add recVampire Hunter D is very much a parallel to Blood the Last Vampire since they are both about hunting vampires, or evil demons at least. Of course D uses a sweet ass sword as well.
Blood The Last Vampire takes place in the Vietnam War Era. Saya, the last vampire, is sent in by her government to investigate a mysterious killing. They both have a relatively simple plot, the fighting scenes are insanely bloody, and they take gore to a different level. So if you're looking for a good bloody action vampire movie you just found one!
Blood: The Last Vampire and Vampire Hunter D both involve very violent vampire slaying obviously. If you liked one, you will enjoy the other; they have the same concept and lots of violence.
Dark, bloodthirsty and gruesome - Vampire Hunter D and Blood: The Last Vampire are two vamp films that really stand out for me as among the best in the genre. Although the animation styles do naturally differ, both films work off a story involving the hunting of dark creatures by lead characters that are much more than they first appear to be, sharing more in common with their enemies than is evident at first glance. They both work in a similar way too - silent but efficient, with only a hint of human emotion - and the stories also both give the impression that there is something much bigger going on that is only hinted at here in the movies. This richness of plot also allowed for subsequent anime productions of both.
The first reason is for example existence the same race of characters: vampires. Both series offer spectators the many scenes of the fight where is full of beautiful blood. I think every people who like great characters, they will be watch "Vampire Hunter D".
Both feature dhampirs seeking out and destroying creatures of the night, mostly vampires or vampire-like creatures, but some other monsters along the way as well. Both feature some nice gory elements and nothing's funner than seeing someone dominate something with a katana/sword!
Vampire Hunter D provides the audience with an experienced vampire-hunting vampire doing what he does best. The same could be said of Blood The Last Vampire, excepting the change of gender in the protagonist. The animations style is rather different, but both still create the sombre mood required for the story. With both protagonists wielding swords, hunting creatures of the night with lots of blood being spilled and still managing to maintain some humanity, it is hard to see why you would not like one if you liked the other.
Hellsing
In present day England, a war is being fought. The average citizen does not notice, but vampires are running rampant among the populace, and it's up to the Hellsing organization to contain the bloodsucker threat, using even their own weapons against them. Alucard, a vampire himself, is the best agent the organization has to offer, answering only to Integra Hellsing herself. No one knows much about this mysterious figure fighting against the occult, but things starts to change after he “recruits” a new agent to the establishment...

add recI believe that Hellsing and Blood have very similar elements in them, for one they both have vampire main characters. Also if you're looking for a different way of fighting, both anime series involve a lot of fighting and violence; however their methods of fighting are quite different, from close combat to gun fighting.
I would also wonder what it'd be like if both series crashed into each other as a cross-over, as they are so alike.
both Hellsing and Blood the Last Vampire are about vampires, but the similarities don't end there. Both have a darker tone that focuses a lot on the action scenes which are both exciting and bloody.
A main difference between these two anime is that in "Hellsing" the main fighter against vampires is a guy and in "Blood" it's a girl. In other ways the plot remains the same - one good vampire is fighting a bunch of mindless bad vampires. If you like action, lots of red and black colors in the background, and also spilled blood, you'll like both of these anime.
Blood is an incredibly dark movie. Its blend of 2D/3D animation has given the creators a lot of freedom to experiment with light and shadow. Hellsing's animation has the same techniques involved and it works well, and the anime also has a very sinister mood to it. Neither anime stray far from anger, horror and revenge. If you like horror and fantasy then both will surely tick all of the boxes.

add recBoth anime deal with silent vampire/demon hunters who actually share blood-ties to vampires. Of course this brings an inherent conflict to both the personalities of Saya and D as they go about their job. The plots are equally simple but entertaining, and move at a similar fast pace. The level of gore in one is easily matched by the other. Vampire Hunter D has a more sci-fi/western setting whilst Blood is fixed in today's world, but they both still pull off a similarly atmospheric and dark look, with sophisticated, powerful action thrown in the mix.
Both series tell history about the same race: vampires. They have great scenes of the fights and pretty lines. An additional advantage are interesting, accessory characters. I think, that all people liking dark, blood and want to see good story, they must watch "Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust".
Everyone loves vampires! Especially those kind of vampires that are somehow... different. Both Vampire Hunter D and Blood the Last Vampire are dark, mysterious and still unlike other vampire-related anime. Two vampire who hunt vampires/monsters: not a new, but still interesting idea.

add recThese are very dark anime with a protagonist who is a monster (one literally, one metaphorically) and masquerades as a human being.
There are a few but very well-made action scenes. Blood has better visuals but Jin-Roh is superiour in its storytelling.

add recBoth Blood and the first half of Witch Hunter Robin are about characters with supernatural powers hunting down other supernatural beings that would harm humanity, with a suspenseful hunt building up to an exciting showdown.
With a female lead who is part of an organisations designated to killing those who are the same as them, it is obvious to see why having watched either you'd be interested in the other. Both WHR and Blood deal with the supernatural side of society and the exploration of a character who has to deal with them through their line of work.
