Ah Vampire Princess Miyu. I remember watching this series when I was around 10 but I still remember enjoying it nevertheless. It really is one of those “unoriginal” series that are fun to watch. I don’t remember much else about the series and I’m starting to wonder if it’s worth re-watching.

I liked this series, but it’s not one i consider awesome. It has it’s moments, but i found alot of it to be a bit on the dull and uninteresting side. The animation at times was really bad, mixed with bad music.

Overal i watched it, but it’s not on my must see at all costs list. i’m not even sure if i still have the DVD’s of it anymore lol (or is it one of those that o have on VHS tapes like 12 Dragons)

I’m a big fan of Vampire Princess Miyu myself. In fact, it was the show that started me off on animes; before that, my impression was all on the corniness of Pokemon and Sailor Moon and (dare I say it) Dragonball. (personal views only; no offense to aforementioned animes’ fans)

I also love the OP of that anime, which builds up the tension and atmosphere so well, I have actual shivers down my back as I listen. And being the shallow girl that I am, I’m afraid Larva is also my first adult anime crush (my first anime crush was probably the tuxedo guy from Sailor Moon).

I think VPM wins on atmosphere. And the thing is, it isn’t creepy like the Vampire Princess Miyu OVAs, where Miyu appears to be more than half mad. And yet at the same time, there is a pall of darkness that I can only describe as evocative.

I also like how VPM goes against the traditional anime route in that humans and their innocence don’t always get rescued. I find it refreshing and painfully reflective of the real world.

Thanks for your review! This brings back a lot of memories…
