"DMP is very excited to be working with Uclick in bringing Vampire Hunter D to mobile phones," said DMP Production Director Daryl Kuxhouse. "I know fans will enjoy having a completely new way to experience the adventures of Hideyuki Kikuchi's half-vampire hero."
DMP is very excited to be working with Uclick in bringing Vampire Hunter D to mobile phones Vampire Hunter D began in 1983 as a very popular series of prose novels written by Hideyuki Kikuchi with illustrations by Yoshitaka Amano. Kikuchi mixed elements of gothic horror, science fiction and romance with the classic Western to produce a wholly original, post-apocalyptic vision of the distant future, where humanity is ruled by vampires and tormented by a host of creatures including demons, werewolves and mutants, as well as half-human, half-vampire 'dhampirs' like the series' namesake, D.
Vampire Hunter D novels have an international fan base, having sold more than 17 million copies around the world. The novels have been adapted into two anime movies, an audio drama, a video game and printed manga adaptations.
"The Vampire Hunter D series is similar to our series of Bone apps, in that it's another superb example of a story with tremendous scope and scale, presented on the Multi-Touch display," said Uclick CEO Douglas Edwards. "Uclick is not limited to telling small-scale stories on the Apple devices. This is a blockbuster-sized epic filled with action, horror, romance and intrigue, and we've taken great care to ensure that this series of apps truly captures the power of the story and imagery.
"Our presentation of Vampire Hunter D takes full advantage of the large, backlit iPhone and iPod touch screens to give readers a captivating and unprecedented manga experience."
