An anime directed by Hiroyuki Kitakubo.
A vampire hunter is sent to a school on a military base to kill vampires that have been located there. The shool's nurse is dragged into the action when she witnesses a transformation.
The audio was a mix of Japanese and English with English subtitles in the Japanese parts. The video was really good.

When I watched the live action version of this, I was imagining the same plot in anime form, but that didn't happen. The anime is only 45 minutes versus the almost 2 hours of live action. Imagine what would have happened if American audiences watched a live action version that was true to the anime! The human sidekick in the original was a fat nurse in her 30s and the airplane chase took only a fraction of the time. There was also no bloodbath in the city and no kung fu flashback. I liked this and am giving it a green rating, but what should really happen is that I should go back and demote the live action to yellow for not being anywhere close to what it was remaking. They really should have used a different title!
