Count Magnus Lee, giant and vampire, rules one such town. In the distant, dark future, monsters have taken over the land, forcing humanity to live in confined communities like medieval times. Voice work is atrocious in English, passable in Japanese.(“Prepare yourself for death” – a henchman.) Several moments of cringe worthy dialogue.Other than D and the villain, the character design is rather hilarious.Age is noticeable with tinny Foley audio and cheap art techniques.Related: Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust (alternative sequel)
