Abducting women in the night is common for his kind, so what's one more? But Charlotte's father has plenty of money, and there's no price he won't pay to get his daughter back. That's why he hires D. D is a Dunpeal, a breed rarer than that of the vampires--after all, he's half of one. When it comes to hunting those with fangs like his own, he's the best in the business. But that doesn't mean he's the only game in town. The Markus Brothers are on the vampire's trail as well, and they're not about to lose. It's a race, not only between the rival Hunters, but for the vampire and his bride-to-be. But it might be more than just a job to D. Is Charlotte really a captive? Or will another Dunpeal be born to this world? Review: This was SO much better than the first movie. - I never read or heard of the original material, so I came to this with no expectations other than my general trepidation of anime. The first Vampire Hunter D film was forgettable--a kindness. I had to rewatch it to remember it at all. It was AWFUL. The script is poor. The lines are delivered with the thud of lines that were never read aloud until they recorded them. The enemies are boring to laughable and of no real consequence. Like most anime, the characters constantly explain to you what you just watched happen as if it was a radio show. Painful and difficult to enjoy the material at all. BLOODLUST feels much more cinematic despite certain lapses into anime tropes. First, there is a soundtrack that changes with the action the way an orchestrated soundtrack should. It is built for the movie, not created separately. The English voices are mixed for me. I don't feel some of them match the characters on screen at all, but that can be very subjective. They are a giant improvement over the first. They are distinct and the emotion in the voices is in sync with the visuals, script and the emotion of the scene. The story is interesting as are the characters and the monsters. Some are just frickin cool. Several of the villains are entertaining to watch with interesting powers and visual tricks. There are multiple scenes with cool ideas and stylish graphics and quality animation. The shots of the film feel as if they storyboarded this for a live action film. The "camerawork" was done by a true director of film. Varied and creative. Shots designed to be emotive and evoke tension, interest, and effect. For me this is one of the better combinations of high quality animation and an anime subject. I think it moves along well, without those dud scenes that you want to fast forward through. By no means perfect but creative, unique, memorable, entertaining and with some emotional weight to the story. The ending is a bit heavy handed. I immediately watched this one again when it ended. There is another movie struggling to be made and there are a number of people from this production in that one, so I hope, if it ever gets made, it will follow the quality of this one, and not regress to the first. Now, I am not a fan of Anime, never have been, and probably never will be. Japanese animation was great back in the 80s. But they learned to cut quality for financial efficiency. Anime is filled with still frames with a sliding or flashing background, or just a tiny mouth flicking between two positions. Then you get panning of a still picture. The frankenstein walk where the transition of the leg is super quick followed by a paused stance, then super quick movement of the other leg. Long fixed shots are framed with minimal detail, or extreme wide shots with very little moving within them. These aren't artistic choices to tell a better story--these are frame reductions techniques to reduce how many frames get drawn by real animators. When you are accustomed to quality animations, these all look bad. Stylistically, there are the little whispering mouthed and big screaming mouthed characters which stay the same size and shape regardless if they are whispering or screaming, happy or sad. The giant bubble-eyed girls who all look like toy dolls mixed with the slot-eyed characters. The English voiceovers that don't match the visual expression or action. Characters screaming or shocked when the on-screen doesn't appear either. Couple that with the repetition of those styles for so many of the characters from series to series and I struggle to watch 98% of what the anime industry cranks out. This was such a welcome surprise. Review: Great movie, great Blu-ray that looks like how it was in theaters - The second Vampire Hunter D film, based loosely on the third novel, is a beautiful and epic chase. In it, the half-human half-vampire known as D is hired to rescue a girl taken by a vampire. The mission becomes more complicated as he faces competition from fellow hunters the Marcus siblings, the realization that this isn’t so much a kidnapping as an elopement, and some malevolent force manipulating the situation. The animation is beautiful, the music epic, and the performances solid (the film was a Japanese and American co-production so the English language version actually is the original version). A lot of complaints on here seem based on comparing it to the early dvd release by Urban Vision. They complain that this blu ray is somehow inferior because it’s not as sharp nor is it as brightly colored. And all I can say is: yeah, because this wasn’t artificially brightened or sharpened. I saw this film during its limited theatrical run. I was able to watch it on the big screen twice. And this blu ray sent me back to that experience. It’s literally the original film as I first saw it. And for my money, getting that experience at home with this blu ray is perfect. If your first experience was the original dvd release and you want to keep that image, skip this. But if you want to know how it felt to see this when it was projected on a movie theater screen, this blu ray is perfect. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0125NDD6M | | Actors | Andy Philpot, John Rafter Lee, Pamela Adlon, Wendee Lee | | Aspect Ratio | 1.78:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #30,972 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #616 in Anime (Movies & TV) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,890) | | Director | Yoshiaki Kawajiri | | Dubbed: | English | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | Relay time: 102min | | MPAA rating | R (Restricted) | | Media Format | Anamorphic, Animated, Blu-ray, NTSC, Widescreen | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 0.7 x 7.5 x 5.4 inches; 2.72 ounces | | Release date | September 8, 2015 | | Run time | 1 hour and 42 minutes | | Studio | Eastern Star | | Subtitles: | English | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** Andy Philpot, John Rafter Lee, Pamela Adlon, Wendee Lee, Yoshiaki Kawajiri - **Format:** Anamorphic, Animated, Blu-ray, NTSC, Widescreen - **Genre:** Anime & Manga - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 42 minutes ## Images ![Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71GamwD-5bL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was SO much better than the first movie. *by R***L on December 26, 2018* I never read or heard of the original material, so I came to this with no expectations other than my general trepidation of anime.
