 Made me feel all nostalgic again>>> by Draco Paladin (??.??.2001)
This was actually the first serious anime that I watched after a few years. I actually refrained from watching those Golion (Voltron) series. They paled in comparison to the Super Robots before them. So Vampire Hunter D was my first adult theme anime to see. I heard that they were doing a remake. Just made me feel all nostalgic again.
The story is set in post apocalyptic earth. Where vampires have come to rule the earth. The story starts when a young girl is bitten by a vampire. And she enlists the aid of D. Vampires here act like the nobility. And from their point of view their existence is justified.
You ask why his name is only a letter? Probably has a hard time pronouncing his name so he shortened it. But seriously, you will know the reason at the end. One interesting theme here is the struggle of D with his humanity. It is like what all of us regular human dudes go through. I mean, everyday we struggle with choosing the right path. Trying to do what is good and avoiding what is bad. At least that is I presume most of us are trying to do.
There is gore. But compared to the other anime coming out right now, it seems pale in comparison. I don't know about the remake though. I was always fascinated by werewolves and vampires and those supernatural stuff. So this one really has a special place for me.
