The new original anime from Ghost in the Shell Mamoru Oshii , Vlad Love, has been delayed due to Covid-19. The official Twitter account announced today (08/05) that they have decided to change the release date of Vlad Love to protect their staff from the coronavirus, but they warn that they will update the schedule when it is determined.

Synopsis of Vlad Love

Mitsugu Bamba is a high school student who believes donating blood is important. She frequently visits a blood bank to donate, despite always being treated poorly by the nurse. One day, she encounters a beautiful, foreign-looking girl at the blood bank. The pale girl looks like she might faint at any moment, but she begins to destroy the blood bank. The girl loses consciousness, and Mitsugu takes her home...

Vlad Love will have 12 episodes. Mamoru Oshii will be the general director and screenwriter, along with Junju Nishimura as director. Kenji Kawai will be responsible for the soundtrack. The anime was scheduled to premiere in fall 2020, but no release date has been set.
