Best Vampire Anime Shows

Ah, vampires...

Those romantic albeit toothy bloodsucking creatures that make the girls swoon and the guys grab a wooden stake...

What it is exactly about vamps that keeps us coming back for more?

There was a time when vampires were sinister, evil creatures that made your skin crawl. But those days are gone. The vampires of today have much more self-control and are much more likely to have close relationships with human companions.

And as a vampire enthusiast and fan of HBO's True Blood myself, who wouldn't want to have a little one-on-one with some of these vamps? One look at the mysterious vampire Eric Northman and you can see my point.

This new breed of vampire has ignited a whole new cult following, one that has writers and producers created vampire heroes if you can believe it and what's more, the fans are biting (pun definitely intended).

So, because of this fangy frenzy and because Halloween is just around the corner, I thought it would be fun to round up some of the best vampire animes on the market. So here you go... see how many of your favorite vampire animes are on this list.
