      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Vampire Hunter D's gothic charms may be lost on those unfamiliar with the anime series that spawned it, but the crisp action and nightmarish style will satiate horror aficionados' bloodlust.

      Derek Elley Variety The movie has a visual poetry that's refreshing. May 29, 2008 Full Review Jay Boyar Orlando Sentinel Vampire Hunter D, you might say, is the best sci-fi vampire western to come along in ages. Not that many others come to mind. Dec 14, 2001 Full Review Tasha Robinson Orlando Weekly Bloodlust is both an animation landmark and a beautifully realized film. Dec 14, 2001 Full Review Jae-Ha Kim Jae-Ha Kim With his waist-length black hair, dark somber eyes and skintight outfit, the star of "Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust" looks more like a beautiful, moody rock star than the half man/half vampire bounty hunter he is. Never mind that he's a cartoon character. Rated: 2/4 Jul 28, 2023 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed One of my favorite characters is given justice with two great movies that just make him one of the most appealing characters in Anime... Apr 24, 2010 Full Review Gerry Shamray Your Movies (cleveland.com) Surprisingly entertaining and very clever. Rated: 4/5 Oct 24, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews

      Joe S One of the best anime ever! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/06/24 Full Review Grant D A very underrated anime. Peak goth/horror movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/11/23 Full Review Valerii Ege D This time, D talks a lot. Not cool like in the first. The second movie is not as good as the first, yet it has some fantastic scenes in it. No wonder I love Hellsing and Castlevania. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/24/23 Full Review Pete H Hands down one of the best anime movies that's been made! Such a great character. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Amir Z Anime for non-Anime fans. Great action/adventure/horror movie... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/30/22 Full Review levi s Animação da Madhouse do ''Antigo Testamento'', ótima. A história é razoavelmente boa, mas com pontas soltas, já que pegou um arco da light-novel ''no centro'' da história. Espero que D tenha uma chance um dia de ter seu anime, como Bastard!! teve a pouco. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
