A psychic finds her life very interesting when she crosses paths with
a mysterious vampire princess who doesn't seem all that bad.

Comments:
Miyu is one of the most disturbing things I have seen; the more so
because there isn't anything in the whole series which should cause
it. An eerie, alternate-legend tale from the East which shows that
vampires are more than just blood-sucking fiends. Told in four
episodes, each with an independent main plot, and a sub-plot tying
the episodes together.
My gripes (minor):
The story is, in anime fashion, disjointed. Oh, and I want more.
(I appear to be getting my wish soon...)
My likes:
Nice music, nice art, and the style just brings out the oddness of
the world.
