Marvels endeavor to get a chip in the anime genre is interesting and humorous at best. The sole new element to the series is the introduction of several world-type vampires, with the rest being preset characters. Lambeles, gargoyles, gorgons... Nevertheless, vampires. As a result of this "upgrade," Eric is no longer engaged in combat with "humanid" monsters. Of course, there are still pureblood vampires, but Blade is also engaged in combat with mutants and demons.

As a Blade Believer, I must admit that this series is definitely worth seeing, but it doesn't add anything fresh to the genre-rather, it makes use of every available manover. However, they introduced more of the bushido and samurai styles to the blade fighting in anime clash.

Furthermore, when we discuss mutants in this context, we're not referring to your average mutants here; rather, we're talking about the super-mutants of Marvel. A major and humiliating campaign is underway to introduce more mutants to the anime genre for the possibility of their being included in anime shows.

You will probably enjoy the new series if you enjoy monster-type vampires, Blade, long-drawn talks, and focusing on the characters' past lives on ongoing television shows.

While I love these original comic book stories, straight from the source, even animation wise, these Marvel Anime segments aren't my favorite to watch, great Blade story though!

Set in various locales of South East Asia and Japan, Blade does what he does best in bloody fashion with a familiar cast of characters and new ones. The artwork by MADHOUSE studios is amazing and is highlighted Warren Ellis & Kenta Fukasaku's storytelling that never captures a dull moment.

When I first heard about this new series, I had no idea that it was also part of a an ongoing project of anime produced by Marvel based on X-Men and Iron Man. So out of the three of them, I chose Blade because I'm a huge fan of the character; having first seen him in the stellar "Spider-Man: The Animated Series" and then on the big screen with the equally impressive first "Blade" film.

I didn't know what to think. I thought it going to be a lazy cash-in on a once-obscure superhero, but it turned out to be much more than I expected. It's got all the great elements of the films and comics, and then some. What I like more about this series is that, unlike the films, the writers actually take the time to explore Blade's past. Blade is much more developed in this series; something even the films, save for the first two, the third film failed to do. In this series, Blade comes across as a tortured and much more sympathetic hero, making him a much more rounded character. And the supporting cast is equally impressive, especially the spunky, street-wise Makoto, who really grew on me as things went on. She and Blade are like kindred spirits; both have lost a loved on in the past, but push forward for the greater good which makes them heroes.

But no superhero epic would be complete without villains and this one's got a lot of bite(no pun intended)with a vast assortment of baddies for our heroes to encounter, including the big bad boy himself, Deacon Frost. Needless to say, the Deacon Frost in this series, is equally brutal and sadistically evil as his film and comic book counterpart at the same time. But surprisingly, his back-story makes him a sympathetic character as well, despite his evil nature. But Frost has bigger and nastier plans for humanity and it's up to Blade, Makoto, and several allies(including some surprises that will make fans giddy with excitement)to stop him at all costs.

What follows is a deliciously delightful dessert of action, suspense, thriller and horror with a side of dark humor, thrown in for good measure. The action scenes are really impressive, but my only complaint is that it's a little too tame in places, making it seem "PG-13" like despite the fact that Blade is a gruesome and bloody superhero. At least in Blood+(another equally impressive series)the vampire slaying is shown very vividly. Blade on the other hand, plays it safe; presumably to reach a wider audience. I like my vampire slaying shown in full force, not in quick-cut motion, which may turn some people off. Also, the techniques that Blade shows off when killing his enemies, becomes a little repetitive after a while, but it's the well-written stories and plot that makes up for it.

While not as bloody as the films and other vampire-slaying epics like Blood+, Marvel Anime: Blade, is a worthy addition to fans of the character. This series has won over any skepticism I had before viewing this series, and I enjoyed the ride. Great characters, great stories, great art, simply great series. A second and third viewing is not out of the question.

Eric Brooks--known as Blade--seeks revenge on Deacon Frost.Deacon Frost, the vampire lord who killed his mother while she was still pregnant with Eric. With all the powers of a vampire with none of their weaknesses, Blade's quest for vengeance leads him throughout Southeast Asia in search of Frost. where, in Vietnam, he discovers a vampire plot that threatens to take down the whole world.

Blade is actually considered a "vampire immune human" due to the rare circumstance of his mother having been bitten by a vampire while she was giving birth.

He was later bitten by a test tube vampire which gave him the strength of a vampire, without their weaknesses.

However, in the films, Blade does still crave blood.

Blade's name is derived from his obvious talent with knives and swords, which he swings around and tosses at monsters with great flourish.

The character originally appeared in Marvel Comics vampire series, staring Dracula, in the 70's. He returned years later to help Spider-Man out with a vampire problem, and has since been absorbed into the greater Marvel Universe, with S.H.I.E.L.D. even designing and supplying many of his weapons.

Blade is part of the Marvel anime series, which also includes the Wolverine and Iron man anime series. No word about whether this series will feature any other popular marvel characters, but I wouldn't be surprised to see at least Nick Fury make an appearance.

Marvel studios is working with Mad House productions and Superhero Anime Partners, so we likely won't have to wait too long for an official subtitled release (unofficial subtitled versions will, of course, hit the Internet within days of each episode, but those are of questionable legality - and sometimes questionable quality).
