Summary: Simply The Best
Review: This is by far the best anime movie that I have ever seen. Incredible animation, excellent voice acting. The extras are killer to, including a preview of the new movie and making of feature. It has an incredible plot that will pull you right in. You can watch it in both english and Japanese. But above all, this is simply the best anime movie ever made. If you don't buy this movie, than you are so totally missing out on a lot. In other words, BUY THIS MOVIE NOW!!!!!!!!

Summary: A true Classic in the best definition of the word...........
Review: Ah, Vampire Hunter D. This incredible classic is truly wonderful. The drawings are kind of stiff, but still, it has that charm to it. A little too much blood in scenes, but it is a Vampire movie. I saw this movie when I was 11, having trouble sleeping, but I found that this one would keep me up all night. It was a birthday gift from one of my friends and I hadn't watched it yet. It had been about 3 days. Later, I did some research into it and found it inspired the classic game saga "CastleVania". It has a lot in common with the 1997 release "Symphony of the Night", as the main Character is the son of a Vampire and a mortal woman, except this title's main character is "D" whilst Symphony's is "Alucard" from "Abbot and Costello meet Frankenstein", although Symphony is hardly funny, like this fine cult classic. In fact, in the 2001 Anime North Fest, I'll be going as "D" and/or Alucard with a back-up costume of either Hibiki Kenzacki or Isamu Dyson, both from the "Macross" Series. Well, to wrap thios little review up, I part with these words: GET THIS VIDEO.

Summary: Fool's Gold
Review: Although brimming with ideas this movie is so badly dated it's not funny.... Although D's character is suitably dark and well-realized, the monsters in the castle make you laugh, not shudder. This is not gold. This is old.Don't waste time and money on this sub-par fare. Instead, wait for the new Vampire Hunter D flick directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri (Ninja Scroll). This version will not only prove to be an instant classic, as one can surmise from the awesome trailer, but will also readily condemn the original to the status of a cinematic has-been.

Summary: Masterpiece? Hardly...
Review: This is one that, like Fist of the North Star, most anime beginners like until they see more. The animation is quite stiff, and the plot and characters are just dull. I think it's certainly an interesting concept, having an anime based upon Dracula, but the final execution just was not very good. Basically, I've always felt it was lots of wasted potential - the underlying ideas of the movie are far better than anything actually in it.

Summary: AWESOME ANIME!
Review: The first Japaneese anime I ever saw, (about 10 years ago) and I still think it is the best one ever make! Great story, action, and animation! This movie alone turned me into a anime movie buff.

Summary: The D review
Review: This aname is absolutly amazing and for those who have seen the original 1984 production knows what I mean. The DVD version that I have, like any other DVD, had its ups and downs. The up's were the enabling of the original japanese script in english captions while the film played in the english doubed voices. The screen format is in full so that no black bars hang on the top or bottoms of the screen itself drawing your attention away from the movie. The only massive down that I saw while watching the aname was that I had to set the brite minue of my television to its max jest to see hardly any detail in some of the really dark sences (WHICH ARE ALMOST THROUGH THE INTIRE MOVIE). Other than this the DVD production of Vampire Hunter D was exilent and gest as good as the original. I can't wait till the new version of VHD, produced and released in 2000, makes its way to to tape or DVD for from the trailer form the old VHD movie the graphics are going to be definatly superior to those of the old verson.

Summary: The Best Anime for Halloween
Review: When looking at the subtitled version, I noticed something. Many of the voices of the monsters are very Halloweenish. Like the raspy voice of the orange haired floating women or the eerie laugh of the spider demon. The voice of D is the coolest. It's the same voice of the guy who did the voice of Kirin in the first Ranma movie. It's sad that he died though. The voice of Doris is very well done. In the dub, Doris sounds more like a determined woman with no understanding. In the subtitled version, she shows feminity and sympathy. You'll also notice that music is shorter. If you've seen the dub of it, you haven't seen Vampire Hunter D. Get this video and prepared to be amazed.

Summary: Glory to the gorey. A must-have DVD
Review: When I heard Urban Vision was releasing the original Vampire Hunter D in it's original dubbed version, it was pointless to buy it. But then I heard about the DVD version that came out. I ordered it quickly. The DVD contains a documentary on Vampire Hunter D, which was very fun to watch. A trailer of the new movie coming out (It looks terrific). A trailer of the video game (personally, the game is really terrible). There is also a moving picture gallery. The movie was in Dolby 5.1, but I was surprised to see that it wasnt even digitally remastered for the picture. Oh well. It still didnt ruin the movie for me. There are about 15 chapter stops, which for a movie, is pretty short, which means that a lot of stuff can happen in scene. Anyway, if you havent seen the movie (I didnt see it till I bought the DVD) you have to see it on DVD. And dont be afraid to try out the original Japanese language. It's actually better than the English.

Summary: VHD puts the D in god!
Review: VHD instantly became my all-time favourite anime. D, an enigmatic, nomadic vampire hunter, is employed by a (rather kawaii) villager named Doris to eradicate the local vampire, Count Magnus Lei, and his minions, but when the Count abducts Doris, things get ugly! D is without a doubt one of my all-time favourite fictional characters. I want a sword like his! All that, and I like the way the symbiote inhabiting D's left hand makes fun of him. The only disappointment was that the origin of said symbiote was never explained. Oh well. If you pick up one anime in your life, make this it!!

Summary: Vampire Hunter D
Review: Vampire Hunter D is my favorite anime flick. The animation is as beautiful and disturbing as the story. It has the all the characteristics of the perfect anime. D is similar to Jubei from Ninja Scroll.
