Vampire Hunter D

Summary: One of the best early horror animations
Review: Vampire hunter 'D' is the tale of a hunter called Doris who enlists the help of a possibly superhuman warrior. She wishes to protect the town from the onslaught of Count Magnus Lee and his army of demons and vampires. What makes vampire hunter'D' so notable is its use of characterisation which makes the whole anime that much more enjoyable. For example the Count is not just another mindless enemy but one who is reflective and intelligent. The animation has suffered in recent years as the title is now over ten years old. This does not matter, because the plot is well scripted and the pace and music fit the film perfectly. The dubbing is fair and the overall quality of the film is very high. This is thoroughly recommended if you enjoy horror, science fiction or action anime. Even so it should be enjoyed by all fans of anime. A word of warning though. The bloodshed reaches new hights of gore and extremity which is rarely matched even in today's anime world. If you enjoy this type of anime then check out Darkside Blues.

Summary: a cult classic is finialy on video
Review: i found it. i origanaly saw this dark anima vimpire movie a few years ago on the SI-FI CHANNEL. this is the movie that got me hooked on anima. it takes place in the future. vampires rule the night once again. only one man can stop the rule of the evil barron. D, the vampire hunter, who is a vampile( the child of a vampire and a mortal) comes to town, and uses all of his powers to fight the barron and his minnions. if you have a weak stomach, this movie is not for you. there is extreame violence and some minor nudity. in my opinion, this movie is the ultimate anima expernince.

Summary: Anime At Its Best!
Review: It has been a long time since I saw Vampire Hunter D. The last time I saw it was in the 80's. This is anime at its best. The art is wonderful and the whole entire movie takes place is a world that is between ancient Trannsylvania and the future. Vampire Hunter D is an amazing character as well. He is dark, enigmatic and mysterious. Doris, the woman whom D loves, is also a wonderful character. Any woman who can handle a flail like that deserves some respect! The movie involves D fighting to save Doris from a horrible fate which is to be wed to the Count Vampire of the area. D destroys demons, werewolves, mutants, and vampires in a desperate quest to save Doris. I highly recomend this movie for anyone who loves vampires or anime. The story, characters and animation is simply fantastic and is a tribute to japanamation of the 80's era.

Summary: Vampire Hunter D Re-release
Review: This movie was Jesus when it was released under Streamline pictures (bless their little out of business soul) So i was expecting no less than "de christos" for the rerelease version. They added a new cover which was about the only good thing of this movie, It just decided to blow wang this time for some reason. For all the queers out there who havent seen the original then this one will be alright but i still want you guys to know you are getting the blow wang version of a truly great japornimation.

Summary: This is a _beautiful_ anime.
Review: "Vampire Hunter D" is, perhaps, the best single-shot anime movie ever to make it across the Pacific. The characterization shines, the action sequences are brilliant, and the hand talks. 'Nuff said.

Summary: Overrated and confusing
Review: Bizarre, talky and overly confusing story of a vampire hunter ("D") living in the far future in a devastated world. The English dub doesn't make the story any more coherent than if it had been totally untranslated. An unsympathetic and ultimately uninteresting hero doesn't help. Lovely to look at, and with very classy animation, but a total loss as far as story or character is concerned. Anime can be dumb fun, but it doesn't deserve to be this empty-headed.
