Although I have to agree that this film was very short and rushed but honestly, you will love the action in this! If you are the person like myself who loves vampires, you would find it enjoyable and excited on what you want to happen next!It can be creepy at times like for example, a person becomes a vampire but before they do,they talk quietly to themselves as if they were planning on how they will get their victims successfully. You really would get a lump in your throat!I think Saya is so brave for putting up with these monsters and trying to save the world from them. She really is such a little warrior, I'm glad I got a chance to get go know her. I hope there's other good movies like this!

I saw this movie one day on Encore by chance and I say this is what got me started into anime. Sure the story's simple(some vampire chick cutting other vampires called chiropterans down to pieces) and it's really freakin' short, but I found a lot to enjoy about it. The animation is nice and slick and the action is well done. And of course, it's pretty bloody. But why else would they call it "Blood"? They even made a spin-off called "Blood+" which is also very good. Unfortunately it'll now get skewered into probably another live-action disaster. I saw the trailer for the adaption and I'll tell you, "Dragonball: Evolution" looked Oscar worthy compared to it. So savor the sweet, sweet flavor of "Blood" while it still lasts,cause you all know Hollywood's gonna destroy it.

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!

This movie has nice looking vampires and action but very little story, build-up and development in itThis is a 3D-CGI animated movie in which, the backgrounds and everything else is photo-realistic looking, while the characters are still obvious animated ones, done in a typical Japanese anime style. It's an interesting combination that not always works out too well though. The contrast between the drawn characters and the background is often too big, which makes it in parts work out distracting.This originally was supposed to be the middle part of a 3 part series. But due to budget reasons only this middle part got made. It's unfortunately all too obvious that this was a middle part. None of the characters and events get properly introduced and build-up. It makes the story too much of a disjointed one. The movie is also way too short for some proper development and build-up of course.Now the story mostly doesn't make sense, simply because you don't know what and why things are happening. Guess the concept still showed some serious potential but I guess we'll never know how good this actually could had been if all 3 parts had been made instead of just this one. Well maybe in a way we'll still know soon how much potential this movie and concept had, since a live action version of this is current in post-production.The vampires are all good and scary looking. Many horror movies can learn from this. The action is also good and so is the gore. Yes, this movie is really filled with tons of blood but all of this of course can't fully make up for the lack of a proper- and properly developed script.Its short running time is action filled enough to consider this a watchable movie but yet the movie is too short to consider it a really good one as well.5/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/
