Release date: December 21st 1985 (Japanese release). August 1992 (US release).
Story: In a post apocalyptic future, vampires and other supernatural creatures have awoken and are trying to claim the world. But a handful of humans have also survived and are doing their best to fight back and carry on with their lives. This is the story of a dhampir who is only known as D. He is a human/vampire hybrid who travels around on his cyborg horse, hunting and slaying monsters. One day, he is hired by a young woman named Doris Lang. Who has been bitten by a vampire noble named Count Lee. And wants D to slay him so she can be cured. Will D be able to slay the count? Watch the film and find out.
My thoughts: This was based on a series of novels by Hideyuki Kikuchi. And it is pretty good. D himself is a cool character yet rarely speaks. This anime movie is a cross between Fist of the North Star and Hellsing (D himself is the son of Dracula). This movie has a sequel named Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust (which I may cover in a later review). If you like anime or horror, then I would recommend giving this a watch.
My score: Four stars.
