Looks kino, I'll put it on my list. You should watch Hellsing, it's also about vampires and stuff.

I think it was kino but I was drunk when I watched so I might have to watch it again.
>anything similar to this?
what did you like about it?

>what did you like about it?
the atmosphere, the character design and the Madhouse animation of course. next on my list is another Madhouse production called Ninja Scroll

>>108399
By Ninja Scroll hopefully you mean the film and not the TV series. The film is much much much better.

There's not much I think of that strike the perfect balance of all the things that made this masterpiece as good as it that you've mentioned. There's many any anime with just as good character design, atmosphere and animation.

Closest I that comes to mind is Magnetic Rose which part of an anthology (the other shorts are nowhere as close as good so don't bother watching). It's made by Madhouse and it's a pseudo-horror short film with some best animation I've seen and uses a lot of cinematic composition. Pure eye candy. I think that checks all the boxes.

>>108548

About [SIUUU] vs [ZoroSenpai] for Bloodlust: The two are very close to each other in quality. [SIUUU] is a BD remux. [ZoroSenpai] is an encode of that BD. They have the same subs. You can see a screenshot comparison here: https://slow.pics/c/dVaRKNCB – navigate with the left and right keyboard buttons to switch source and up and down to switch scene. "JPN Avex Pictures Blu-ray" there is the [SIUUU] release. As you can see, visually they are very close. The English track in the [SIUUU] version is 5.1 "DTS HD-Master Audio" at 2176kbps whereas the [ZoroSenpai] version is 5.1 "Dolby Digital Plus" at 1024kbps. For the Japanese audio [SIUUU] and [ZoroSenpai] share the same track. Bloodlust btw is one of those exceptionally rare cases where the English audio is actually good. The voices and deliveries are good. It's totally watchable in English. However the English dialogue is somewhat inaccurate and simplified and there's a bit of "filler" dialogue (speech where there shouldn't be any).

Playback tip:

> Play with MPC-BE and render through ffdshow raw video filter (as an External Filter within MPC-BE) and therein adjust the Picture Properties and (or PP only) Levels (with Force RGB) to whatever looks good for you. Always remember any anime – especially those not computer-made, those transferred from film – can benefit from having its saturation and brightness and darkness levels increased. For instance for Cobra use something like Saturation 76 in Picture Properties and 20—240 in Levels. Be careful to not overdo these things (for any anime), or you'll crush bright and dark details and make the colors look wrong. What settings are appropriate varies from anime to anime; what looks best for one anime isn't the best for another.
