The Vampire Dies in No Time

TV anime “The Vampire Dies in No Time” Non-Credit OP

A high-energy gag series starring Draluc, a vampire so weak he turns to sand instantly, and Ronald, a vampire hunter who’s serious to a fault.

It’s hilarious how pathetic Draluc is—he looks tough but dies in a split second—and the chaotic developments keep coming so fast even the straight man can’t keep up! Strange vampires and strong-willed oddballs appear one after another, delivering nonstop laughs every episode, yet it sneakily slips in moments of friendship and kindness that really hit home.

It’s the perfect pick-me-up on a tiring day.

The paradoxical premise of an immortal vampire who dies right away is brilliant, too.
