There's the pun in the title.

I don't know, but, even though I haven't watched Vlad Love yet, I noticed a pun in the title, and it seems like no one has ever mentioned it (however, I haven't opened episode discussions to avoid spoilers, it may be here.) Now I'm gonna explain my point.
First of all, the original title is ぶらどらぶ which is read as 'burado rabu'. 'Burado' is how Japanese people would usually pronounce the name Vlad, however, the premise of this anime is related to blood. Japanese people read the English word 'blood' as 'burado', too, this is what makes a pun. Vlad = Blood = Burado.
I don't think that's a coincidence, it was certainly made on purpose. Or maybe I'm being extremely delusional.

According to my dictionary app, "blood" is spelled "ブラッド"="ぶらっど"="buraddo" in Japanese, so it's not the exact same. But maybe it's still supposed to be that pun, don't know.

That seems relatively common among Japanese authors. HeroAca uses the same pun with its "Blood Hero" Vlad King. The other two obvious ones are Mai Vlad (My Blood) Transylvania and Chimatsuri Chihiro (both "chi" are spelled with 血, the kanji for blood). I recall seeing 血 in a couple names but I might be wrong about that.

Of course "Vlad" was originally the name of the ruler who inspired Dracula so it must have started as a coincidence and got progressively more popular as a pun over the years. His nickname, Țepeș (the Impaler), is also pretty popular in vampire stories.
