Wicked City
Why this pick
Its neon-noir demon fantasy delivers the same mature anime intensity: elegant monsters, sensual horror imagery, and a cool, isolated protagonist facing impossible threats.

Castlevania
Why this pick
A richly atmospheric vampire epic with brutal action, tragic monsters, and a grave, romantic gothic mood that should suit Bloodlust’s dark elegance.

Vampire Hunter D
Why this pick

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Charlotte, a young woman, is abducted by Baron Meier Link, a vampire nobleman who is known not to harm humans needlessly. Charlotte's father, Elbourne, hires D, a dhampir, to find her and rescue her, and alternatively, kill her humanely if she's been turned into a vampire. He offers D $500,000 as a down payment, and offers him $10,000,000 if he carries out the job. D has Elbourne double the payment, and agrees to search for Charlotte.
