Happy Halloween, I hope Parent’s Weekend treated everybody well.
In honor of the season, we will be screening Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust at 7PM this Saturday, as always in Barus & Holley 190. Halloween costumes are encouraged, and candy will be served!
Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust (2000) is an anime adaptation of the Vampire Hunter D novels by Japanese Horror author Hideyuki Kikuchi. Featuring a great voice cast, a satisfying story, and character designs by renowned artist Yoshitaka Amano, Bloodlust is a modern classic. It is a sequel to the well-regarded 1985 Vampire Hunter D, one of the earliest anime films to gain exposure in America. From the box cover:
The half-blood vampire hunter known only as D has been hired to track down Meier Link, a notoriously powerful vampire who has abducted a human woman, Charlotte Elbourne. D’s orders are strict - find Charlotte, at any cost. For the first time, D faces serious competition. The Markus brothers, a family of vampire hunters, are pursuing the same bounty. D must intercept Meier and conquer hostile forces on all sides in a deadly race against time. Despised by vampires for his profession and by humans for the blood in his veins, D relentlessly pursues his prey–for a price.
