I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Thanks for the memories!
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Watch Ninja Scroll then watch this movie. It becomes very obvious the movie was made around recycling animation drawn for that movie. Even entire scenes are created just to use the recycled animation! I can't believe I'm the only one that noticed this! Tacky!
I'm not a fan of Japanese Anime films. The lower quality of the animation is an obstacle for me. Then add in the awkward English dubbing and CC. The language sounds unnatural and often doesn't match the visuals in the sense of emotion and characterization,. Here the voice actors are acting. Seriously. The animation is superior to almost every anime I've watched in the last two years easy. The quality of this is elevated and really enjoyable. The film is far futuristic, somewhat post-apocalyptic. Dunpeal's horse is a robotic ride now. I think the blend of supernatural undead and future cataclysm is excellently done. Besides vampires, zombies & werewolves, there are a number of other creatures. Some are very interesting and cool. And surprising. And they are well done in animation style and use in combat and pacing. The characters and scene sets are memorable, which is wonderful. Even the music is varied to cinematic effect, like it would be in any movie that has a soundtrack built to emphasis the edited film. Many anime are blunt and obvious. You realize what is going to happen and often wait for the slow sequencing and slow script to spell everything out that you just saw happen, in case you couldn't figure out what just happened. The characters in the anime often narrate what they feel, what they and you just saw, what they are thinking. Good films demonstrate those things through acting and directing style. This feels like a movie.This is not a movie for anime fans. This is for anyone who enjoys this genre. If you aren't a fan of low-cost, low frame rate anime, WATCH THIS BEFORE the original 1985 film.
I have watched a ton of movies and read/watched manga series and my review is based on a cumulative assessment of truly beautiful movies I have watched till date. Here is what I think about the movie:My goodness! To think this genre was originally written in 1970s, seems like all modern vampire movies, action and even manga series are rip off from this original legendary movie! What a concept of a movie! So, very amazing! This movie is evenly paced for most of the time even during the most tense and action packed situations. They just apply a concept and rest just follows through, like a time continuum. I love the eerie aura created within the movie. How a mysterious character wins your heart and continues doing so throughout the movie. Great story, great dialogues, action, animation, thrill, suspense and climax. Enjoyed watching every scene to the last! Loved it! I highly recommend it to everyone who is either bored of or new to Manga! Thrill of adrenaline rush and mental stimulation guaranteed!
Vampire Hunter D is a wild time, that still keeps a good story. A mixture of sci-fi, Gothic, and fantasy, the setting is beautiful and unique. Both our heroes and our villains display fascinating powers, so their combat is exhilarating, a breath of fresh air that doesn't run dry.Character isn't ignored, either. Most characters are likable and dodge clichés. The plot starts simply enough, but gradually unravels to go against expectations. And of course, the silent, elegant D is pretty cool.The animation is top notch, especially considering all that goes on. Everything is dark, colorful, and detailed. The character designs are a bit odd, but its doesn't dent the rating.There's not much else to say about Bloodlust. Its what action anime should aim to be. I personally find it hilarious that its directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri. After making the most prototypical bad anime in the 80s and 90s, he is the one to bring maturity to the Vampire Hunter D name. Unless you really have a beef against animation or action flicks, I'd highly recommend it to anybody.
