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.
