| Back in 2010, Hideyuki Kikuchi stated in a magazine interview that a Vampire Hunter D anime series was being made. Whatever happened to this series? Why didn't we ever get it? |
| I'm also wondering what happened, also heard he was working on a live action "Vampire Hunter D" film in addition to a new anime feature....its already 5 years now and still no news... makes me sad this anime had really potential :( |

| Madhouse budget issues? |

EvenJellyOn said: Madhouse budget issues? That's possible. According to this Madhouse hasn't been doing very well profit-wise: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2015-05-27/anime-studios-success-calculated-based-on-10-years-of-disc-sales/.88558 On the list of top ten LEAST successful studios in the past ten years Madhouse came in seventh. |
| We're finally getting it, but it doesn't look like Madhouse will be involved: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2015-06-30/exclusive-vampire-hunter-d-has-new-animated-series-in-the-works/.89840 |

If im right a USA company will fund it? And it will be 3DCG from what i heard. |
| I hope it's good CGI and not SD Gundam tier. That looked off putting even then. |

| Entering year 2 since we were given concrete confirmation on the CGI series (and 7 years overall since we were promised a series in the first place) and I'm starting lose patience. What heck is taking so long? The only thing made in all this time was a freaking comic book. |
| ---------------------- |
| I've been waiting for this literally forever. I even forgot I was waiting, and only remembered when I came across a new volume of the novel series. It's been like, 9 years? |
| ったく、嫌な世の中だよ。 |
| Still nothing confirmed? |

| Works like this fascinate me because wtf are they even doing for so long? The LNs are beeing written for 40 years now, the last anime adaption (which was actually amazing) is 22 years old, the manga is 8 years old. Yet the series? Still missing. |

The company in charge of the series couldn't even get the Message From Mars comic book released in a timely manner so at this point, I have zero hope of them ever doing the series. Maybe another company will make one someday. It's sad because this franchise deserved so much better. Bloodlust was amazing and still holds up over two decades later, I have no trouble believing a full series would be both well-received and profitable if somebody would just bother to make it. |

| I just got done watching Bloodlust and while the first movie was a 5/10 for me, sequel was a 8/10 movie that gave me "this has to be a episodic series" vibe. 2024, noticing this discussion, I see that it was planned to be a series and just went nowhere. What a shame. One of the few vampire based media that doesn't suck colossal ass. |

| That's the damn truth. Looking into the companies that were supposed to be doing this, Digital Frontier and Unified Pictures, it seems they each have a 2024 project in the works so it's not like either company is dead. They just decided to give D the shaft and for the life of me I can't understand why. Wikipedia claims "Pre-production on the series was put on hold in early 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic." but that's bullshit. They weren't working on it before the pandemic other than some guy writing a first draft of the pilot episode in 2018 that they did fuck-all with. Pandemic or no pandemic, most likely we still wouldn't have a finished series by this point. |
