Anime/Manga Notes

Watched Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust (2001) yesterday, and was really, pleseantly surprised. The animation and artistry were well crafted, rich and fleshed out. Story, fairly standard, decent pacing. I laughed at vampire zombies that in one scene at a deserted village. (It wasn't meant to funny, and I doubt someone else would either.) I hadn't watched any of the series before, I was actually expecting an anime series because of Blockbuster's (1 of 1 Disk) note. It was a nice change to watch a well-done anime that does a throwback to the classic anime style.

I'm sad that OneManga, a manga site's shutting down. It had a great collaboration of so many different mangas to explore many different stories and art styles. I feel like it's stupid to mention something that's good but gone, like telling my friends about great restaurants that are closed, but it's a way to say goodbye to something good that I spent many an hour on. Let me know if you've got recs for another site!
