    Review:
         > Vampire Hunter D was the first Anime movie I've ever seen. This movie was originally created in 1985, and so far has remained a cult classic among fans and spawn one sequel that came twelve years later. With artwork by renowned Japanese artist, Yoshitaka Amano, this is definitely a classic.

         > This movie takes place in a time where humans are ruled by vampires in an ancient feudal like system. One of the main characters of movie is a young woman
    named Doris, who is chosen to become the Count's next bride. She eventually encounters our hero D and hires him to stop the Count.  The Count in turn sends many of his followers to try and stop D. Will D be able to save the young woman in time?

         > Vampire Hunter D features great artwork from Yoshitaka Amano -- some of you might recognize his work from the Final Fantasy Video Game series. I wouldn't recommend this movie for people under the age of 16, because it contains lots of violence, gore and sexuality.

    Bottom Line:
         > This is a great Sci-fi film with stuff for everyone. If you haven't yet seen this great movie, I'd recommend viewing it immediately -- it's well worth it. Enjoy!!
