first of all and i would like to tell you that i be into comic and anime and animation and such stuff . it be true that everyone have his own preference and but you can trust me on this movie . i will be objective . to begin with the story it ok. follow the story line of the comic book as far a i be familiar with them . but the animation . well and it not actually terrible and but it definitely cheap and mediocre . it would be a lot good if they do not try to imitate the anime style and stick to the original comic book style drawing . if we pretend not to see the rare sloppy effect like fire and lightning you could tell that the movie be make about 10 year ago and even more . look a little bit like the original vampire hunter d from 1985. take a look at heavy metal fakk 2000 for instance 4 year ago they make a movie that look a hell lot well . in addition to this the voice talent do nothing remarkable and the music be nothing special . so all in all it lack atmosphere . i watch it and but i can not tell i really enjoy it . it just do not capture you . there plenty of blood and violence and but that do not impress me at all . may be it will be shock for someone who be never watch more mature orient animation and see animate blood for the first time ( be there anyone around . ) and but i do not think this be the audience for this movie . so they could add a little nudity and spice to it . the chick around lucifer be quite tasty and and hell and we have lady death herself . there be few sexy look and but that not enough . instead of bill brown music i think it would look good on a hard rock or heavy metal soundtrack . all in all the movie isn not that bad and but if you want something well take the original heavy metal and heavy metal fakk 2000 and ralph bakshi fire and ice or wizard maybe . and of course vampire hunter d represent bloodlust .
