Anime News Network has announced that a CG-animated series based upon the Vampire Hunter D novels, written by Hideyuki Kikuchi, is in the works through California-based production studio Unified Pictures. That studio will be co-producing the series with Japanese studio Digital Frontier, who was behind Resident Evil: Degeneration. Kikuchi will be a part of the project, as will Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust director Yoshiaki Kawajiri.
Unified Pictures producer Scott McLean states:
I’ve been a fan of Vampire Hunter D since I was a teenager. I’m overjoyed at being able to be a part of creating a new chapter for a story I greatly admire.
More information on this project will be unveiled at the Anime Expo that is being held July 2nd-5th in Los Angeles.
