Vampire Hunter D - Bloodlust

Based on a series of fantasy novels by Hideyuki Kikuchi, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust is a bloody anime adventure. Set in the distant future, the story focuses on D (voice by Andrew Philpot), th...( read more  read more... )e son of a vampire and a mortal who has dedicated his life to exterminating vampires. D is pursuing Charlotte (Wendee Lee), who has been carried off by vampire Meier Link (John Rafter Lee). The bounty-hunting Markus brothers and tough-talking Leila (Pamela Segall) are also on the trail. A long, violent chase brings them to the Castle of Carmila the Bloody Countess (Julia Fletcher), where the narrative founders in a series of confusing illusions that lead to an inconclusive ending. Bloodlust looks better in still images that evoke Yoshitaka Amano's intricate illustrations than it does in motion. The very limited drawn animation clashes visually with the more fluid computer-generated imagery--D's cape billows dramatically, but his expression rarely changes. Fans of such violent anime features as Sword for Truth and Ninja Resurrection will enjoy the no-holds-barred action sequences, but more squeamish viewers will be put off by the beheadings, impalements, disembowelments, etc. Vampire Hunter D, an earlier, more modest feature based on the same material, is a better adaptation. --Charles Solomon

    This one garners respect for its advanced animation techniques...

    The storyline features a larger cast than the first film but it doesn't take away from any aspects of the film...

    An adventure/action/drama ride done right. You really don't need to know anything about the novels to get into the film. Yoshiaki Kawajiri deserves way more credit as being a mere "cheap thrill" director. The guy knows how to create cinematic moments.

    One of my favorites. The art is fantastic, very clean and sleek, just like most people interpret vampires. I love the futuristic tech in a past world. Very good.

    Vampire Hunter D is a great gothic anime ride with predominant style throughout. "A bloody anime adventure" suits the film perfectly, and the final result feels like a combination of a black-and-white vampire film with the coolest characteristics of the videogame Castlevania: Sym...( read more)phony of the Night. Pretty much amazing macabre little flick.

    Seriously recommend if you like anime, if you don't it isn't really a good movie to start watching anime with.
