Vampire Hunter D has always been my favorite among anime, both the 1980s and 2000 movies. Along with Ninja Scrolls and Akira. I just love the fact that none of the adult characters look like small children. The women and men look like women and men. Those anime takes you to another time and place, yet provides a hint of Japanese mythology mixed in with European mythology. Meanwhile, lately many of the current anime seem to be about exploitation and sexualizing children, which are disgusting. 😑It would be nice to see more anime in the style that Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust was made in. That looks so nice and stylized.

Actually 🤓☝️, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust was based not on a manga but on a novel called "Demon Deathchase" by Kikuchi . The first Vampire Hunter D film was also based on a novel (of the same title) by Kikuchi. There are many other D novels, including a spin-off called "The Noble Greylancer". I recommend them as well as A Wind Named Amnesia (also by Hideyuki Kikuchi). Yes, there is a D manga, which was started in 2007, while Demon Deathchase was originally released in 1985 (2006 in English), & the film "Bloodlust" was released in 2000. Vampire Hunter D is one of those rare instances where the anime was based on a novel, not a manga 😉. Sorry, but that erroneous bit of trivia irked me. Otherwise, I enjoyed this vid 👍

[@ExyleCage]

This is false. The point of the series is to educate the reader on insects, which is a subject the creator is very passionate about. The vast majority of their manga are bug Manga that get very little exposure. To that end, the sexual scenes were added in so that people would actually read them. That's why there's so much more focus on the bugs than the actual sex scenes.

I'd recommend Kara no Kyoukai too. It delves into the darker side of Nasuverse (one who made the Fate series), and involves criminal/physiological fucked up things (rape, suicide, drugs, serial murders etc), packed into mystery/thriller settings. It's brutal too and unhinged on its gore., to top it off, it's very beautifully made as it is made by ufotable after all.

Now that is a truly Wicked anime to watch! Pun intended.😁

[@almostontimehero5415]

Read the manga based on the books, that continue the story. Sure some repeat the movies but you get a proper ending and feel of progression as the story with D moves through the centuries. Nice contrast that shows how detached from the world he is as an immortal.

Then we might get season 2 of the anime. Sadly, I think it's been abandoned. We're coming up on the 20 year anniversary of the first chapter. It's been over a decade since the anime premiered.

"when they cry" is a anime.about a group of kids playing a game. The story always resets. End of first season listen to conversation at end. He says ahh I lost again. Also each character has specific things. One girl the cleaver, he has the bat, another is trap master. It's kinda like the kids are playing a gruesome game of clue. Their characters have to kill the guys character.
