Sirius the Jaeger (Japanese: 天狼 Sirius the Jaeger, Hepburn: Shiriusu Shiriusu za Yēgā) is a Japanese original anime television series produced by P.A.Works. The series is directed by Masahiro Andō and premiered from July 12 to September 27, 2018.
Plot [edit]
In 1930, a group of Vampires leave China and flee to Japan. They are followed by a group of vampire hunters called "Jaegers" under the cover of being staff of the "V Shipping Company". Among them is a young "Sirius" man called Yuliy, a werewolf whose home village was destroyed by "Vampires". In the past, a member of the Sirius royal family was chosen by oracle to be the agent of God and permitted to possess a mysterious holy relic known as "The Ark of Sirius" which, as a gift from God, could exert power over all things. Because of its potential the Sirius people came under attack from groups seeking its power so it was sealed away in a secret location, never to be used again. Yuliy and the Jaegers engage in a deadly battle with the Vampires for possession of the relic.
