Back in the day Japan loves charging hundreds of dollars for DVD and VHS releases. It wasn't uncommon to pay almost $100 for a single DVD or VHS tape with just 1 or 2 episodes. Japanese fans hated this and started importing releases from America and Europe to save money.

Japanese companies started losing money. So they lower video quality for foreign DVD releases. But keep the highest quality for Japanese only release. Then advertise that Japan has the highest quality video releases to force fans to buy the local Japanese release.

Yes. It's a very shady and messed up thing to do. But the Japanese do it all the time. They love price gouging anime fans. It still happens today with Bluray disc releases.

The novels are really good too anon. I recommend those. As for other anime like this id suggest Ninja Scroll the 90's anime movie. The 1 season anime series they made was like a fun 7/10. Saying that I saw it when I was like 14 so I don't know if I'd still retain the same opinion if I watched it now. The movie is absolutely timeless though, that and Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust are the best anime movies in my opinion. There is an original Vampire Hunter D anime movie made in 1985 which is good also but Bloodlust is the best.

I think its incredible just how much animation quality improved between these two movies.

Vampire Hunter D (2000) is beautiful, every shot is rendered in a level of detail of a movie poster, its one of the most beautiful animated movies ever made before or since nothing is on this level,

Vampire Hunter D (1985) looks like a Saturday morning children's cartoon, standard anime slop.

Shame we never got Vampire Hunter D (2015) but hopefully we get a Vampire Hunter D (2030).

Best bet is to look for anything that was released by MANGA! video in the 80s and 90s.
>Devilman OVA (not crybaby bs or 70s)
>Black Lion
>Ninja Scroll (as other commenters mentioned)
>Akira (not my favorite but a classic)
>Ghost in the Shell (movie, not the series)
>Perfect Blue
>Street Fighter II: The Animated Series
>Blood: The Last Vampire
None of these hit EXACTLY the same as VHD:BL, but they're in a similar vein- cutting edge anime with a vision before it became static formulaic tripe in the late 2000s. Also give the original Vampire Hunter D a watch.

Normies will prefer Bloodlust because the animation is cleaner and it has a more dynamic story. Original is a pure classic, simple and not ashamed of it. Hand drawn animation beautifully rendered on a shoe-string budget. Damsel in distress, castle full of evil monsters, vampire overlord, a princess, mutants. It's one of my all time favorites. Bloodlust is good too, but not a true classic like the original.

The lore in Vampire Hunter D is fucking silly, its set in the year 12,000 and vampires have ruled the earth for the last 10,000 years, and during their dominion they bioengineered mythological monsters and nightmare creatures and released them into the wild just for yucks, and built everything in a gaudy gothic style with flying buttresses and gables because that's just what Vampires are into apparently. Like being a goth just comes with the territory once you're bitten. Also at some point the Vampires got into a space war and build their death castles to be giant space ships apparently and most of them fucked off at some point, presumably into space and now humans are just starting to reclaim the earth. You kinda just have to go along with it when you're watching the movie, the title crawl is really short on details, but that's what I understand about the lore from having watched both movies once.

Yeah I don't think Ninja Scroll holds up anywhere near as well. It was big during that post-Akira "Wow anime isn't just speed racer and sailor moon anymore, it can be dark, gritty, and for adults" era. Watching it today, however; it feels childish in a way Bloodlust or Akira don't. Like it gives off the impression of someone exploring the freedom of not having their parents around and they just throw in as much sex and violence as possible because they can, but they're not mature enough to use them in an effective way yet. Its fun if you're in the mood for something for like that but it feels like a 13 year old's favorite movie. Like a pulp fiction or a fight club.

Fun fact, Ninja Scroll and the Devilman OVA were my favorite animes when I was 13. Also Hamtaro and Sailor Moon.

Its got the same artist, Yoshitaka Amano, and he's got a pretty distinct style.

That's kinda part of it though in that for its time it was different and it had unique characters with unique powers/abilities and character designs. It also took place in a time period similar to Feudal Japan with a story reflective of that. Maybe a 13 year old by today's standards but it originally came out in 1993, Pulp Fiction was 1994 and Fight Club was 1999. The movies you're talking about came out in some cases over 30 years ago at a time when media wasn't as easily accessible or abundant. Your critique shows a disconnect from the world those movies came from which no longer exists, I mean there was a point in time you could rent any of those movies in just about every city from a video store.

I always got away with it- of course the hentai back then was no where near as depraved as the shit from the last couple decades. Still, probably didn't do myself any favors towards becoming a well adjusted adult.

Are OVAs still a thing? I'd prefer if we got more of them over full series. Higher quality animation but fewer eps and more akin to short films.

hard disagree. NS knew exactly what it set out to be and it succeeded: proof that anime could be mature. tis violence feels purposeful rather than gratuitous, unlike much of the later gore driven grotesque animeschlock that followed.

Do you really find that silly? I don't know any media in the 80s with a take even remotely close to that. I think at the very least is quite original. Personally, I find it cool as fuck.
Also to anyone fan of the franchise here, get your kokoros ready because both Kikuchi and Amano are in their 70s. It'll be over soon.

You say that like there's something wrong with it. If we were a culture worthy of surviving ten millennia we would have kino architecture like high gothic too.
But also, at least in the movie, none of that shit really matters or is brought up. It affects how the story is written but you don't get some forced exposition treatise to tell you about this weird world building so it just becomes mysterious and unearthly. The world clearly exists beyond the story being told and is grounded enough to believe but still feylike in its ultimate delivery. It works for me at least, especially paired with that gorgeous animation.

I have a multiple billion dollar media franchise story/universe that would become the most popular thing ever made. I would probably start with a small animated series/film to begin with.

If I had unlimited budget I’d hire all of the old animation masters to work on it along with sequential/coinciding releases of video games, ARGS and books.

It would basically be planned to tap into what makes humans hope and dream while also representing every nation/race/religion and fandom on the planet; while offering merchandising and third party goods and services from toys to fuckin cookbooks.

It might not be as profound as some of the greatest works of art but the sentiment behind it and the unifying aspect and size of the fandom would make it transcendent. It would be like dbz for Latin Americas, capeshit for Indians, stalker for Slavs and nba for blacks all roled into one.
