Blood +

I watched Blood + for one reason only GORE! I mean the name was Blood + for God sake's it just had to have gore. All I knew about Blood + was  it had vampires even thought I was kinda sick of vampires because of this whole vampire fab we are having right now because of the whole raging screaming fan girls of Twilight. This isn't your typical vampire story it doesn't revolve around the vampire & human love cliche which I despise ever so, It's been done way too many fucking times to ever been turned into an original story they seriously should've just left it at Dracula.


Like I said this isn't your typical vampire story it is very intricate and a storyline you probably never experienced before. The story doesn't revolve around a blood thirsty character vampire that has no remorse for human life because of it's primal instincts instead it follows a sensitive.. uhhh? sweet girl named Saya who has no recollection of her terrible past and is suddenly retaken back into her old life to find out she is the only who can stop these creatures named chiropteran. Saya is very innocent and refuses to fight in the beginning of the story which makes it kinda slow and boring at first but the more you watch the more you get enticed in the story making you want to know more about who Saya is and what her past held making some very big character developments which is probaly the best character developments I ever seen. Saya makes some major changes in her character and is a totally different person towards the end then she was in the beginning.


 The fighting is badass there are some epic fights in this anime from gun fights to sword fights to creatures of the night tearing each other apart. Most of the fighting is done by an government organization called the Red Shield which was put together to stop a vampire named Diva and the creatures called chiropteran. Saya the only hope in stopping Diva and the chiropteran. Why is she the only one? Well her blood can kill these creatures. How you ask? Saya has this very badass sword which pricks her fingers and the blood just flows down the blade making every slash a killing blow probably the coolest superpower I ever seen. All the fights are pulse pounding the camera angles keep you in the action at all time never leaving a dull moment.




  The animation is superb. The character designs and creature designs were original which kept me going. The backgrounds were very well illustrated and the anime had so much life in its surroundings. I can't tell you about the English voice-acting because I watch the whole thing in Japanese which sounded pretty good. The soundtrack is also very well done and always added more to the moment.


 All in all the anime is a must see! Even though its slow in the beginning the plot development goes smoothly. 50 episodes long so you have much to enjoy. Well that does it for this review see you next time!

  1. "The character designs and creature designs were original"

    Yeap. Now that you mention it. Originality was definitely one of BLood+'s strong traits.

    Love this series!

    Saya was so powerful. Yet fragile at the same time.

  2. Oh, Ive seen this one. Such an outstanding anime. It has damn everything. Drama, action, horror, love... I remember watching like 10 episodes per day (at the time I wasn't working hehe :D). When it ended it left a big gap. I still have to find one horror anime to beat it.
