The novel was first published in 1982. The author honored the "vampire Dracula" and created a half-human, half-vampire protagonist, the vampire hunter "D", based on his own ideal of a vampire. Since its publication, the novel has captured the hearts of many young readers and has become a hot bestseller! The world depicted in the story is set in the very distant future, where beautiful, gorgeous heroes fight to the death against vampire rivals in intense and exciting scenes! The movie version is co-produced by Japan and the U.S.*** Yoshiaki Kawajiri, who wrote & supervised the script & sub-scripts, and whose works have been screened overseas many times and have won high acclaim, making them even more influential than in Japan. The understanding of the art and detailing of this work is exemplary, and the vampire character in particular is very attractive. In addition, the famous American animation studio "MADHOUSE" was invited to join the project, so that the digital effects of this animated movie can be guaranteed.
The illustrations for Vampire Hunter D are by the famous Japanese illustrator Yoshitaka Amano. Born in 1952 in Shizuoka City, Amano Kikyo was 15 years old when he first started working as an illustrator. When he was only 15 years old, he joined the Tatsunoko production company to work on animation characterization. This experience at Tatsunoko helped him to establish a high degree of popularity in the Japanese animation industry. Amano's career in the illustration art world began in 1981 when he took over the illustration of a novel published in the science fiction themed magazine "SF Magazine". Amano set up his own company, Ten, and in 1983 he was honored with the 14th Nebula Award, which is given by the Japan Science Fiction Society. This award is given annually by the Science Fiction Society of Japan to those who are recognized for their outstanding performance or contribution to the field of science fiction, and Yoshitaka Amano was the recipient of the Nebula Award for four consecutive years, from 1983 to 1986.
He was responsible for the characterizations and promotional images for the Final Fantasy series, which was a hit in the video game world, with the exception of the 7th, 8th, and 10th generations. Another RPG-style strategy game, Thunder Quest, also features original character designs by Amano. In comparison to the FF series, the characterization used in the game's graphics is very faithful to Amano's original design, and the entire game is very much in line with Amano's style.
Amano Kikyo representative drawing collection has "Magic Sky", "Palace of Illusions", "Arslan Warfare Illustration Collection", "Final Fantasy I-IV original drawings collection", etc., "Vampire Hunter D Novel Illustration Anthology" is also among the best.
One sentence review:
When the Sun Sets... The Hunt Begins
Although the movie is quite heavy and grim, and the content is depicting the loneliness of life, on one level the theme is actually quite positive and upbeat. Like the lyrics of the movie's theme song, "In spite of the darkness and loneliness, don't give up hope and look for the slightest glimmer of light, and take a big step into the future." This idea naturally permeates everyone's mind, and that's how D holds on to his beliefs. That's why the popularity of this theme song by Ryo Dadu is well deserved.
The lonely castle, the sound of an organ if nothing else, the black-robed aristocrat, and the thirst for blood have become the classic image of the vampire in people's minds. Since the release and success of the 1932 film Dracula the Vampire, a variety of vampire-themed films have been produced over the past 80 years, and in 2001, the Japanese animation industry launched three vampire-themed animations at once: Hellsing, Blood-The last vampire, and this vampire hunter D -Desire to Kill. Among these three works, the one that got the highest evaluation is this "Vampire Hunter D - Desire to Kill".
This work is adapted from Kikuchi Shuyuki's 1983 novel of the same name, which was highly acclaimed by readers upon its release. Against this backdrop, Kikuchi Shuyuki released a series of novels related to Vampire Hunter D, and in 2002 **** released 22 volumes (including the gaiden), making it a high seller with 10 million readers supporting it.
