Kizumonogatari
The Monogatari anime series features various supernatural characters and monsters, Kizumonogatari is a series of 3 films that specifically talks about vampires. The theme is also recurring in other animes of the series such as Tsukimonogatari.
Koyomi Araragi, a second-year high school student at Naoetsu High School, befriends Tsubasa Hanekawa, the best student in his school. Tsubasa mentions a rumor about a “blonde vampire” that has been seen recently in their town.
Koyomi, who is generally anti-social, enjoys Tsubasa’s practical personality. That night, Koyomi encounters this vampire: she is Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade, also known as “King of Apparitions.”
The blonde vampire with golden eyes calls for Koyomi to save her as she lies in a pool of her own blood, with all four limbs severed. Kiss-shot asks Koyomi to give her his blood to save her life.
In the next moment, he wakes up, Koyomi finds himself reborn as her vampire kin. As Koyomi struggles to accept his existence, Kiss-shot whispers: “Welcome to the world of darkness…”
Hellsing Ultimate
Alucard is a vampire who works for Hellsing – an organization responsible for hunting and destroying other vampires. In these dark times, anyone bitten by a vampire turns into a ghoul – except for Seras Victoria, the newly created and appointed apprentice of Alucard.
Now, Seras must serve her master, Alucard, and work for Integra Wingates Hellsing. Nefarious vampire activities are being reported throughout England, and everything traces back to an organization called “Millennium.”
The Hellsing organization, under the command of Sir Integra Wingates Hellsing, will be able to prevent a large-scale war? Or will the world become a battlefield of destruction? The anime features several seasons, as well as plenty of action and gore.
Owari no Seraph
With the emergence of a mysterious virus that kills everyone over the age of 13, humanity becomes enslaved by previously hidden power-hungry vampires who emerge to subjugate society with the promise of protecting the survivors, in exchange for donations of their blood.
Among these survivors are Yuuichirou and Mikaela Hyakuya, two boys who are captured in an orphanage, along with other children they consider family. Discontent with being treated as cattle under the cruel reign of vampires, Mikaela devises a rebellious escape plan that is doomed to fail.
The only survivor to come out on the other side is Yuuichirou, who is found by the Moon Demon Company, a military unit dedicated to exterminating vampires in Japan. Many years later, now a member of the Japanese Imperial Demon Army, Yuuichirou is determined to take revenge on the creatures that massacred his family, but at what cost?
Owari no Seraph is a supernatural post-apocalyptic shounen anime that follows a young man’s quest for revenge while fighting for friendship and loyalty against seemingly impossible odds.
Kekkai Sensen
After a rift between Earth and the underworld opens over New York, humans and creatures from other dimensions become trapped in an impenetrable bubble surrounding the city.
Forced to coexist in a new city known as Salem’s Lot, the unstable peace between humanity and the creatures from the other world is protected by an underground group of superhumans known as Libra.
When a case of mistaken identity puts the not-so-ordinary delivery man Leonardo Watch face to face with this group, he joins them in hopes of helping to prevent the world’s destruction by a group of monsters and lunatics led by a powerful being known as the king of despair.
Strike the Blood
The legends of the city of Itogami, where humans and demons coexist, speak of the Fourth Progenitor, a legendary vampire said to have unimaginable power.
Then Kojou Akatsuki, a former normal human high school student, finds himself a bit confused when he becomes the Fourth Progenitor and develops a (harem) sequence of young ladies. The anime features various supernatural creatures and has more than 3 seasons.
Shiki
Surrounded by trees used to make grave markers, Sotoba is a village believed to be surrounded by death – a fact that soon becomes literally the case. One summer, a series of mysterious and premature fatalities begins to plague the small rural town.
With a mortality rate above normal for the time of year and each cause of death unknown, Toshio, the local doctor, and Seishin, the vice chief monk of the temple, suspect and take it upon themselves to investigate.
However, as the deaths begin to accumulate, more people start to wonder exactly what is behind this sudden epidemic; could it have something to do with the bizarre Kirishiki family that recently moved to the village?
Vampire Knight
Vampire Knight is a shōjo manga series written by Matsuri Hino. The series premiered in the January 2005 issue of LaLa magazine and officially ended. Cross Academy is a boarding school divided into two classes, day and night.
And if you guessed that the Night Class is actually a group of bloodsuckers, you are correct! As this is the first real attempt to coexist vampires and humans, it will not be easy to maintain peace at the academy.
