Long a favorite with Japanimation aficionados, Vampire Hunter D is based on the third of Hideyuki Kikuchi's novels about a futuristic human-vampire hybrid warrior. In the year 12,090, vampires are the rulers of the night, something to which Vampire Hunter D is helping to put an end. After the daughter of a rich man is kidnapped by vampire Meier Link, Vampire Hunter D is hired for ten million dollars to find the girl and bring her back to safety.
Produced as an ambitious coproduction and intended primarily for Western cinemas (therefore English is the original version), the film is helmed by cult favorite Yoshiaki Kawajiri of Ninja Scroll fame. His style of highly detailed and dynamic animation fits perfectly this tale of hair-raising action and melancholy set in a highly original futuristic world, which mixes element of westerns, fantasy, horror and even postapocalyptic sci-fi.
