But the quiet and stoic D agrees to help Doris for virtually nothing in return, acting as her body-guard and single-handedly storming the Noble's castle.It's a fascinating world that "Vampire Hunter D" is set in, although it suffers for a confusing mix of elements. This hunter happens to be "D," a "dhampir" (human and vampire half-breed) with a dark history. Fearing the effects and the Noble's intentions for her, she seeks the help of a wandering stranger that she recognizes as a skilled hunter that specializes in vampires. A young woman and hunter named Doris is attacked at night by a vampire, respected and feared as a Noble of the countryside. The first, simply called "Vampire Hunter D," was released in 1985.Even without reading the novels, the film's plot is relatively straight-forward, said to be based on the first novel. Strangely, the series never got a proper television anime adaptation (although one is reportedly in production), instead settling for two separate feature films. Aside from "Final Fantasy," D's black cape and wide-brimmed hat might be one of Amano's most famous designs. It's an iconic character and mythology, made manifest to our eyes thanks to the cover art by Yoshitaka Amano, the same celebrated concept artist for most of the early "Final Fantasy" games. "Vampire Hunter D" is one of those REALLY long-running franchises in Japan, consisting mainly as a series of novels from 1983 to the present day (2019).
