Blood-C

But otherwise a really slow and somewhat annoying pace. Had to quick forward through the first 10 episodes as it was dragging horribly.

It has it's moments, but I always felt like they put together two different animes, one with a very cutesy feel, which felt like it was going nowhere, and another with action that blood which still feels underwhelming. While the action/gore scenes are decent, most of it felt rushed and hollow. Story telling is bad, the real plot, is thrown at you in one episode.

Honestly, it only gets the 4 stars for the gorn.

Otherwise, I feel like his could have been a shorter series, like cut it down to 3 episodes. Or just watch the last episode on YT, you are not missing anything.

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.

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 anime is worthwhile, intriguing, and left me excited at the end. It follows Saya, a high school girl who fights monsters that feed on human blood.

The story is well-suited for a 12-episode miniseries. The character development is executed effectively. Saya, with her innocence and caring nature, is portrayed convincingly in several scenes. Her relationships with her father, Fumito, the cafe owner, and her classmate, Tokizane, add depth, especially as the story unfolds at key moments. The cat's mystery is also satisfactorily resolved in the final episodes. Although the initial episodes focus on school life, which tested my patience, the later episodes justify this setup.

Watching this in 2025, after seeing several movies rich in twists and themes, the storyline may seem somewhat cliché. However, the way this cliché is presented makes it enjoyable. The action scenes are well done and engaging. While the plot twists are commendable, they do not exceed expectations.

The voice acting is strong for each character, and the animation is impressive for its time. The music is also good. I didn't realize this anime had prequel and sequel movies, but I'm eager to check them out since the series hooked me by the end.

In conclusion, I really enjoyed this anime. I would recommend it to anyone, especially those who are new to anime or looking for a mini-series.

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.
