High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Vampire Hunter D - one of the first anime films released outside of Japan, remains a cult classic in the English-speaking world. Billed by the Japanese producers as a "dark future science-fiction romance", Vampire Hunter D is set in the year 12,090 A.D., in a post-nuclear holocaust world where a vampiric Nobility terrorizes human peasants. While making her rounds, the whip-wielding seventeen-year-old Doris Lang, daughter of a deceased werewolf hunter, is attacked by Count Magnus Lee (named for the eponymous "Count Magnus" of a short story by M. R. James and Hammer Films' famed vampire actor, Christopher Lee), the long-vanished vampire lord said to be over 10,000 years old.
