Summary: Go D!
Review: I have seen all of the Vampire Hunter D movies and anime as of date and I have to say that I enjoyed this one the most.It weaves a tale around our Hero D, a Vampire and his human lover, and a group of Vampire hunters. You learn more about D and his heritage along with some of the past kind acts that he has done. You also see an interesting glimpse into a Vampires life.. One who does everything in his power to keep his mortal lover just that.. Mortal.. Then there is the wonderfull combat scenes and the scene with.. ohhh.. I think I need to stop there so I do not give that away.. In the end though I only gave it a 4 rating because of the whole ending.. I think they should have waited and made another movie or three.. But, then again.. You watch and make your own decision.

Review: Beautiful artwork in motion. Great storyline. I don't know which one I like better the first one made in 1985, or this new one. I highly recommend this film.

Summary: Worth the watch...!
Review: I won't go into the storyline of this movie because that has already been sufficiently described. I wanted to comment on the animation and the plot...both of which, I thought, were excellent. I would have given the animation much more than five stars if I could, as it is some of the finest and most flowing I have seen in a very long time. As a piece of eye-candy, "Vampire Hunter D - Bloodlust" will not disappoint. I was enthralled right from the beginning. And straight through to the end, every attention has been paid to making the action as smooth as silk and the characters as beautiful as they get. The movie is enhanced by a truly spellbinding and, in some places, creepy soundtrack, making it an all-around captivating experience for the senses. Now, very little is perfect in this world, and this movie does have its faults. For example, the plot feels a little shallow in some places if you stop to think about it, and some characters are introduced much too quickly with little explanation to their background. But then again, it wouldn't be anime if they explained everything, would it? The character styling is also very, very typical of anime, but I personally found this to be an appealing quality...the character styles are embellished to an amazing degree that is not seen in other animes such as "Escaflowne" or even "Ghost in the Shell". Overall, this is an excellent movie, and a surprisingly long one as well. Don't think too hard about the plot...instead, sit back and let it wash over you. I would highly recommend seeing it at least once...a vast improvement over the old "Vampire Hunter D" and a worthy addition to any anime library. Not suitable for young viewers - definitely for mature audiences due to graphic depictions of violence.

Summary: Entertaining and Creative...
Review: I was half expecting a completely dark, victorian-type vampire fest when I rented this movie. The hero would be quiet and deadly, and the vampires would appear out of the darkness, with ensuing fight scenes and blood everywhere. But this movie was particularly surprising to me for it's variety of comic book type characters and its well done voice acting. There are certain dialogues and plot settings that give away the fact that Vampire Hunter D was a novel before it was a movie. But the creativeness of the characters and plot make the movie worthy of some praise. The characters were well animated and the plot did not end up an all out gore fest. And the sheer creativity that went into the characters and the world around them keep the movie interesting. I enjoy the fact that there is a mix of ancient gothic buildings and swords right along side rocket powered ships and automatic weapons. One minute the characters are passing through dark mountains, to ancient castles, then to what seems like a wild west saloon with sheriff included! But the movie somehow makes each transition glide smoothly to create a diverse world for the characters to travel through. This was a pleasant surprise and change from the typical anime, and is a must see for moviegoers of all types.

Summary: It is NOT DUBBED, but it IS excellent
Review: I just wanted to reiterate. This movie is NOT DUBBED. It has no Japanese audio track because English is the original and ONLY language this movie was released in. I also want to make it clear to everyone: this movie is NOT that bloody. Seriously, to the reviewer that wanted to throw up, have you ever watched a horror movie? This is quite tame in comparison. Don't be scared. Before ranking this movie lower than it desirves, please get all the facts straight. By the way, to the reviewer that didn't like the ending, there is more to this movie than vampire fight scenes. If you don't understand the "anit-climactic" ending, I don't think you really "get" the movie at all. There's a bit more thought involved than watching a DragonballZ episode... There is also a reason for Leila being there, and there is a reason D does what he does at the end. Do you think that last scene was just thrown in for filler? Absolutely not. This movie is beautifully drawn, excellently voiced, well thought out, and above all, incredibly deep once you think about what's really going on. Don't just rent this one, add it to your collection.

Summary: One of my favorite animes
Review: When I was younger I saw the first Vampire Hunter D on TV. I loved it, action, a great plot and awesome art. When I heard of Bloodlust, I just bought it off the shelf and watched it. I must say that I think that this movie is even better than the first one. The art is better and so is the atmosphere. In my opinion, Bloodlust has definitely surpasses the original. I was impressed. I definitely recommend the DVD, the extras are cool. Many other reviewers were disappointed that Bloodlust was dubbed. Actually, Bloodlust was only done in english as the making of feature explains. It was jointly created by Japanese and US studios. The Japanese responsible for the art and story, while the US studio was responsible for the music and dialog. Bloodlust is only done in english! I whole heartedly recommend this to older anime fans. It's a great movie.

Summary: What's hot, not, and strange about this movie?
Review: What's hot:
-It's a bloody mess
-It has some serious ... What's not:
-Some of the characters are just plain stupid(yes, you Leila)
-A couple of ironic twists What's strange:
-Why don't they put some ... in this instead of extreme emotional love. What's the final word:
This is among the bloodiest movies on Earth. Once you watch it, it may make you throw up.

Summary: Best Vampire Anime...EVER!!!!
Review: I've been watching anime ever since I was a teenager and since a lot of is filled with a lot of explicit smut and tends to run on a thin, confusing plot, I must say I am so relieved to finally find a vampire anime that is this good! It's action packed, heavily violent at times, but it's completely "safe" to watch in front of your parents and won't make you feel like a pervert afterward. Anyway...onto the review... The story begins with D (The Hunter) heading out to meet the remaining members of the Elbourne family (sister Charlotte has been abducted by a notoriously wicked vampire who later attacks the search party sent to rescue her). Saddened by their loss, the family pays D $20 million to bring her back alive -- or see to it that her death is without suffering if she is changed into one of the Creatures of the Night. The reward money pits D against the Markus brothers, a vampire hunting clan who brandishes snide remarks along with the stunning weapons they carry. My personal favorite Markus is Borgoff -- he's buff, hip, and has the neatest set of wrist crossbows I've ever laid eyes on (anime or not!) The creators of this film really worked hard to create a cast of characters that was similiar yet different from the original! The journeys of D and the Markus Brothers eventually lead them to the city of the Barbarois -- a place filled with freaks, demons, and other monstrosities. The Vampire Meier Link has chosen to hide both himself and his young mistress here. The fight sequences are excellent and D's parasite even has a "bite" to his personality (thanks to the voice talents of Mike McShane). I highly recommend this to fans of the original Vampire Hunter D, although I believe it's better than the first.

Summary: Highly Anticipated for a Reason
Review: First, I just want to make a comment on the issue of "there is no Japanese audio, only English" (if this hasn't been cleared up, yet). There isn't any Japanese audio because there never was any. It was originally done in English. The reason I only give it 4 out of 5 is because the faces in this movie are so expressionless. Sure, they do show facial emotions at time, but not nearly as much as they should. with that out of the way, I'll get to the good. The animation is great. Very high quality, and nice frame count. None of that 12 frames, stretched over 24/s stuff. The art quality is really nice, too. It stays away from the cliche round head, big eyes (well, except for the women), little nose, cheap-o art direction that alot of anime has. It's a nice visual break. The story is great, because is manages to have alot happen in the 1.5 hours run time, without giving you the feeling of being rushed (but, as mentioned by others, the wolfman fight is non-existant). Anyways, that's the end of my review. Hope you found it helpful. Oh, I also don't like how they kept using the animation of D doing a vertical slash in the air, against a black background again and again.
