 "Awesome"I've always been a big fan of anime, and its somehow the allure of "vampire'y" themes that make such titles interesting. Many fail to live up to the hype, such as the original Vampire Hunter D in my opinion, but this one is just awesome. There's something about D's taciturn nature, and how Meier Link is evil, or is he? Nothing profound in plot, but the action is fast-moving, and if you think hard enough, the usual philosophical themes in almost any anime is there. Excellent anime for the general public, if you don't mind the gore.  "Pretty Damn Good"Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust was the second anime dvd that I bought and I cannot say enough good things about it. This "sequel" does not have any connections to the 1985 original. I liked Bloodlust better than the original though, because, I think that the characters were more fleshed out and the story began quicker. Not to mention that the film was also techinically cleaner and drawb better. "One of the best Anime's I've seen yet!"I've recently started watching anime and yes I have all the essential anime's from Ghost in the Shell, Akira, Ninja Scroll, Jin-Roh et cetera but Bloodlust is my fav out of those. I'm not a huge vampire freak either. I'm was takin by surprise by how well this flick was done. I could go on to explain this movie but bottom line - just buy it. you will not be sorry. Great addition to any collection.  "beautiful indeed, but little more than that"Aesthetically amazing. Very beautiful gothic-style art. Fairly good dubbing. The storyline however, is not extremely boring, but definitely not interesting. In truth, I believe everyone who thinks this movie was more than decent would not have, had the movie been animated as averagely as the storyline itself. Eye candy truelly often blinds persons from recognition of true perfection. VHD 1 = superior "the simple facts of vampire hunter d-bloodlust"vampire hunter d-bloodlust is a wonderful movie.it's got violence, true love, adventure, and an awesome mysterious main character.this movie will totally rock your world.it's different than most anime; there's no cutsie characters, and it's definitely not a comedy (that's for sure!).i would actually have given this movie 4 1/2 stars but it wouldn't let me!the only reason i wouldn't have given it five stars is because i wish that we could've gotten to know the main character a bit better (not that it's not great having him be a handsome mystery!).it was also a bit harsh on my sensitive sensibilities toward the end.so if you're as sensitive as i am BEWARE! i would definitely give this animation a ten.it's different but wonderfully dark. i do hope you get this!i know you'll enjoy it! |
