Vampire Hunter D - Bloodlust description
Based on a series of fantasy novels by Hideyuki Kikuchi, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust is a bloody anime adventure. Set in the distant future, the story focuses on D (voice by Andrew Philpot), the son of a vampire and a mortal who has dedicated his life to exterminating vampires. D is pursuing Charlotte (Wendee Lee), who has been carried off by vampire Meier Link (John Rafter Lee). The bounty-hunting Markus brothers and tough-talking Leila (Pamela Segall) are also on the trail. A long, violent chase brings them to the Castle of Carmila the Bloody Countess (Julia Fletcher), where the narrative founders in a series of confusing illusions that lead to an inconclusive ending. Bloodlust looks better in still images that evoke Yoshitaka Amano's intricate illustrations than it does in motion. The very limited drawn animation clashes visually with the more fluid computer-generated imagery--D's cape billows dramatically, but his expression rarely changes. Fans of such violent anime features as Sword for Truth and Ninja Resurrection will enjoy the no-holds-barred action sequences, but more squeamish viewers will be put off by the beheadings, impalements, disembowelments, etc. Vampire Hunter D, an earlier, more modest feature based on the same material, is a better adaptation. --Charles Solomon

Neo-Vampires

The original cult classic, Vampire Hunter D (1985), is up there with the likes of Ninja Scroll, Akira and Ghost in a Shell. Bloodlust (2000) is the new look 21st century Manga and is the main presentation for their next generation look.

The cult reputation of the original story, which featured sexual elements as well as horrific violence, has been sacrificed and toned down to produce a picture for a larger audience. Vampire Hunter D is still action packed, and heads do get parted, but it is not as visceral as the 80s bag of guts.

Essentially this is Manga's platform for its new style. Bloodlust looks almost as good as a completely CGI generated movie (such as the new Appleseed remake). While computers have been used to enhance the artwork, producing 3D special effects, it still essentially feels like Manga.

The story revolves around the alledged kidnapping of a woman by a vampire. D is hired to bring her back and meets up with a team of vampire hunters along the way. There is a thrilling bridge sequence followed by the castle of illusions assault on all your senses ending.

As long as you go into this knowing that its more mainstream than the cult classic then you will not be disappointed. It is one of the best looking Manga around and the artwork is near faultless.
