The original cult classic, Vampire Hunter D (1985), is up there with the likes of Ninja Scroll, Akira and Ghost in a Shell. Bloodlust (2000) is the new look 21st century Manga and is the main presentation for their next generation look.
The cult reputation of the original story, which featured sexual elements as well as horrific violence, has been sacrificed and toned down to produce a picture for a larger audience. Vampire Hunter D is still action packed, and heads do get parted, but it is not as visceral as the 80s bag of guts.
Essentially this is Manga's platform for its new style. Bloodlust looks almost as good as a completely CGI generated movie (such as the new Appleseed remake). While computers have been used to enhance the artwork, producing 3D special effects, it still essentially feels like Manga.
The story revolves around the alledged kidnapping of a woman by a vampire. D is hired to bring her back and meets up with a team of vampire hunters along the way. There is a thrilling bridge sequence followed by the castle of illusions assault on all your senses ending.
As long as you go into this knowing that its more mainstream than the cult classic then you will not be disappointed. It is one of the best looking Manga around and the artwork is near faultless. |
