Saturday Movies #3
admin
This Saturday’s movies feature my favourite animated vampires, both connected to the very King of Vampires himself.
Watch Vampire Hunter D
Vampire Hunter D is a great comic book romp with excellent art direction, camera work, interesting characters and action sequences. Many of the sets are beautifully painted and the music/foley is well done. There are certainly some cliche elements but the dhampir hunter D is way cool.
Next….
HELLSING OVA #1
Watch hellsing part 1.mpg
The first of an epic 5 part series, Hellsing chronicles the secretive battle of England against invading Nazi vampires while dealing with their political foes from the Vatican. The gun-toting vampire Alucard is one of the most fun characters I have watched in a while. Fun voice acting and dialog, cool story and good camera and art direction in this film. I had to watch all 5 episodes!
Enjoy this Saturday’s movies - all comments welcome!

Great choices, Hathead. I’ve been reading several of the original Vampire Hunter D novels that were released recently. Hideyuki Kikuchi, the author, has created an even stranger world in the novels than is shown in the anime. Highly recommended.

Thanks Ricky! It is hard for some of these feature format films to get the depth of the original mangas across.
Appleseed was like that to me, where half the film seemed in-your-face exposition in an effort to get across the breadth & depth of the manga story universe inside one movie.
