 Apparently so.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highlander:_The_Search_for_Vengeance
It's an anime released around the same time as HIGHLANDER: THE SOURCE.
 

Wow - in the voice cast of this, I only know Nolan North and Jim Byrnes.

  Highlander: The Search for Vengeance is a 2007 American-Hong
Kong-Japanese adult animated dystopian fantasy action film and an
anime installment in the Highlander franchise. The film was directed
by Yoshiaki Kawajiri (Ninja Scroll, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust) and
was written by David Abramowitz, also the writer for Highlander: The
Series, Highlander: The Raven and Highlander: The Source. The film was
a joint venture between Imagi Animation Studios and Madhouse Studio,
with Imagi providing the script and the soundtrack, while Madhouse
produced the animation. It was produced in association with
Davis-Panzer Productions and distributed by Manga Entertainment on
June 5, 2007 and aired on July 30 on Sci Fi's Ani-Monday block. The
film is dedicated to the memory of William N. Panzer, who died in
2007, and was the co-owner of the Davis-Panzer Inc., which was the
company who created the franchise.

Wow, I don't think I've ever heard of this before now!  "Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust" is good.  I'm planning to watch it again this year or next.  Xfinity lists a bunch of Highlander options including the animated series, but not this.
