 "Excellent choice"This was one of the first amimes I've ever seen and it was great. This movie got me into animes other than one of my other top favorite series of anime DBZ. This was one of the most well drawn and written movie I've seen. I highly recomend it for new comers. The characters, I think, are very well voiced. I haven't heard the original japanese version, but I will. All in all, this is a terrific movie. "Wow! A great anime."Wow what a great anime! there is a lot of action and violence early on. this is one of the first anime I have ever seen and it sets the bar high for all others. I've already ordered the sequel (Bloodlust) on ebay. i wouldn't recommend this movie to children due to extreme violence and a little nudity. There is a great story which is not too hard to follow. The plot twists and turns throught the movie and it definately keeps you on the edge of your seat. Buy it today!  "Violence with little else beyond that!"Now The movie definately was violent and for that I enjoyed it but otherwise I did not find anything origanal or likable about it. Not to mention so many things make zero sense. Why do they ride robotic horses when they could drive a car or something sense they obviously have the technology? Why do they use melee weapons save the appearance of 3 guns when houses are protected by laser defence grids? I addition they had to some how tie the storyline to count Dracuala which I found unoriginal. The western theme just did not work for me either. I guess if your really into violence and do not care for much else you would be a big fan of this movie. "An Epic Classic"One of the first, more serious animes I saw when I was younger, Vampire Hunter D has kept its appeal till today. Seeing it for the first time on cable TV I was drawed in to the world that blended myth, technology(both future and old), into a future epic about a Dunpeal named D, a quiet man, and his parasitic hand, who provides the banter, who hunt vampires. The show gave me a sense of power and honor and taught me how act as D acts. D's main goal is to help save Doris, who was bitten by Count Magnus Lee, and to do so he must kill the one who bit her. Many obstacles lay ahead as D gets attacked by the Count's many minions and the perdicament in which Doris and her brother Dan are in. As the story progresses further we find out the truth of who D really is by finding out who is father was and why he is so powerful. But to really understand why D does the things he does one would also have to see Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust to get a better picture. Though it isn't a true sequel it uses the same basic elements. A classic pure and simple. This anime taught me a few things as a child and gave me the sense of honor I have to day. As for the show itself it is a beautiful epic with a great plot although a bit cliched by today's standards. If it is any indication of how well this anime has retained it's appeal after nearly 15 years it should be a nice addition to your library. "Greatest Anime of all time!"This movie is amazing. A spectacular look at the future, the very distant future. Where a vampire aristocracy rules the night. And one hunter, born of a human and a vampire, fights to banish the ancient evils to wence they came. The animation is spectacular for its time, and the character depth is amazing. This is the anime you have to see! |
