Rose Faerie's Review Violence: There's light action. I don't recall anything disturbing. The only blood is from the vampire blood drinking scenes, which aren't gorey in the slightest. Sex and Nudity: A girl and a boy kiss and after the kiss, the girl's bra is exposed a little bit. The scene is brief. Theological Themes: We have spirits and monsters, as well as vampires (obviously). This is a horror series, after all. Himiko is a spiritualist, and so she can see and communicate with spirits. Most of the spirits are considered evil, though Miyu herself is morally ambiguous. Problematic Themes: I don't recall any swearing or substances. Overall: I enjoyed it. I gave it a 7, since, while it didn't leave me wanting to see it again, the Vampire Princess Miyu OVA series left me wanting more of Miyu and her life. I'm realizing I have a soft spot for episodic supernatural stories. The stories were nice, though I greatly preferred the second and the fourth over the rest of them. The other two were by no means bad, though. I just thought these two had more interesting concepts and ideas that were explored. Miyu is interesting and definitely morally ambiguous. Himiko is her foil, who stands to oppose her. One thing I did think was off, was that Himiko and Miyu, at certain points, seemed to trade ideals, which made me confused as to what the two characters stood for. The background music was nice, though the voice acting was atrocious. I only had access to the English dub, though. Maybe it's better in the original Japanese. The art is old, though it adds to the retro charm of the series. I recommend it to preteens and up, as I agree with Tubi's PG rating for the series. There wasn't much objectionable content anyways, making it an extremely tame horror anime. |
