Anime Review: Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust

This is the second film of the Vampire Hunter D franchise and follows the main character D, a Dhampir (half human, half vampire), hunting his own kind for a high price. This film, I must say is really a refreshing visual feast, it possesses many different exciting and gripping parts with stunning animation. The storyline was good however most people who have seen this movie agree that the 1985 film (the first film) had a better storyline, but this one was pretty solid. Its use of animation style, music choice, and action choreography make for excellent scenes in an incredible piece of film. The character design is also amazing when compared to the 1985 version. D's character design severely improved, going from the 1985 blue outfit with brown hair, to the black outfit with black hair, which was more like how the graphic novel describes him. More information is also added in this film about subjects that were not covered in the first film, like the classification of D's left hand. This film in my opinion, gets, on a scale from 1 to 10,

an 8.9.

The Colossal Hit: Attack On Titan

You may or may not have heard of this anime, but if you haven't  this is definitely something worth looking into. The story describes a world inhabited by humans and giant man-eating humanoid creatures called titans. Humans were forced to barricade themselves into three giant walls to escape the titans' wrath. The anime has 25 episodes in its first season and has become the biggest anime of 2013-14. The series is right now only in Japanese, but an English dubbing of the first episode will premiere at Anime Boston in March 21-23. This anime is definitely worth watching and is epic from episode to episode. Be the next viewer of the growing anime phenomenon known as Attack On Titan.
