    The Epitome of animes. It's by far on the top of my list. The first one has always been one of my favorites, and I found this to be even more incredible than the first movie.

    I am a big fan of the first VHD movie. However, it didn't make much sense. This one, however, appealed to everyone I know, even the "Anti-Anime" people around here.

    A new classic. It's more of an experience than a movie. The characters are well designed with rich animation to bring them and their enviornments to life. The additions of an intriguing story line and exciting action sequences easily make this my personal favorite. This is the sort of movie that can really bring anime main stream.

    Simply amazing. The First VHD was excellent despite of its story line was hard to follow the first time through. But Bloodlust has a great and easy to follow story, not to mention the wonderfully drawn characters.

    This is a great Halloween film. It evoked fond memories of the old Universal horror films, as if they had been updated to the 21st century. Good characters and monsters in a creepy setting. D is a perfect anti-hero.

    The art was beautiful, the story was well written, and the characters were very enjoyable to watch. A must for fans and non fans. One of my favorite movies.

    This movie should be in the dictionary as a description for the word "BEST" because it is absolutely mindblowingly undescribably the best movie EVER made. Cult status easily achieved. Simply brilliant.

    Visually terrific, very weak story - who cares if the weepy, whiny girl becomes a vampire or not? And what in the world did Meier see in her anyway?

    It's a must-see for horror buffs and anime fans; and while it lacks the haunting thematic underpinnings of "Blood The Last Vampire," -- it's a more satisfying movie-going experience.

    Handsome, well-executed film that nonetheless feels a bit long at 111 minutes. Those who are already anime fans will certainly find it stimulating; but this may not be the one to convert the uninitiated.

    A genre pastiche that's fun to watch, although it's also frustrating.
