Violent and bloody (but not nearly as gory as you'd expect) in the mode of samurai adventure, Vampire D is truly a classic. If you're a true Anime fan, are used to old school type stuff and has somehow never seen this for whatever reason you owe yourselfto get back to the roots and check out the classics.

Decently animated with some good moments but it's just too strange and dull to work. Pretty bad english language dialogue.
