Quotes:
Carmila: Dunpeal Hunter. Your mother was human but your father was a vampire and you hav betrayed his ancient blood. You side with humans against us. Our people are facing extinction and you are contributing to their demise. You stake and kill your own ancestors. You should be ashamed.

Maybe the best anime piece ever, 26 July 2004
10/10
Author: scobbah (scobbah@gmail.com) from Örebro, Sweden

As we saw that Vampire Hunter D was high ranked on IMDb, we decided to give it a shot. Loaded up with some expectations, who comes naturally when a piece is placed good at IMDb, we enjoyed the movie from the very early beginning to the very end. I was astonished! At first, the whole piece is animated in a way that I really find attractive. I mean, not the regular ninja-banzai-anime-style, but instead this beautiful way of animating this alternative reality put up on your tv. I really like ancient stuff like vampires and more goth related stuff when it comes to animes, and this one got it all. With a terrific story the piece develops and bounds the viewer into the magic world of Vampire Hunter D. I just simply love it because of the vibe it gives me! A sober 10 out of 10, no doubts about it.
