Blood-C

Having remembered Blood and Blood+ I figured this would be worth a watch but it's got more than a few flaws.

-Overall poor/average animation. Inconsistent sizing of the characters and object Comically stretched limbs on oddly thin characters

-Weak story Build is slow, repeated episodes without any clear direction and about 90 seconds of main story content. Last 2 episodes contain more story content then the previous 10.

-Oddly anticlimactic fights. Inside the context of the story the fights in the first 10 or 11 episodes "kind of" make sense, but the fights seem hollow when the main character is beat down for several minutes then kills the monster of the week in under 10 seconds.

This movie is very easily predictable. Not to mention the weird spindly long bodies with the giant boobs is hard to watch. It's a typical I'm a high-school person out to protect my friends and family and this case she never does and towards the end I was rooting for the monsters. Every time she gets beat up or watches all her friends die she then activates her power which spoiler her eyes just change and then she wins rinse repeat throwing a twist for the end which we all saw.... Garbage. Not to mention it is super gory. And if it's on like Hulu they will edit it even more.

I've followed Blood since the 2000 film which was dark, brooding, and angry; a truly sensual treat to the senses, primarily because of its equally dark, brooding, and angry main character. When the 2005 anime series Blood+ was released I watched excitedly, ever hoping for the appearance of the Saya from the movie version. While the series developed well and the story was engrossing, the Saya from the series never reached the level of the her motion picture counterpart. I can't say it was a disappointment because the series was so well executed.

When I found Blood-C, I hoped to find yet another incarnation of Saya who might stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the 2000 film version. I'm still waiting. I can't say I dislike the series because it has elements that are enjoyable to watch and a story the moves slowly toward bigger things. Still it lacks the intensity of the film or even the first series. In that the series is still ongoing, I can't say whether it will develop into the master work of the film or Blood+. I continue to hope and, for now, continue to watch.

If you enjoy the Blood concept, Blood-C may be enough to hold your interest and, as I said, hopefully it will develop into another arm of the original, engrossing idea.

It's an okish anime, if you manage to hold on for the end. Not gonna spoil anything, but I almost lost interest in it several times, yet the end is worth the boring, repetitive, almost stereotypical anime plot.

I know nothing about it's relation to other anime (if any), but as I watched it, it got me (even if barely).

Gore, some anime tiddies, some kawaii moments, meh, worth a watch at least.

A real anime, not suitable for minors. Too gory, violent, and with a lot of well-crafted fight scenes. A story that unfolds piece by piece, episode by episode, until it reaches an epic ending that will take your breath away.
