Vampire hunter Ronald has received a job to rescue the son of a woman from the castle of what is said to be a legendarily powerful vampire.
However, upon arriving, he finds that this “powerful” vampire named Draluc immediately turned to ash when he kicked in the door. In fact, most things scatter him into a pile of ash as this “legendarily powerful vampire” is just strange reputation given to him. He’s actually super weak to everything.
Furthermore, the child in question was just freeloading there to play games during the day when Draluc was asleep and unaware.
In a strange turn of events, Draluc’s castle is destroyed and he and his armadillo move in with Ronald at his office. Now the pair work together taking care of the vampires and other problems that plague the city.
Gag comedy is often a “small dose” sort of anime, but The Vampire Dies in No Time was often so unexpected it expertly drew you in to see what random crap was going to happen next. If you are looking for more anime recommendations like The Vampire Dies in No Time, head on down below.
Anime Like The Vampire Dies in No Time
For Fans of Vampire Comedy
Vlad Love
Mitsugu is a high school girl who finds meaning in her life donating her rare, but mostly worthless blood.
One day while visiting a blood bank she encounters a beautiful foreign girl. While this girl looks like she is about to faint, she ends up destroying the blood bank, causing Mitsugu to lose consciousness.
The next thing she knows, she is in the home of a vampire.
While The Vampire Dies in No Time subverts a lot of vampire expectations and uses that for comedy, Vlad Love leans into more into what you would expect from vampires while still being a comedy.
In Vald Love, a relatively normal vampire with some quirks, starts living with a human with a few quirks of her own.
Vlad Love enjoys its slapstick comedy like The Vampire Dies in No Time, but doesn’t quite have the same frantically silly pace to it.
Blood Lad
Staz Charlie Blood is a powerful vampire that rules the Eastern section of the Demon World. While rumor will tell you he is blood-thirsty and vicious, in reality, he is just a big otaku.
While his underlings manage his world, he spends his days mired in anime and manga. However, when a Japanese girl accidentally wanders into his realm, Staz is thrilled, only to be heartbroken by her untimely death.
Now Staz vows to resurrect her, but probably because it means he gets to go to the human world.
Both series are about vampires that aren’t what people expected them to be. When you say “all-powerful” vampire, you expect a certain type of person, and neither vampire in Blood Lad or The Vampire Dies in No Time is that type.
However, unlike The Vampire Dies in No Time, Staz is actually quite powerful in Blood Lad. He is just also a silly otaku. So you watch him flip into serious mode on occasion when he needs to fight.
While Blood Lad is a little lighter on the overall comedy than The Vampire Dies in No Time, it does have some legitimately good action scenes and similarly silly characters.
Ms. Vampire Who Lives in My Neighborhood
In Akari’s neighborhood, there are rumors of an ageless girl that only comes out at night and lives in a mansion in the forest.
While seeking out this girl, Akari grows lost in the woods and is saved by the girl of rumor.
It turns out the girl is a vampire named Sophie. She orders to blood online and avoids attacking humans.
Akari, a connoisseur of dolls, is instantly charmed by her doll-like appearance and moves in.
Whereas The Vampire Dies in No Time is a gag comedy show about a super weak vampire and a vampire hunter, Ms. Vampire Who Lives in My Neighborhood is more “Cute Girls Doing Cute Things” soothing comedy with a vampire and a very clingy human.
Instead of gags, the comedy comes from the weird quirks of the human girls and vampires as they coexist in their slice of life activities.
Regardless of that clear difference, if nothing else, both The Vampire Dies in No Time and Ms. Vampire Who Lives in My Neighborhood are both about a human and a vampire suddenly living together.
For Fans of Supernaturals Working With Humans
Drop Kick on My Devil
The demon Jashin was summoned to Earth by an occult dabbler named Yurine. However, although Yurine successfully summoned her, she doesn’t know how to send her back.
Now, Jashin ends up living with Yurine as her familiar. She knows the only way to go back now is to kill Yurine, but Jashin, incompetent as she is, can’t seem have any schemes go right.
Both The Vampire Dies in No Time and Drop Kick on My Devil has a supernaturally-involved human and a supernatural creature being forced to live together. They don’t get along well.
Their contentious relationship serves as the comedy, so too does the ineptitude of the supernatural creature.
However, Drop Kick on My Devil is distinctly different as Jashin is trying to kill her human while Draluc is often dusted by his human for comedic effect.
You’re Being Summoned, Azazel
Sakuma is employed by the Akutabe Detective Agency to do regular office work. However, one day she discovers the secret to Akutabe’s mystery-solving success. It turns out he is a demon detective, capable of summoning demons from a grimoire and utilizing special abilities to solve cases.
Intrigued, Sakuma wants to start learning to become a demon detective, but the demon who becomes attached to her – Azazel – isn’t quite what she hoped for.
Of all the series on this list, You’re Being Summoned, Azazel is the anime most like The Vampire Dies in No Time.
Both series feature private eyes who end up being consistently annoyed by a supernatural creature that will not leave. The only real difference is that one is a vampire and one is a demon.
Both series are gag comedies and revel in mostly just being that. A lot of that comedy also comes from the supernatural creature being kind of a sleaze or a layabout instead of being menacing.
Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-kun
Iruma Suzuki has had a tough life. His parents are irresponsible, so he must work to earn money to take care of himself.
One day, he discovers that his parents have sold him to the demon, Sullivan. Afraid at first, he relaxes when he discovers that the demon merely wants a grandchild.
As Sullivan is the headmaster of the demon school Babyls, he enrolls Iruma. However, Iruma soon discovers that as the grandchild of Sullivan, he is now expected to take the throne of the Demon King.
Despite its passion for the occasional dirty joke, both The Vampire Dies in No Time and Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-kun feel like comedy anime for a younger audience, but can be enjoyed by all.
What makes Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-kun most like The Vampire Dies in No Time is that most supernatural creatures kind of end up kowtowing to a human that actually isn’t powerful so much as he is incredibly lucky.
While they both also share a large cast go increasingly quirky characters, Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-kun does have an action plot that it follows. They are often similar to the arc-type plots in The Vampire Dies in No Time, but treated more seriously.
Cuticle Detective Inaba
Alongside normal people, half-animal people also thrive. However, half-animal criminals who commit crimes often leave police stumped. This is where detectives like Hiroshi Inaba come in.
Inaba, a part-wolf detective, possesses the ability to extract critical information by sampling someone’s hair.
His hair fetish aside, Inaba and his assistants scour the city to help catch half-animal criminals and his nemesis, a half-goat crime boss named Don Valentino.
If Draluc were a vampire hunter, The Vampire Dies in No Time would be almost exactly like Cuticle Detective Inaba.
Both series are about private detectives that take supernatural cases.
The Vampire Dies in No Time works as a duo that shares equal spotlight while Cuticle Detective Inaba has Inaba vastly outshine his assistants.
Both shows have a large quirky cast of characters and have the same random approach to comedy.
Gugure! Kokkuri-san
One day, self-proclaimed doll Kohina Ichimatsu accidentally summons a fox spirit named Kokkuri.
Rendered powerless by modern society taking all his believers, this fox of once-legend takes it upon himself to ensure Kohina lives a decent life as well as gets proper meals.
Both Gugure! Kokkuri-san and The Vampire Dies in No Time are comedies about supernatural creatures and humans that dabble in the supernatural suddenly living together.
They both feature beings that sort of force their way into homes. However, in Gugure! Kokkuri-san, he is more of a cranky caretaker than freeloading and occasionally helpful Draluc.
Gugure! Kokkuri-san is more of a wholesome style comedy, however.
For Fans of Absurd Unexpected Style Comedy
The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.
Saiki Kusou has a wide array of superpowers that include things like telepathy and telekinesis.
He is so overpowered that he could, in fact, conquer the world in just a few days, but Saiki just wants to live a normal life. He dislikes his superpowers and does his best to hide them so he can live peacefully.
It doesn’t go well.
Saiki K is to paranormal comedy as The Vampire Dies in No Time is to supernatural comedy. It is random, the characters are uniquely weird and it just follows the random events that happen around the main characters.
Both series are successful comedies because they are wholly unexpected comedies. You watch them to see what odd thing is going to happen next.
Gintama
After aliens invade Japan, they put a prohibition on swords. However, Gintoki Sakata still possesses the heart of a samurai.
Taking on odd jobs alongside of his friends, Gintama follows Gintoki during his chaotic life as an errand boy.
The Vampire Dies in No Time, aside from being about the supernatural instead of aliens in Feudal Japan, actually watches quite a bit like Gintama. Mostly it is because they have a similar balance of comedy and plot.
They both do have plots, but the comedy is often the bigger focus because it is the bigger draw. However, The Vampire Dies in No Time never quite reaches the level of intense in plot that Gintama can sometimes achieve.
Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle
In order to sow chaos and discord among the human kingdom, the Demon King Tasogare abducted the beloved human princess, Syalis.
In an effort to rescue her, a mighty hero sets forth.
Meanwhile, held in the demon castle, Princess Syalis discovers that being held captive is quite boring. She decides to sleep away her time awaiting rescue, but… She can’t sleep.
Cheap bedding, insomnia, and demonic snores plague her as she tries to get a solid night’s sleep.
The Vampire Dies in No Time is a bit more intense with its comedy, but the more laid-back nature of the comedy in Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle doesn’t make it any less effective. It still hits well, it just isn’t often delivered in a frenzy.
What The Vampire Dies in No Time and Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle most have in common is their passion for large casts of interesting characters. The titular Sleepy Princess is rather normal, but the demons of the castle come in every shape and personality not unlike the vampires and hunters in The Vampire Dies in No Time.
Arakawa Under the Bridge
Kou Ichinomiya, as the son of a wealthy businessman, has vowed never to become indebted to anyone.
However,when he falls in the river under Arakawa Bridge, someone dives in to save him, thus he owes his life to this person. She is a homeless girl named Nino who wants only one thing – to fall in love.
In order to pay her back, he accepts her offer to be her boyfriend, thus moving out of his home and starting a new life under the bridge.
Did you enjoy The Vampire Dies in No Time because there seemed to be a never-ending barrage of creatively silly characters that also ended up often being reoccurring? Arakawa Under the Bridge is very much the same way.
In both series, the two main characters are rather normal, but they interact with some increasingly abnormal local residents.
However, unlike The Vampire Dies in No Time, Arakawa Under the Bridge actually ends up being quite a good romance amidst the comedy. It is also social commentary about societal expectations thinly veiled in its style of gag comedy.
Don’t Hurt Me, My Healer
Being an adventurer is considered a desirable job and an honor. Wanting to make a name for himself, a warrior named Alvin is exploring low level quests to get started.
However, on his quest, he is confronted by a magical bear. Luckily, a dark elf healer named Karla offers her assistance, but instead of healing him, she accidentally casts a curse. Now, if she strays too far from Alvin, he will die!
Forced to adventure together until the curse is broken, Alvin remains steadfast in his desire to be an adventurer despite Karla’s eccentric whims.
Both The Vampire Dies in No Time and Don’t Hurt Me, My Healer are built upon the same character relationship – two people that comically don’t get along.
While they have a mutually beneficial partnership, they also clash with each other over virtually everything else.
However, perhaps the biggest similarity between Don’t Hurt Me, My Healer and The Vampire Dies in No Time is the endless parade of silly allies, villains, and other side characters.
