So I saw the anime film, "Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust" (2000) and I kinda love it.

Wow. I was actually pleasantly surprised by this film. Honestly, when I was hearing a bit about it at first, I wasn´t expecting all that much from it. It seem like just another fine action film with gore and generic stuff to it but seeing it now, I would say it´s really well-done. The animation is great, the art style is awesome, it haves a interesting world, the English voice acting is great and the story was surprisingly kinda profound. It tells a tale about not always seeing a certain group as evil, about not letting our negatives thoughts/urges take control over us, hereditary roots, how immortality can affect someone's life, loneliness and empathy. Despite D being a very reserved character, the film actually shows details that reveal aspects to his character that makes him quite a profound character while still keeping him mysterious. Which is a pleasant surprise as I was not expecting such characterization as D seems like the generic kind of protagonist who is just completely mysterious and edgy. Nice subversion right there. It is also cleverly shown through the communication of his symbiotic partner, who he also haves a decent chemistry with. And overall, it was just really fun. It does have its cheesy stuff and I was expecting more from the action but I would say that this is otherwise a great anime film.

If you're interested to see it, you will find it on YouTube in the best quality. Here's the link to the film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyFfyDpy7Rk

Very happy I got to see it!
