“When VHD: Bloodlust came out, I wasnu0026#39;t too very interested. Having recently got the chance to watch the film though, I know now I should have been. VHD:B is top notch so far as dark anime goes. From the opening scene, watching the crosses twist and crumble as the dark carriage passes by, you know youu0026#39;re in for something good. VHD:B doesnu0026#39;t disappoint.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFirst off, D has been given a major upgrade. He looks more vampire like, he looks stronger and badder than ever before. The new art helps much, of course. D is hired to find a girl named Charlotte, dead or alive, who has been taken by a vampire from her home. Adding to the mix is a bounty team already has a head start on D, and each member of this team could well have his/her own anime. These are no second rate fill-ins, these folks are every bit as interesting as D. The vampire in question doesnu0026#39;t disappoint either, showing the full force of his powers from the very first scenes.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAll in all, if youu0026#39;re looking for something darker and blood filled, watch this show. It looks dang good, the english voices are much better than youu0026#39;d expect, and things just simply click. Itu0026#39;s well worthy of the VHD name, and surpasses the original in nearly every way.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu003culu003eu003cliu003eRirath_comu003c/liu003eu003c/ulu003e”
