The vampire is certainly a popular figure in anime, spawing films from Vampire Hunter D to series like Vampire Princess Miyu. Though the ideas and stories of NightWalker are not exactly original, the anime OAV (direct to video) series is rather cute and entertaining.
Eternal Darkness is the second DVD (containing episodes 7-12) of the NightWalker OAV series. For readers unfamiliar with the series itself, here are a few quick details:
Private eye Shiro’s secret is that he’s actually a vampire, but one who has taken on the task of defeating the creatures of darkness in a futile quest to redeem the fall that transformed him to a vampire–viewers may find this similar to television’s Forever Knight. Created by a powerful vampire bearing the biblically-suggestive name Kain, Shiro also bears a sprinkling of Anne Rice.
Shiro’s partner, paranormal cop Yayoi, offers her own blood to sustain him as the two must defeat the “night breeds” in a series of six related yet distinct episodes. His “kawai” schoolgirl secretary Riho–though not immediately in on the secret–also finds herself caught up in the struggles between good and evil.
In this second DVD, Shiro’s sidekick Riho has herself become a vampire. Though Shiro himself did the deed to save her “life” when vampire progenitor Kain had mortally wounded her, Riho now must learn to deal with eternal darkness. The stories do a rather good job of characterizing the difficulties Riho faces adjusting to her new life while remaining true to the spirit of the first six episodes as Shiro & company must battle the evil night breeds.
As before, what really drew me into the series was the characters, as at times the stories themselves are somewhat cliche. When in the final episode Riho apparently has turned to evil and Shiro must confront and likely kill her, you’ll sit on the edge of your seat trying to figure out how the characters will possibly recover and return to their (un)lives together.
The English voiceovers are passable, but most anime purists will prefer the Japanese with subtitles option. The special features aren’t incredibly detailed but do include scripts, an art gallery, character info, and production data.
I found that the cliches presented did not detract from the overall stories and came to rather enjoy the series as a whole. There may be grittier or more involved vampire anime available, but if you’re looking for something different in vampire anime, give NightWalker a try.
Way back when, my friend was telling me about an anime series. “It’s pretty cool!” she said, “The main character is a vampire, and he has this cute little fairy partner! It’s called Nightwalker!” She didn’t give me a very detailed plotline, but she had only seen one or two episodes. Anyway, I forgot about it for a week or so, until one day I saw it and decided to pick it up.

I was not disappointed. I ended up watching the second DVD first by accident, but oh well. I don’t know why people keep calling this anime series clichéd…it’s not. There are some parts that are, but that didn’t really detract from the series. There are a bunch of original things to enjoy as well though. For instance, I thought it was truly unique that the vampires could make weapons out of their own blood. Shido has a sword, and Cain has a whip. Well, actually they can both use either one, but they usually stick to their respective weapons. Also, I like the little detail that their eyes can change gold when they’re in full “vampire mode.” (No, that’s not what they actually call it.)
Another original aspect is the breed. The breed are both similar and different than vampires. A few differences are that the breed don’t come with bodies…they have to possess a human. They also feed off of human energy rather than blood. Shido has made it his quest to destroy the breed, even though vampires and the breed are usually comrades. Together with Yayoi, his blood donor and partner, Guni, an urban fairy, and Riho, his young secretary, he sets out to save humans from them.

The best part of the series though, in my opinion, is definitely Cain and his relationship with Shido. Cain is Shido’s sire, and he’s deeply in love with him, though Shido doesn’t return the feelings. His quest in life is to get Shido to return to him. In the second DVD all the characters get remodeled… Cain was rather ugly in the first DVD, but in the second one - wow! He’s simply gorgeous.
The opening is one of the coolest openings I’ve ever seen in any anime so far. The song they play is Gessekai, and it’s a beautiful song.
If you’re bored of the usual in vampire movies and anime, check this one out. It’s definitely refreshing, and the only bad part is that it was too short! It’ll leave you wanting more.
