Vampires and Anime

The only two vampire anime that I have watched are Vampire Hunter D and Vampire Princess Miyu. Unlike the noir atmosphere that I saw in the Big O, the 'vampire' in most anime seems to be either flavoring or to be missing the Gothic atmosphere. Van Hellsing and Blood probably have their defenders, but compared to

• LeFanu's "Carmilla"
• Bram Stoker's "Dracula"
• Stephen King's "Salem's Lot"
• Rachel Klein's "Moth Diaries"
• White Wolf's "Vampire: the Masquerade"

I think that I'll pass on other vampire anime. In general, if the words 'anime', 'vampire', 'guys' & 'hot' are combined in any phrase, clause, sentence, or paragraph, then it's probably safe to skip it. But if the dear reader has not seen D's Bloodlust, it's time to get your undead on.
