Interpretation In Pursuance Of Books Vampire Hunter D (Vampire Hunter D #1)

12,090 A.D. It is a dark time for the world. Humanity is just crawling out from under three hundred years of domination by the race of vampires known as the Nobility. The war against the vampires has taken its toll; cities lie in ruin, the countryside is fragmented into small villages and fiefdoms that still struggle against nightly raids by the fallen vampires - and the remnants of their genetically manufactured demons and werewolves. Every village wants a Hunter - one of the warriors who have pledged their laser guns and their swords to the eradication of the Nobility. But some Hunters are better than others, and some bring their own kind of danger with them. From creator Hideyuki Kikuchi, one of Japan's leading horror authors with illustrations by renowned Japanese artist, Yoshitaka Amano, best known for his illustrations in Neil Gaiman's Sandman: The Dream Hunters and the Final Fantasy games.

Evaluation Regarding Books Vampire Hunter D (Vampire Hunter D #1)

I've never been so pleasantly surprised by a book, and it's been long since I've been not able to put down a book.First of all, for those worried that the translation from Japanese to English would diminish the literary quality of the book, let me just say that the English version is outstanding, with colorful use of voice, and expert use of literary technique. It really is a pleasure to read.Speaking as a fan of vampire novels, and a fervent fan of Dracula, this book delights on SO many levels,

One of my favorite anime concepts; gothic fantasy horror meets post apocalypse distant future science fiction. Enjoyed the book but loved the two English-forged movies made from the concepts.

Ive watched the anime film of Vampire Hunter D, and was intrigued to see what the books like. As January is vampire month for the Paranormal Challenge, I thought this seemed like a good time to give it a try.I wasnt quite sure what to make of the book at first because its written in a very odd style. I suppose this could be down to the translation, but to me it felt like a deliberate choice. It seemed to be going for a kind of pulp style, which suits the weird setting and atmosphere, but it

This was a unique story. I've never seen the anime movie so this was completely new to me. The futuristic, post-apocalyptic vampire storyline was cool. However I felt the dialogue and some passages of the book read kinda funny, but I'm thinking that's a translation issue. Overall a decent story.

It is 12,090 A.D. The world has ended, ravaged in a firestorm of mans wars and madness. But from the wreckage a few humans manage to survive, and a race of forgotten creatures rose up from the ashes. The vampires and their legions of bloodthirsty demons. Doris Lang, orphaned daughter of a werewolf hunter, hires the dhampir Vampire Hunter D to take care of the vampire that has marked her to become one with the undead: Count Magnus Lee. But the vampiric ruler of that Frontier sector is only one of

Excellent book. Excellent translation.I'm confused. Why is it that other reviewers think that 'something is lost in translation'? As a translator, I would consider that one of the biggest insults there is.People, PROFESSIONAL tranlators are chosen for these jobs. They are persons who have worked for many, many, many years in the original language (Japanese in this case). Unless your Japanese is better than theirs', or you comprehend Japanese on par with them, how can you EVEN CONSIDER making

This novel is an exercise in extra-ness, even for someone who considers herself to be a pulp horror/fantasy veteran. Sure, vampire hunters are cool, but how about laser cannons, symbiotic haunted limbs, and some swoony teen romance thrown in for good measure? The first entry into the VHD saga moves at a startling pace, lobbing so many details at the reader that one is faced with the decision to be frustrated or charmed by its audacity. I found myself coming down on the side of "charmed."Covered
