Aroview: Raising the stakes in both style and story, this reworking of the original 1985 film spins the lone Vampire hunter's adventures in a different direction, with an even grimmer, more elusive "D" and imaginative characters sporting an arsenal of high-tech and supernatural weaponry.

"Striking visual ideas and an intriguing concept that blends the look and loner ethos of a Sergio Leone western with the crumbling, gothic settings of a Mario Bava horror film." - New York Times

4 stars (Very Good) D is back with a cool combination of Japanese and Western elements, as well as a blend of futuristic sci-fi weapons and old-fashioned ass-kicking. A very stylish vampire anime. ~Tom H
