About Vampire Princess Miyu
Vampire Princess Miyu OVA (1988 to 1989) runs four 28 minute parts with Himiko tracking Miyu across Kyoto and doll cases. Directed from Narumi Kakinouchi manga at AIC, each part isolates one Shinma sorrow.
Vampire Princess Miyu TV (1997 to 1998) runs twenty six episodes with schoolgirl Miyu and Larva facing weekly Shinma. Watch the OVA first for Himiko lens and gothic tone, then TV for expanded hunts. The TV retells with new cipher cases rather than continuing OVA plots, so release order preserves mood escalation.
Good to know
Release order is the viewing order since TV assumes OVA guardian rules and tone. Start with the 1988 OVA for Himiko pursuit setup that defines Miyu sorrow and Shinma duty. The TV run expands hunts after that lens, so save it for second. As a completed OVA plus TV run, these two entries form the full anime guide.
