I really liked this one. I like the humor, and the wicked cool vamps in it 🙂

 

[Black Eye Guy]

I agree about the humour, I found this arc to be really funny. The throw out lines were great!

 

[VisionGirl]

I love this whole arc! I find the setting interesting, and the Japanese vamps were bad-ass. Plus the whole Dracula thing. Yep, one of my favorite arcs in season 8.

I liked this story a lot on the whole, and the opening issue was good. Xander and Renee are a great pairing. I like the mystery of the new vampire sect that has been stealing Dracula's powers too. It's a neat idea.

A little strange that Buffy would sleep with Satsu literally an issue after telling her that she's not gay and can't be involved with her. The scene where everyone discovers they're in bed together was priceless, but still, kind of a dick move on Buffy's part.
