Veggie Heroes: The Vampiyans!

Japan is definitely a progressive country in many aspects, but, as their many Far East neighbours, they do not shine when it comes to compassionate living and show almost no respect towards innocent fishes and seafood (why calling these seafood at all? anybody with a good alternative? what about seafriends?).

Yet, there are some enlightened minds without dubts (check back for future post about the height of Japanese vegan friendliness). In fact, a new cartoon recently released out of Japan is about the Vampyrian. That is a cute and friendly family of Vampires who are... totally Vegetarian!

According to the production site the Vampiyan Kids are
a noble family of vegetarian vampires, banished from Monster Land for their
inability to scare humans. To lift the exile set on the family, Papa, the head
of the household, must scare 1000 humans. To this end, he attempts to use his
magnificent skills in making new inventions, but always and inevitably fails. To
complicate things further, Papa's daughter Sue falls in love with a young
human boy and no longer wants to return to Monster Land. Will Papa ever get
his family back home?

Cute! This seems a rare example of fun yet child proof Japanese animee! And definitely veggie forward! More generation of Japanese veggie kids to come?

It would be great if this cartoon was translated in french, as other Japonese ones.

Hopefully it is translated into English as well. Lately many Japanese cartoons have shown here in South Africa.

Veggie vampire! LOL! So funny.

I know what you mean about all the fishing, there and in lots of areas in the world. It's sad to see, and I honestly feel afraid when I see the catches brought it. To me it looks like complete disrespect and destruction. :( I'm happy there's a vampire spreading the message!

SeaFriends is such a great term that I'll be borrowing! My cousin & his family live in Japan -- and it's gnarly what some call food. Glad to hear of some progress.

Hi, I was wondering if I could join this blog club. My blog is pretty new, but I would love to be part of this, and I would put the lists on my blog too. What should I do to join, or is my blog too new?

Papa, Mama, and Sue are juice-drinking vampires from the monster worldbet basketball but there’s a problem! They’ve been kicked out for not being scary! The human world offers similar challenges, as Papa is still unable to scare 1000 humans – the price of being able to return to the monster world. Papa’s inventions never seem to work and Sue has sportsbook unfortunately become enamored with a human boy named Kou; with these roadblocks and more in their way, will the Vampiyan family ever earn their way home?
Shirobon is the newest member of the Jetters, a defense force against theHigehige-dan, a criminal gang bent on stealing all the unique objects in theuniverse. Immature march madness and inexperienced, he has it tough as the main fighter ofa team whose best member has gone missing: Mighty, Shirobon's older brother.
