So I just recently saw Bloodlust, very corny I know. I really enjoyed it, but I am curious if any more movies are going to be made? I only know of 2, and I know there is a bunch of novels...but I would love to see more D!! In movie format that is..does anyone know or can tell me where I can look?
Taken from Wikipedia:
"Some material is paraphrased from the notes included in the original Vampire Hunter D laser disk, fan-subtitled by the Dayton Anime Club.
Tale of the Dead Town postscript
Kikuchi has also revealed that "a Hollywood debut and American comic version are progressing nicely." This is found in the postscript of the English translation of the fourth novel.
Mysterious Journey to the North Sea part 1 postscript
The author has expressed an interest in turning the book (North Sea parts 1 & 2) into the next animated D film. Mentioning it 'a candidate' while also claiming a possible remake of the original novel."
I gotta say though that it took 15 years for a sequel to be chosen, made and released, so I wouldn't hold your breath... in the mean time though check out the books by Hideyuki Kikuchi, or the manga book series that comes out a bit later this year.
Mr. Kawajiri and the Madhouse crew are definitely up for doing another VHD anime. The problem is getting someone to fund it. Mr. Kikuchi remarked recently that he hopes that if the live-action D gets rolling, it would help get someone in Japan interested in bankrolling another VHD anime.
But there are tons more books coming in the next two years, plus the comics. Hang in there, keep showing the colors, and I have faith that good things will come.
While we're waiting for the possibility of it...The books are amazing. I hope they get on to doing another D movie! Raiser of Gales was an awesome book if anyone checked that out.
