Anime creators have given vampire fans some of the most terrifying, strong, and even cute vampires of all time. While not every season introduces a new vamp, the supernatural being is common enough for there to be dozens upon dozens of options covering a pretty wide spectrum of genres. Female anime vampires are particularly popular, and they can be harmless or terrifying.
Some of these immortal creatures are truly remorseless and powerful anime villains, but not all of them serve villainous roles. Vampires also aren't confined to one particular anime genre, which allows fans of all sorts of genres to get their fix one way or another. The anime medium is home to a range of supernatural beings, and though there is no shortage of female anime vampires, some are arguably a lot more iconic than others.
Updated November 22, 2025, by Mark Sammut: The year is almost over, and 2025 will not necessarily be remembered for its vampires. The Call of the Night made its comeback, so one of the greatest female vampires got a chance to further cement her legacy. Li'l Miss Vampire Can't Suck Right is airing as part of the Fall 2025 season, and Luna is likable enough.
23 Evangeline A.K. McDowell (Negima!)

One of the more memorable characters in Negima!, Evangeline exemplifies one of the more controversial anime archetypes, although she is an example of how the "hundreds-year-old child" cliché can be handled relatively well. For the most part, vampires are easier to buy when they are children, just because it is established lore that they stop aging when they are converted.
16 Best Vampire Romance Anime
Love, blood, and tears, vampire romance anime can do it all. Let's take a look at this theme's best shows, including classics and modern series.
Usually, Evangeline keeps to herself, but whenever she does take center stage, she tends to be slightly villainous and wildly entertaining. Honestly, Negima! Would have been better off including Dark Evangel even more. Like the show as a whole, Evangeline is still a fun character, even after all these years.

Although not a staple of the genre, isekai occasionally throws out a vampire, and they are usually female. Farming Life In Another World incorporates quite a few fantasy and supernatural races as fairly major characters, but Rurushi Ru is arguably the closest thing to a female protagonist in the show.
Best Isekai Anime Of All Time, Ranked (2026 Edition)
From classics to modern standouts, these are the best isekai anime of all time—ranked by impact, staying power, and relevance in 2026.
She is the first person to stumble across Hiraku's homestead, and he welcomes her into the fold when he realizes she has nowhere to go and is in danger. This decision ends up transforming a humble farm into a haven for wayward monsters, and Rurushi even becomes Hiraku's wife. Due to the anime's fantasy setting and slice-of-life tone, Rurushi does not demonstrate all that many traditional vampiric traits, but she is charming.
21 Karin Maaka (Karin)
A Bubbly Girl With A Lot Of Blood
Karin: Chibi Vampire

- 2005 - 2006

Twisting the mythos on its head, Karin's eponymous girl is the direct opposite of the typical vampire, at least when it comes to blood. Rather than drinking blood to survive, Karin needs to get rid of excessive blood, a process that involves finding "victims" willing to drink it. Accomplishing that is not easy, and things become even more stressful when a new student arrives in her class.
Karin is primarily a rom-com, with the story following Karin and Kenta's gradual relationship as they grow closer. The vampire angle provides an interesting gimmick and early plot hook, but it is mostly pushed to the side after a while. Fortunately, Karin is incredibly charming and carries this show on her back, although Kenta is not a bad male lead either.

There are plenty of vampires who are not entirely evil. They can be capable of good deeds, or they can be outright heroines in their own right, but this is not the case with Mireille Manson of Trinity Blood, who is as dastardly as villains come.
War has broken out between vampires and humans, and Mireilla Manson is one of the former, originally posing as a nun in order to kidnap a very special child with telepathic abilities. But kidnapping is not her only crime, as members of the Fleur du Mal have been found guilty of many counts of murder, extortion, and kidnapping, showcasing the depraved depths of cruelty these specific vampires are willing to stoop to. Mireille is a character that anime fans will love to hate.

Though not the main star of The Ancient Magus' Bride, Redcurrant became a noticeable and memorable side character because of her story and relationship with Joel who, unlike this blood-drinking creature, was just a normal man with a love for writing. She always found herself drawn to passionate artists who weren't too old, and Joel was no exception.
Romance Anime With Non-Human Characters
These anime prove that love can blossom anywhere, even between different species.
Unfortunately, her beaus nearly all meet a bloody end because of Redcurrant's thirst. With Joel, however, her character undergoes a drastic change, and she spares his life, holding no desire to end it prematurely. This shift in her character is nothing short of heart-warming and instantly cements her as a character fans can't help but root for.

Despite the name, only one character in this anime is an undead of the fanged variety, and that is Carmilla. In Undead Murder Farce, three characters travel the world, undertaking cases revolving around the supernatural, which there are plenty of.
Though Carmilla only plays a minor role, her short stint was enough to cement her as a fantastic vampire character, thanks to the excellent visual design of her character and her bewitching personality. Anyone who spends enough time around her is sure to be enthralled.

This vampire anime starts seemingly normal, following the life of Saya Otonashi as she struggles with anemia and recalling memories. A brutal vampire attack one night changes all of this, awakening Saya to her vampiric powers. She uses these to put an end to the vampire's rampage and joins an organization so she can put these abilities to use by protecting others.

Utawarerumono features one of the strongest gods in anime as well as all kinds of supernatural creatures, including vampires. This thrilling anime masterfully blends political intrigue with mythical action and has well-crafted and likable characters like Kamyu.
Kamyu's story is especially interesting since the cute girl went through a serious change because of the Onkamiyamukai. After her transformation into a vampire, her thirst for blood emerged, and fans could meet a whole new side of one of their favorite characters. This iconic vampire princess struggles a lot with her new vampiric nature since it's so different from her naturally kind and caring personality.

Strike the Blood is a brilliant harem anime series with plenty of powerful characters, but none of them are as selfless as Avrora Florestina. This beautiful vampiress sacrificed her powers to Kojou Akatsuki, elevating him to the status of the Fourth Progenitor, while she descended into a seemingly endless sleep.
While Kojou's escapades drive Strike the Blood's narrative, it's Avrora's haunting legacy and the weight of her sacrifice that give meaning to it all. The deep bond she shares with Kojou is felt throughout the story and influences his every decision and battle. Although she might not be such an active part of the story, Avrora is its very heartbeat, since her story gives depth to a world that's filled with fantastical beings and intense fights.

Primarily a parody of magical girls, Is This A Zombie? Incorporates quite a few archetypes and themes, throwing all in the mix in the hope of creating something memorable and hilarious. For the most part, this decision was a success, as the anime is just all-around entertaining.
Showing up in search of Eucliwood, Seraphim makes a pretty great instant impression, largely thanks to her adversarial relationship with Ayumu. The two do not get along at first, although they gradually manage to find some common ground and work together. Sera does not emphasize her vampire origins all that much throughout the series, and she is arguably more of a classic ninja. That said, she does have her moments.
