Vampire Hunter D... Castle destruction (Castlevania ending).

[brollysayan10]

era pequenino quando vi a este filme adoro emsmo infancia que nunca mais volta saudades da infancia

[Pyre]

It really is worth noting that Alucard from Castlevania is, as a character tremendously inspired by D. There are the obvious things (Both of them are unearthly-beautiful, plus the various supernatural powers), but there are similarities in SOtN that are neat covert shoutouts too (the Jewel of Open being a blue gem on a necklace, for example, or Alucard's English VA talking the way D does, even accounting for the sub-par English VA'ing).

[feakaziod]

shit l never realized that

[Luigi84289]

I wish they would have made more movies showing the adventures of Vampire Killer D.

[Pyre]

@Luigi84289 They aren't movies, but you can buy the novels that the character first appeared in, in English, off of Amazon.com

There's a TON of them though (15+), but the writing is pretty good! The plot of Bloodlust (the second Vampire Hunter D movie) is taken from book 3; "Demon Deathchase".

[Luigi84289]

@Pyre I was high when I typed that. I meant animated features.

[Pyre]

@Luigi84289 And I was sleep-deprived when i wrote my response - I wasn't trying to correct you, just wanted to point out the existence of the novels since you seemed interested in the character.

[breakanddrift]

That was very euphoric, its too bad animes aren't this good anymore. Well samurai champloo and others were amazing but its just something about animes like D or ninja scroll etc that isn't in anime anymore

[stardingo747]

these old 80's animes remind me of my childhood in Honduras.

a far more innocent time when I wasn't exposed to evil.....

[JReed1985]

I love this part in the movie, I love the music and the images of D just riding off into the sunset.

Whenever I'm depressed I feel like riding off into the sunset myself. VAMPIRE HUNTER D ROCKS!!!!

[anticalaca]

i love this part too, its near the best ending of a movie i ever seen!

[JReed1985]

Yeah I mean it's unlike other movie endings we have. This is one of those endings where the main character makes his off stage exit.

[VEGITA9000]

Love this Film so much!!, Hey guys did you know the girl who did the voice of Doris is allso dose " THE GREAT LAHARL" from the Disgaea saga... just saying^^

[VEGITA9000]

Oh yeah... and D is Seth from Street fighter 4

[BloodlustKid]

Probably mentioned already but Christopher Bee in the credits was a parody of Christopher Lee, one of the guys who played Dracula in film. The first was Bela Lugosi and his name was also parodied.

And I wouldn't say the Alucard/Sonia thing was ripped from this as the whole "relationship with a monster" thing has been a cliche used for centuries.

[Rowri88]

vampire hunter D started as a novel in 1983,so u cant say they copied it from castlevania

[MuayBoranWarrior]

... You mean Christopher Lee, right?

[sonicteams]

looks like Alacard, but was that Richter? think i heard those 2 ppl saying "Richter"

[MattKnifton]

D-chan

[XRedneckXRebelXGuyX]

reminds me of a clint eastwood cowboy movie.

[Misterioso]

On acid...

[Partyboy22]

Yeah, there are definitely a lot of Western vibes to this movie.

[Omegatonyisgod]

the crappyness of the animation of this is better than the crap in bloodlust, it gives it a unique and very kick ass atmospheric ending

[DanteBrian]

VHD came out 3 years before Castlevania, so you can't really say VHD copied Castlevania

....also Doris sounds like she's calling a pig in this video

[OrenRamoManuel]

I also forget to mention, The original Vampire Hunter D took place in volume one in the storyline as Bloodlust took place in volume 3. I wish they made another one based on volume 2.

[OrenRamoManuel]

I guess I can understand where you're going at. I do agree about the similarity, but Castlevania didn't convert to anime completely. It was just Rondo of Blood (aka Dracula X) Symphony of the Night which was the next installment had its artwork done my Ayami Kojima. Titles for the game boy and other hand held systems are mainly anime except the Dracula X remake for the psp and the latest one for ds (forgot the name) Of course I always wonder what D would look like if Kojima drew him.

[cromwellaproval1]

i could watch this forever one of my fave endings

[Montay5]

Did he ever go back to doris?

[MDthornton83]

Probably just for a short while before he decided to leave.

[DTakersgurl]

I've always loved the ending

The landscape is beautifult to me. They made it look so perfect. Makes me want to live in the country lol

[crazyjosiah]

D kinda looks like a cross between Batman and the Undertaker

[DTakersgurl]

I thoguht I was the only one who thought that lol

[Epox82]

I love this anime, one of the few i treasure and enjoy to his day

[Epox82]

*this

[Shadowserg]

Great anime!

[mr666nasty]

now, i have never really liked this sort of thing. to be honest manga just aint my thing...but this is a great piece of music, well done, it's great...rlly good bit of music there....

[darkkillerdude9]

dude if you think vampire hunter D is an adaption of a manga, then your dead wrong, Vampire hunter D is actually an adaptation of a novel, which is found in the manga section of most book stores, oh and Just to let you know there is a Vampire hunter D manga, but the manga is an adaptation of the novel as well.

[Partyboy22]

You can tell the movie had a spaghetti western vibe to it. From the young woman being threatened by the villain, to the mysterious hero riding in on a horse, to the lady falling in love with the hero, and the hero saving the day in the end. Even the end scene has D riding off into the sunset after his task was completed. I love it and the music is perfect. To those interested, I think it's simple "Theme of D."

[ludgidia123]

I agree with you,there are a lot of Western elements in this anime,but in the end it is simply awesome!

[kryps1]

This movie won. Great story, and most important of all--excellent music.  "Music will make or break a film."

[localpendulum]

One of the Classics and I forgot all about this song. Thanx for the memories. These were the Days when Anime Music wasn't all poppy and sound the same (even tho i still like it) but this is or has more feeling.

My Fav Classic Anime's and Sndtracks (imo of course)

1. Fist of the North Star

2. Venus Wars

3. Ninja Scroll

4. Windaria (i always cry watching that)

5. Vampire Hunter D

These are old school Classic anime's, man the memories and Music they had.

[guyfred666]

cool !

i wanna see this anime,is it really castlevania?

[Phenomenomix]

it's not castlevania.. this anime is called vampire hunter D (there is also vampire hunter D: bloodlust but in my opinion it isn't that great as this..) but still i warmly recommend watching this =)

[guyfred666]

cool,i can see this anime is good!

[shadito666]

where can i download this song please or can someone tell me what it is please thanks lol

[shadito666]

what is this tune please can anyone help i'd love to download it thanks

[johnlewisbrooks]

It's kinda odd. When a character like D or Sesshomaru smiles, it's almost like you've been awarded.lol

[senorctenaphore]

Always a classic-- even if the animation is a bit dated. To be honest, this is one of the few anime where I like the English dub better than the original Japanese-- especially at the end where they got rid of Dan's ear-splitting "D-chaaaaaaaaan!!!!" Aaargh, it is a razor in my ear drums!

[MDthornton83]

Classic anime film.

[ranmy00]

its an happy yet sad ending T_T

[ranmy00]

its an happy yet sad ending T_T

[ShadowYamoto]

One of my all time favorite anime. It also has one of the best endings. Always remember, Alucard is Dracula spelled backwards.

[Partyboy22]

This is a great ending!

[billybobg12345]

Amazing movie! A true cult classic. I love it.
