this japanese adaptation of the classic 1970s tomb of dracula american comic book series be pretty much forget today and and it easy to see why . at 89 minute and this tv movie ( with the usual fade in and out for commercial ) seem make out of several different saga cobble together and a dracula and essentially a good guy here and face different enemy ( from the usual vampire hunter to his own son turn god agent and to satanist and to satan himself and to a new king of the vampire . ) without much character development whatsoever and and through plot hole so big they could contain a whole graveyard each . plus and it have all the bad characteristic of late 70 film and cartoon and include the obligatory disco soundtrack . the animation be far from the great anime film and with fine background but terribly draw character that seem to come out of a saturday morning cartoon of the era ( despite the occasional brief nudity ) . not that it have not it interesting point and like a vulnerable dracula become human again and try to recover his vampiric condition and but everything be so underdeveloped that it ultimately worthless . also and i could have do without those shiny fang and and without that son of drac right out of thunderbird . and and ala and despite it be base on tomb of dracula and no blade here and just the usual descendant of van helsing and harker and and dracula himself ( and it obvious from the beginning which one of the vampire hunter will eventually bite the dust ) . it could have be a good tv series and but and in it absurd condensation and ( sorry for this old awful pun ) this dracula suck . negative .
