Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
Beanbioca As Good As It Gets
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
Irishchatter I swear at the end of this anime, you get chills everywhere when people start to get killed by monsters who were caused by the "nice" sneaky coffee man Fumito. Like Princess Monokoe, this is at least of the most gory animes out there that I have ever watched! Saya is pretty much the baddest b*tch throughout the series. I like that she has changed her good girl attitude from the beginning of this series into such a strong serious warrior behaviour. You do expect surprises when it comes to personality changes in characters especially in anime!I really can't wait to watch Blood-C: The Last Dark and see Saya beat Fumitos ass for being such a sneaky lil b**tard to her lol
sohaibkhandon Gory anime with starrt 2 3 episodes uninteresting but story lives upto the point that u want to keep on watching this fantastic anime. An indeed clifff hanger ending but i heard that theres a movie that continues. An awesome anime in my perspective and opinion
butlerwm 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.
arorashadow_2003 I will start out by saying I haven't seen anything related to the Blood Franchise until now. Blood-C is a collaboration between Production I.G and manga team CLAMP which is where my interest to see this came from. Unfortunately the series suffers what I both like and hate about CLAMP. Blood-C in the end proves to be only a bloody and violent mismatch.Blood-C for the most part doesn't skip out on the action, it's very violent and very bloody however where it really lacks is in the storyline. CLAMP besides their unusual noodle art CLAMP's signature style is also well known for cute romance stories involving cute girls and cute looking boys. For the Blood franchise I can't tell if you it's appropriate, however I can tell you as far as this story goes any scenes with implied romance lag horribly. That is the apex of the problems with Blood-C is the ridiculous pacing problems and a seeming inability to build an atmosphere and keep it. The kind of cuteness worked for Cardcaptor Sakura and even Tsubasa Chronicle and even XXXHolic, but for some reason for a series like this, it feel very out of place.The first five episodes are a joke of how much they abuse this cute girl version of Saya with her walking to school, singing and eating sweets then going off to hunt monsters at night and returning soaked in blood. Rinse and repeat you will find this series growing stale very fast even if you are a patient viewer. With each episode you question Saya's competence to be a fighter against these supernatural beasts and it's even more egregious in the eight episode where a monster appears in the school yard and she stands there doing nothing, while her classmates get slaughtered left and right.The monster fights provide some excellent action and animation, gallons of blood and a little scariness but like so much of the story lacks any good suspense. Much of it has CLAMP's finger prints so glaringly over it that it's a gaudy series. Great animation and great music but a very lackluster story. For sure not one of CLAMP's better works and certainly not one of I.G's shining series either.
