Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust

[wotjesus]

I came across this, and although I was a little confused (having not watched its predecessor), it was thoroughly entertaining.

Anyone else enjoy this?

[Malvado]

I haven't watched the first movie or read any of the novels but I enjoyed it. mainly because of the art and animation. my uncle picked it up for me several years ago.

This thread makes me feel so old.

Animetion was awesome in this Anime some of the best I have seen, although the story line seemed a little lacking. I liked it so much I bought it, but I found my self getting tired of the "hand" he talked too much in this one. The voice was cool but he talked way too much. I hope they make more D movies or a series even kind of like ninja scroll but less gay

I think the novels may be a better place to start. I would pick them up but I have so many other books to finish that I don't want to throw anymore money away.

Wait, so there're novels and mangas for Vampire Hunter D? Can someone clarify? I'm intrigued...

[Libaax]

I dont think there are any manga. I think the original story is novels.

Yeah, it is a collection of novels with Amano doing cover art and all that jazz.

I've got both on DVD. I'm a Yoshi (Yoshitaka Amano)fanatic ^__^

Both good movies in their own respects.
Bloodlust 2 word review: Superb animation.

Original movie 1 word review: Better.(Plotwise, character development, etc, the animation is still good for 80's anime).

The first movie were great the best anime movie i have seen simply cause D was uber cool and the animation were and still is great looking.


the second one with the girl actually sucked except the good animation.

Actually, there is going to be a manga for the series and the first one is going to be released in the US in November of this year. I've already pre-ordered the first one. It looks like, however, the manga is going to cover the stories that have already been released in the novels.

I have both Bloodlust and the first movie. Bloodlust by far has the better animation and was based on the third novel "Demon Deathchase". There are quite a few things that the movie differs from the novel, but I like the movie all the same. If you like to read, the novels are all good too.
