CLASSIFICATION B-TIER

[+] Strengths & Highlights

I think that the story, although tierd and done, is well done and it pulls off that post apocolyptic feel with a little Castlevaninan twist.

[-] Vulnerabilities & Flaws

The story didn't really "flow" right, it seemed a bit choppy and hard to tell exactly where the story was going the first time, too light of a story, not enough twists and turns, pretty basic, could've been better done, especially if the movie was a little longer, but not bad none the less.

Product of Its Era 📼

Modern Consensus: A classic early-2000s review that captures the fandom enthusiasm of its day, despite dated production elements.

📖 Overview

This is an anime with a pretty average storyline, nothing you haven't seen before but it does it rather well, and D is one of the cooler characters that i've seen. Very reminicint of Castlevania for all you fans out there.

🎬 Storyline & Narrative

The story begins with the lead female character, Doris, attacking a dinosauroid mutant creature that's feeding on her apples, then she persues chase and runs into a vampire, and gets bitten, so she needs the services of a vampire hunter. You meet D, a rather mysterious vampire hunter who seems interested in taking her case. She offers him a place to say, 3 meals a day and her body as payment, and he accepts to her agreement (although they never sleep together, lol).

👥 Characters & Dynamics

D - As he is described early in the movie, he's a character who only says things when neccesary, leaving his actions to do his talking. A rather dark but imennsly cool character.

D's hand - Possibly one of the more interesting characters, pipes up whenever he has somthing witty to say. It's a sort of symbiote that is attached to D's hand.

Doris - A young girl who's father was a hunter (werewolves). She is bitten by a vampire and seeks help of an expert vampire hunter to kill the vampire and purge her of the curse.

Dan - You don't really see much of him to say the most, but he's Doris' younger brother, kinda the youth growing up.

Count Magnus Lee - A vampire over 10,000 years old and still tickin. As D describes him, the old ones are powerful and almost invincible, fighting Mangus Lee will be quite the task.

🎨 Animation & Visual Direction

The animation quailty is pretty average, although you do have to take into account this is an older anime, but personally I like the look.

🎵 Voice Acting & Soundtrack

The voices are fairly well done, I like D's although he doesn't talk very often, and the voice acting for his hand is especially well done.
