" my ex-girlfriend made me watch both movis here's my view:

VHD-Animation's passable for the time period, storyline is a bit odd but works very well, characters are likeable, fan service ruins it

VHD:BL-Animation's excellent, storyline is cracked out (still can't figure out a lot of things in the movie), characters are bland, no fan service.

overall:
VHD is better as far as over all worth goes, VHD:BL has far better animation standards though. I like both equally, but since you need a real answer I'll say I like the first one better. (animation is the only thing BL had over the first if you ask me)

Allow me to break it down...

SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!

-the guy hooked up to IV's in the hunter's tank... is he dying because he uses his ghost power, like it's slowly draining the life out of him? or is he perfectly fine and he makes himself sick to use the power?

-Does the girl die? (can't this of her name, Meier Link's human girlfriend dealy) or does she become a vampire....

-If being bitten by a vampire makes you a vampire, why isn't Doris from the first movie one? That seemed to be a big issue in both movies yet never explained why she isn't one!!!

-What the hell is up with the rocket ship?!?! Vampires just go on little jonts up to the moon?!?! do they have air?! What the hell is up with that?!?!

END SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!

so the storyline itself didn't confuse me, just the little knick-knacks in between did.

"Well, the guy with the IV hooked to him, you got me on that one. I just assumed that using his powers did make him weaker because I guess you can say that it's his soul and it leaves his body and when D slashed it he died because D killed his soul. That's what I got from it."

"Meier's human girlfriend didn't die and didn't turn into a vamp because Meier didn't bite her. Doris didn't turn into a vamp either because D said (in the first movie, when they were talking to the mayor) that if you kill the vampire that gave her the bite she would be OK. That's what happend to Meier's girl. That vampire chic at the end bit her in some kind of trick to make her think it was Meier and she also tricked Meier into thinking that she was with D and he struck him down, but it was really her."

"Well, about the rocket. This is in the planet Earth's future, right? As far as we know, by then there could be space communities and stuff. Last I checked, vampires don't breathe because they're dead already, but as far as Meier's girl goes I'm not sure."

I'm not sure on him there's evidence for both. He has to enject himself with something to activate the power (meaning he might need to make himself sick), but when he stops using it he had to but on life support (meaning the powers could be killing him slowly... could be both maybe?)... D's slash also didn't kill him, he came back later in the movie to kill the big guy to save that lady hunter (I'm bad with names ^_^')

You're right about Doris, I forgot that part ^_^' but as far as Meier's girl goes she wasn't "bit" by Camillea, Camillea used an illusion on all the "heros" but she was still just a spirit at the time, so she techincally didn't bite her... but you're probably right about her being fine (Meier seemed unmoved by her 'death' and still took her to the stars... he would probably have killed himself if she had died, as evidenced by his walking through the sun-light to try and save her)

I think even though vampires don't breathe they'd still burn up in the empty sun bathed enviroment that is the moon... I *think* they have space stations, but I'm not sure... still the rocket seemed really really random

Then I have no idea what happens with the IV guy then. I had forgot that he died later saving the girl. I'll have to go back and check that out later. I don't think Meier's girl got bit, and she didn't die. D meant she's "dead" to everyone else now because he didn't have to bring her back alive, just proof of her being dead or something like thatso he took the ring. D gets 2 Million, and Meier and the girl go to the stars and lives happily, the other girl quit being a hunter and lived a normal life and D kept his promise to her and everyone wins.

I'm going to vampirehunterdbloodlust.com to see if I can get some kind of a backstory on the IV guy.

My roomate and myself are arguing about Vampire Hunter D. I just bought BOTH movies on DVD Saturday, and he says that the first movie is better and I say the second movie was better.

which, in your opinion, do you think is better and why?

" I like the second one a tad bit more. Its not just the eye candy either. D is just too cool in this movie, and I like the way things turned out in the end, very cool.
