The Vampire Princess Miyu TV series was produced by Anime
International Company. The series began airing on TV Tokyo in
October 1997. It showed every Tuesday at 01:15 until it ended in
March 1998. The series was 26 episodes long, but only 25 episodes
actually showed on TV. The second episode, "At the Next Station,"
did not air on television because it too closely resembled an
actual murder in Japan at that time. The episode was, however,
released on VHS and LD.
The TV series is quite different from the OVA series in plot, characters,
and seiyuu. The TV series Miyu is more withdrawn and collected, not as
playful or child-like as the OVA Miyu. Also her history is different.
While the OVA series Larva is well-known for being unable to remove his
mask or talk, he can do both in the TV series (like in the manga). Other
manga characters (Reiha, Matsukaze, and Shiina) appear in the TV series
while OVA characters (Ranka and Himiko) do not. There is also a Shinma
of the day. Most people feel that the TV series is not as deep and is
less subtle than the OVA series. The TV series is still dark and gothic,
however. The animation is excellent, and the music is wonderful.
Tokyo Pop is currently releasing
Vampire Princess Miyu TV in North America.
