I have been after this particular DVD version of this Anime classic because of the excellent audio commentary by Jonathan Clements who is very informative. The film it’s self is very entertaining, and is well paced. If you are a fan of horror/supernatural Anime this film has plenty to offer.

Originally from 1985, Vampire Hunter D was one of the very first pieces of manga animation that i had ever watched many years ago, the other from 'fist of the north star', and on the strength of this film i have been an avid follower of japanimation since. So, when I had the chance to buy it on eBay I was very pleased to win it in auction. The anime is set in a desolate future the story follows the exploits of 'D' a vampire hunter like no other, hired to protect a village girl Doris Lang (i know stupid name) from the evil intentions of Count Magnus Lee and a hoard of well concieved undead minions! The animation by todays standards looks dated, however the characters, settings, and concept more than make up for this in every aspect as well as some great one liners! By all means this is a landmark in animation and influenced many anime films for years to come. A dark epic i still love watching to this very day if your into animation this should be somewhere at the top of your list!! This film will obviously appeal to original fans of D but it also has alot more to offer to the newer fans, and i think that newer fans who have seen bloodlust should watch this immediately and see a side of the character that they would never have known was there. The actual Dvd that this is released on is ok, it has a nicely animated motion menu and some character bios (which are a bit crud)and some manga trailers and other stuff, so although its not the best release we could have asked for its definately worth the money and should definately be bought by animé and D fans alike. The only reason i didnt give this 5 stars is because only AKIRA and Macross are that good.Read full review
The long-awaited re-release of the original animated horror classic is finally here on DVD! In the year 12,090 A.D., the Earth has fallen into the clutches of ruthless Vampires. Humans are enslaved by a corrupted feudal system, prey to the whims of Vampiric aristocrats. Only one being has dared to challenge the cruel authority of these arrogant immortals -- the mysterious Vampire Hunter called "D". Cult classic by any standard, the sophisticated blend of horror and futuristic science fiction distinguishes Vampire Hunter D as a strikingly original gothic thriller. The darkly fantastic imagery and exotic characters help to fully realize the potency of the film, confirming its status as an exceptional accomplishment in animation.
A very good piece of Japanese manga/anime. If you are a fan of these things - you probably have heard about Vampire Hunter. The story is great and interesting. Worth seeing, the film itself is a classic one. Maybe not the best of its kind, but definately one of the best - in my opinion. Would please especially those who admire more traditional anime style - little computer work etc., more conservative style of animation. Not recommended for those who do not like Japanese animation :)
