Blood-C

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 finished seeing the Blood-C sequel movie just now as well, but the 12 episode anime itself... was something really bizarre and "despicably" special. It was too much even for me, and I love Gantz and Elfen Lied!!!

I was expecting it to be the next series after Blood+ knowing it was a spiritual sequel... However it turned out to be thematically and structurally something completely different... It functions a lot like a mixture of "When They Cry" + Gantz.

Only the lead girl Saya's name and "girl fighting monsters with sword" element is taken from the previous series, as this shows thrusts this new Saya (who is noticeably much more cuter, bustier and sexier than her previous version with her extremely hot Alexis Tipton voice), into a world that she seems to be suspiciously OK in.... Living happily.

Without spoiling, this anime tries to hide what it actually is and that's one of the most unsettling things about it.

Aside from the awesome and gorgeous action animation, sexy female characters, jump scenes and an insanely catchy and cool opening which make this anime maybe worth watching, the story is quite shallow and relies on shock value.

But only those who can handle extreme shifts in a shows themes. And I mean EXTREME are advised to watch it. I'm still not okay with its ending which just left me speechless and so empty inside...

Weird thing is I had previously seen the last episodes penultimate horrifying climax in Facebook video in 2020.... And i unwittingly ended up watching the anime itself so many years later... 7:49am 13.4.2025.

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.

Another entry to the Blood universe anime titles. Although they are all stand alone series, this title, like the others, has a main protagonist named Saya. They are each different, but have some of the same impotent character traits. This Saya, who is a very powerful warrior, will constantly have you yelling at your tv. "Why are you just standing there!? Do something!" was what my tv heard the most during this series. If it wasn't for the crazy gory action scenes (almost all of which are during Sayas standing around and watching sessions), this anime would be long forgotten as an entry to the Blood series. Blood+ was pretty terrible in the same aspect, but had a lot longer story. Whatever idiot Japanese writers thought people would enjoy watching the main protagonist stand around and watch people who they are supposed to protect get killed over and over again? To only kick it into gear after everyone is dead?! Lol. Stupid.

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.
