Wow - I had no idea Vampire Hunter was also a series of movies! Vampire Hunter is one of the best arcade games I have ever played. I will definitely check those out sometime :}

I’m not sure if the Vampire Hunter Games had anything to do with the movie(s), I don’t think they are at all related… Vampire Hunter D is an anime about a Guy who hunts Vampires, and his name is D. His Hand talks to him, and eats dirt, and stuff. Yes, you heard me. His freaking _hand_!! There are a lot of Vampire Hunter somethings out there, but D is one of the best Animes ever, and the new movie that they just made a few years back is really sweet.

Maybe, for I looked at the screenshots from the movie, and several characters looked similar. In my view, almost all anime characters look/act kinda similar anyway hehe. With that said, I haven’t watched much anime in my life :chinaman:

EDIT: I think you are right. The characters look slightly similar, but they all have different names.

Ghost in the shell - such a crazy movie  
Cowboy Bebop - just saw it last month and loved the story line

vampire hunter D - Is this the one where the vampires hand talks. If it is the one i’m thinking about then ya it is a kickass movie.

Anime really isnt my thing but being from the Boston area I was suprised that there is a convention for it here.

So I checked out the website:  
[http://www.animeboston.com/](http://www.animeboston.com/)

I did get a kick out of this:

> **Get your costumes ready!**  
> The Anime Boston 2004 Masquerade signup form is online! Make sure you read the guidelines first. Once you’re ready to grab one of our 60 masquerade slots, you can go fill out the signup form. Don’t delay! More than two-thirds of the slots are already taken.

What!? LMAO!  
Dressing up as the cartoons?! You have got to be yanking my crank grinch.

Actually CosPlay is a big deal in the Anime Comunity (AniCom? :h:)  
You’d be frightened by ACen… when I went (years ago), they had MechaGodzilla (which was a guy in about 50lbs of sodered metal and cardboard), and a 40 yr old Overwieght balding guy dressed as a Sailor Scout… scary…

I don’t do much in the costume department, but if I ever get back to Acen, I’ll try to go as Roger Smith.
