This visually stunning spectacle oscillates between classic and modern vampire horror, post-apocalyptic sci-fi, action, western and romance. A touching, beautiful romance. The banal story has more layers than you'd guess after absorbing the basic info and manages to grab your heart and shake it hard at many points (the final scene is downright heavenly). A few dialogues about the tragic past and the unfortunate fate of the characters certainly don't hamper the speed with which D hurtles forward. Blades spark against each other, music blares, adrenaline soars. And at any moment you can turn your mind away from the action and just marvel. I hadn't ...

Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust is a combination of stunning animation, gripping storytelling, and a dark atmospheric world. The beautifully produced visuals bring the characters and settings to life, while the narrative weaves together a compelling tale of vampires, hunters, and the supernatural. This movie strikes a perfect balance between action and emotion. This anime also has a captivating plot and high-quality animation (for an anime released in 2000). The Character backgrounds, pacing, plot complexity, and underdeveloped side characters as potential drawbacks. But after all, It is a beautiful journey into the world of vampires and hunters that will leave you wanting more.

The result would be surreal trash, but decadent, aesthetic trash. It would be "Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust", or something very close to it. As much as I, to put it mildly, am not close to the stories of Kikuchi Hideyuki, how secondary the plot is, how vulgar the characters are, how intellectually and morally powerless the narrative is, ...
