Depends on how you view craft.
If you ever even throw around the words "style over substance" you aren't equipped to like it.
Pretty much. The plot isn't anything special but the style elevates it to a very high level.
The plot is also okay. Though, it almost the same as ninja scroll (villains and helpers)
the most kino chinese cartoon ever made
>catched
Yes, that's what he sayed. What's the problem?
'Caught' would be correct I think, but English isn't my first language either
Catched isn't a word.
I don't understand.
Google Translate doesn't helped me good.
I'm still trying to learn the English.
Catch / caught
THE GORGEOUS YOUTH ROOTED THE TOWNSFOLK WITH HIS BEAUTIFUL COUNTENANCE
catched
I wanna give Leila my Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust if you catch my drift
D saw and touched her breasts when he bandaged her wound
Reminder that in the books, her brothers raped her on a regular basis, even the cripple.
hi mike
Kino of the higher order.
I already forgot about this and I watched it like a few months ago
kino beyond belief
It looks fricking fantastic. I assume anime doesn't all look like that because it's expensive or something, but then that Studio Gibli dogshit looks identical to an episode of Naruto.
Some of the most gorgeous animation put to screen. Wish they made more, or even a full series. I need more gothic postapocalyptic vampire hunting kino in my life.
theres like 20 books in the series translated, and no megafricking richgays funding it. the kimetsu no yaiba movie took $15 mil to make and was better than any animated western movie in years.
based. we had a local theater that had half the reels for akira, and a bunch of midnight movies every or every other weekend. when Mr. Doellten got a copy of D in 98 he played it for us with the projector he had on the big screen in the main room. I have no idea where he got it on film from, but holy shit that movie had incredible sound.
he had played wizard of oz with dark side of the moon playing.
It's the manga good? I know it's made upon the novels, but is the drawing as good as in the movie?
I read the manga, the art is ok but don't expect something groundbreaking. It's a recollection of some of the books, not all of them. And like Bloodlust it takes some liberties and changes some stuff here and there, is not 100% faithfull to the books, but at least the manga from Demon Deathchase (book Bloodlust is based on) is more faithful to the book than the OVA was.
How can Nips do a Gothic aesthetic way better than the West
Gothic and edgelord gothic are two very different things
Since you enjoyed it, watch Ninja Scroll next. It's the same director, but I like it more.
Also the Highlander one
I think it was around that time that anime died (early 2000s), now everything is moe shit with shit animation or CGI animation that is also shit
>now everything is moe shit with shit animation or CGI
/tv/'s anime point of reference is so old that they never mention isekai slop or anything semi-modern.
Nobody is watching Lucky Star any more gramps, it's over.
Cyber City Oedo is so fricking bad. It kills me how fricking bad and boring the story is compared to how fricking cool it looks.
>Prisoners with bomb collars have to fight a haunted computer, space vampire and mecha
Nothing boring about it.
I count isekai as moe shit because they all have the same moe shit art style. Not only they all have the same plot, its like they all are drawn by the same artist too
>I count isekai as moe shit because they all have the same moe shit art style
Nonsensical comment.
one of the first animes i ever saw in a theatre and it rocked my shit
hate these low effort zoomer posts
I've always kind of hated D as a character. I like the world the movie depicts, though. It's worth it for that alone.
vampiregirl with bigbreasts
Technically she's a Dhampir, or at least she was one in the book
i figured this gang was just a bunch of random reject humans with evil anime antagonist superpowers from Barbaroi or otherwise a town filled with crazy non-vampire humanoid monster creatures
vampires are the very small group of elites which mostly left the planet, these are just thugs, there are little to no actual vampires that aren't direct thralls of incredibly powerful vampire nobility in this world or in either movie. I suppose the town of zombies in bloodlust is what it looks like when a relatively low-tier vampire enthralls them like meier link, rather than the very convincing doppleganger thralls that carmilla (a very, very high tier nobility vampire) makes of the hunters in her castle
>I suppose the town of zombies in bloodlust is what it looks like when a relatively low-tier vampire enthralls them like meier link,
Link did not murder town people though, Camilla did
I like the first one better, personally.
What are the books this is based on like?
You want a synopsys? is kinda of gothic western futurism, the books take place like 10k-20k years in our future. At some point in our "present" Nobles (aka vampires) got out of their hiding and took direct control of humanity, while it speed up technology and launched humanity to conquer space it also turn humans into slaves. Then humans, led by Nobles, entered in direct contact with a mercury looking shapeshifting alien race and a war broke up witch sent us back to pretty much medieval times and killed most of Nobles (alien race also pretty much got extint too). So the world you read in the books is humans slowly getting their shit together and slowly recovering to how they were before
Nobles still exist but they're so few and some so hurt from the previous battle than they don't risk to antagonize humans much but for those that do D and other vampire (monster) hunters are there if you want to hire them
So what you find in the books is pretty much deserts, nuclear wastelands, backwater towns, little to no government or authorities, and people subsisting by farms, cattle. Sometimes you find ancient super tech bunkers, or long forgotten automatons, crashed spaceships, etc full of monsters from a bygone era
This sounds based
by western I mean cowboy, gunslinging, sheriff vs bandits, poncho wearing, deserts and cactii western btw
Read Book of life the New Sun anon. This is exactly what you want but better. Watching Vampire Hunter D is the best way to experience it. Read some post apocalyptic sci fi kino.
That sounds like it was written for me. I will have to get around to checking them out.
I love the premise but its full of holes. D and his dad role in the war is the biggest of them all and it spoils the whole premise
>holes
well of course, is pretty much barebones how D came to be same as a lot of The Sacred Ancestor (it's Dracula), and is intentionally kept secret and info is delivered by dropper as you read the books. Frick even to this day after 20 years what do we know about his mother? the name and that's it, but her mother's presence in his personality and guilt is always there
The novels seem like torture. Bloodlust entirely relies on its visuals to get by. D as a character blows.
D has no character, he's Elric up to the nth degree. I feel he serves more as a vehicle for the setting (which I like a lot) than as an actual character. But it could also be those were my first books in the genre and now in my adulthood don't have time to keep reading and enriching my taste with actual good stuff people mention
I also didn't read all D's books, I read like 3-4 I think
Anime peaked with this film. The only flaw is that there's no japanese dub.
The english voices were pretty good tho
they were good by anime dub standards, but still a far cry from regular movie standards.
well it wasn't on the version I had. Gives me another excuse to rewatch this movie.
>there's no japanese dub.
yes there is
Ultra kino
Last kino of its genre, you'll never see a movie with that quality drawing again.
>What did I think of it?
You liked it.
This was the first Anime movie I ever watched.
I thought it was amazing. I would have preferred it if the heroes were given a bit more time to show off their fighting skills - some of them were killed off too quickly.
>the heros
Your first mistake
They're also absolute scum in the books, movie turned them into slighly likeable characters but still are just there as a plot device to present D as this lone and foreign character from the humans' point of view
It kino I watch for she
What other kinos have this art style? Is it the same director? I know of D1 and 2, Highlander and Ninja Scroll.
Almost everything from that Kawajiri has similar character designs. Pic related is something he didn't make that looks similar.
Anime ruined Japanese cinema though
kino
Didnt even hear this in the movie
It plays during the credits in the Japanese version.
QUESTION 4 BOOK READERS:
Is D this guys son? the first vampire? thats why he's so overpowered?
The Sacred Ancestor is Dracula
D's mom is Mina the Fair aka Mina Harker
As why he's so overpowered? we don't exactly know how D came to be, was he a test tube kid? was he actually conceived like normal humans? we only know he's an experiment and there were a few more like him (though weaker) from Dracula to create a hybrid that could live in both worlds but unaffected by their weaknesses but these are also assumption because we don't exactly know . He's also 10k+ years old at the very least and with that age comes a lot of power. So D is so powerful because he's direct descendant of the Sacred Ancestor, he was experimented on by the Sacred Ancestor and also pretty old
Just so you know D is older than Mayerling by a lot
ahh i see. thanks for clearing that up for anon, i wish they would do more movies to flesh out the lore for people like me who haven't read the books but like the world its set in
