In this animated film, the future is bleak for the world’s remaining humans, who inhabit a vast wasteland and spend the majority of their time trying to outrun vicious vampires and other demonic beings. A supernaturally skilled swordsman known simply as D (Kaneto Shiozawa), who is part vampire himself, is hired by mortals to track down the villainous Count Magnus Lee (Seizô Katô), who recently attacked a local girl. When D rides into Lee’s lair on his mechanical steed, a bloodbath ensues. Commissioned by Rob H. (2/14/25)
