i went to the video store and rented vampire hunter d: blood lust, only to find that it was the same movie i'd seen a thousand times, is my local blockbuster run by morons or is blood lust just a re-release of the original ? | ||||||||

5,458   | There are two VHD movies. One is much older and really shows (but the characters really look more Amano-Esque IMO) The other one is much newer, slicker animation. I hardly remember the first movie at all, but it's a completely different story, Bloodlust is a completely new movie. | ||||||||

343 | The first movie was based off of the book Vampire Hunter D #1 which was written in Japan in the fifties, and was translated into english this year. As far as I know, Bloodlust had nothing to do with the guy that wrote the book series. Personally, I found Bloodlust to be more entertaining, and flowed a lot better. The first movie kind of makes quite a bit of plot jumps, and the voices could be better, although it is worth checking out if you don't mind older movies.

2,295  | I agree, Bloodlust was much better than the first one. It was difficult to get past the terrible voice acting behind D. I watched them for my first time back to back. Now I want to watch Bloodlust. It's super good.

n/a | I own both, and I have to say both have good and bad points. Vampire Hunter D pros: Amano-esque looking, as was mentioned by Cain. Truer to the Manga/Comic storyline. Better plot than Bloodlust. VHD cons: Dated look. Animation kind of choppy. Magnus Lee looks like he's one year younger than God Bloodlust pros: Better animation Better voice acting, especially D. Nolt (guy with the cross tattooed on his face) longer film than VHD. Cons: Meier Link (Whose full name is Oscar Meier Link Sausages.) The silliness of the spaceship idea. The characters are not "Amano-esque." (I'm starting to like that phrase!) Anyway, keep in mind that these are just my opinions, and I love both movies.  | ||||||||

2,012 | I've only seen the first one, but I've heard about both. I thought the first one was pretty good. I didn't think it's the greatest thing ever, but I did find it entertaining. I've heard of the newer one, but I've never seen it. I may have to check it out one day though. | ||||||||
