Product Description:
Saya Otonashi, a seemingly normal high school student, suffers from amnesia and she can't remember the past year of her life. One day, after a man appears and gives her a katana sword, her destiny begins to be revealed. Soon she finds herself fighting the latest threat to humanity – Chiropteran monsters, ravenous immortal creatures that can change their form, disguising themselves as human beings.

Based on the feature Blood: The Last Vampire (2000), Blood+ (2005) combines elements of the magical girl, vampire and biomedical experiments out-of-control genres. In the original film, Saya, the last true vampire, battled the bloodthirsty demons attacking an American base in Japan during the Vietnam War. This Saya has lived for more than 100 years, but remembers little of her past. The magical guardian Hagi appears and presents Saya with a special sword: she must cut herself and allow her blood to flow into channels in its blade. Only her blood can destroy the artificially created monsters known as Chiropterans. The sinister conglomerate Cinq Fleches who created the Chiropterans is pitted against the secret society the Red Shield, whose members include Hagi and Saya. Blood flows freely during the ensuing battles, escapes, and flashbacks, as Saya whines, fusses, and cowers while her friends get stomped. The filmmakers arbitrarily change the rules of the story as it stumbles along. The characters repeatedly say that only Saya can kill a Chiropteran, but near the end of the first season, the hooded figures called the Schiff appear, who hack Chiropterans to pieces with their swords. As Saya is a vampire, she needs blood to stay alive, but she never bites anybody and spent years in a human family without seeking blood (or having problems with silver and garlic). A sixth disc is devoted entirely to interviews with the filmmakers. Unrated, suitable for ages 16 and older: graphic violence, violence against women, nudity, alcohol and tobacco use, ethnic stereotypes) --Charles Solomon

Blood+ avoids the problems many anime series have by having a plot that is intriguing and characters that develop through the series and who you genuinely care about. It also actually has a good ending! If you watch a lot of anime, you know how many series do not have satisfying endings. The characters in Blood+ do not seem like the hundredth version of a stock character from other series; they're unique and complex. The animation is beautiful and ... Read More

Beautiful to look at, pleasant to listen to and a chore to get through this is one of the more overrated action series to see its release on this side of the Pacific. Action fans are going to find more enough battles within this set to fill their quotas but fans who are seeking a story that has a bit more substance or emotional impact will find their patience long gone before they find their fix.

First of all I have to say that being a huge fan of the movie this is based on is what brought me to the series, which I didn't even know existed until just a few months ago. In the beginning I was extremely enthused about seeing where this series would take the story from where the film left off, unfortunately that enthusiasm was short-lived.
I love the original movie the series is based on, but this follow up to the film does not do it justice whatsoever. I understand that whenever ... Read More

I expected just another horror movie; something along the lines of Blood Trinity. But what I got was anything but. Blood+ is a very serious anime; it asks the serious questions that all great literature must address; topics such as love, free will, and, good and evil. One of my favorite things about Blood+ is the dialogue. Blood+ has absolutely amazing dialogue that comes out as being very realistic and natural. While this is not a comedic anime, it does have plenty of well placed wit and sarcasm ... Read More

This is one anime series you don't want to miss. It's worth finding the set and getting it, since you'll be hooked and sorry after buying one DVD and having to wait for the rest. Worth getting with the prequel movie (Blood: Vampire Hunter) even though the movie is half a click lower in quality IMO.
The one drawback to getting this series is, as of yet, I'm unable to get the final 25 episodes on DVD. If they come available, someone shoot me an email.
