![]() I appreciate that it follows the original Japanese a little closer, e.g. "Follow these mandates or you can't release this film." ![]() It's a whole lotta bowlsheet but Sentai had no choice, I suppose. someone from Japan buying the US Blu-ray, since a Blu-ray has yet to be released there and when one is, it will be sold at a much higher price (we're looking at around $60). The former because they thought it sounded old and janky (I'm doubting they speak English well so how would they know), and the latter to deter reverse-importation, i.e. Sadly, both decisions (excluding Streamline dub and forcing subs) were mandated by the Japanese licenser. Also, the English subtitles are not removable when viewing with the Japanese audio. The Streamline dub should have been included for the sake of nostalgia. The movie and the extras only take up about 17GB. It does look good, but I feel like it could have been better. I'm a little disappointed with this disc. I mention this only because the friend I watched it with was surprised that it wasn't in widescreen. One more note: The aspect ratio is 4:3, which is the original aspect ratio for this direct to video feature (although it was shown in theaters, it was primarily made for video). However, the initial 1985 anime has its own charms. 2000's VHD: Bloodlust would realize D's world with much more sophisticated animation. A noticed a lot of animation shortcuts this time - the animation in the OVA is a cut above 1980s TV quality but shy of theatrical feature quality. I found that the OVA still holds up pretty well despite being 30 years old. You can't switch between the English dub and the original Japanese on the fly - English subs are mandatory when viewing in Japanese (this is most likely contractual due to concerns about reverse importation). You can tell this was a new HD scan from a film source. ![]() The OVA looks very good despite the title only taking up less than 17 GB on a BD-25 (it's a bare bones disc, which helps in that regard). The main roles of Doris, D and the Count are all fine. Dan (Doris's little brother) sounds like a girl trying to do a Southern accent. They gave some characters accents (i.e, Southern for Dan, and English for the Count's daughter). The dub is mostly fine, and it's more faithful to the original script - the old Streamline dub added quite a bit of dialogue where there was none in the original. I don't get to have a life, not like you.I just watched the Blu-ray from Sentai with the new English dub. And anyway, I don't really understand why you should keep on doing this.ĭ: Because I'm a dunpeal. Leila: Stop, I didn't really mean it when I said that. I'll bring you flowers if I survive this. Oh well, I'm being silly, doesn't really matter.ĭ: I'll do it. We have that much in common, don't we? That we're both hunters and we're both alone. And I don't think I'll be getting any, I'm all alone after all. I don't know why I should care about that - it's just I love flowers. So I suggest we make a pact, since we're both in it for the long haul: whoever dies first, the other one can come and bring flowers to their grave. And it looks like it's the only life you've ever known. Leila: It's the only life I'm any good for now. But the life of a hunter is no kind of life. everytime, it seems avampire is to blame.ĭ: I can understand why you'd choose to do it. I've seen many terrible things since then: lives destroyed, families devastated, hopes crushed. I wanted to be a hunter to avenge my parents' deaths. I met the Marcus brothers and joined with them. The people in the village stoned her to death while I watched. And after a while my mother returned, but she wasn't my mother anymore she'd been changed. My father went after her and was trying to rescue her, so they killed him. You really are a weird one, you know that? In spite of being a dunpeal hunter and all that that entails. Leila: You don't know what you're talking about. As soon as the rain lets up, I'll be gone from here and from you.ĭ: I think I can guess your problem. If there was any other place to go, believe me, I'd be there.
