I just watched "Vampire Hunter D" for the first time. It rules, I can also see its influence in a lot of other anime, scifi, and other cool nerd shit. It's really a shame I have never sat down and watched it until now. It fuckin' rips!.
I need more animated films of that era that aren't made for the selling of toys. Doesn't have to be anime but really any sort of sleeper/underrated animated films from the 80s and 90s. I need more animated cinema.
Ninja Scroll and Fist of The North Star are some of my fundamental pillars of brain's understanding of anime.
I'll put this one on my watch list, looks old-school in all the right ways. Never heard of it, so eager to see what's going on.
