Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust [AMV] - Sanctus Espiritus (Our Solemn Hour) 

Incredible what passionate artists can create without being shackled by big coorperations that only care about money and agenda pushing nowadays.

First dvd I ever purchased. Absolutely love it. Was showing it to my gf a year ago and she likes subtitles but this is from like the first year they made dvds or something and it didn’t have such luxuries back then. Also the audio is like insanely loud in the action scenes and almost deafly quiet in the dialogue scenes.

And Akira comes in 1988

むざんめっけ❤

Loved it, my only gripe is the audio was fucked up. Quiet and then loud in the wrong places. Watched the first time with my friends in High School and one of my buddies made the stereo to try and balance it out.

True...

@Nico Nico Nii! I'm just really love to enjoy the generation that I not even exist yet :3

@Nico Nico Nii! I'm good,I'm not take that as offensive tho :3 Btw I Wish you have a great new year and Stay positive if any thing go bad ♥️♥️♥️

That's why I'll forever rewatch them lol

Can't believe it's that old judging from the artstyle.

And if it failed, it would have been a bad enough hit to the studio that it could have easily bankrupted them. Even then, it wasn't as successful as they hoped, which likely killed any future Vampire Hunter D projects, provided that the author of the Light Novels didn't nix the idea from the start.

@@jgkitarel It was ahead of its time. I think that if it released today, it would have done much better. Anime was still pretty niche back then.

@@rhiethreal Anime was only still pretty niche in foreign markets, which were not, and still aren't, the primary market for anime, which is the Japanese public, which anime isn't niche though you would be surprised by the primary target demographic, which is children much like how animation is elsewhere. And it was less ahead of its time and more that the cost of production of such a series at the same quality as the movies, especially the second one, would be hard to justify. The bottom line dictates a company's decisions in the end, as they have to turn a profit and the cost of the movies was immense for an animated production. Yes, they could make it less these days without stinting on quality, but it would still be one that would make a company take a careful look at the chances it has at being successful quickly enough to recoup the cost to not hurt the company. Also, the Vampire Hunter D light novels don't lend themselves well to a TV series, rather than individual movies to begin with.

@@jgkitarel I meant in the West, not in Japan. This is the kind of anime that would appeal more to a Western Audience, in the same way Cowboy Bebop did.

@@jgkitarel kñk

Other song that goes well with this anime is: sonata arctica - Fullmoon. check it out it is one of my all time favorite amv :)

This anime was created by the same people who made Ninja Scroll.

I got heavy into JJBA because of its lovely art this show is about to be on my watch list since JJBA part 5 ended. The art style is breath taking

Caleymore?

@@julian-fk3lp Claymore

Me seeing Berserk: *GGGGGGRRRRRIIIIIFFFFFFFTTTTTTHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

Ottoman there's supposed to be one coming out. It's been in pre-production since 2016, last I heard.

Because peoples heads would explode! lol

yep, they are working in the pilot episode rn

If thats the case then im hyped

Because of financial circumstances at the time and who owned the rights. It didn't make as much money as they wanted so they producers preferred to invest in sure brands like Sailor Moon and Naruto, those types never fail to make a big return on investments. This level of quality does not give as big a return as they want. Ask yourself: how much advertising can you cram between episodes on something like this? And you see just how ballsy HBO is. GOT only started being a "good" investment after season 2.

Simphonyc metal

None of that sparkly twilight shit. These are proper, real hardcore vampires

@@WHITInDARKER Whitin Temptation!

Magda GL.jest świętej pam.this right

JESTEM MARTĄ WYDRĄ👻🙊😇🙉♾️💙🤫🎃STRACHUPASZOŁWONPRECZzkomuną!

Goddamn right.

ShinKyuubi really wish they did a Hellsing crossover with vampire hunter D. Most badass vampires teaming up or going at it would be truly grear

It's not a movie, but it is something: comicbook.com/anime/2018/10/11/vampire-hunter-d-new-anime-update-resurrection/

Queen of Fear same

I wish too

Лучше не делать этого. Иначе получатся современные звездные войны.

Same. I'm digging out the Blu rays of both movies to watch now.

Hell yeah!

Carl Whitted Honestly, they should get the Director and animators who made VHD: Bloodlust to REMAKE Borkle 2016-17 because we deserved better.

That didn't age well

@@roberte.o.speedwagon114 Why not?

@@dragonlord1935 There is Castlevania anime today.

@@roberte.o.speedwagon114 and it's pretty damn good

Bloodlust is still one of the best anime movies on par with Studio Ghibli's works. After 20 years still looks better then most of XXI century anime.

This anime will never be a memory 😜

Very well made.

IKR! I saw it all many years ago, I don't remember most of it

Yep. Seems quite Christian. Will have to study the lyrics carefully though as goth music and gothic metal often likes to use religious tropes for aesthetics or as inversion. This seems quite sincere though tbh

Agree, because the best Mangas aren't adapted to Anime, people prefers boobs over cool stories

@@Ismail33313 both are good. They mix well. Jormungand, cowboy Bebop, Canaan, Elfen Lied, Gangsta, Hellsing Ultimate, Maria the Virgin Witch, Blood C: The Last Dark and Shiki are all great examples.

Keep in mind that both were not profitable enough to justify making an entire series for, especially when you consider the quality of the animation of the movies, which a series wouldn't have due to production cost. A movie can be expensive an be a financial loss for a production studio because they can usually absorb it provided that the studio's survival doesn't hinge on the success of the movie. Even with a market, it's matter of how much return they get for their investment in production quickly enough. The bottom line screws many ideas because a production company making an anime is taking a not inconsiderable risk. Look at the larger companies and you will realize that majority their profits only come from a relative small number of series, with the rest breaking even, or turning a small profit at best, due to not releasing the series at the right time to capitalize on things or not releasing a series soon enough, making it seem like a follow the leader type of scenario. The latter, while it can turn a profit, is rarely as profitable as the ones who started it.

D would definitely be a Blood Angel.

I know, right?!

Fun fact - D is a prototype of Alucard.also in the fanfic universe they are brothers...

Yeah i love this couple too.

You should read the book it's loosely based on: Vampire Hunter D (Book 3) Demon Deathchase It's much better, imho

@@ariajohnson8107 I've actually read the book as well. Still love it. But the hunter unit, aside from D, was seriously fucked up.

The video has scenes from vampire hunter d bloodlust Vampire Hunter D: bloodlust was made in 2000

Хоть 1 русский 👏

@@Elisey_powerlift согласен,

There is Redline which is 102 minutes of hand drawn perfection. It took 8 years to make and is a masterpiece of animation. Probably the last masterpiece of animation.

So true and it hurts. Now Anime production studios have to snap up light novels, overwork their artists to get stuff out the door then just fix everything for the DVD collections. Its sloppy, basic, and uninspired and people eating it up means those of us who appreciate and love quality like this miss out.

Naruto,Inuyasha,Berzerk,those are beautifull to.

HellSing is ok to

@@danieldd1804 the Ova or the other one?

Yeah me too, it's much better than new vampire stuffs. D is really alone, half vampire _half human, most of vampires are selfish and heartless and humans hate vampires so D can't be in any side and if he falls in love with a human in the end he should see that person's death because he will never turns a human into a vampire...it's sad. I really love this animation and it could be really good if they made a anime about this.

Same here, mate!

Me too :D

Queen of Fear , hey how old are you ?

In 2000

Trust and Betrayal always tugs at the heart strings. Love those OVAs.

+Gobiniu Me too. :)

Gobiniu me too^_^

Me like too).

Its a movie And you should Its a masterpiece

Да! Так и есть!!!

Right.

Actually it's a parasite akin to D's hand possessing a werewolf, but yeah, looks the part.
