About Nightwalker: The Midnight Detective

Here is what Nightwalker: The Midnight Detective (ナイトウォーカー真夜中の探偵) is about, retold in plain terms: an action, comedy and horror anime by AIC (1998). At its core: Shido Tatsuhiko is not only a private eye... he is also a vampire with no real memory of his past. Joined by Yayoi Matsunaga, a female government agent, Riho Yamazaki, an orphaned teenage girl working as his girl Friday and Guni, a little green imp, Shido needs to face demonic creatures known as Nightbreed.

More of the story: Meanwhile, Cain, the vampire who made him what he is now, is seeking him...

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Shidou Tatsuhiko (Takumi Yamazaki) and Yayoi Matsunaga (Emi Shinohara) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. The run is 12 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with AIC, which means the visual identity of Nightwalker: The Midnight Detective follows that studio's craft. Because it leans on action, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Its 6.5/10 score suggests opinions are split, so it suits viewers who already like the genre. Voice casting, including Takumi Yamazaki as Shidou Tatsuhiko, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. It aired in 1998, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
