Product Description:
In the year 12090 ad the earth has fallen into the clutches of ruthless vampires and humans are enslaved by a corrupted feudal system prey to a mockery of freedom and justice. Only one being has dared to challenge the cruel authority of these vicious arrogant immortals the mysterious vampire hunter called d.Studio: Urban VisionRelease Date: 02/16/2001Run time: 80 minutesRating: Nr
Amazon.com:
D, a haunted half-human, half-vampire warrior, wanders the countrysideof a feudalistic future, hunting his own kind while battling his own evil nature. Like a rogue samurai, the silent, solitary hero wanders into a small hamlet terrorized by the all-powerful Count, a monstrousvampire lord, and his demonic minions from a castle that casts a long shadow over the countryside. The Count has claimed the human Doris (who wields a mean cutlass herself) as his bride. D becomes her protector and--when she's captured by the Count's shape-shifting minions--her savior. Designed in slashes and sharp, angular images and directed with abrupt explosions of lightning-fast action, Vampire Hunter D is violent and bloody in the mode of a samurai adventure. The sleek D is appropriately dark and quiet, cutting a mysterious figure, while the Count is a veritable demon of a vampire, a supernaturally powerful monster whose appetites know no bounds. The undercurrent of sexuality never spills over into the sadistic vein of so many "adults only" thrillers, but it is recommended for mature audiences.
The DVD features both English and Japanese language soundtracks with optional English subtitles. It also has a documentary featurette, deletedfootage, and an artwork gallery by Amano among its supplements. --Sean Axmaker

DVDs were what I expected but cases got beat up beyond use by the mail service.When I informed the seller of this, they immediately sent two replacement cases even though the original cracked cases weren't their fault.I couldn't be happier with the DVDs or the prompt e-mail response I received and the replacement cases that were sent.Truly top-notch service

VAMPIRE HUNTER D
I have been watching anime since I can remember or at least since I was able to get my hands on it many moons ago. This one in particular is one of my favorites of all time and regardless of what any one tells me this will forever be in my one of the best ever. I know that some will say that I like this film just because it is older and is widely considered a classic while others will say that I should not rate it so high because of dated animation or what have you. ...

For it's time it may have been a good anime but is definitely lacking by comparison to this decades anime. The story-line was fair but could have been written much more interesting. If you haven't seen the second one, "Blood Lust", much better!
