Not only have the novels expanded since their inception, Vampire Hunter D has also been adapted into manga, an audio drama, art books, and films. Vampire Hunter D originally began as a series of novels in 1983, written by Hideyuki Kikuchi and illustrated by Yoshitaka Amano. After the credits rolled, I knew I wanted to share this series with others, as well as speak to what I enjoyed about the film. Come to find out it didn’t take long for the atmosphere and characters to win me over. Recently I discovered the 1985 film of Vampire Hunter D with only a slim understanding of the series, I decided to dive in and give the film a shot.

My first introduction to vampires in anime was that of the Hellsing OVA (a series I will absolutely be covering later in this column).
