Persistence of Vision: Animated Masterworks is the Roxy's monthly celebration of classic and contemporary animation masterpieces, made by legendary artists for an adult audience.

In a dark and distant future, when the undead have arisen from apocalyptic ashes, an original story unfolds. Ten thousand years in the future, vampires rule the night. They once ruled outright but their numbers are in decline. Vampire hunters now threaten the vampires with extinction. One hunter is unlike all the others. He is a Dunpeal--half-human, half-vampire. At war with himself, feared by all, tortured and alone, he is: Vampire Hunter D. 

Directed and written by the legendary Yoshiaki Kawajiri, director of Ninja Scroll, Wicked City, and Demon City Shinjuku.
