Blood: The Last Vampire (anime "movie")

(I'm glad it's the last one)

We'll start off with a sort of cool concept; one remaining vampire in the world (Saya) who fights off these vapmire-like creatures with a katana in a school girl uniform. It also has pretty damn good animation. Another cool feature is it's use of English and Japanese in different parts (A Japanese person in America) so we get the original Japanese version, just with subtitles in different parts. Where does this movie go wrong? Everywhere else. First of all, we have plot events that just don't even have any relevance. Saya's katana breaks and so she walks by a store that has one in the window and looks at it like she wants to steal it. Guess what? That katana's never seen again. Also theres cheesy poorly drawn relationships, like that of Saya and this nurse person she's trying to protect. It just doesn't have anything behind it. Also at the end (I'll put the following in italics to show a spoiler) when Saya almost kills of the last not-vampire, she feels a really un-necesary pity for it and it becomes good or something cheesy like that. Just don't waste you're time with Blood like I did. At least it's only fourty-five minutes... On a somewhat related note, the reason I end up giving stuff high ratings is because I usualy only read/watch stuff that gets reccomended to me that I think I would like. But when I read/see something like Blood, ill be make sure to get you to not watch it.


Rating: 4/10
