Missy Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 A listener just wrote in and asked the following: If you guys know of an anime-style cartoon with a vampire character much like Dracula (it may even be Dracula) who gets a change of heart, burns a cross into the palm of his hand and kills other vampires with it I would love to know the title. I saw it on TV when I was a kid sometime in the eighties and need to see it again. My first guess was Hellsing, but he specifically said he saw this in the 1980s. So that rules it out. He's Canadian, by the way, so maybe they had something back then which the US didn't. Like maybe Vampire Hunter D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James D. Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 D never burned a cross onto his hand. He is, however, host to a symbiotic being known as "Left Hand" that comes to his aid at times. But I doubt that's what this listener was talking about as nothing else he/she speaks about is like VHD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 After a quick Google search, my guess is Nightwalker. http://www.geocities.com/mistress_nightwalker/ I don't know when it was made though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 After a quick Google search, my guess is Nightwalker. http://www.geocities.com/mistress_nightwalker/ I don't know when it was made though. Dang! That one's not it either. It's funny that all of these anime vampire stories have mutilated hands as part of the mythos. Odd. Thans for starting the thread Mike!

Dread Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 By George I think I've finally found it!!! It's the Marvel anime adaptation of Tomb of Dracula directed by Akinori Nagaoka and Minoru Okazaki!!! Anyone finds me a copy of this gets mucho points in my book, a monetary finder's fee (no too much) and a ball of praise in the Reel Dread column.

Missy Posted October 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 (edited) EDIT: Better still, click here for both Tomb of Dracula (one of the US titles) and The Monster of Frankenstein! Edited October 3, 2006 by Yoda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
