Tsukuyomi Moon Phase (TV)
Japan
2004
Directed by Keitarō Arima
The story is about the relationship between freelance photographer Kouhei Morioka and Hazuki, a teenager who descends from a royal vampire lineage. The manga was adapted into a 25 episode TV anime series by the Shaft studio and aired late night on TV Tokyo from 4 October 2004 to 28 March 2005, followed by an additional 26th episode released only on DVD in 22 February 2006 which featured art from Type-moon.
The OVA storyline has very little to do with the original series outside of having some of the same characters, and has a completely different storyline which does not fit into anything which came before it. TOKYOPOP publishes an English language version of the manga while FUNimation is releasing English language version of the anime under the name Moon Phase.

Chiwa Saito as Hazuki Hiroshi Kamiya as Kouhei Morioka Mugihito as Ryuuhei Midou Takahiro Sakurai as Seiji Midou Vanilla Yamazaki as Haiji Takashi Matsuyama as Count Heinrich von Kinkell
