Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
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.
dei_5791 I watched this movie out of curiosity, because it reminded me of Blood+. I notice they pay very, very much attention to detail. There are some scenes, like the beginning part with the train, that I was amazed by. It was so realistic, so detailed. But later in the movie, when Saya was staring at the nurse lady, why was she doing that? At the end, when they find out Saya was a vampire, why was she killing the monsters? That's why I didn't like it much. There was no explanation of what was going on. Really.BUT, if you really want to know what's going on, I suggest you watch the anime series Blood+. It's a lot like Blood: The Last Vampire. I think it's the same story. There's a lot of explanation in it, and it IS on Netflix. ...Thanks for reading my worthless rant.
jenna-scull This movie is short for a reason... this movie was created as somewhat of an opening for two different shows... one of the same name and one called Blood+. This movie was not intended to be a massively long movie. It's a great film with a wonderful story and you can watch the Animes that go along with it to complete the story and you can follow the story of Saya some more. So please, take a breather bust out your laptop and a bowl of popcorn and watch the shows online as they have yet to be released on DVD.As for the movie, I found it quite well rounded and was pleasantly surprised when I found out that a few of the animators from the Ghost In the Shell (Stand Alone Complex) Series had drafted and backed some young guys to start this whole project up. It gives a much needed break from the raggedy vampire stories we hear now. And the best part of this whole thing is... that you get a fraction of the story and are kind of left hanging, which I see a lot of people had a problem with. But, let me assure you that you meet a lot of interesting and crazy characters later on in the Anime. So the point of this whole thing was to rave the movie and make sure everyone knew about the shows. I think I have done my job. Enjoy!
Enchorde Recap: On a school in an American military base in Japan, suddenly a girl, sent by a mysterious organisation, appears and starts to kill man-eating demons (that disguises themselves as pupils). After some fighting and an anticlimactic end fight, it ends.Comments: Why? How? Who? Those are the questions that never get answered in this movie. Those are also the questions that need to be answered if you are to have any success telling a story. You need to explain, at least to some small extent, give a hint, who the main character are, what they are doing and a reason why. You need to establish what or who the antagonists are. You can do this at the start at the movie, unravel it as it goes or reveal the shocking truth at the end. You need to answer those questions! If you don't, you get a real crappy story. This one did.The trivia section of this movie states: "This was originally supposed to be a three episode OAV series, but due to a lack of time and money, only the middle segment was animated and given theatrical distribution." This is about the only thing about the movie that makes sense, although it is not stated anywhere near the actual movie. Because my feeling was exactly that it felt like I had missed the beginning that established and explained the characters and the plot. And that there was no real ending. Which is exactly what seemed to have happened.The animation is interesting, switching between "normal" and 3D. Mostly the quality of the animation is good, most characters beautiful work. But what does that matter when the story is all but non-existent? Nothing.2/10
