MVM to Reissue Vampire Princess Miyu
posted on by Andrew Osmond
MVM has tweeted that it will be reissuing the series Vampire Princess Miyu in the second quarter of 2013. MVM had previously released the 26-part TV version of the vampire anime, in six DVD volumes (the first volume pictured right). However, the format and other details of this new edition have not been confirmed.
The series revolves around the half-human, half-vampire girl named Miyu who is trapped in a body that will remain a teenager forever. Miyu, who can walk around in the daylight but must drink blood to survive, hunts down supernatural beings who would harm the human race and sends them back to the dark realms.
The series is based on Toshiki Hirano and Narumi Kakinouchi's 10-volume manga series. Hirano (Devil Lady, Angel Heart) also directed the series, with character designs by Megumi Kadonosono (Kiddy Grade, Clannad). Kenji Kawai (Ghost in the Shell, The SKy Crawlers, Eden of the East) handled the music for the series.
Before the TV version, there had been a previous Vampire Princess Miyu anime released as a four-part OAV.
