Quotes:
D: Your time is coming to an end. Your kind must face extinction. You cannot survive, you must die. That is the rule of nature.
Carmila: Ah. Very strong words for a dunpeal, but you seem to forget. Our spirits... are eternal.
D: No, Carmilla. Nothing lasts forever.
Carmila: I see. I should have known better than to reason with your kind, Dunpeal hunter. I guess my only option is to use force!
D: AH!

action toned down, but quality turned up, 8 August 2002
7/10
Author: Jessie Robertson (MrBoBomb@aol.com) from United States

Vampire Hunter D is a legend in some aspects of the anime world. It was the first anime I saw as a child and it was a movie I never forgot. I borrowed the sequel from my friend and I was very happy with it. There isn't as much fighting as in the first one, but the story is deep and thick with great characters. Meijer Link, a vampire with noble intentions with a human girl, is the first decent vampire we see in the D movies. You root for him, yet D never loses in battle, so it's really tough watching them fight. We see again D's constant struggle with his self and the life that he leads. He's stuck between a human life and a vampire's life, never truly fitting into either. He meets a bounty hunter, Leyla, who finds something truly magnetic about D and his loneliness in that she has felt the same way in her life. It truly is a somber tale full of lively characters, a tremendous love story, and of course, D's usual blood spilling action. A great movie that I think most audiences will enjoy.
