      There is a vampire in everyone

      This D is not a complete vampire, but it can be understood as the one in the heart of the original author and Kawajiri Yoshiaki.

      I once watched this movie when I was most obsessed with vampires. It is different from many foreign vampire movies. The plot of this animated movie is very simple, with very few characters. The protagonist D is too cold and doesn’t even say a few words , but as long as you watch it, you can leave a very deep impression on people....

      Vampires come from aliens

      After watching Vampire Hunter D,

      Mia and Charlotte took the spaceship to the Dark Country. It is estimated that it is the planet of vampires.
      According to my personal inference, vampires are some kind of aliens. Years shrouded in sunlight is simply not suitable for them to survive.
      As a result, only a few remained. Their technology is much more advanced than that of the earth, and they also unexpectedly found that human blood is delicious. The interesting thing is that after...

      Remember a good time

      I haven't watched anime for many years. Speaking of which, there is always some emotion. It’s like there are many post-80s around me. When they talk about Cui Jian, Dou Wei, and Zhang Chu, their expressions immediately change. There are all kinds of new singers, all of which can't get into their eyes. Yes, they seem to have lived through the best era of Chinese rock and even Chinese music. People back then were good at being original and embracing different styles. In front of...

      Japan Anime Film Festival, a movie that I am looking forward to, the scene is in English. In fact, it still feels a little different, but the overall mood is very satisfying to watch. The original translation name was "Vampire Hunter D". I don't know why this film festival changed its name, which made me very difficult to search for information in the early stage. Fortunately not...

      How to draw the richest curve on the simplest coordinates.

      How to draw the richest curve on the simplest coordinates.

      The story of Hideyuki Kikuchi should be said to be relatively simple, there are not too many judgments, too many right and wrong, and this plot of the movie is even more so, the old-fashioned love story, the lone knight, the secret life experience, Yoshitaka Amano All of this is three-dimensional, and the legend is trapped in the sadness of fate. It is like a desolate wind in the vast desert. In the quiet summer night, there...

      #日本动漫电影大师展# In addition to the darkness of Gothic style, Kawajiri also created another magnificent and terrifying day world. For his iconic high-contrast light and shadow performance, D, who is completely dark, is undoubtedly an unexpected guest of the day and an unexpected foreign object as the half of the vampire. Rather than saying that the spectacles that the audience sees with D are all spectacles, it is better to say that D walking in various landscapes is the full picture of spectacles....

      Cross-racial love, this one ended in tragedy, but at that moment the rocket took off, they seemed to live in heaven forever, together! As far as screenwriting is concerned, the two clues of light and dark are advanced and mapped, which is amazing! The feelings he contains are also extremely deep and...

      8/10. The characters are coquettish and full of character, the action design is unique, the world view is fascinating, the tight rhythm and the aesthetic poetry are equally important, and it is the leader in a vampire movie. Desert batfish, tree demon and shadow demon, the vampire who was about to be burned by the setting sun stepped out of the carriage to take back their lover, the fantasy formation of the female castle master and the blood-bathed resurrection, etc., swayed the magnificent and...

      An excellent visual feast, Yoshiaki Kujiri perfectly combines his unique creativity with traditional vampire cultural elements (Gothic, Medieval), and has obvious personal characteristics from monster modeling to action design, although the plot design is slightly It is old-fashioned and "mainstream", but it can be accepted and appreciated by new audiences and the original party, which is worthy of...

    Make the background

    The novel version was first published in 1982. The author injected respect for "Vampire DRACURA", and then created the half-human half-vampire protagonist vampire hunter "D" with the title of his ideal vampire. Since the novel was published, it has been welcomed by many readers. So this work was adapted into an animated film, and the story frame of the theater version was derived from the third part of the novel series "D-Monster...

    Movie quotes

    • D: It may be too late for her. Your sister may already have been tempted. What then?

      Alan Elbourne: You have to get there before that happens, what do you think we're paying you for?

      John Elbourne: That's enough!... My son is emotional, please excuse him. This has been difficult for all of us. If you knew my daughter, you'd understand. She's kind and beautiful, and her loss is more than this old soul can bear. Now, I need to ask you something: if you find her changed, can you see that her death is without suffering. Be kind to her, please.

      Alan Elbourne: No! No, we can't do that! It isn't right! No, she won't be changed! You're talking about your own daughter!

      John Elbourne: Alan, listen to me. It's not easy to ask him for this, but it's something that must be done. I'm sorry. Do you understand?

    • D: Stop right there, Meier. I'm taking her back, back to her family who loved her.

      Meier Link: She knew I loved her best of all. You can't understand it. You've never loved a human.

      D: I've never killed one, either.

    • [Japanese dub]

      Meier Link: You should bear in mind, D, that your struggle to resist our nature can't last forever. One day, the urge for their blood will be stronger.

      D: And when that day comes, another will hunt me. It's as simple as that.
