Vampire Hunter D Volume 20: Scenes from an Unholy War Paperback – December 24, 2013

I'm gonna try to do this without spoilers.I know a lot of people have been saying that the last 5 books or so have been so different and that D’s character has changed but remember, between each book it seems like years (decades/centuries?) are passing. No person is the same as they were even 5 years ago! I like D’s personality development. In the earlier books he was very distant and cool and didn’t care what people opinions people had of him. As he matures, there’s a sardonic humor that peaks out now and then, but even as he grows a little more sympathetic with the different people he meets, there seems to be a cold noble arising within that has little patience with humans who create conflict or insult him. I also love the fact that he is have more interactions with HIM (lets call him D Senior). It makes me think an ultimate battle is drawing closer and I can't wait! All in all, I think long time fans of this series will enjoy this one. Very well written, well paced, filled with poetic descriptions reminiscent of Dark Nocturne.

Another great book from the long running Vampire Hunter D series

While I was somewhat disappointed in Vampire Hunter D Volume 19, it seemed to be just thrown together and there may have been something lost in the translation, Scenes From an Unholy War is back to being the usual fascinating story you cannot put down that is expected from Hideyuki Kikuchi. Good read!!

From this series. So if you like Vampire Hunter D, you'll enjoy it. Solid writing, good supporting characters, and the ups and downs you'd expect with a surprise twist or two.

Vampire Hunter D is my one of my favorite novel series. I probably should put the next volume on my wish list (if I haven't already). :-)

The book was new but it took two weeks for the book to arrive coming from Jersey to Alabama. It doesn't seem right I can understand a week but two was ridicules for that distance, it not like I live in Alaska.

Another excellent story by Kikuchi that gives us a deeper look and understanding of D.

Good series to read.

Ventesimo (no dico, ventesimo) romanzo della serie. Il viaggio di D prosegue in quello strano miscuglio tra una terra post-apocalittica, una frontiera del vecchio West e un medioevo post-moderno abilmente mixato da Kikuchi.Buona la descrizione degli ambienti (più coreografici e d’effetto che non verosimili o realistici ma rientra nello stile dell’autore) e la caratterizzazione dei personaggi. Il protagonista in particolare continua la sua evoluzione da eroe taciturno e glaciale (in pieno stile anni 80) a cinico osservatore della natura umana (non privo di un certo umorismo). Mi chiedo se questa sia una decisione consapevole dell’autore o se quest’ultimo si lasci influenzare dalle mode del momento.Piacevole la prosa (richiede una conoscenza media della lingua inglese ma non fa diventare matti) e splendide (come al solito) le illustrazioni di Amano.Romanzo piacevole (anche se un po’ breve) e gradevole. Certo, non sarà Balzac ma intrattiene e diverte raccontando una storia e a volte questo è quello che conta. Consigliato.
