Strike the Blood

Does this show have complex and interesting characters? No. Does it have groundbreaking new plot lines never before seen? No. Is it still really enjoyable? To me, it was. I had a lot of fun with this show, even if it was only enjoyable on the surface. Sometimes I just want to watch something with pretty colors, fan service, and fun action scenes. This show fits those 3 things pretty well. Not everyone will like it, and I completely understand why. I really liked this show and I still have some problems with it. At the beginning, the main character ,Koujou, can't remember why he was turned into a vampire, and it was never explained. That drove me nuts. Doesn't help that I'm fairly sure there were other things like this in the show. Also the structure of the plot does start to test your patience with its repetitiveness, as it does not change the entire show. Thankfully, I don't feel like it dragged it out too long though. So, is the show great? Absolutely not. It's just enjoyable and if you need something mindless, then this isn't a bad choice.
