About Vampire Princess Miyu

Looking for background on Vampire Princess Miyu (吸血姫美夕)? This action, drama and horror series by AIC (1988) starts out like this. What the story covers: A quiet gothic horror story about a vampire girl, Miyu, whose destiny it is to hunt down murderous demons known as Shinma and return them to their land of origin, the Dark. Miyu is pursued by the Spiritualist Himiko, determined to find out who Miyu is and to stop her from sucking the life blood from helpless humans.

Next up: Each of the four episodes chronicle one of Miyu's encounters with a Shinma and the humans that it is affecting, from the perspective of Himiko's pursuit of Miyu.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Miyu Yamano (Naoko Watanabe) and Larva (Kaneto Shiozawa) are two of the characters you will meet early. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. At 4 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with AIC, which means the visual identity of Vampire Princess Miyu follows that studio's craft. Because it leans on action, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 6.5/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Voice casting, including Naoko Watanabe as Miyu Yamano, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. It aired in 1988, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
