people: Hideyuki Kikuchi

Yes, it's been done before, but the possibilities of all-new adaptations of Hideyuki Kikuchi's long-running gothic-Western-punk light novel series are wider than ever

Adapted from the third novel in the 'D' series, 'Bloodlust' tops its source material, the earlier animated 'D' film, and a good deal of the competition that's come along since

There's little question 'D' helped open anime to the West, but its status as an artifact of its moment in time has only become more stark over the years
