Summary
Roughly ten thousand years after a nuclear war, humanity survives in scattered frontier towns under the decayed rule of vampire Nobility. When Charlotte Elbourne is carried off by the vampire lord Meier Link, her wealthy family puts two parties on the trail: the Marcus brothers, a family of veteran mercenaries, and D, a taciturn dhampir whose left hand houses a wisecracking parasitic face. The pursuit runs across ruined landscapes toward Meier's refuge, complicated by the mutant Barbarois guarding his coach and by growing evidence that Charlotte may have gone willingly. Yoshiaki Kawajiri's animated feature adapts Hideyuki Kikuchi's third Vampire Hunter D novel, Demon Deathchase.

A second review pool sits behind it as well: 1,132 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. The cohort it is ranked inside is 2000s films — 7,847 of them. Only 91 of its IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 94 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2000s (7,847 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 91.
