      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

    • Left Hand: Getting close... the Castle of Chaythe. Soon we'll be able to see it: the home of Carmilla, the Bloody Countess. You've heard of her. For five thousand years her rule of terror lasted, and then, that was that! Your father, the Vampire King, grew angry. He was impatient with her vanity; offended by her bloodlust, her gluttony. He grew so tired that he killed her while she slept, impaling her on a sword, and that was it for her. Except she haunts the place now with phantoms and demons... But you don't care about that, do you? But I bet I know what really gets to you, dunpeal. What REALLY gets to you - the thought of those two lovebirds having another dunpeal, huh? That's it. You see, I know you. I know how you think, I know how you feel, I know every move you make. You can't...

      [D clenches his fist to shut Left Hand up]

    • Carmila: That's it. That is the ship. It will take you to the City of the Night, where you can live peacefully at last. You can be happy there. There was a time, many years ago, when every castle had a ship like this one and the night sky was full of their flashing lights. Those were the days when vampires flourished, and a love like yours was not so desperately impossible. So different from today... Our numbers dwindling, hunted and alone, we're hopelessly misunderstood - but you two seem to have beaten the odds. I'm very, very happy for you. The ship hasn't been used in years, I've no idea if it will fly safely. But I'm sure that's a risk you're prepared to take.

    • Meier Link: You look so beautiful.

      [kisses her, then as his bloodlust rises he draws back]

      Charlotte: Why stop? I want you, Meier, I want ALL of you... Why not?

      Meier Link: You don't know what it's like, Charlotte, to live forever in darkness eternal, forever thirsting for blood despite your best intention. I can't imagine that life for you. Not for you, Charlotte.

      Charlotte: You're so selfish, Meier. I carry a heavy weight on my conscience. Those villagers and the bounty hunter and my family - they still mourn my loss, Meier.

      Meier Link: It wasn't your doing, Charlotte. It was my fault entirely.

      Charlotte: Well, then, we're both to blame. Because we can't know happiness, not anymore. I wanted you to be happy, Meier, and so I abandoned my father and my brother for you. But their pain set the wheels in motion for our pain, and so on and on it goes... All we have is each other now, and I want to be close to you. Without that we have nothing. All the pain I've caused and all the agony I feel is nothing, now! And you are everything to me, my love!

      [pause]

      Meier Link: We'll talk more on our trip to the stars, if that's all right with you.
