I'm a big fan of the old Vampire Hunter D. Once 
the artwork for the new one came out It didn't 
take much to realize it would be great. Yes it 
could-of sucked but thats the chance I would take 
since the artwork was released before the movie 
in the US. I understand what you're saying and 
even agree in certain circumstances but as long 
as the same creators made the second one who made 
the first, it was a no brainer...
