Summary of Vampire Princess Miyu - OAV (Vol. 1)
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.Director Toshihiro Hirano (Magic Knight Rayearth) based this four-part OAV series on a horror manga by his wife, Narumi Kakinouchi, and the title has remained popular since it appeared in 1988-89. In "Unearthly Kyoto," the viewer meets Himiko Se, a self-described spiritualist, who has come to the ancient capital to perform an exorcism on a princess who has been in a coma for 60 days. The assignment brings her into conflict with the title character, who has dedicated her existence to destroying the Shinma, a race of demon-gods who attack humans. The two women square off again at a school where the students are inexplicably disappearing in "A Banquet of Marionettes." The skeptical, rational Himiko makes an effective foil for the powerful and sensual Miyu, who battles the Shinma with the aid of her redoubtable servant Larva, a creature with a face like a scarred carnival mask. Miyu resembles a cross between a traditional Japanese doll and an anime heroine. She is delicately beautiful, but self-assured and in command of formidable powers. And her beauty has a perverse edge: she remains a vampire who offers humans immortality in exchange for the blood she requires. Quite literally a femme fatale, Miyu recalls the beautiful but deadly heroines so popular in turn-of-the-century Western literature. Unrated; suitable for ages 13 and up for violence and grotesque imagery. --Charles Solomon
