It's amazing that this is 22 years old and still has animation that is a thousand times better than what we get today. It is so gorgeous to look at, and the score is still awesome. I think Vampire Hunter D would make a great tv show. There are enough novels for the show runners to work with, I think.
@kinnymane85934 ай бұрын
It’s definitely not 1000x better than what we get today, when it come to pure visual quality of the animation. I definitely prefer the old animation style to the new styles, but it’s not objectively better. The new animation techniques have actually gotten so good that that I no longer like the animation. I want it to look like an anime, not real life. 80’s was the best era. 90’s was good and the first decade into the 2000’s had some bangers as well.

"He reufuses to let yer be on equal footing" do you realize the curse that eternal life is? Think about it. You live forever what is there to live FOR. Everyone dies. You get close to people just for them to die of old age or sickness or worse. You watch as everything you loved crumbles to dust around you, all the things that made your home home turns to dust akd loses its luster with time. The stones and banisters wither and blow away with the winds eventually. Paintings fade, books crumble to dust and you cant do anything but watch. Meyer is absolutely right to try and talk her out of it
@sweetmachaq16022 жыл бұрын
Yeah, Meyer from my interpetation would do anything for her and that includes protecting her from anything that may harm her which includes immortality. To not let her lose the beauty that death can be and to not let her lose a normal life. Plus I think also Meyer could be afraid that her personality would change if he turned her into a vampire. I even think Meyer would let her go back to her old life with her family if she had wished it. God love how complex the hole story is.

I read Demon Deathchase and can honestly say I understand why the movie detracted so much from the novel's plot. Everything after the scene at Barbarois is totally different in the novel and is way more depressing - almost to the point of being unenjoyable. Carmilla isn't in the book, events unfold differently, and the ending is not satisfying for any of the characters. The original Vampire Hunter D novel was better than its movie adaptation, but the converse is true in the case of Bloodlust vs. Demon Deathchase.

Also on the dub, is the bizarre thing of calling D a "dunpeal" which is a mistranslation of Dhampir - which is of course a term derived from European folklore, not Japanese, and should be somewhat familiar for anyone into vampire media, so surely not hard to get correct. Or so you'd think lol. There's a similar issue with calling Mayerling "Meier Link" too.

Legit confused by anybody not loving the English dub. To me, these are the definitive voices of the characters when I read the books. Only complaint would be John DiMaggio not being utilized well (or overutilized) and one of the other multi-character actors (Charlotte's brother, I wanna say). But the main cast? Knocked it out of the fuckin' park IMO. Andy Philpot has the stoic yet secretly compassionate voice of D. Reserved but very direct. And Michael McShane as Left Hand is inspired. It just sucks that when it comes to dubbing anime, scripts aside, everybody has to try and make it work with the movements of the mouth to some degree to make it believable and sometimes that means not having enough space between sentences to sound like the character is as contemplative as they clearly are.

Personally, while I like the film as a whole and find it wonderful to both watch and listen to, the only beef I have is about Charlotte and Meyer’s relationship. While I think he hypnotized her with some sort of magic, the fact that she is willing to be will Meyer just confuses me because, we’ll, there’s no backstory on how the two of them came to know each other. I mean, sure, Charlotte’s pretty and all, but it doesn’t make sense to me for a vampire to just go after a pretty lady that he’s never seen. Has he seen her before one evening and found her to be ‘the one I’ll take’? Did he use magic to survey the area during the day to search for a beautiful woman and land his vision on Charlotte when she was being kind to someone? Did he send out a human servant to search the crowd for potential candidates for Meyer to take? I mean, there is nothing that explains how and why Meyer specifically singled out Charlotte as his choice of bride. The only thing that I can think of for this is that there was something in the original novel that was overlooked when this production was being made, but otherwise, I believe she was hypnotized by him without him biting her. This is just me though.

Some good points, but the marxist/feminist reading was really forced and out of place: Japan has almost no wokery as of today and even much less so 20 years ago - the female characters actually act in a rather Japanese way. Also, so much for Charlotte being a symbol of patriarchal blah blah, when Leila in the novel had to become the sex toy of the Marcus brothers.
