This came a gag manga about a young “elite” man Riku, who has a policy of not being in debt to anyone. But then he ends up accidentally being in debt to someone who saved his life. He owes it to a strange girl named Nino, who lives under a bridge and claims she’s a Martian. Since Riku believes that he has to pay his debt to her saving him, he offers to be her lover and live with her.
Shinbo will definitely do it again. This seems pretty quirky and bizaare that it’s no surprise SHAFT picks these kinds of stuff as they’re right up into their alley. It’s no surprise I’m looking forward to this, even though Vampire Bund is a fail. Still, I enjoy SHAFT’s creativity to do something different with their comedies though. The trailer was lulz. It’s live action and we’re seeing a Kappa coming out from the water. That was… weird. Oh wait I’ll replace it, that was… “SHAFT-y”~ Looking forward to the anime, comes out this Spring (04/2010)

I read the first two chapters of the manga when the anime was green-lit originally. It’s one of the funniest manga in existance and I can’t freaking wait. And hurrah for a trailer

Well, Dance in the Vampire Bund is epic fail but I also look forward to this even if it going to fail again. (But I doubt it since I believe Square-Enix is going to be behind the support. After all they are current supporting with Durarara!! And if they aren’t on this anime, I’ll be disappoint)

Same art and character designs as Ef is a sure sign that this will have animation that is just purely amazing as do most shaft things 🙂 Seems like this should be an interesting and hopefully great show.

for me vampire bund is not fail , i watched episode 5 and the hitory is better with both manga source and anime original history , the animation is not as good than i though it will be but the hitory is getting better , vampire bund is muchh better compared with things like chu bra or ladies versus butlers , and this anime arakawa under the bridge i can’t wait for it but of the new spring season the 2 animes most anticipated for me are maid sama and shiki because i am reading the manga of both and i like them
