Wow Thats quite enjoyable I supposed O_O

Its like watching a short movie ! xD
I didn't read the manga , but I find the show to be quite pleasing . Some of it
are quite funny too(even though it consist of akward jokes scenes)

but anyway , 8/10 . I am being generous , it really deserve 7 but +1 because I enjoyed the show xD
The seiyuus done their part really nice.
This definitely has become one of my favorite anime-movies.

Good show , and enjoyable :)

I would like a TV version, but we will probably never have one! maybe more OVA but I don't think so... because it's definitely not a "man show" but a "GIRL SHOW!" at least the manga is shoujo/josei manga, specially the great ending!!! *heart*

This is the main point for creating an OVA! promote the manga... nothing else! specially since the OVA is on sell with, and only with, the last volume of the manga!

well what's the point of promoting a manga when it's finished? normally you'd just promote something that's ongoing to boost sales. there's no real point in promoting a finished series, unless there's going to be a sequel. this just boosted the sale of the last volume of the manga and that's pretty much it

Fujiwara Keiji was perfect for him. I was worried about how his voice would work since I haven't listened to any of the drama CDs yet.

I wasn't expecting the OVA to turn out as good as it did, but what a pleasant surprise.
I didn't think they'd stay so close to the manga in certain parts.

Really wish there was more.

Good animation and good voices too.

As much as I like Rayflo...for some reason I just can't get into Vassalord.
The same thing happened when I picked up the manga a while back. D;

5 or 6 out of 10. I honestly don't know.

Wow I totally forgot about that one, good that I remembered \o/ It was beautifully and amazingly made for a stand alone OVA and I guess I've to re-start the manga now and actually continue it this time. I'd love an anime for it, but I better don't get my hopes up.

Man, I want to be one of Johnny's maids, seeing him naked would be my motivation to get to work each and every day (*ノ▽ノ) He's so totally my type (only look-wise though for now)

For those who previously read the manga "maybe" they would think a bit different, in my case, it wasn't bad, it was fine, yeah. I have mixed feelings since vassalord has a very complex story telling, the manga is not straight forward it all, it hides many things, you have to connect the hints across the story to understand past and present, i see in this ova feels like is too much compressed, it was nice to see that some moments were exactly like the manga but i'm just talking of small details, is just the way some frames were animated, that was nice, however i think if this were more obscure and slow would be more close to the manga, vassalord is truly a excellent vampire story, i don't know if the hint at the end means to some more anime or just promo for the manga like some people said. Voices were very good <3<3<3

Boring shit.
Very like BL, vampires and IG Production, but this one... just nothing... No plot, no logic, no characters. Action and blood only.

You know, it's an OVA, on sale only, ONLY with the LAST volume of the manga, so it's aimed at people and only people who buy/read the manga... you shouldn't even watched it, you just downloaded/streamed it isn't it?
Boring? no plot? no logic? no characters... everything is in the manga! read it and then, THEN you will be able to enjoy this anime! -_-'

Seriously, it's not with this OVA/OAD but for all of them! If you don't know the source material you can, in some extend, enjoy it, but definitely not as much as if you know it! That's why it's sell WITH the manga, and not just alone, like stand alone anime!
Vassalord have a great plot with funny parts, sad parts, frustrating parts... sexy bishounen (and sexy bishoujo) giving sometimes fanservice ^o^ and the ending, the ending... !!! ^___^

It was pretty good. I wish they had animated more of Chris' backstory because that's my favorite part and what made me decide to keep going with the manga. (I was on the fence until that part.) I guess there was no time to fit it in though. I would like more episodes.

Ok, this needs a full movie or 13 episode series.. For what it was, it freakin' awesome. But it is so rushed, I don't understand much of anything.. I barely can remember the names chriss and ray-something I think, Princess Maria. I have no idea what the relationship between everyone is.. and I'm pretty sure that most of the manga was ruined.  And since nothing was explained at all, none of the events or why that guy died didn't make any sense to me either... but I can't blame then seeing what they did in only with only 27 min. I all of that in 27 F*^%^&*ing minutes? That is an accomplishment. I wish that we had more character development and I knew the motives of the characters, but 27 minutes...

Awesome art and animation. Also some nice twists, especially the one in the end.
Good OST, although I think someone sampled Ike Yoshihiro's music, i.e. New Pulse I from Ergo Proxy soundtrack (01:03 here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMobOPSmZjc).

Watched this without reading the manga so I was pretty surprised about the comedy (it looks like a serious drama) and the cyborg vampire. The opening scene was pretty good with the maids and the humour. It's a shame it's just a 1 ep OVA, looks like lots of potential for a compelling storyline and interesting characters.

Shocked at how polished the whole style and art was. And that action animation was DAMN. Gonna go read the manga I guess, for now it's a 6/10 but will probably end up bumping this up once I have so fucking context.

Also that trashy synopsis should be rewritten.

So Rayflo woke up after 7days after being a bat, that's really something. So in the first place he sacrificed himself so Charles could live, in other words kill Marie.

I don't know, I kinda liked Marie she is such a cute vampire princess.

Overall it was enjoyable and Rayflo was an interesting vamp, but I didn't like Charles.

8/10 nonetheless.

Oh Rayflo, why are thou so hot? And why did I see this only now?
The animation/art was too good to believe, flawless action, faithful character design. I needed a cigarette after watching.
Wish they made a longer series or movie, it's a little frustrating but with such results you can't really complain.
Gotta finish the manga asap. As far as I can recall it was gayer than this adaptation.

watching, waiting, commiserating
