Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust (2000) and Hellsing Ultimate (2005) are both amazing vampire animes and I highly recommend either one. The animation style in both is incredible. But be aware that they each have earlier animes (Vampire Hunter D in 1985 and Hellsing in 2001) which aren’t as good. I’d watch Bloodlust and Ultimate first and only watch the originals if you want more.

Also, I really just wanted to see if there were any Vampire Knight or Trinity Blood fans out there that I could annoy with this question.

    Vampire Hunter D for sure. Hellsing often feels like it’s going outrageous stuff just for the sake of it

      I’ve never seen Shiki before, what’s it about? Why is it so good?

    Trolling to suggest Vampire Dormitory, but Interviews with Monster Girls brings a cute slice of life aspect to the genre.

    I have the Vampire Bund box set somewhere but bought it more out of commitment to the franchise than to actually figure out how to play a BD on a Linux PC.

    Seriously, there’s so much more to explore than just action. I can imagine a modern vampire character bring frustrated by the world seeing his culture as nothing but violence and a specific native cuisune and turning it into a comic rant or an entire arc of exploration and worldbuilding.
