Hah, I always thought Anne Rice vampires were the first wave of porny ones, but I've never actually seen or read her stuff. I've just heard people drool about their sexiness and gay subtext...but given me and my ilk see gay subtext in everything, that may not mean a damned thing.
I don't know, I think Sunako romanticizes her situation and makes excuses for her lot pretty freely. She's also kind of into identity politics, not liking to be called vampires but liking to call her "servant" class werewolves. But I don't like her, so I'm prone to see the worst in her. I do agree she'd probably hate the more modern vampire fiction where they're less disadvantaged/dead/disgusting and more super powered hunks and babes, but that might be jealousy...
Some of Seishin's internal monologues makes it into the next episode previews Seishin narrates. I never saw those until I got the DVDs, but I think if a series were going more off of the novel that it'd be central enough to have in the series proper. Maybe for a reformat to the novel, a visual/sound novel would be better suited than an anime. I've been toying with the idea of pasting the text into a VN. They're not too difficult to make, aside from having to make character sprites. With some creative interfacing, one might be able to get by just with character face icons, too.
But then again, we're still just at the build up point. Maybe it will feel more action oriented when we get to the vampiric reveal.
