Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro An Anime Review - Bonus Content Studio: TMS Entertainment  |  Released: 1979  |  Duration: 1h 40min Hey Everyone! Some of you may remember hearing us mention Lupin the Third: The Castle of Cagliostro in our previous Cowboy Bebop and 2020 Top Ten videos, but we thought it was so good it deserved a video of its own. Not to mention it is Hayao Miyazaki’s directorial film debut.   We’d recommend checking out our anime review video below on the film first to find out more about the story, the creative process, and even why more and more anime seems to be inspired by Europe. If you’ve already watched it then as always feel free to continue reading on as we’ll be covering some bonus content here that we weren’t able to fit in our video.

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. Bloodlust was one of the first anime films we saw growing up and one we like to refer to as an anime classic. Even rewatching it now, we still get blown away by how beautiful and smooth the animation...
