I have seen this new Vampire Hunter D movie; I remember the first one from the late 80s, too. Both are keepers, and still rather unique within the genre. Uniqueness is hard to come by in anime as in so many other media forms.

I've also got on DVD the original and new versions of Appleseed, one of Shirow Masamune's first works. I also have the manga when it first hit the US shores in the late 80s, as well as Akira, Grey, and many others. Never thought anime/manga would have become as big as it has.

I fondly remember dragging some buddies to see Akira in 1987 when it hit the theatres in San Diego -- blew 'em away! $:-)

How does it compare to Hellsing, a fav of mine.

In the definitely-not-for-kids realm there something 'Nyu' and mind-blowing...
