 "Vampire Hunter D"Vampire Hunter D has a darkside to it.This anime was the first horror movie as in Japanese animation.It doesn't have much of a story but it goes along with a horror type story and does a good job at that.The movie is nearly always put into the night time through out almost the whole thing and the music is very good.It is a very good movie to watch at night time.The movie reminds me a little bit like PS2's Devil May Cry.Which is a good thing.The music really goes along with the type of movie it is.Other than that if you like a kind of horror with intense wierd music and extreme violence and other crazy stuff then this is the movie for you. "Vampire Hunter D"an Awsome Anime. I still have to get Bloodlust. But if you like Fantasy, VAmpires, A little love, and the Strong Silent type that happen to have a pozesed, talking hand then this anime is for you... oh and don't diss the hand... it's actully really cool^^ "An amazing classic"Vampire Hunter D was the movie that first got me into anime. I saw it one night at about 1 in the morning on cable, and it changed me forever. It blends so many things wonderfully. It is set in the future where demons and vampires rule like lords in midevil times. D is the main character and is a half-vampire half human who roams the land to kill vampires for a price. Unwanted by humans and shunned by vampires he lives a cold and hard life alone. The majority of the movie takes place at night which gives it a dark under-tone. D is by far one of the coolest characters in all anime, with his unchanging facial expressions and strong silent attitude. Although his character isn't developed enough he is still very interesting. The animation is alright and the music is somewhat annoying, but you must remember it was made in 1985. It has some violence and a little bit of nudity, but over all it isn's too bad. The story line is great and follows a somewhat not so predictable plotline. The imagery is awesome, it is like the movie takes you to a different place and time. D also has a face in his hand that gives him advice and provides some humor in the film. Vampire Hunter D is a must see for any anime lover, and i definitly recomend you buy it. "If Blade were more like this..."Dunpeals, Dhampirs, Dhampyrs, and daywalkers, all essentially different terms for the same thing. A little known Romani legend tells the tale of the son of Dracula who was half human, and half vampire, vampirojenovic/lampirojenovic, son of the vampire, or Dhampir. Vampire hunter D takes that basic premise renames the Dhampir Dunpeal and goes from there. The movie itself is intriging, and dark, but the art work and animation could have been better, as it is nothing compared to the recent Vampire Hunter D sequel. Over all this movie is interesting, but nothing about it is scary, and D is a bit too distant to get emotionally attached to, although his hand more than makes up for D's lack of dialogue. This movie is one of the best animes ever created, and should be added to every DVD anime fan's collection. It is lacking in specila features though, aside from a rather uninformative making of featurett there is nothing substantial here. The Tranfer is slightly better than the VHS version, but again nothing substanial, the sound is a lot better though, but still not as good as it could have been, however this disk is worth the purchase for the movie alone.  "Vampire Hunter D"This movie was an excellent horror/anime! Japans anime movies are often an overlooked type of movies! But people who dont watch Anime dont know what they are missing! Anyways, this movie was excellent! But I thought the sequel was better! This movie has well drawn creatures, blood and gore, and action galore! I love this! Even though this movie is an anime, you forget that it is an anime! Check out the sequel as well! |
