[edit] cheap shot at english dub

I found the details on the differences between the english dub and japanese dub to very low blow to the taking, I took out the needless opinion. Mind you this is an encyclopedia, not a forum on what is thought to "sound" darker by taste (and the use of "obviously" is a bit too profound for something based on fact) Secondly, whoever put that it in or wrote this article seems to want to give the ENTIRE japanese cast. This isn't needed, I edited down to feature just D and Meir Link, listing the top 5 roles and just listing the english director? Come on, remember, this is not about personal preference.

[edit] Carmila, not Carmilla

(This note also appears on the Vampire Hunter D article.)

In all the material I've seen for the movie, the name is spelled Carmila, not Carmilla. (Though I'm aware the likely inspiration is spelled Carmilla.) See, for example, the page at Urban Vision's official site for the movie: http://www.vampirehunterdbloodlust.com/themovie/characters_carmila.html . I've been unable to find a Japanese source that spells her name with romaji; apparently her full name in Japanese is Elizabeth Báthory Carmila (source: Vampire Hunter D Playstation guide; at one time Yutaka Minowa's page had this information, but he seems to have taken down his character design images).—TheCert 00:14, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV problems

I tried to rewrite the opening to reflect the NPOV, but I think the rest of the article could use a good going over. I'm not familiar enough with the film to do it myself. Note to other anime fans--you may have strong opinions about your films, but Wikipedia is not the place to publish them. Konczewski 21:28, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Character Section

I thought of making a character section to the article, and make the plot part about the plot only, any suggestions?Mohamed 10:53, 20 March 2007 (UTC) The article needed a rewrite, i rewrote it, any suggestions? In my opinion, the article needs more rewrite, especially in the differences between the novel and the movie section. See if this is good or not, that article still needs lots of work.
