If, like the rest of us, you’ve been on a vampire media kick since Sinners, I’ve got good news for you! AMC Networks has announced that the cult classic anime movie, Vampire Hunter D, will be premiering on both HIDIVE and Shudder on May 30. The movie previously had a theater run across 600 theaters in the US and Canada back in April to celebrate the 40th anniversary.
In the year 12,090 A.D. technology and the supernatural have overtaken the world, leaving the land desolate and despotic. The remnants of humanity are scattered into small communities and live in fear of vampires who compose the ruling Nobility. When Count Magnus Lee tastes the blood of Doris Lang, she is forcibly chosen to be his next wife. In an effort to escape her ill-gotten fate she hires a mysterious vampire hunter known only as D, who comes from a peculiar lineage.
Official Synopsis
Vampire Hunter D is an OVA adaptation of the novel by Hideyuki Kikuchi. HIDIVE and Shudder will stream the digitally remastered version produced by Sentai Filmworks in 2015. It will be available on demand in both Japanese with English subtitles and English dub.
