Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust trailer

[airtioteclint]

The original was one hell of a movie but don't let your love for an original cloud your vision. Bloodlust is a fucking awesome movie.

[Look2Good2Binnocent]

I adore Vampire Hunter D. I first watched this when I was like 10, lol.

Thanks, Mom.

[RMBmike]

@jayden, I will agree the first one was better. The plot was better IMO, but I'm sorry, as good as the animation was in the first, the detail and vibrant colors in the animation of the second movie blows the first one away in that aspect.  Steamboy and Macross plus are the only two other movies I've seen with sharper animation.

[brightspark495]

i was just checking out about this series before actually watching them. if the show is as beautiful as this trailer then im in for a ride!! great stylish visuals! anime at its best.

[roothdragon]

@brightspark495 It helps that I had a beautiful anime to work with. :) Thanks for the compliment! I really should get back into video editing.

[john78tv]

@brightspark495 The animation quality does not diminish hardly anywhere in this film and plus it's 2 hours long, but feels like an hour and half cuz it's so exciting.

[sushilover606]

love love love Vampire hunter D! I wish there were more movies or even a series on him because he is so epic!!!

[AiHaydee]

I'm still inlove with this anime.. And I've seen it many years ago. Ahh D.... ^_^

[Blestyr]

Problem Twilight? -trollface-

[wiccafreak23]

What is the first one called? I just realized this was the second.

[roothdragon]

@wiccafreak23 The first was just: Vampire Hunter D. It was my first 'anime', and I saw it in raw unsubtitled Japanese. Didn't understand a word of it at the time, but I was hooked. :)

[wiccafreak23]

@roothdragon I watched both of them, I love the second one the most lol.

[doctorw2]

weird movie i mean really weird.

[HeartedAngel27]

where can i watch anime? anyone knows?

[wiccafreak23]

@HeartedAngel27 animefreak.tv

[SomeoneStoleMyMangos]

@HeartedAngel27 try AnimeFreak.tv (or something like that, you can google it). It has tons of animes that are in English and Japanese, and some also have subtitles. The only bad thing is that you can only watch 72 minutes of a show at a time. You then have to wait another 72 minutes before it lets you watch it again. It uses MegaVideo so, yeah.

[HeartedAngel27]

wow im never into vampire stories but now i might end up checking this out..haha

[AlwaysDreamChaser]

the best vampire story i have ever seen in a movie

[ti0patinhas]

D king of facepalm

[cammyNpammy]

wait is trhis the second movie a sequal to the first or a different version of the first

[Goutetsu13]

@cammyNpammy It's a sequel, but not a direct sequel. Meaning, you don't have to watch the first to see this.

[jesulegitan]

wow vampire hunter the best movie manga

[ivanchica21]

this is one of the best anime AND best vampire movies I've seen. beautiful animation, good story, dark and exciting. so well done.

[warlocksmight]

As I understand it came out in 2000. How ever even now 10 years later (OMG is it that much alrdy! ) the animation looks awesome and I couldn't help but feel that it can easily rival movies that came out this or last year.

[akjohn1988]

maybe the best anime ever...

[HeartLocker]

I've watched the movie, very promising, and I am definitely not regretting for my 1hr 41min.

The movie is fast-paced, complex, yet very intense and clear.

You couldn't find a single filler moment throughout the entire movie.

One of the best vampire genre anime, next to Hellsing in my opinion.

[SakuraAvalonBleac25]

@HeartLocker

I <3 This movie also!! and the book is really good to ! :D

[project0omega]

cool i didnt know there was a second movir MUST watch

[Alonewolfperson101]

could someone tell me about vampire hunter d?

[bagmantastic]

@Alonewolfperson101 basically it boils down to this: D is a half breed (born from ahuman and vampire) and as such "banished" from both groups. he hunts vampires though as he sees them as evil and him having strong points from 2 races hes 1 of the few who can actually kill them.

in this movie hes after a human girl who has been "kidnapped" (turnes out later she wanted it to happen). on his way he meets various mythical ... creatures, notably from the balkans/greece/middle east.

[cha5]

I've seen the original 1985 Vampire Hunter D (great film),

but I haven't yet gotten to this one, I thought I had heard at one time there was talk of doing a live action Vampire Hunter D movie.

[bktimm199]

@cha5

imagine Hollywood get a hold on the Live action movie

[cha5]

@bktimm199 I'm a little afraid to, I keep imagining something on the scale of the live action Blood The Last Vampire film or the Dragon Ball Z movie.

[KostjaMRH]

Yap, music is from Mortal Kombat the movie :)

[AColonDashSix]

Used the ol' black screen quote finisher. Classic move.

[roothdragon]

@AColonDashSix And suitably campy. The teacher got a chuckle out of it too. ;)

[psyxou]

is that music from Akira ... by Kenji Kawai (i think)

[roothdragon]

Nope, I think it's from Mortal Kombat, the movie.

[psyxou]

yeah i guess ... but which part?

[MisterMantastic]

@roothdragon I analyzed it (oh the joy of smartphones) and you're correct.

It's "A taste of things to come" from the Mortal Kombat movie score.

[BlumBlumMathew]

Does any1 know the voice actor 4 D..? .-.

[PendulumRise]

@BlumBlumMathew I think it was Andrew Philpot

[ElizabethBathory7]

I like this so much more than the official trailer

[roothdragon]

Wow, thanks. :)

[PendulumRise]

great job! I like that you stuck to your guns and did what you wanted to do for the assignment.

[roothdragon]

Thanks! I was in it more for the know-how than the grade. I think if I was doing a curriculum toward a degree, I might not have been so brave.

[shay341]

this is so good i want to get as good as you one day hopefully.

[roothdragon]

Take a class, it'll be easy. :)

[zaknaf3in1]

where can see this anime ??

[illysgr]

@zaknaf3in1

i dont know if u can watch it online because its on sale but u can check on a torrent site ...

[Live2Bodybuild]

@zaknaf3in1 animecrazydotnetslashvampire-h­unter-d-bloodlust-episode-1/

[Live2Bodybuild]

@Live2Bodybuild with w w w preceding that of course

[Adamlikesguys]

you only got a fucking B? This is a very well done trailer for an amatuer

[roothdragon]

Why thank you. :) I think the reason he gave me a B was because I didn't do the assignment (which was to make a commercial out of a bunch of really lame-o footage .. and not very much of it at that). The whole point of taking the course was to learn how to use Final Cut so I could make AMVs, so the trailer was a good compromise -- about as long as a commercial, and employing similar techniques. Also, the dialog wasn't well separated (lack of source tracks will do that, tho).

[robochibi]

Man when are they going to make a thrid film? We've waited 9 years since Bloodlust and they havent even announced a third film. Would it kill them to throw their long-suffering fans a bone on this one?

[Tanakaumi]

they might not make a third one this second move is actually based on the third book.

[liovarjo]

D kinda looks like Dark Paladin.

[ram100677]

I think you wouldve gotten an A if you would left out the text from critics and the red "Bloodlust" text at the beg. I like the music choice is great, its high NRG with some wicked imagary from a super cool movie. Cant go wong with Vamp D 1 or 2.

[Gun39610]

Just downloaded on torrent.

[monyx17]

Definetly one of the best animes ever.

[blue0092008]

This is one of the best animation movie evr watched

[SonOfTheMorning]

any1 know any other good violent animation movies like this? doesnt have to be about vampires

[jeffzalonka]

go watch some of the stuff that were made by the same guys. ninja scroll, highlander, and wicked city

maybe youve seen them though. also, try elfen lied if you havent already seen it.

[liovarjo]

oh i didnt know ninja scroll was made by the same guys... i watch both this ninja scroll recently... they're gr8! and i watchd elfen lied b4 them. which is also gr8!

[theterriblesky]

@SonOfTheMorning - fist of the north star(original) any ultimate hellsing, ninja scroll, spriggan, storm rider clash of evils, and a really cool ultra voilent live action movie(if you're interested) ''versus''

[JustAPrayer]

I saw this years ago and it's still one of top favorite anime movies.

[rangers1love]

It just doesn't rival the original, its better!

[SinnerInTokyo]

Hmm...this looks pretty good!

[Soilder2ndClassGunny]

One of the best Anime's you will watch, I assure you.

[hernesto83]

Pues yo ya vi la pelicula y esta bien machina, la neta es una de las pocas que mas me gustan.

[Djinnlover]

:( I really want o see this but i dont know where to find it Y~Y

[Kniteborne]

I found both movies on 1 disc, from Ebay, It has japanese text on the box

[chilli999]

pimpanime has it on

[audioa4vr]

You can order it online. I got mine that way or they sell it at a store called DVD planet.

[Polydectus]

You can find it on eBay or even at your local Wal-Mart, the one near me has it.

[jayden777]

I love this film. It's passionately produced, imaginative, darkly magical, and engaging. The only aspect I clearly feel could have been stronger, is the final fight between D and Meier Link (the super villain Boss Vampire who abducts Charlotte). That fight came off as a bit abrupt compared to previous action, which was awesome. That said, the directing and action, main characters, art direction, atmosphere, score, and voice work is great. Overall this is one of the best animated films out there.

[Miyu82]

totally agreed.

[danatrance]

@jayden777 sorry for my ignorance but does this anime is made up of episodes like the death note? or "just" a movie ?

[SakuraAvalonBleac25]

@jayden777

You think the movie is awsome, check out teh book :D (if you didnt read it)

its very good, and fills in sum of the plot holes.

[BLACKSABBATH0HM]

@jayden777 The original from 1985 was much better. This one was too much more family orientated in comparison. The monsters werent nearly as scary and their wasnt nearly as much violence and gore. Also the original had better animatiion.

[arseniy]

I have not seen 1st one then. I saw exactly this one only.

[AnthonyPhilipTorres]

Other than Leila i thought this was a fairly perfect movie. Leila could have been scripted A LOT better, you came off as annoying.

[nordicgoth]

mortal kombat

[Khultan]

I'm wondering if Madhouse could do the work for Elfquest.

[meliane1]

Vampire Hunter bloodlust is beautiful. I like it. Thank you for the trailer on line on Youtube

[CloudPow]

This is AWESOME!

[benjamillion]

does doris come back in this?

[CloudPow]

@ benjamillion No, the 2 movies are individual stories with D as the constant, just as the novels are stories of their own. They do happen one after the other, but there is no telling how far in between the stories occur (months? yrs? decades? no one knows lol). ^_^

[Barclay1987]

Nice!

[54spiritedwill54]

This is the coolest film i have seen

[sonicnarutofreak93]

sequel? that was a sequel?!

[roothdragon]

Yes, Vampire Hunter D was the first movie, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust was the 2nd movie.

[rockgirl166]

u are getting a response from me soon on this video ;) thx for the awesome idea

[roothdragon]

Eagerly awaiting your response. *peers at your page*

[DaemonEX0]

Good pick of footage and all, but gotta admit, the texts are misplaced. I would've completely blanked out the screen and put those in quickly between clips, and had used a more clear (and less boring font). Other then that, awesome job.

[roothdragon]

Agreed on the text. I was really frustrated with it, and the font choices were lacking. It was the default text rendering thing that Final Cut Pro 2 (old, 4-year-old program) came with. It was a rendering engine that was named after some guy, so it felt 3rd party to me, and it behaved that way, too. Today's Final Cut Studio (with Motion) does an AWESOME job with text. If I could actually upgrade my version, I would redo this project.

Thanks for your feedback!

[errxor]

Pretty good editing job, but i will say you need to do something with your use of text. The words floating around look too lonely

[roothdragon]

The loneliness aspect was kind of intended, for D himself is quite a bit of a loner, and the background footage supports this theme. I just wish there were more font choices, and a much better font rendering engine. It looks so blocky with the default stuff this program came with.

Thanks for your feedback!

[kea919306]

i can understand why you got the b the last 20 seconds werest as good as the rest

[Danostime]

Wats wrong with ur teacher?! u should've have gotten an A! I liked this one better than the real trailer. hehe.

[Nirewolf]

I gotta say that I thought the text scrolling by sideways was an odd choice. Aside from that and perhaps a mediocre font choice, this was very good - especially the dialog near the end! That was well-chosen.

[roothdragon]

Agreed on the font problems. The scroll direction of the text was meant to match the direction of the backdrop -- if I had more time and/or editing tools, I would have reversed the direction of the backdrop so the scrolling text was easier to read. But, you're probably right, fixed text (or very slightly moving) would have been better.

Thanks for the feedback!

[AeolusMN]

you probably would have gotten a higher grade if the use and choice of fonts was a little better. The pace picks up very nicely along with the music.

[psylentknight]

Well done! Worthy of it's high grade, but I'd have given it an "A" for both the song and I like that movie, haha.

[geokiren]

There are 2 movies actually...the first is very old and its called Vampire Hunter D and the new one Vampire Hunter D : Bloodlust...!

[setustraight]

Sorry I'm not very educated when it comes to animae, but are Bloodlust and Vampire Hunter D

the same thing, or related in any way?

[razberryclownsac]

D is old first one from the 80s and Bloodlust is a lot newer. Only thing in common is D, the main character. I like the plot in the old one better but the animation in the new is amazing, plus it was directed by the same guy that did Ninja Scroll

[lovelyirene2001]

I know why you got a B. The letters/titles at the beginning of the trailer obscured the background images. Once they're gone, the image suddenly brightens up. You should've adjusted the transparency level of the letters. The transitions of the images to the rythms of the gong beats are good, but then you hit a snag with the sample dialogues. The images are overdrawn & lazily edited. It slows the pace.

[roothdragon]

Text: I know; the letters were impossible to read because the renderer was terrible (as you can tell). To get them to be remotely legible, I had to darken the backdrop. With the tools I had at the time, it was the only option.

Dialogue: agreed. If I had the original recording, I could have pulled the dialogue track out, but all I had was the DVD, and the stereo track. If I had 5.1, I could have sampled from the center speaker track, and it would have been better.

[lovelyirene2001]

Well... It happens. Anyway, check out this VHD music video made by a guy named cscentrlTV. It's fantastic! The guy did a fantastic job and you might get some pointers on his AMV. I'll post it here as a video response, if you don't mind? :)

[roothdragon]

Nope, I don't mind. :)  Fire away!

[Vampiregirl1895]

this is great, you got only a B, come on teacher, you should have givin at least an A++ fo this

[jesusrules999]

This is the coolest film i have seen all year.

It oozez greatnes

[AngelUsako]

good job!

[juliana667hellsing]

Whoa...nice peace of work! I too did "Vampire Hunter D" trailer, only I used audio from 'batman begins' trailer XP. You can watch it if you like. 5/5

[punklie21]

u got a B on this

u should've got a A+

on this

i loved it

[roothdragon]

Thanks! I think if I had to change it now, I'd have cleaned up the text, and made the Bloodlust splash screen less shakey (it was like that on the DVD tho :( )

[GOTHMIDNIGHTMERMAID]

Cool movie trailer I only saw the 2nd 1 1nce & the 1st 1 more then a few times! :)

[zombiesatemymonkey]

niceeeee

was really good

[roothdragon]

Thanks! :)

[BattelFreedom]

great job

[roothdragon]

Thanks! I wish I could have made the letters a lot clearer. Couldn't fathom why they were so fuzzy. My next video will be using Motion, which is exceptionally good at such stuff.

[Fjompan]

Good
