Dhampir 2000 (Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust | Single Serving)

Today, we're joined by phantom of the night Hobo (@Hobotron2000 on Twitter) for a hair-raising look into the 2000 film Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust! Based on a long-running novel series, Bloodlust adapts the third adventure of the mysterious dhampir D and does a good job at setting a spooky, unsettling tone throughout its runtime! It's got strong action scenes and surprisingly good character development for such a sparse script, and the two of us were more than happy to dig deeper into this seemingly forgotten cult classic from a different era of anime! So join us as we carefully navigate through the haunting tale of Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, here on Cocoa☆Disaster!
