Episode 95 - Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust (2000)
It's once again time for Anime August here at Catching Up On Cinema!
This week, Trevor forces Kyle to sit through Yoshiaki Kawajiri's Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust (2000)!
With character designs by Yoshitaka Amano, and featuring fluid, gorgeously rendered animation and background paintings, the film is a Gothic sci-fi actioner that unfortunately suffers from poor pacing and a bloated runtime.
Undeniably stunning in terms of production design and action choreography, the film's technical brilliance is unfortunately only allowed to be appreciated in fits and spurts, making for a frustrating, and somewhat tepid experience.
