Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust An Anime Review - Bonus Content Studio: Madhouse  |  Released: 2000  |  Duration: 1h 43min Hi Everyone! It’s a little late, but we have another Anime Review for you all! Weirdly it was about this time last year when we came out with another anime review about vampires… Must be something about spring that just makes us long for a good monster horror story. This time, we’ll be talking about the visually stunning animated film Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust by Studio Madhouse. Bloodlust was directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri  (Ninja Scroll)  and is based on the third book, “Demon Deathchase,” from author Hideyuki Kikuchi’s Vampire Hunter D series.  Some of you might remember it from our Top 10 Horror Anime List post from a few years back.

But with Halloween right around the corner, we thought we’d revisit this occult hit again. Like always you can check out our full anime review over on our Lazy Lion Youtube Channel where we cover the anime more in-depth, but here’s some bonus info we don’t mention in the video. A brief summary: Witch Hunter Robin is a 26 episode anime that was released by studio Sunrise in 2002. So another oldie but a goodie. It follows the story of Robin Sena, a fifteen-year-old girl, who has been sent by the witch-hunting organization SOLOMON, to work over at their branch in Japan, known as STN-J, after they lost one of their hunters.

    Studio: CloverWorks  |  12 episodes  |  Watch on: Crunchyroll, Hulu, Funimation, Hidive   Anime Review: Promised Neverland     Horror is defined as “an overwhelming and painful feeling caused by something frightfully shocking, terrifying, or revolting; a shuddering fear”. Personally, we can’t think of a better word to describe Promised Neverland. Which is why we’re recommending it as 2019’s must-see Horror Anime – perfect for this spooky Month.     Not only does it have one of the best-told stories out of this year’s anime crop, it’s also guaranteed to have you sitting on the edge of your seat.  (We know we were)     It starts off innocently enough when we’re introduced to Emma, a girl living in an orphanage with 37 other children, and their caretaker Isabella whom/who they lovingly refer to as “Mother”. All of the children are under the age of 12, and Emma along with her t...

Happy Hug Day Everyone! “ National Hug Holiday Day was created by the “Hugs for Health Foundation” for the belief that hugs, friendship and support are vital components to an overall health plan. Hugs promote a more positive outlook and enhance the quality of ones life.”  So make someone’s day and spread the love 😊 (Unless you’re uncomfortable with physical contact, then good vibes work too.) Behind the Comic : A while ago we were rewatching the Alien franchise when we came across a moment in the film that caused a reaction that we’re pretty sure the filmmakers probably had not intended and that was laughter. the scene we’re talking about is in the first Alien movie (1979) when the character Dallas is in the ships vents looking for the alien and finds it. When we saw this scene of the alien with its arms outstretched and opened wide all we could think was “Somebody just needs a hug”, and this is what inspired us for today’s comic. ~ Stay Obsessed
