At the Next Station (Vampire Princess Miyu)

"At The Next Station" is an episode of Vampire Princess Miyu anime TV series. Number 2 of a series of 26 episodes.

Plot

A handsome young man lures women into his lair in an abandoned subway station where he freezes them into dainty mannequins, keeping them mummified alive. Miyu spots him as a Shinma and returns him to the Darkness. Miyu starts her friendship with the trio of schoolmates, specially with Chisato (who buys a keychain for her and Miyu to represent their friendship).

Recurring elements of the series introduced

* The trio of Miyu's schoolmates, which will become vital to the plot: the cute red-haired Chisato, the boyish Yukari and the bookworm Hisae.
* Miyu's weirdness, wearing a school uniform in every social occasion, dropping it for her kimono only during the Shinma fights.
* The charms which Chisato buys for her and Miyu as token of friendship, which will have great importance to the plot later.
* The ability of Miyu to sense the presence of a Shinma, even in human disguise.
* The contempt for humans shown by the Shinma-hunter trio and the detached point of view of Larva and Shiina regarding Miyu's involvement with the human world.
* The general knowledge by the Shinma that Larva used to be one of them, a theme which will be progressively revealed and expanded during the series.
