Old enough that many of the anime techniques used herein have become cliche -- but still has a cool enough story to be worth a look.

Audience Reviews for Vampire Hunter D (Banpaia hantâ D)

Based on the manga created by Hideyuki Kikuchi (I google it) this a great story about a dampeel named D. Fantastic vampire anime, specially the character created by Yoshitaka Amano (big fan! Didn't google it). I want to see a third part.
