Transylmaniac

***Transylmaniac*** (also named as ***Transylmaniak*** or ***Who I Am***) was a planned 2D animated series under the ZAG Toon brand. Because there's very little news about the series since it was first announced in 2010 on the ZAG website and it was later removed from the website in 2014, it's possible that the show got cancelled.

## Synopsis

*Our hero Drack, half human and half vampire, is confronted with more problems than your average teenager: during the day he must study at school and at night he must fight his neighbor Ray, who is a member of the Bureau for the Interception of Creatures. Drack must learn how to master his vampire powers to protect his family from being discovered and arrested by the BIC.*
