Synopsis

When the soothing comfort of sunlight starts to fade, beings of seraphic beauty become the undisputed masters of the night, instilling fear in every living creature. Water turns into ice before these blood-sucking monsters, and their victims realize that this uncanny chill is the harbinger of their inevitable demise. Fortunately, the number of vampires is dwindling thanks to the dauntless bounty hunters who track down and slay the near-immortal predators.

One night, tragedy befalls the Elbourne family as their daughter, Charlotte, is abducted by Meier Link, a revered vampire lord protected by an army of monsters. To save their beloved Charlotte, her family recruits the Marcus Brothers, a group of vampire hunters known for their ruthlessness; and D, a sword-wielding dhampir—a half-vampire, half-human who has the strengths of both species and the weaknesses of neither.

The hunters rush to rescue Charlotte, but if her abductor decides to turn her into a vampire, they should eliminate her. Moreover, their mission must be completed before Meier reaches the impregnable vampire castle of Carmilla and takes Charlotte out of humanity's reach forever.

The aesthetics the story the characters, everything is a masterpiece as long as vampires, a gothic style and tragic storytelling are among your preferences. The first movie was really good but had it's weird bits, goofy disgusting or straight up annoying enemy fodder designs, a weird progression to the plot and the aged animation were very noticeable. Here everything is fixed and not just that but take to a completely new level. Cleaner designs, with much less needless techy sci-fi nonsense, enemies and all characters in general were really interesting and unique. Just an absolute masterpiece, the movie that would come out if what I ...

This one movie single handedly proves that if you want an amazingly well animated movie, you come to Madhouse. Granted even though it is an OVA the fact that it was released in 2000 and looks as well as it does with animation as smooth and realistic, is absolutely phenomenal and the animators deserve oh so much praise.

The score and ambience is a perfect example of dark vampire aesthetic, it is dark, bloody, gore, scary, romantic and sad at the same time and it is truly amazing and deserving of the title Vampiric and should be how most vampire movies must be made (eat your ...

Mixed Feelings
What would happen if Sergio Leone, in collaboration with Luis Bunuel, filmed in animation form a book by Stephen King, written by him in the mid-1980s (during the period of Stephen’s severe drug intoxication), where the main character would be Zorro, fighting vampires in the Wild West? 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, ...
