Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

Was curious on if anything would be done on Vampire Hunter D and looks like we could have a crapfest that makes 2016 Berserk look like art

quote:

In June 2015, a new CGI animated series tentatively titled Vampire Hunter D: Resurrection was announced, produced by Unified Pictures and Digital Frontier.[8] The series would be produced by Kurt Rauer and Scott McLean, and directed by Yoichi Mori, with Bloodlust director Yoshiaki Kawajiri acting as supervising director and series creator Hideyuki Kikuchi providing editorial supervision. The series was currently in pre-production, and is developed as an hour-long serial drama with the intent of being broadcast on a major American cable network or on-demand provider, with Japanese distribution to follow.[9] As of June 2016 the series is still in pre-production, with plans to begin shipping the project to distributors by the end of the year.[10] Given the abundance of source material, the current plan is to produce as many as seven seasons, without revisiting the source material that was adapted into the first two films.[11] In February 2018 it was announced that the pilot episode would be written by Brandon M. Easton, writer for the Message from Mars comic book series.[5] The first draft of the pilot was completed in October 2018.[12] Pre-production on the series was put on hold in early 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.[13]

i will never understand how YKK didn’t get an official english release until now, especially when so much dreck got put out in the manga boom ~15 years ago. lack of a readily-identifiable genre? license fee too high? who knows! it’s so drat good tho so i’m absolutely preordering it all!
the concurrent scanlation was enough to suffice until it wasn't and a notable editor for an english-language manga imprint famously said he didn't like the series

Does anyone else feel like there's been a general uptick in "wholesome people being cute together" series in the last few years? I mean I'm not complaining I just never noticed it before.

There definitely has been, especially if you stretch the definition of "wholesome." Like, Spy x Family is wholesome imo, but there sure is a lot of murder and high stakes

We discussed it several pages again when I brought up VHD, but, even though VHD is allegedly more popular in the US than in Japan, I’m still surprised it and Berserk are apparently consigned to only having one good adaptation each, and few adaptations overall. Especially with how much trash gets a million episodes.

They also share the distinction that their best videogame “adaptations” are both made by Fromsoft (Elden Ring even has a character named D who hunts the undead).

What's also bizarre is Bloodlust has a Japanese dub made after the initial English one with a script that has some key differences, and arguably better ones, but can't be officially released outside of the country due to some licensing poo poo

I'd love to see more D adaptations, it's not like they don't have a ton of material to work from with an entire god drat novel series in tow

Netflix added a show today called Vampire in the Garden and it seems to be about the anime USSR fighting vampires, but also, banning all music and “culture” because vampires might hear it…?

also they live in a frostpunk setting

and like

yeah vampires are a metaphor for the nobility and landed gentry

but then it turns out the vampires are like the czars????
