(Where is my PMK Hijikata icon when I need it? Have a PMK Yamanami/Akesato one instead).
Yessss! I found my new anime binge! Hakuoki is a two season + OVA anime where the heroine shacks up with the Shinesengumi and becomes the OTP of Hijikata Toshizo, who's a vampire here.
!!!!!
!!!!!!!!
This is so insane
I mean, if you want to think of a Western equivalent, it's would be as if someone made a series about a young lady hanging out with the American Revolutionary Army and knocking boots with Madison, who liked to drink human blood. Pretty much as random as that sounds.
Plus, it looks way gorgeous:
If you prefer your MVs shippy:
It's as if someone smushed Peacemaker and Vampire Knight together!
Eeep! YESSSS!

But if the makers of this anime really put in an effort, I am sure they could have made him a pirate too!
(I have a feeling if the real Hijikata saw what the manga/anime makers have been turning him into recently, some people would have sustained pretty fatal sword injuries).

A gulity pleasure of mine are neoromance stories, with reverse harem settings. A new spring anime is Hiiro no Kakera - made from a PS2 game - which also looks promising.
