Vintage vampire video by Osamu Tezuka
11 May 2007
This vintage live action/animated vampire video is the opening sequence for the pilot version of Vampire (Banpaiya), an old TV series created by Osamu Tezuka. Originally broadcast in Japan in the late ’60s, the 26-part series centers around a vampire (looks like a werewolf) who comes from a vampire village to Tokyo and lands a job as an animator with Osamu Tezuka (who plays himself). Doubtless the freaky live action/animated style blew a few minds.

Definitely not one of Tezuka’s better moments. The theme song is hilarious, but I think the title of the show should have been Ookamiotoko.

cool, really camp.
Wow…they really didn’t differentiate between werewolves and vampires in that show, did they?
Would’ve been interesting to see the rest of it though.
