A Major Disappointment

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Commenting first on the art, this series is luscious. The colors are vibrant and moodsetting throughout the episodes. Detail is everything and Blood Plus has it in spades. If looked at purely for graphics, this is one of the few truly gorgeous animes out at this time.From a plot stand point, the series faithfully follows the characters superbly inre their development as time passes. There really aren't any gimmicks or quick shots. Character personalization, which is often lacking in many animes, is delivered here. Episode to episode, they reveal depths undreamt of when the characters are initially revealed. Chills and goosebumps abounded when I watched for the first time.For me, this was an anime that was enjoyable the first time through and definitely has the ability to be watched over and over. Each time, new levels are revealed as you focus on different emotions brought to the table in a lush and thought provoking manner.Watch it for the psychology or watch it for the shallow surface which covers the true depths. This is not an anime that disappoints. I absolutely loved it!

I've seen the entire series (subbed) of Blood +.I discovered that a series existed, and after loving 'Blood - The Last Vampire', I had to find 'Blood +'. I di find it! First off, it's best not to compare the series directly to the feature, at least not right away.I admit, it takes a while to start, to the point where you think nothing is ever going to happen! You actually feel like shouting at Saya "C'Mon! Get a move on!". However, it does eventually start, and from there on it's a story of twists and turns, though never really any that shock or surprise. There are a few interesting sub-plots to follow, that fill in the background for the series and give it a more three dimensional feel rather than it being all about Saya, but at the same time is linked to her.Sometimes I felt like I couldn't connect with the characters, where I should be emotional, I found that I wasn't bothered about them, not really. Saying that, perhaps some of the emotion was lost in translation through reading the subtitles...I do look forward to a good dub. Yes, true anime fans can still like dubs!! The soundtrack is very nice too, unique music that gives each series it's own feel, music that fits well with the mood.It's well worth watching, you just have to get past the first 8-9 eps without giving up on it!

I fell in love with the movie Blood: the last vampire..as most of you know I'm sure its the series is a continuation from that movie. I loved the movie from the first time i watched it. Then...when i found out there was a series to go along with it i was ecstatic!! I was so happy that i immediately bought the first 4 volumes (episodes 1-33) I loved the series so much that i practically watched all four volumes in two days. (lol) The series is action-packed and has an amazing storyline. If you love action-packed anime...with sort of a hinted romance you'll love this. I highly, highly recommend this series to any anime fan. And there are some rumors of Blood: the last vampire being remade in 2007. So cross your fingers and hope that its true. **moonslaughter**

Saya is a mysterious girl that doesn't know her past . As she regains her memory, Saya discovers most of her "life", not true. Can't wait to see episode 3! New to anime? I recommend the 2001 release, "Blood: The Last Vampire". Its shows what the best of anime is all about, and you meet Saya (vampire anti heroine) for the first time. She's a warrior like Kill Bill , ala "Bladette". It's still not clear what the relationship is between Saya, and the U.S. Miltarys' Black Ops Squad. I want to see the origins of this character , that seems to be where they're going. So far so good. The biggest surprise of all was the music production. Academy Award Winner, Hans Zimmer (Gladiator)! There are brilliant performances by a cellist that provides amazing musical depth to one of the main characters in this series. This one is a winner!
