Beautiful.......2007-07-09

I bought this book for my boyfriend, who is a huge fan of the series. I cannot speak from my own experience with it, but from his near fainting reaction upon receiving it, I would say it is definitely worth the money. From what he has said, the artwork is incredible. I would recommend it for any fan of the series or the art.

Awesome book........2007-04-20

The art in this book is detailed, beautiful, and breathtaking... I was blown away by even the pictues which were only sketches.

I recommend it highly to fans of Vampire Hunter D... as well as anyone who is an art fanatic or art book collector... or even just someone who loves Vampiric things in general.

Gorgeous book!.......2007-03-02

This book is HUGE, which it should be to show off the fantastic artwork. Loved it! All Vampire Hunter D fans should get it, just don't expect it to fit in your book shelf.. lol! Pay close attention to the dimensions in the item description. It also comes in a slip case to protect the book.

To die for.......2007-02-14

The kind of book one wants to open and roll himself or herself all over the pages. Huge size, excellent paper, amazing printing quality, and I can go on practically forever. Much better than the Japanese edition which is small and most pictures are not even full size, but cropped. (Yes, I am crazy enough to own both editions!) Amano is a genius. His lines and forms are flowing, his colours mesmerizing. Invest in what will hold you spellbound for hours.

awesome D.......2007-01-10

love the art book. a must have for D fans and Amano fans.

Book Description

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.

So long awaited, it has 5 stars no matter what........2007-09-22

My only problem with this book is that the translation seems rushed. In Movie to book, you have the image of a hack writer watching the DVD copy and just going along with the action. There's a parody of "Movie to Novel" of the Lord of the Ring movies that does this and makes Tolkien fans shriek like they are Lovecraft characters seeing Great Cthulhu.

Well, foreign translations, especially great culturally different ones, risk the "All your base are now belonging to us" speech. And I note a little of this, not so much as in the dialogged but in the descriptions of the characters and their motivations. There is a bit too much on how this character, despite being a weird "Post Apocalypse" mutant/vampire/whatever is "Special" in some way...

So, you've got to be a bit forgiving here. For all I know the translation author had no time and a super strict contract protecting the contents. And, if you read such a fiction as "Vampire Hunter D" you need to turn up your "Suspension of Disbelief" to the level of a child or a fursuit lifestyler.

But, do not let this scare you away. I got the novel eagerly and loved it. Vampire hunter D is an experiment in style as much as any 'fantastic' story. I'm sure, if it was translated perfectly, it would be up there with some of Clark Ashton Smith's best works.

I really, REALLY wish Dark Horse would re-write this. I don't really have a problem with who they used, except that this story deserves the ultimate hack; Harlan Ellison. Serious. He's worked for/with Dark Horse before. Just lock him in a room with endless coffee, the movies, the "All your base" literal translation and the english hack's attempt, and the promise of a few quick thousand plus royalties if he follows the "Just make a good novel out of that story" instructions properly.

Most net users only know the "King of Cranks" Harlan Ellison who sued AOL over online trading of his works. Grow up, it's the guys who bought obscure patents and sued for blackmail purpouses, or the person who tried to patent the "Hyperlink" who threatened the net, and he had far more reason than the RIAA for the unpopular line he went down.

Anyone who's read his stories knows he'd be the best for the job. I'd suggest "Quicktime", "Repent Harlequin said the ticktock man", "Deathbird", "Friend of the Enemy" and so on. And if you need any further convincing, look up his "Chocolate Alphabet" underground comic. Yeah, he's old, but that's ok. "The Glass Teat" is another one.

He'd have a field day with this. He'd probably go "Gaaaaahhhhhh!!!! They want to KILL ME!!!!" the first few days, then get really, really drunk and churn out an incredible novel. He'd do what Adam Warren did with the Dirty Pair; Make the American Version so good, it is illegally imported into Japan because the fans like it better!

Vampires are pretty cool.......2007-07-26

Vampire Hunter D Volume 1 tells the tale of a young girl being bitten by the nobel Vampire Count Magnus Lee, a vampire at least 5,000 years old. She looks for a way to defeat this vampire before he takes her for his wife, as the Count hasn't tasted blood as sweet as hers in ages. She hires D to defend her and her young brother and destroy the Count. It is hinted that D might be the descendent of the greatest vampire of them all, Dracula.

Their have been two movies created based off the books, both animated. But the book goes much more in depth about the strength and weaknesses of the vampire. D struggles since he is a Dhampir, half vampire, half human. You get a real feel for each character and the battle scenes are well drawn out. It is a pretty easy read and great read if you enjoy the whole vampire legend.

First book of a long series and I plan to read the rest.

Perfect........2007-07-24

I loved this novel, which is funny, because I didn't like the first Vampire Hunter D movie which was based on this novel. The movie cut out a lot of the information, mostly background and character information, which would allow us to understand and enjoy what was happening.
We get a bigger picture of life, or what life is like, on the Frontier, in the Capital and in the year 12,090 A.D. First published in 1983, given birth by the author watching Horror of Dracula starring Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, it still has a lot of punch. And for a vampire lover like me, I really enjoyed the setting, the characters, the plot and even the action scenes. A must for any vampire library.
Warning, this is NOT a graphic novel or manga. This is a text novel.

It's A Great Book.......2007-07-15

When this book came out I was boucing off the walls. And I got it when it first came out and I love it! As being a fan of Vampire Hunter D I have loved all the books I have read so far.

Before I go on telling about the book. WOULD SOME OF THESE PEOPLE STOP BASHING THE TRANSLATION! My God, the translation fine as it is! There's nothing wrong with the translation and there's nothing wrong about how the book is made. Why do people go worrying about such stupid things??? The translator uses exellent grammer that I myself have to get a dictionary to understand some of these words.

The book is no where as detail as the movie. It is more detail and talks more about the world that D lives in than it does in the movie. And you finally get to learn what that thing is in D's left hand.

D meets a girl name Doris Lang, but she is different from the Doris Lang in the movie. D actually as charcter in the novles. He is not like the D in the movie he doesn't complain about himself being Vampire or that his world is utterly cover in darkness. He accpets who he is and is fine with it. He has a wicked sense of humor, his personality is that of Dracula or Alucard from Hellsing without the insaneness. And you'll find out in the thrid book that he has no problems with some human marrying a vampire.

He meets Doris and her Brother Dan. He must stop Count Lee from turning Doris into a vampire. I am not going to go much into the story, don't want to spoil it at all for the other people. There's few more charcters in this book than there was in the movie.

I first, I thought Doris was a very cool charcter, but later on she becomes weak and depends on D too much, which really annoyed me. D's left-hand is an enjoyable charcter and very funny. And you found out that D sometimes enjoys the company of his Left-Hand.

In this book and through out the other books, the main villian points out in a very sudtle way that D is the son of Dracula. By key words "You're . . . You can't be . . . It's you ... and ect. And in every Vampire Hunter D book I do not get bored when the author tells how hot D is all over again. :) I have a vivid imagation so I enjoy the details of his godly looks. :) As you read this book and other books you do get the feeling if his father isn't the one that sent his son to destory these vampires and that his father is getting tired of these Noblies.

Read the book and see for yourself. :)

Don't see the movie, read the book!!!.......2007-05-29

This book was amazing, I'd seen the two vampire hunter D movies years ago, and they were okay, a nice story, but it most seemed about the darkness and gore rather than any real vampire mythology. They didn't leave a real imprint on me, except for a crush on D. On a whim I decided to read the book recently and I was utterly shocked. The movies are nothing like the books, the books are rich in myth, story , emotion and suspence, that the movies just don't hope to touch on. D is a very gripping character simply becuse you almost cannot like him...he's so cold, detached and almost heartless....but every now and then he'll do something so kind and privotal you cannot help but to like him and wonder what exactly does this egnimatic vampire/human feel...if anything.

This book sets the scene very nicely for the rest of the series, in the movie Doris was so awfully clingy and annoying. However in the book she's MUCH more likeable, and self suffient.

Book Description

Granny Viper is a “people finder,” a searcher for lost souls along the roads of a forbidding wasteland. Her latest mission: the safe return of a young woman named Tae, kidnapped eight years ago by vampire Nobility and held in Castle Gradinia on the Frontier’s far border. But rescuing Tae is only half the battle — Viper knows she and the girl can’t cross the formidable expanse to the town of Barnabas alone. After making the fatal mistake of hiring the mercenary Bullow Brothers to help her, Granny turns to the legendary Vampire Hunter D for salvation. As they traverse the bleak desert between the Inner and Outer Frontier, the two women and D find themselves in a race for their lives. And they soon discover how cruel the desert is — and how very ruthless the Bullow Brothers are . . .

Far above the other books.......2007-09-10

I've been tearing through the D books for the past few weeks, enjoying them to varying degrees. This one breaks the mold of the previous books; there's no vampire to kill, no maiden to save, just a band of people attempting to cross a very dangerous desert.

I wouldn't call this book character-driven, but the characters are much stronger than in the previous outing. D gets shows some emotion this time around, even if his demeanor rarely changes. However, the real star of the book is Granny Viper, by far the most complex character that Kikuchi's written.

If you only get to buy one entry in the series, make it this one.

Another Great Book From Hideyuki Kikuchi! :).......2007-07-16

I can't get enough of the Vampire Hunter D Series! :) I have read almost all the books expect for 7. All the Vampire Hunter D books are wonderful.

What can I say without spoiling the book too much??? This time our extermemly good looking dark hero D. As a Mission to go across the hot and deadly dessert to do whatever bussiness. In a bar he meets Granny Viper who is a people finder. And the two Bullow Brothers Bingo and Clay.

At first it is unclear what D's Mission is. Granny pushes him to go along with her to the other side of the dessert to help her bring back a girl name Tae back to her family. The Bullow brothers and Granny follow D across the dessert. Further as one reads the dessert is not what it appears to be. And the plot is very twisten and it will surpise you at the very end.

It was a wonderful read and I can't wait to read the next book. :)

Best. One. Yet.......2007-02-23

In this installation of the ongoing Vampire Hunter D series Hideyuki seamlessly and beautifully blends his three favourite genres; Horror, Western, and Fantasy.

After being greatly disappointed with the previous book, this one was a great save, filled with interesting characters and mind-boggling fantasy elements. But never fear, there is still plenty of blood and fang-baring including many references to "Him" or Dracula himself.

All in all, this is my favourite Hideyuki novel so far.

A character driven novel.......2007-02-15

The "bad guy" in this particular novel is largely environmental, so the installment focuses more on the charaters than the action sequences- a truly fabulous development in my book. D himself is somewhat more "emotional" in this novel, giving us a chance to see how he feels about being a dhampir and his father's mission.

Granny Viper is an interesting character, her angery outbursts at seemingly random intervals come together in the end to help highlight the character development of D with ever seeming designed for the purpose.

The novel's coquette, Tae, is likable even though she never seems to manage the depth of Doris or the forcefulness of Leila. She brings out the human-ness in D but not though swanlike tragedy but calm resolve.

Book Description

In a world where even the smallest and most remote village is being terrorized by the monsters that stalk the night, there is a hamlet, prosperous and peaceful, where mortals and vampires have lived in harmony for years. It is there that 17-year-old Sheavil Schmidt has slept, neither waking nor aging, for 30 years since first receiving the vampire's immortal kiss. The mysterious Vampire Hunter D is lured to the tranquil oasis by recurrent dreams of the beautiful, undying girl bathed in an eerie blue light and dancing in a ghostly chateau.

Customer Reviews:

A Few Words.......2007-07-15

This book has a very interesting twist at the end. Think of it like Alice in Wonderland. Yet again, I love the book.

D and Sleeping Beauty.......2007-05-09

An interesting twist to the saga of the dhampir, D. In this story we find D unable to get a good night's (or is day's?) rest. Not because he is hounded by demons and bounty hunters, his nights are restless because everytime he closes his eyes he experiances the same dream over and over again. And when he arrives in a village that has been at peace with vampires since who knows when, things get even more strange when he meets the girl in his dreams...asleep for the past 30 years from a vampire's "kiss."
As with the other D novels, we are plagued constantly about how beautiful the dhampir is, which gets old after the 2nd or 3rd novel. But unlike the previous 4 novels, D is placed in a situation unlike anything he has faced before. No matter how much he tries, someone or something will not let him leave the village. To say more will ruin the excellent story.
An excellent read. Recommended age of reader, 13. No sex, mild language, some horror violence, but nothing a teenager couldn't handle.

More ghost than Vampire.......2007-02-15

Were D not a dhampir, it would be very easy to describe this volume as more ghost story than vampire novel. Even though the story is precipitated by a vampire's kiss (from our mysterious HIM, presumably D's father), the main thrust of the story is from the reality vs. perception conflict more common the the ghost-story genre.

I greatly admire the atmosphere of this particular novel and feel that it would become a beautiful film, as it has a great deal of nuance and symbolism. (In this way it far outshines the almost frantic fourth novel)

Sybille (the girl the sleep bringer loved) is yet another victim of His dream for the future, a dream which she shared and in which she became entrapped. This meta-conflict has been brewing for several books (popping up in the second and fourth books as well) and unlike the fourth book we see it here as something perhaps more beautiful than sinister.

Mildly confusing, but highly entertaining........2007-01-12

For the casual reader, even some not-so-casual, some of the aspects of the novel can be very confusing: what's real? what's not? But, overall, I found myself very much enjoying this book, as I have the previous 4, and would recommend the series to anyone who is into fantasy/sci-fi settings.

Another great book.......2007-01-10

Yet again another great book from Hideyuki Kikuchi. I have enjoyed all of this series so far, but the only thing I wish was that the translation was a little better. I really pretty good, it just sometimes the wording doesn't make sense at first. In the end you do get the jist of it. Great book, and if you liked the movies you should pick up the series.

Book Description

Eons in the future in a toxic, terror-stricken world, The City is a veritable paradise. A tiny hamlet of a few hundred sheltered citizens, it floats serenely just a few feet above the ground on a seemingly random course, safe from the predation of marauding monsters. But paradise is shattered when a vampire invasion threatens the peaceful haven. While the Vampire Hunter known only as “D” struggles to exterminate the lethal scourge, the gorgeous Raleigh Knight and the brash John M. Brassalli Pluto VIII seize control of The City, launching it on a new and deadly course. D’s travails are just beginning.

The heart-stopping thrills and nightmarish plot twists that fans of series have come to expect are on full display in Vampire Hunter D, Volume 4. Six stunning illustrations by the renowned Yoshitaka Amano underscore Hideyuki Kikuchi’s hellish vision of the future.

Customer Reviews:

Moody and thoughtful.......2007-09-22

Raiser of Gales is an interesting, and I think introspective and thoughtful adventure. It more firmly establishes the what and why of D's world. Also, the wording in this novel is well written, far less "All your base-" than ended up getting through in the first translation.

My favorite is that an enemy uses a type of trap that was later incorporated into the second D movie, but I've risked spoiling it enough here.

Vampires rule the night..........2007-08-21

...but when they're victims start moving about and killing people during the day time hours that can be a problem. The people of the village of Tepes are starting to become paranoid, seeing evil in everybody and everything. And they weren't too pure to begin with. Now they have the tall, dark, and handsome Vampire Hunter D in their town. And he is not too sure it is a vampire that is the problem.
Can D solve the mystery before too many people die at the hands of the new type of vampire? Can he solve the mystery before too many people die at the hands of their own protectors?
Great story, great illustrations, great second book to the ongoing Japanese horror series. I will be collecting as many as I can. Get it used or new!

Yet Again Wonderful Book.......2007-07-16

I liked this book as much as I love the first one. This time D finds himself a world he just can't get out of. It keep repeating itself over and over again. The girl in this book as quit a charcter and did not annoyed me as much as Doris Lang. She keeps following D where ever he goes. And he always tell her to "Go Home" Which always made me laugh. The girl he meets is very interested in Vampires and D in the novel finds her strange. WOW that something coming from D. The book was fantasic as always. But it's little sad at the end though.

Would make a great movie.......2007-01-24

This book would definitely make a great anime movie. The story is action-packed and full of unexpected twists and turns. However for me it was not as exciting as the second and third novel, may be because of the fact that it was all action and no feelings. I personally like to see a softer side of D. As much as I love reading all Kikuchi's novels I still don't understand why D enjoys hunting Nobles and protecting humans despite of the fact that humans are always trying to kill him one way or the other. Maybe we'll find out by the end of 17th novel...

progress is being made.......2007-01-14

Many have already commented on the translation, so I will just take a moment to note that it has certainly progressed a bit beyond that of the previous novel. Action sequences in particular seem to have taken on a smoother pace, though the rather spartan and abrupt nature of the original text still causes the occasional coltish wobble.

As with all VHD novels there is a haunting quality to the prose that shines moon bright: D is still more or less at war with his soul, and our plucky coquette-du-livre is enjoyable. The odd coyness about Left-hand (the wise cracking sidekick/parasite) remains; though, since the novels are not particularly linear, this may be less noticeable to those who do not read the books in order or back to back.
