Leila interrupts the conversation between D and Charlotte by nabbing Charlotte. During this time, the damage done to the Marcus Brother’s vehicle by the Barbarois immobilizes it and Leila races off while the rest fight off and defeat the shadow ninja mutant, Benge who killed Nolt earlier. Of course D is no slouch either so he raced off after Meier, finally finding him during the day while Charlotte comes out and it’s confirmed that she is in fact in love with him, which hits home for D. Seriously, this dude alone going through and smoking the mutants like they were joints at a Bob Marley concert was just freaking amazing. Before the fight however, Grove is revealed to be a psychic who’s mental form is a happy little floating image that shoots numerous beams of death. We then find the cause of Nolt’s death is a trio of mutant mercenaries named Barbarois, whom D begins to square up against. Leila proceeds to race off and follow after him on her mono-motorcycle and the rest of the Marcus Brothers proceed on the trail of Meier, costing Nolt his life. After finally gaining a lead, the Marcus Brothers proceed to decimate the zombie/ghoul horde and encounter D in all of his moon lit badassery. Coming across the aftermath of the Baron passing, they are attacked while riding around in their bad ass APC of vampire hunting. The Marcus Brothers are actually a group of hunters with their special skill sets, Borgoff, their leader and master bowman, Kyle, a man who is rather proficient with spinning blades, Nolt, a massive man with a kick ass spiked hammer, Leila a beautiful blonde pistolera, and Grove who is physically a sickly and bedridden man. As he turns to leave, he’s informed that there is another group of hunters, known as the Marcus Brothers who have been sent to hunt the vampire who kidnapped her, Baron Meier Link. Here, he is hired to seek out Charlotte, the sister of a local affluent man, and given $500,000 for a down payment and after negotiating with Charlotte’s father, gets a bounty of $20,000,000 to return her, or see to her swift end should she be turned. We start out seeing D walking along into the ruins of a Wild West looking church, with numerous men armed with rifles trained on him as he enters. The sequel however was considerably better albeit still a bit dated by today’s standards. Surprisingly I found both on YouTube and proceeded to watch the first movie, which was to say the least a rather standard 1980’s anime movie both in artwork and plot. Some researching found that there was actually not a series but two movies created, one back in 1985 titled Vampire Hunter D, and a newer one in 2000 called Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust. After listening to Dan from Game Grumps, I’ve been itching to pick up watching the anime. or so, some 10,000 years after a nuclear war that brought about mutants and the rise of vampires (also known as Nobles/Nobility). The series follows an immortal dhampir (half-vampire, half-human) named D who is of massive power and ancient age this all takes place during The Dark Age of Technology 12,000 A.D. One of the prizes I manged to win was the light novel of Vampire Hunter D, which I read a few chapters of and have really enjoyed. A few months ago when Kenny, myself and some others were at Anime Boston, we attended a horror panel.
