Toyoo Ashida directs Kaneto Shiozawa, Michie Tomizawa and Seizō Katō in this Japanese anime where a half vampire hunts the demonic count who has bitten a local beauty.

Super simple. Which is what I want from a hand drawn cartoon with titties, gore and monstrosities. I want it to feel like a Saturday morning kids cartoon but… y’know… for adults. This horror western is neat mixture of Leone and Stan Winston. Very entertaining, the right shade of illicit.
