urusei yatsura are appealing to you, vlad love will likely be your speed as well, and vice versa. 

Vampire and Comedy! Vlad Love might have a bit Romance, Kyuuketsuki sugu shinu doesn't. 

In essence allow to set the viewpoints homage between both cult classic, Each norm represents the hollow difference within underlying context that's resolve true revolutionary have multiple meanings associated in a sense with Oshii’s placeholder 

a good and crazy comedy. Just enjoy the nonsense of this group of friends 

Comedy revolving around a half immortal character staying over at an eccentric character's house, but Vlad has more ecchi and wackiness as opposed to the plain and tv comedy that jashin chan has
