Legend of DUO
Synopsis:
Humanity is on the brink of extinction due to a mysterious disease that kills without warning. Living amongst the humans are vampires; one of whom is Duo, a so-called traitor to his race. Having revealed a secret that would allow humans to save their lives, Duo inadvertently turned humans against the vampires, and thus was deemed an enemy of his own people. Zieg is a vampire with close ties to Duo and will stop at nothing to defeat him for his transgression, but is he strong enough to take revenge on the one who is closest to him?

Hellsing
In present day England, a war is being fought. The average citizen does not notice, but vampires are running rampant among the populace, and it's up to the Hellsing organization to contain the bloodsucker threat, using even their own weapons against them. Alucard, a vampire himself, is the best agent the organization has to offer, answering only to Integra Hellsing herself. No one knows much about this mysterious figure fighting against the occult, but things starts to change after he “recruits” a new agent to the establishment...

Kazuna is a young man with a fairly normal life. He attends high school, lives with his surrogate family, and models for his somber love-interest Yaegashi's paintings. But recently, he has suffered several crippling attacks at the sight of blood -- attacks which leave him incapacitated and out of control. Kazuna must now reunite with his sister who he has not seen in years, and discover the truth behind his family name and vampiric genes, before his bloodthirsty desires destroy himself, or others close to him.

add recHitsuji no Uta and Legend of DUO share a few common things between the two of them. First there is the heavy inclusion of vampirism in the story, which presents itself as a problem to the major characters in both. Second is the underdeveloped animation that is gorgeous and with a lot of potential, but unfortunately, suffers from too many stills and repeated scenes. There are also the very subtle hints of forbidden romance in both, though even less prominent in DUO than Hitsuji. They are also rather short watches and you can get through them quickly, though Hitsuji gives a much better feeling of finalization in its ending. If you liked one, it certainly wouldn't hurt to check out the other!

add recThese anime were drawn very well, and had nice music to accompany the plot. Both have very fast paced fighting scenes that were almost like watching a ballroom dance.
I really didn't notice that I had stayed up all night watching both of them. The storylines were riviting, and made you think deeply about many aspects on life.
