| Is there a good Dracula Anime? Preferably with emphasis on the relationship between Mina and Dracula? I searched for Dracula and all I found were kids shows, but I found this picture on wallbase: What is this Anime called? |

FUUUUUl, I thought I had found hope :( I am as of now reading Bram Stoker's Dracula, and I'm totally crazy for Mina Harker<3 To my knowledge, there is no anime that follows the classic novel. You are going to have to resort to film, the best of which I feel are: Dracula (1979) Bram Stoker's Dracula (1993) Both have good Mina's. There is also a series of book from 1994 called Mina: The Dracula Story Continues by Maire Kiraly. As for anime , try Vampire Hunter D. It bears little relation to Stoker's vamp but it is darn good. Others worthwhile but bearing no resemblance to Stoker: Blood+ - no relation to Stoker but a compelling story and engaging characters Blood: The Last Vampire - action and gore Dance in the Vampire Bund - anime sucks. I'm told the manga is good Hellsing - Action and gore Hellsing Ultimate - Action and gore Hitsuji no Uta - Interesting take on the myth Kurozuka - interesting NightWalker - Mildly amusing Shingetsutan Tsukihime - Interesting take on the myth Trinity Blood - Kinda fun Vampire Hunter D - pretty good Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust - very good Vampire Knight - very "twilight" like Vampire Knight Guilty - more of the same Vampire Princess Miyu - actually, pretty good |

| I second Vampire Hunter D and Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust. It's quite old [original movie is from 80s], but it's damn good. Also, if I remember correctly, Dracula is mentioned in 1st movie. Also, I don't recommend Kurozuka. It has about nothing to do with Vampires. It's a try to put together old times of Japan and post Apocalyptic days of Earth. They failed, imho. |

| All of lisnoire's recommendations are good except: lisnoire said: You were misinformed.Dance in the Vampire Bund - anime sucks. I'm told the manga is good. lisnoire said: Not. An. Anime.Shingetsutan Tsukihime - Interesting take on the myth Blood Alone is also good if you're looking for manga. |
| Pic is form Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia. Great game though. For more generic vampire anime, try Shiki. Also seconding Hellsing Ultimate. It does have Dracula, and will have some interesting interesting flashbacks, even a unusual take on the reasons for Vlad's hatred for the Ottoman empire. Mina may be present too (Can't recall, might have been in the manga's sidestory), though in a unusual and strictly prop-based role. |

I've read the hellsing manga, watched the hellsing anime, and I think I'm halfway trough Hellsing Ultimate. The hellsing anime SUCKS, but the manga is awesome. And it does feature Mina Harker. Dead. Like dead for forever dead. Oh how I would love to be Dracula, and fondle me some of Harker's tits. raWWWWWWrrrrrr. |

| There is an animated movie in production based on the Castlevania game series called Castlevania:Dracula's Curse . It might be close to what you're looking for though it's uncertain when it will be released. |

| not to derail the topic but you can try (if you haven't) Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula film starring Gary Oldman and Winona Ryder. and for more vampire readings see Carmilla by Sheridan La Fanu, the one who influenced Stoker's novel. (beware of lesbian vampires) in case you're wondering, yes, I'm a Dracula fan as well. |
