Sarasan Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 I'm surprised!!:wigout: Not a SINGLE thread about VHD!!! Oh well... I just started one.. Post what you like/dislike about the Anime. ( And tell me where I might be able to purchase a TRANSLATED set of the Manga or regular books that the movies was based on ;).) Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnum Apex Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 [font=trebuchet ms][color=darkblue]I liked [I]Vampire Hunter D[/I], but [I]Bloodlust[/I] was simply amazing. Everything about it was excellently executed. I think I've seen the movie about 20 times over the course of a month. I like it that much. As for your request, I'm pretty sure that the novels nor the manga have been translated, yet.[/color][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posthumous Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 I love both movies.I was going to make a topic about this but I noticed I sucked at those.Anyway. I remeber first watching VHD.I was just amazed with character designs and battles.Then I saw Bloodlust and my jaw dropped to the floor.Not ever have I seen a greater anime movie.

JCBaggee Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 [color=red]Actually, I did start a thread a few months ago, when I picked up "Bloodlust". The thread died though... Anyhoo, I love VHD, though I don't own it yet. I saw it on CN when it aired in 1993, and it was the first anime I ever saw. (Come to think of it, I need to remember to look for that one tomorrow when I'm in town). And I picked up Bloodlust a few months ago, remembering how good VHD was, and all the good things I'd heard about it. And they were all true. God, what an awesome movie that is. --J.C.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semjaza Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 There have been like three threads on it, they're all pretty old now though. I don't feel like typing all I think about it right now, but it's definately one of my favorite anime films (probably my second favorite actually). My favorite scene is still the opening, where the flowers decay and the fountains freeze at the presence of Meier. The ending was definately good as well, fulfilled my need to have a good closing.

Sarasan Posted January 6, 2003 Author Share Posted January 6, 2003 I just rented Bloodlust, and I watched it at least 12 times. I own the original VHD ( there's a guy who works here who loaned me the tape that he recorded off of TBS, he is SSOOOO cool!) I can watch it whenever I want ( too bad it's the edited version :grumble: Dad says I can't watch the unedited until I'm 16 :grumble: :grumble: ) Anyway, I agree with Semjaza Angel, about my favorite scenes and whatnot. And I think, that the best part of Bloodlust, is that it isn't just 'chop chop slice slice kill kill.' There's an actual story behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Meier_Link Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 hey there forum members! I own both films. I liked the first one, and the second one is my favorite movie. I was surprised to find out that the character designer for VHD is also the character designer for my favorite video game, "Final Fantasy VII", and that VHD Bloodlust's character design is based on FFVII character designs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spike speigel Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 I love VHD. It's one of my favorite anime movies of all time. I havn't seen Bloodlust yet, though. I hear it was really good. I watched VHD when it was on the sci-fi channel at around 12:00 at night. That really wasn't a good idea. Has anyone here done something like that? It's pretty scary.

Semjaza Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 I don't know that anything in Bloodlust is based on FF7 character designs... But Amano, I believe, first became famous for his illustrations in the Vampire Hunter D novels in Japan. He also did the designs for most of the FF games, among others. I'd say they are just related in his style, not that they are directly based of one another. He's possibly my favorite artist though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Meier_Link Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 if you own Bloodlust, it says on the back of the case, "based on character designs by Amano" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syk3 Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 I saw the second VHD movie, and I have to say that I was very impressed. It was a good story, while keeping good animation, and the characters were pretty cool as well. I actually havn't seen it in a while, but I remember that I liked it. As for the first one, I have yet to see it, but from what I hear, it's a classic but isn't quite as good as the sequal was.

Guest Meier_Link Posted February 2, 2003 Share Posted February 2, 2003 what's yur problem with newbies? yur a member too, so what do u mean "I don't see how talking about your 13 goats has ANYTHING to do with the topic at hand. Pull something like this again and you may not get off so easy."? That isn't nice to say and you shouldn't have editted her post to say that. I'm sure shy guy has his own reasons to edit, but that don't mean you have to butt in just cuz he started doing it before you. Sarasan is new at posting, incase you havn't noticed.

Sarasan Posted February 3, 2003 Author Share Posted February 3, 2003 Meier, really you don't have to do this for me. Really, I can cuss out this bankrupt moderating system myself.

Semjaza Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 The administrator is [URL=http://www.otakuboards.com/member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid=6]James[/URL]. He should be easy enough to find if you feel you actually have a legitimate enough complaint... although Meier apparently feels that James is also incredibly mean, I think you'll find that's not the case. Without getting into all of this, people here are trying to do their jobs... jobs that are basically thankless. We do something right and no one cares, we mess up and it's the end of the world. Just as you members mess up, perhaps mods do as well... It's not beyond anyone to do that. Don't post weird stuff that's offtopic or basically useless and you won't have any problems.

Magnum Apex Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 [font=trebuchet ms][color=darkblue]Quit your whining and get back to topic. Wait, I'm not a mod. Quit your whining and get back to topic. Amano made the artwork for the novels, and I think he was very involved in the Vampire Hunter D movie. I don't think he was in Bloodlust at all, but of course, since he made the artwork for the novels, it is normal that he gets a mention. From what I understand, Bloodlust is based on the third D novel. [/color][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if there's a manga too, or if the novels are actually manga. The bottom line is that they haven't been translated.

Semjaza Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 The VHD books are novels, in the sense that they are actually written. As far as I know, Amano just did various illustrations for the books, they are not manga. There is a manga version though, but it's rather old and out of print. I've never personally seen it. The author of the books is Hideyuki Kikuchi. Apparently, the first novel is actually translated into English. The translator is still negotiating with Kikiuchi's publishers, but Kikuchi himself wants the books to be released here very much. Amano is also working with DC Comics to produce a manga adaptation of the novels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plant_Angel Posted February 11, 2003 Share Posted February 11, 2003 I saw Bloodlust and loved it! I showed it to my non-anime watching friend and shes now going to go out and buy it!!
