Summary: A great show, I'm hooked!!! It's great.
Review: I have never seen the OVA's of Miyu, but I finally broke down and bought this one just because I thought it looked interesting enough and I got totally hooked! It's a great story, and Miyu is a very cool character. I really like her dubbed voice, it fits her quite nicely. And Larva is a very enigmatic and scene stealing character. Overall, I really have no complaints, it has great animation, great music and each episode has its own mini-story but the overall story slowly unfolds as well. Some of the episodes are creepy and others are sad because of how the evil Shinma take advantage of the humans, but it's not really a "gothic" show in my opinion. It's just anime at its best. I already have the second volume and I can't wait to buy the rest! Check it out!

Summary: Great, just different from the OAVs . . .
Review: I liked this series but I do have complaints about it. For one thing, I wish they had released the VHS in Japanese with English subtitles because the OAV was so great that way. However, the voice casting was excellent, as was the animation. But Miyu is so much more serious than in the OAVs. Also, Larva isn't supposed to be able to talk, because his face and voice were sealed away forever. It's not as dark as the OAVs but it was excellent nonetheless. I recommend it.

Summary: Not so interesting
Review: I was looking forward to this, because some japanimation is very good. But that seems to be mostly movies, I have not see any TV shows yet that I found I truly liked. And this is no exception. Beyond the titilatin of vampires and school uniforms, it really does not have much. Boring drawings, not very original concepts, and trivial story.

Summary: An Incredible Series
Review: I went into this one thinking, "Well, I like vampire stuff but it kinda looks like a chick anime." I'm happy to report it's much more.Sure, the main character and her companions are Japanese school girls, but this doesn't stop Miyu from battling a unique and very cool new demon each episode. And as for Miyu herself, she's a regular hottie with a cool background. Her grimk reaper inspired servant Lava just about steals the show however.Now, although I heard the next dvd's (which I plan to buy asap) were done ok, this one has all kinds of flaws. They omit the opening/closing music on 2 of the 3 episodes (although its not that great anyway). There are NO chapter breaks, just three tracks, one per episode. There are NO extras. The subtitling omits onscreen japanese words and song lyrics. But these flaws on the part of the dvd are overshadowed by suprisingly cool content. Thanks TokyoPop!

Summary: Mmmmm...Shin'ichirou-sama...
Review: OK, I admit right off, I'm a severe Kyuuketsuki Miyu fangirl. I adore the OAVs, and initally was suspicious of the telly series, because the actors were changed. (Ok, so Shiozawa-sama died in the interim, sadly.) But. I happened to see a couple episodes in a convention film room, and I was blown away. It's still Miyu, still riveting, but there's more action, episodic plot rather than one overlying plot, and Miki Shin'ichirou. (Hmm...who's a Weiß fan?) Admittedly, it was the promise of Iwanaga Tetsuya and Yuuki Hiro that made me buy this DVD...but really, it's amazing. Not as hyper-kawaii-fast paced as some other anime, but definitely captivating. The new little shinma companion adds kawaii factor, and overall it's not as brooding as the OAV. The character designs are more shoujo now (bigger eyes, etc), and the movement is smoother. I can't wait to get the next volume!

Summary: An incredible step up from the fantastic OAV series!!!!!
Review: The Vampire Princess Miyu TV series features Miyu and Larva from the OAV series, but with some differences. At 26 episdoes, there is ample time for character development, providing an alternate background story for both Miyu and Larva. Beginning with Episode 2, the location of action shifts from Kyoto to Tokyo, where Miyu befriends (rather, is befriended by) three classmates in an all-girl school, yet she must keep her true identity and purpose from her friends. Also, Miyu's rival appears occasionally throughout the series, adding another element of intrigue. Most episodes follow a "shinma of the week" format, each with different abilities and most also receiving great character development. Those who enjoyed the Vampire Princess Miyu OAV series will absolutely LOVE the TV series!!!!! While not necessarily as dark as the OAV series, the improved character development and additional character interactions are a great treat. The music is superb, simultaneously haunting and enchanting. Overall, the entire TV series - and each individual episode - is anime at its best!!!

Summary: One of the BEST
Review: This is MUCH better than OVA of vampire Miyu. When I watched OVA, I found the story very confusing. Throughout these TV series all of the questions you have will get answered. Like who is Larva, why he is serving Miyu... Miyu is very serious in the series, unlike in OVA (I though her laugh was rather annoying). Larva takes off his mask pretty often, so you can see how beautiful he really is ^-^ Miyu looks very pretty too! I am half way into series and I can't stop watching it, the plot is incredibly interesting!! The music is great. One of the best anime series!!
