Vampire Princess Miyu Vol. 1 DVD

Enter the frightening world of "Vampire Princess Miyu," where demons are out to defeat the forces of good. In the first episode of the series, "Unearthly Kyoto," the heroic spiritualist Himiko journeys to the ancient Japanese capital to exorcise a demon from a child. There, she is confronted with a series of vampire attacks and must find the creature -- or creatures -- responsible. Could the culprit be the mysterious, beautiful Princess Miyu? Or is Miyu also there to defeat the forces of evil? In "A Banquet of Marionettes," Himiko investigates a series of disappearances at a school. However, the only clue the spiritualist has is a mysterious doll that has been left behind where each student has vanished. While trying to get to the bottom of the mystery, she once again confronts Miyu, who has become a student. Himiko must try to figure out just what the strange princess is up to -- and she doesn't have much time, because Miyu and someone else at the school have designs on Kei, the most popular male student.

A wholly unique anime that has become a classic of its genre, VAMPIRE PRINCESS MIYU is the unsettling story of a centuries old vampire trapped in the body of a young girl named Miyu. Miyu is discovered by the spiritualist and exorcist Himiko, who, seeing past the mask of the young child, realizes that Miyu is a vampire that may be responsible for a series of murders in Kyoto. However, as Himiko observes Miyu, she realizes that Miyu, accompanied by her masked companion, Larva, are actually hunting a race of demons that feed off of human folly called Shinma, who escaped their own Dark world hoping to take over ours. Contains the first two episodes of the four episode OAV series.

This volume includes two episodes in the series: "Unearthly Kyoto" and "A Banquet of Marionettes."
