Finally, a sequel which outdoes the original! For those who have seen the original "Vampire Hunter D" anime, "Bloodlust" will be a treat. It's very much in the same vein but is noticeably much darker and more gothic-feeling (and, of course, having over 15 years worth of improvements in animation is nice too.) Unlike a lot of anime, this one also sports a plot which actually makes sense. Voice acting was above par for most animes but there's still that occasional character that makes you wonder where the hell they get some of these actors from (most were fine though.) The only really major disappointment I had was the lack of an original Japanese language track on the DVD and the unavailability of a Japanese language\English subtitled VHS. Regardless, its gorgeous animation and its easy-to-follow storyline will clearly make this one an anime classic within the next few years. A must for any anime lover!

I've just saw this movie, and i loved it! To be honest i have not seen the 1985 movie , but it does not seems to matter much, as the story is easy to follow. The animation is beautiful, and the action sequences are great. Overall a great , fun fantasy movie.

While this movie was excellent-especially the end-I was rather disappointed that the same person didn't do D's voice as the original. Although I really enjoyed learning more about D. I would recommend this movie to anyone who is a fan of either romance or vampires-or both.

If - only - that - stupid - talking - hand - could - have - talked - less! You could tell the actor who played Left Hand, Michael McShane, thought he was being really funny. You could feel the enthusiasm in his obnoxious voice as he talked and talked through almost every scene in the movie, even key action scenes where I found his rambling to be most annoying. One scene that made me literally yell "shut up!" at the TV was when D was jumping his horse over a crowd of flying stingray creatures. The music was beautiful, and the scene was visually stunning, but that stupid hand... "Woah! Better watch out there, D! We're kind of close! To close for comfort! Blah blah blah ! I'm an annoying hand! Look at me! I can talk! Blah blah! I hope I'm not ruining this scene for you! I'm just trying to be funny! Blah blah!". I wish an edit could be made of this film that takes out that stupid, obnoxious, talking hand. Without him, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust could be worthy of an 8 rating.

If, like me, you are easily annoyed by anime, don't miss this opportunity to see a good one. Sure, anime is about the art, but as a western moviegoer, i need things like plot and character to hold my attention for 2 hours. The plot was fun, and even contained a twist. The scenery and the world created was epic and beautiful (as expected). But what surprised me most was when, for a moment, the characters pushed a bit beyond their typical kung-fu/anime stereotypes. Bloodlust is definitely a superior film, and worth watching.

D is one tough Vampire Hunter. So is the movie. Vampire Hunter D, definitely has the action and gore to satisfy action fans, but the plot and character development somehow falls flat. It's definitely a solid movie, and probably a must see, if you're a fan of Vampire films, but for everyone else, it probably does not live up the hype except for the visual galore. The story is kind of predictable, and sort of lacks originality, but on the other hand it has the strength and focus in it's action sequences to even it out. In the end, it's a decent flick. Well Worth watching if you like vampires, but for everyone else, you might want to consider if this is the action anime for you. 6/10
