Summary: The Original Classic
Review: Vampire Hunter D is not just your average anime movie in any form or fassion. It is a classic that no other anime movie can live up to accept it's wonderful sequal Bloodlust. It has a great combination of action, romance, blood, and unique characters. The story is about a young woman named Doris who is bitten by the Count Magnus Lee. She hires D to kill Magnus Lee and to protect her. The main character in this movie is by no means dull. D is a unique and well balanced character who struggles with the hardship of being a vampire ,and falling in love with Doris. Even with such a great main character the story fails to go into depth with the other except Doris.So this is how I rate Vampire Hunter D Sound:8/10- The voice actor for D is incredible. The other voice actors are struggling with the concept of sound. Visuals:9/10- D looks amazing while the other characters look a little dated. Sometimes the movie can get incredible dark and it is hard to see what is happening. Style:10/10- A great way to put it all together Story:7/10- Can sometimes be a little repetitive. Other than that it is a great story. Rating:14 and up- for violence and nudity. Extras:7/10- You will watch them once and only once. Movie/10/10- An amazing movie. The

Summary: One of the best around
Review: Vampires and their mutant friends rule the night and it is the job of various vampire hunters to try and stop them.
About the only Anime I will ever watch very good, while not the best, Bloodlust has that distinction, I have to remember that without the original there would be no Bloodlust so I have to have respect for Vampire Hunter D. So if you watched the movie and are a fan fine but now you have to get Bloodlust.

Summary: Put your tongue back in your mouth. It's manners.
Review: Vampire Hunter D is a very cool, old school cartoon. It reminded me very much of a vampire version of Voltron. Especially in terms of graphics, and voices, along w/the way the cartoon is presented. Obviously there is more violence then your average Voltron episode, a tad more nudity, but as a whole, still comparable, at least in my opinion.
I must say I was excited to see how D got him self out of the predicament with the three sister serpents. They reminded me of a cross of characters from Jason and the Argonauts, Thirteenth Warrior, and the brides in Bram Stokers Dracula. They were extremely interesting concepts.
In addition, most cartoon movies have strait line plots. Vampire D does not. The plot jumps all over the place as the movie develops the characters, their history, and their surroundings. Also, the movie is not easily predictable, and there is a slight twist at the end, though you may have a hunch.
I liked this movie a lot, and feel it belongs in your DVD collection. It is a classic, is well known, and laid out very nicely. Vampire Hunter D is strongly recommended. You can feel confident buying this movie before ever viewing.
Grade: A-

Summary: Odd anime has good moments...
Review: To be fair, "Vampire Hunter D" held my interest, but I wasn't necessarily wowed by it. It tells the story of D, a vampire hunter in a future far from now. D is hired by a young woman to kill a powerful vampire. What ensues is blood and guts, as D fights not only the demons of this lost world, but also the demons inside of him. The animation is very dark and not always at exotic as some anime is. The voice dubbing in this movie also leaves much to be desired. But there's enough violence to please fans of the genre, which I guess is good enough for most people.

Summary: Amazing! Just PERFECT!
Review: I am picky about the animes I watch, so I read these online reviews. However, when I bought this, I never knew how much I would enjoy it! It was fantastic!
It starts out slow, but it just builds up to a fast pace non-stop action thriller. The longer you watch, the more you love. Also, all the characters are rememberable, and 50 years from now, you will be able to pick up this title and say, this is so amazing! Also, the story is very deep.
Listen, if you love anime, then you will love this! If you have never watched anime before, this is a great way to get started. Even if you hate anime, the action can keep you hooked. This old anime is great for everyone...except small children! It is very violent and bloody

Summary: You know, it's funny...
Review: You know, it's funny when I read a negative review and hear something like "shamelessly following where all have gone before" or "D doesn't attempt to go any further than the clich?" or anything similar to that. What those people don't realize is that D is the clich?. All those so called great vampire characters today were built upon the knowledge of the old Original vampire characters. D is one of the best of those Originals. This anime is not much compared to what today can offer in terms of story depth and quality animation, but for something that is about 19 years old, this is pretty damn good. Vampire Hunter D is something that you can only label as a classic.
