Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Morbius Fitzgerald Okay, when it comes to anime I'm generally a fan of Yoshiaki Kawajiri and spin-offs from other live action films. So I bought this film because I really had high expectations for it. I wanted to see what would happen. This film could've been on par with the Vampire Hunter D series, I am that serious but the makers try everything to ruin the experience of Blood: The Last Vampire.Saya is a vampire hunter who looks like a young adult, she is called in to an American air base in Japan to hunt and kill vampires. A suicide occurs and it turns out that that is the work of vampires covering their tracks and its up to Saya, the last original vampire, to find and kill the vampire causing it.Now when it comes to ruining the experience of this film (yes, I'll get to that first) this is a vampire hunting film without explaining anything about the vampire lore they've set up. If they followed the traditional vampire lore, it would be okay but it doesn't. Both Saya and the vampire she's tracking are seen in direct sunlight, the "mutated vampires" have this "other form" and it looks like Karel Rupert Kroenon from Hellboy. Does it try to explain it? Nope.My other biggest complaint is the time limit. This film is only 40 minutes long. Now this wouldn't be so bad but I hear there is a TV show, (Of which I will check that out) Why not release this with the show? An average time limit for an action show is 40 minutes per episode.Onto what I liked, the animation is really well put together and has a nice organic flow-through, the voice acting had no faults and the story, while basic, is pretty well executed.So overall I'm giving this a 7/10. I really wanted to love this film but unfortunately, I couldn't get into it with the movie's two biggest problems glaring at the viewer. I'd say check this one out but if you're like me, don't expect too much.

Rectangular_businessman Very good anime film, even if it was too short, it had an incredibly good animation and a interesting story, with a great atmosphere, a lots of thrills and excitement.The main character is particularly interesting, being some sort of atypical anti-hero which is also likable and fascinating at the same time.Like "Hellsing", this short film managed to keep a good level between the tension, the thrill, the actions, and even some little bits of humor, with a wonderful animation quality and nice music.This film actually left wanting to see more about the story and the characters. Too bad that neither "Blood +" or the live-action movie had this level of quality. Anyway, this film is a must-see, specially for those viewers who enjoy mature and dark anime.

Billy_Crash Like the riveting "Ghost in the Shell", "Blood" is proof that visually stimulating anime and a solid story are as good - if not better - than any live action film.The story is simple, straightforward, yet solid. With minimal dialogue, the action speaks for itself and carries Saya's tale wonderfully.Many complain the movie is too short, and it is by general film standards, which dictate feature films should be nearly 80 minutes or more. Maybe the animators, whose work is bold, beautiful and brilliant, ran out of funds, but I'd like to think that the story was good enough to be told in a mere 48 minutes without shoehorning garbage into the tale as useless filler that would only detract from the narrative.This is clearly one of the best anime films of all time. Besides horror and vampire fans, it's a great movie for anyone who loves a quality driven story. Don't miss it. (In 2009, a live action version of "Blood" has been released. So far, the response has been exceptional, but I have yet to see the feature.)

AloysiusWeasley I just caught this on Sci-Fi's Ani-Monday, and it was a pretty cool piece of anime. They ran it for about 42 minutes, while according to several sites, the actual version runs 48-49 minutes, so obviously, stuff got cut. Luckily, it wasn't noticeable to me, though I'm sure I'll find out what was missed when I pick it up on DVD.All right, on to the movie! It's your basic vampire anime (no shortage of those), centered around a 'girl' named Saya. The powers-that-be that she works under set her up to infiltrate a school on an airbase, to investigate some recent killings there. That's your basic non-spoiler plot.The cons? As many have already said, it was very short. Extremely little in the way of explanation, back-story, or character development. No Hagi. :( The good stuff? The animation was of an interesting and quality style. The action and gore were definitely there, it definitely didn't drag.So why did I give it 7 stars? I've been a die-hard follower of Blood+ since it began airing in the U.S., which is the series which is set *after* the events of 'Blood: The Last Vampire'. Thus, I already know who Saya is, along with her 'handler' of sorts David, as well as what they are fighting.Bottom line? If you just watch this without seeing Blood+, it's just a cool little movie about vampires. However, if you first watch the series, it becomes an awesome bit of back-story; a view of Saya before the events of Blood+ (which you'll love if you watch Blood+, since flashbacks are limited to a scant handful of specific times). No Hagi, Diva, or Chevaliers, but this is a must-have, and much like an extra-long episode to enjoy and complete the collection.
