    What's with all the negativity?

    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.

    Good anime, ridiculous characters

    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.

    Not just another vampire anime

    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.

    very ENGROSSING sci-fi anime.

    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.

    Amazing, one of my fav anime's of all time

    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.

    • Trivia
      Originally Kenji Kawai and Yoko Kanno were asked by Production I.G. to do the music, but both of them refused because their scheduling conflicts. Since Mamoru Oshii is a great fan of Hans Zimmer, he asked the German composer who also couldn't accept the offer, but recommended his friend Mark Mancina and Zimmer stayed as music producer and also wrote some themes for the series, essentially both composers scored theatrical films from Walt Disney Animation Studios, Zimmer scored The Lion King (1994) whilst Mancina became a recurring composer and scored features such as Tarzan (1999), Brother Bear (2003), and Moana (2016).
