NOTE: I have seen the whole 50-episode series already, but not to worry, this is a NO-SPOILER review.

I used to watch a fair amount of anime, but over the past few years, my interest in it had been gradually waning, partly because of the decreasing number of good shows being produced, and partly because of lack of time due to my heavy workload.

However, this trend was reversed when I had the good fortune of coming across Blood+. I had never heard of it before, but the premise seemed interesting enough, though not particularly original or unique. I decided to give it a shot, expecting at least a decent and entertaining show but not much more than that.

But what I got was much, much more I had dared to hoped for. What starts out as a fairly conventional storyline gradually unravels, revealing a vastly more complex and intricate narrative tapestry. Its deliberate pacing may be misconstrued by some as being "slow", but as the story progresses, all the puzzle pieces that are uncovered early on start to fall into place, and things that once seemed insignificant or nonsensical begin to make sense.

As for the technical merits of this show, other people have already discussed its superb animation and hauntingly evocative soundtrack, so I won't go into too much detail on them. Suffice it to say that they complement the mood of the series exceptionally well.

However, what really won me over was the exceptional character development displayed here. Without giving too much away, I can say that these characters actually felt like real, living, breathing people and not just 2-D images on the TV screen. They change and evolve as time goes by, and after a particular event occurs, don't be surprised if you find yourself regarding certain characters in a totally different light.

To make a long story short, Blood+ is one of only a handful of shows that transcends the boundaries of its genre, and one of the best amines I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. In fact, it practically single-handedly revived my passion for anime and spurred me on to seek many other great shows, which I probably would not have bothered to watch otherwise. And that is probably the greatest compliment one can pay to any medium of entertainment.

The first episode will blow you away! The visuals and animation is excellent. It gives you an idea what to expect from the series. The story is beautifully told and has some nice characters. At first it seems like a simple tale about good versus evil. But further in the series it gets clear it isn't that simple. Matters are more complicated because the characters cannot be defined as pure good or pure evil. The good characters have their bad sides and the evil characters show their good sides. Like in real life. In "Blood +, a lot is happening and judging the first episodes it seems like an action series. But after having seen all episodes I now know it is a drama. A very good one indeed. It is about the characters. Saya, Kai and Haji and all the other characters have an important role and illustrate how special Saya (main character) is. There are a lot of episodes in which you can relate to some of the characters. Drawn into the series you will be moved. The pace is a bit slow. And they sure took their time for "Saya', to realize and remember who she is. I also expected some spectacular growth in strength and abilities. Certainly when you compare it with "The chevaliers". But I think most of her strength comes from inside and her love for her friends and all other people. The music is wonderful and makes the anime more moving. Sometimes it will be difficult to follow this series,but if you stick with it,you will be rewarded!

Let me note that I have watched Blood+ ep.1 - 26, whilst the series will go up to 52 episodes (i think).

It has been a while since I have seen a decent anime. A breather from the mainstream Naruto or Bleach, Blood+ does not seem to have too many fan base on the internet, and can easily slip by as "just another anime." Luckily this is not case for me as it turned out to be quite an impressive anime.

The plot at first seems very conventional for its genre, however it gets more engrossing as each episode passes by. As the story unfolds, the characters becomes more lively, and colorful with emotions. The graphics are very solid, and beautifully animated. Just as the title for-shadows, it does get quite bloody, and gory here and there (but nothing too obscene).

Overall, it is a very enjoyable anime so far. It is far more entertaining than Naruto and Bleach, as the plot unfolds fairly quickly. I will have no regrets spending 22hours (52 ep.) watching this anime ha ha.

I've seen a lot of anime in my day. I have to say this is one of my favorites. I've just recently finished the whole series. From beginning to end its all drawn beautiful and the music is amazing. I won't get into detail about any plot seeing as others have. But the character development in this series is exceptional. It really does make you start to care for the characters. I have only felt that way with two other animes(fma, Rurouni kenshin).

Top notch show, great plot whole way through the series. Also biggest thing unlike other shows nowadays, there are no filler episodes! Well done on an amazing series.

So far, only 5 episodes of the new show "Blood+" have been released, I've seen up to episode 4 and I must say that this is one incredible show! With a design that merges CGI and Hand drawn animation so seamlessly and a storyline that is more exciting than Buffy and more addictive than anything else I've ever seen (Except maybe Naruto) this is one immense show that is a definite tribute to the film.

Originally, back in 2001, the creators of Ghost In The Shell decided to create a 6-episode OVA series about a vampiress who kills vampires. The first episode was made, being one of the first to blend CGI and hand animation so brilliant, and also becoming an instant success over here in the western world. However, the cost of the first episode was too much, and there wasn't enough money to support the 45 minute episodes, so the show was cancelled after the first ep. The first episode was then re-released onto DVD, simply entitled as "Blood: The Last Vampire" and took itself as a 45 minute film.

But, with the success of DVD sales for the film, the company started up on the project again, this time creating a 52 episode series entitled "Blood+" which was created to give a bit more background to the series and also to add more characters and more story, allowing the original story to be developed even further than the original 6 episode plan could have done. The show is still just beginning, but it is already incredible, within the first 2 minutes of the first episode I was hooked. This show also does that evil technique of ending each episode with a cliff-hanger (Much like Naruto) and as each cliff-hanger is sooo exciting, you watch the next episode the following week to find out what happens.

This show is still finding its ground, but thanks to the roaring success of the Film, the gorgeous action, interesting and believable characters (ignoring the fact 1 of them is a vampire...) and an attractive story, this TV show should become one of the great anime-classics such as Evangelion, Cowboy Bebop, Naruto, Rurouni Kenshin. I have a whole year until this show is completed, and I will watch as a devoted fan. I hope you all do too as this show is just INCREDIBLE!

I only write a review here when I see something I really like or really really hate. I had to write this and get it out of my mind. So here I am.

This is the best anime series I have seen so far. I saw it all in 2 days 50 episodes and must say I couldn't stop. The feeling I got from this anime series is undesirable. It's almost like you're happy that you saw it and sad that is over. I'm a great fan of other series like Bleach, Banner of the stars, Claymore and some more. But the story/plot of Blood+ is by far the best, not to mention the music, it's absolutely amazing. One can tell that there is hard work and a lot of feelings behind it all. I have never been interested in downloading anime soundtracks until now. What I liked most about Blood is that there are no filler episodes what so ever. Great story, and characters are as alive as you can get in a drawing. It made me see the characters as if they were real, and that's some accomplishment. The animation is good, but not the best I have seen so far. But it's decent and has some mixed CG sequences along the episodes. I'm looking forward for seeing more of Junichi Fujisaku work and hope that he makes more anime like this. So I like to thank all of the artists behind this wonderful work. Thank you for your hard work.

I've seen the entire series (subbed) of Blood +.

I discovered that a series existed, and after loving 'Blood - The Last Vampire', I had to find 'Blood +'.

I di find it! First off, it's best not to compare the series directly to the feature, at least not right away.

I admit, it takes a while to start, to the point where you think nothing is ever going to happen! You actually feel like shouting at Saya "C'Mon! Get a move on!". However, it does eventually start, and from there on it's a story of twists and turns, though never really any that shock or surprise. There are a few interesting sub-plots to follow, that fill in the background for the series and give it a more three dimensional feel rather than it being all about Saya, but at the same time is linked to her.

Sometimes I felt like I couldn't connect with the characters, where I should be emotional, I found that I wasn't bothered about them, not really. Saying that, perhaps some of the emotion was lost in translation through reading the subtitles...I do look forward to a good dub. Yes, true anime fans can still like dubs!! The soundtrack is very nice too, unique music that gives each series it's own feel, music that fits well with the mood.

It's well worth watching, you just have to get past the first 8-9 eps without giving up on it!

This is a series based on an anime movie called "Blood: the Last Vampire". The animation is good, without being great, the music is above average up until the middle of the series when some meaningless teen pop music is added as the final track. The story is interesting, but it makes no sense in the long run, but what's really annoying is the personalities of the characters.

Basically you have a good vampire queen with a vampire servant and a whole bunch of human friends fighting the evil vampire queen with a whole bunch of vampire servants and a whole bunch of human employees. The good always seem to win because the bad are either bored or completely distracted by other things, while the few situations that could be exploited in the advantage of the main character end in emotional outbursts and impotent tears.

What makes it even more ridiculous is that these vampires can only be killed by the blood of the other kind of vampire. Still there are always humans ready to shoot their little guns and (sometimes) shotguns or SMGs. Can anyone guess what happens to them?

I watched all the 50 episodes in order to get to the bottom of the story. It was a complete mess, but now it's over, I can move on. Bottom line: there are a lot of worse animes out there, but there are a lot of them that are better, as well.

Commenting first on the art, this series is luscious. The colors are vibrant and moodsetting throughout the episodes. Detail is everything and Blood Plus has it in spades. If looked at purely for graphics, this is one of the few truly gorgeous animes out at this time.

From a plot stand point, the series faithfully follows the characters superbly inre their development as time passes. There really aren't any gimmicks or quick shots. Character personalization, which is often lacking in many animes, is delivered here. Episode to episode, they reveal depths undreamt of when the characters are initially revealed. Chills and goosebumps abounded when I watched for the first time.

For me, this was an anime that was enjoyable the first time through and definitely has the ability to be watched over and over. Each time, new levels are revealed as you focus on different emotions brought to the table in a lush and thought provoking manner.

Watch it for the psychology or watch it for the shallow surface which covers the true depths. This is not an anime that disappoints. I absolutely loved it!

I'm finding that there seem to be quite a few more negative reviews than positive. I don't really see what's so "nearly awful" about this series. Granted, I haven't quite reached the end of the series yet, but I quite like it. It's got great style. The art is beautiful. I found the story rather compelling. On top of it all, the action is nearly addictive without being too over the top. I think it's a wonderful series. I do, however kind of wish that there was a bit more visual continuity between Blood: TLV and the series. Saya didn't look at all like she did in the movie. I also felt that the series could have used a few of the darker touches found in the movie. But all in all I feel that both are stylistically winning. I'm eager to finish the series.

I fell in love with the movie Blood: the last vampire..as most of you know I'm sure its the series is a continuation from that movie. I loved the movie from the first time i watched it. Then...when i found out there was a series to go along with it i was ecstatic!! I was so happy that i immediately bought the first 4 volumes (episodes 1-33) I loved the series so much that i practically watched all four volumes in two days. (lol) The series is action-packed and has an amazing storyline. If you love action-packed anime...with sort of a hinted romance you'll love this. I highly, highly recommend this series to any anime fan. And there are some rumors of Blood: the last vampire being remade in 2007. So cross your fingers and hope that its true.

Episode 34 hit this week. I've been watching the show pretty religiously up to this point just because it was sandwiched between Bleach and Ghost in the Shell 2nd Gig repeats (amazing show). Both shows were considerably better than blood. Blood would get better, then get worse again, repeatedly. They seem to be unable to maintain the level of quality they occasionally reach.

A few episodes ago a major character died and I couldn't care less- this really cemented the realization that this show is all style and cliché's with no real heart.

Don't get me wrong, I've seen plenty of bad mindless anime, and this isn't a bad show. But when I started watching adult swim we had such shows on as Ghost in the Shell, Samurai Champlo, Full Metal Alchemist, FLCL. All of which were really, really exceptional shows that managed to draw me in despite my not being a huge fan of anime.

Blood + just isn't of that caliber and now that Bleach has apparently been canceled and Ghost in the Shell repeats have wrapped up, the show just isn't strong enough to keep watching just to see what happens.

Saya is a mysterious girl that doesn't know her past . As she regains her memory, Saya discovers most of her "life", not true. Can't wait to see episode 3! New to anime? I recommend the 2001 release, "Blood: The Last Vampire". Its shows what the best of anime is all about, and you meet Saya (vampire anti heroine) for the first time. She's a warrior like Kill Bill , ala "Bladette". It's still not clear what the relationship is between Saya, and the U.S. Miltarys' Black Ops Squad. I want to see the origins of this character , that seems to be where they're going. So far so good. The biggest surprise of all was the music production. Academy Award Winner, Hans Zimmer (Gladiator)! There are brilliant performances by a cellist that provides amazing musical depth to one of the main characters in this series. This one is a winner!

Just started re-watching this series😊 I haven't seen this show since I was little, but I remember loving it so much! I wanted the saya sword and would often sing the opera scenes over and over haha Can't wait to finish the show again 10 years later!!!

To start off, I would say that Blood+ rates as one of my top 5 anime series, and I'm very picky when it comes to that. That said, it also has its flaws, and falls victim to a few typical anime tropes, but I'm not going to spend time in this review making excuses for them. In my opinion, the overall "journey" was a satisfying one. However, if you're looking for more of what you saw in the movie Blood: The Last Vampire, this show is not really the same in its overall tone or art style.

Pros:

• Different take on the vampire mythos (no garlic, crosses, wooden stakes, etc.) featuring main characters with intricate backstories
• Story that blends classic vampire rivalries with high-tech conspiracies, and includes tie-ins to real-life historical periods & events
• Strong emphasis on themes dealing with the bonds of family, coping with mental trauma, crisis of identity, and fighting against hopeless odds
• An art style that is a bit more grounded and realistic than typical anime, with technical/mechanical art (weapons, vehicles) that is fairly accurate to reality
• Excellent musical score (also, one of the characters is a cellist)

Cons:

• The pacing is more slow and deliberate than many action anime series, which is not everybody's thing
• Although the series starts and ends strong, the 2nd half of the show is more drawn out and meanders at times (probably could have told the story in 3 seasons instead of 4)
• Like most series, is the victim of a few anime tropes (i.e. "monster-slaying high school girl", "The Chosen One Syndrome", and "dark, brooding male lead")
• The English translation and dub alter some conversations so much that they sound illogical or sappy compared to the original dialogue

Watching Blood+ in English was a really engrossing and amazing journey. It has that very warm early 2000s anime feeling with a great diverse cast that takes the story international + widens the scope.

For its good 50 episodes, it has plenty of time to flesh out the characters and plots, and really does a decent job of making you care for them. They go through alot... and its really heartbreaking.

The tropes it tackles are quite staple of anime of those days, but it does so with great competence and reasonable sensibilities, remaining conscious of its story decisions, world and creature limitations, while not always putting it out directly.

The English dialogue, voice acting is really funny and good!!

And of course hans zimmer behind the music was also a delightful surprise. 4/4 openings and 3/4 ending songs were soo good! 2nd and 3rd openings, and ending 1 is my favorite.

Most of the girls were very pretty and hot.

Started on October 28, 2024 and ended it today. What a beautiful show, will feel sad for Kai though. 6:47am.

Motivated by the great 'Blood: The Last Vampire', I started with pleasant anticipation 'Blood+', only to be disappointed from the beginning.

I persevere hoping that the story will go its own way and being more interesting in later episodes.

But it was gloomy.

'Blood: The Last Vampire' has no outreaching story, but has a formidable style, some convincing characters and a peculiar art.

'Blood+' seems to be made pregnant by stereotypes, and nothing more than this.

Boring!

I needed a lot of willpower to survive viewing this 'lousy job', just to write this comment.

Yet another anime that has a lot of fans for reasons I will never understand. Drama for the sake of drama with a main charachter thats a vampire queen and is too scared to move half the time. Ridiculous. Quite a stupid anime for the most part. Little girls might get something out of it though.
