Anime Expo Cinema Nights is bringing back an old favorite to North American theaters! Vampire Hunter D will return on April 9, 2025, to celebrate the movie’s 40th anniversary! As of now, this is the only date listed for a theater screening.
Vampire Hunter D was originally released in 1985 and was based on the novels by Hideyuki Kikuchi. Along with Ninja Scroll, Vampire Hunter D helped introduce American audiences to the darker and more mature side of animation that Japan had to offer.
The OVA movie is described as follows:
In a dark and distant future, when the undead have arisen from apocalyptic ashes, an original story unfolds. Ten thousand years in the future, vampires rule the night. They once ruled outright but their numbers are in decline. Vampire hunters now threaten the vampires with extinction.
