    Much better than the first...

    This is by far much better than its predescessor.

    This story is more vivid and engaging, while the animation is breathtakingly gorgeous.

    Rogue Dunpeal D is hired to track down a man's only daughter in the hope that she hasn't been 'taken' by her abductor, a vampire.

    The story sees the mysterious D on the trail of the ruthless vampire Meir Link, who also happens to be the target of the Markus Brothers - slayers of the undead.

    A well planned story with great visuals to boot, don't be put off by the first release of Vampire Hunter D, because this one lays it to rest.

    Rated - 4 stars [Highly rated reviewer]

    SO much better than the first

    If you saw the first, don't let it put you off seeing this far superior sequel. With excellent, atmospheric animation, passable dubing (if you must), and an interesting plot and climactic showdown ending, complete with vampire hunters in a ridiculous (but brilliant) armour-plated Mad Mad style trunk thing. A visual treat.
