Samehere. Some that needs vamp blood? That one was a nice one. Didn't see that coming at all and the priest guy is funny.

I gotta say...Abel reminds me of Vash The Stampede. A klutzy knucklehead as a cover, but when it's time to throw down, he's a total badass.

Nice observation. I'm mostly curious about who this Gunslinger guy is..
Red Wind Ranger
ALL HAIL TO ULFRIC!
I loved it. If they ever made an anime based on Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles Gonzo is definitely the studio to make it.

I thought the same thing, and then when he "unleashed" his power, I thought of Alucard, from Hellsing. So he's (Vash + Alucard) / 2. Still in the badassery range, though.
I enjoyed the first episode, but I'm going to withhold my review until I can watch a few more tonight. My first impression is this:
Why'd the vampires have to be aliens?
Why does this guy "unleash" his power like Alucard in Hellsing?
Why does he have to be a klutzy badass, instead of just an unassuming badass?
Still, there's a lot of promise, and I'm a sucker for a good vampire movie/show/anime.

Can anyone confirm if the vampires are aliens or not?

They aren't aliens.
From Wikipedia:
Methuselah (Vampire)
The Methuselah (based on the Biblical Methuselah) are a group of humans that have been infected by a virus that drives them to feed on human blood. Before the symptoms manifest, contact with sunlight does not harm them, and they age at the same speed as uninfected human. But once the symptoms start to make themselves evident, an "awakening", the virus will prolong the lifespan of its host, in addition to bestowing superior strength and healing ability. In turn, it feeds on its host's red blood cells, and when they become depleted, the virus will cause its host to crave blood, thus earning them the name "vampire". Common perceptions associated with the undead monster of mythology do not, however, hold true with regards to them: they can procreate (offspring inherit the condition), and they can consume normal food.
Once exposed to UV radiation, the virus will become overactive and consume the host's body. This gives the impression that the Methuselah's body is being burned up by sunlight and smoking - the latter effect being, in truth, water vapor.
The term "Methuselah" in the context of the series is what most vampires in general and Imperial nobles in particular prefer to be referred as; to call them "vampires" to their faces is often construed as a vulgar insult.
