Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust

Finally, a sequel which outdoes the original! For those who have seen the original "Vampire Hunter D" anime, "Bloodlust" will be a treat. It's very much in the same vein but is noticeably much darker and more gothic-feeling (and, of course, having over 15 years worth of improvements in animation is nice too.) Unlike a lot of anime, this one also sports a plot which actually makes sense. Voice acting was above par for most animes but there's still that occasional character that makes you wonder where the hell they get some of these actors from (most were fine though.) The only really major disappointment I had was the lack of an original Japanese language track on the DVD and the unavailability of a Japanese language\English subtitled VHS. Regardless, its gorgeous animation and its easy-to-follow storyline will clearly make this one an anime classic within the next few years. A must for any anime lover!

I've just saw this movie, and i loved it! To be honest i have not seen the 1985 movie , but it does not seems to matter much, as the story is easy to follow. The animation is beautiful, and the action sequences are great. Overall a great , fun fantasy movie.

While this movie was excellent-especially the end-I was rather disappointed that the same person didn't do D's voice as the original. Although I really enjoyed learning more about D. I would recommend this movie to anyone who is a fan of either romance or vampires-or both.
