Miyu is a Guardian, a vampire whose destiny is to hunt down stray shinma (demons, shapeshifters, vampires) and send them back into the darkness from whence they originated. Unlike the TV Series, the Vampire Princess Miyu OVA has a secondary lead character in Spiritualist Himiko. Himiko is under the impression that Miyu has something to do with vampiric victims, and follows her around trying to find out what is going on and to get proof.
The OVA's strength is that the stories are much more interesting than most of the ones in the TV series. There are only 4 episodes and each is unique. The weakness is it tends to be like X-Files, here is the mystery of the week and the shinma/monster of the week. It gets predictably boring after a while, but luckily the short 4 episode length managed to keep it from being too boring or predictable. If there were more background or an overarching plot it would have scored higher.

Honestly, I prefer this to the TV version they made a few years ago. This has more of a classic, old-world gothic horror feel to it. It was one of the first anime I ever watched. The story gripped me and the artwork blew me away.

Another atmospheric anime from the 1990s, it also dwells on the nature of right and wrong--in a difficult situation, what choices are the "right" ones? The ones that bring the least suffering, or the ones that serve the most justice?

Simmilar main character -girl fighting against evil- same animation, highly recommended if you like anime retro.
