As good as the first movie...
28 June 2023
Well, if you enjoyed the 1985 Anime "Vampire Hunter D", then you most certainly will also enjoy the 2000 sequel "Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust". That much I can guarantee.

Writer Yoshiaki Kawajiri did a good job in carrying on the torch from 1985 with the script written for "Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust". And the plot was every bit as entertaining and enjoyable as the first movie. So thumbs up to the writer for that accomplishment. In fact, you get to delve more into the characters this time around, and that was definitely something much needed for the D character.

Visually then I will say that "Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust" got a massive upgrade since the 15 year old previous movie. The art is such an improvement in this 2000 Anime movie, and it does the a lot for the overall enjoyment of the movie. I really liked the changes they brought about here. And there was so much attention to detail in the different locations and scenes.

The animation in "Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust" was spot on, good, fast and effective. And that helped bring the action to life in a very fulfilling manner on the screen.

"Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust" is well-worth spending 103 minutes on watching.

My rating of director Yoshiaki Kawajiri's 2000 Anime movie "Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust" lands on a six out of ten stars.
