Rent Vampire Hunter D (1985)

Some 10,000 years in the future, a woman is attacked by a vampire and commissions a vampire hunter named D to destroy the aforementioned count. This was one of the earliest anime movies to cross the Pacific and I wish that I had the advantage of childhood nostalgia, but I do not! I never saw it when I was younger and it wasn't my introduction to anime, so I'm forced to judge it entirely as is. The animation is ancient, sloppy, and stylistically conventional when compared to such movies as Akira, Ghost in the Shell or Ninja Scroll. The action and characters are both decent, but it's all distractingly outdated. An important, but short-sighted, relic worth a look for those die hard manga fans out there.....
