I like this anime ! It was so mysterious and bloody and the characters were so strange . I watched all 12 episodes in one day because each episode made me want to know what will happen at the end and all episodes were so interesting (except episode8) , specially I enjoyed episode 11 and 12 !
But I should tell you something : it wasn't the best anime I've ever watched and I don't recommend it because it's just good for wasting time and there are many better anime that you can find them in "most popular" and watch them !
sorry for my bad English ! (show less)

Note, this review is meant for people who never really watch any of the BLood series before. Because my viewpoints may be different from yours, in fact, it might be different if I even watched Blood +, which I haven't. So basically this is the first time BLOOD review for those who are on edge on whether or not to watch it.
Story: None, what-so-ever, literrally. For the first couple of eps, the only thing we know is that Saya has some sort of power used to kill these things called Elder Barins? (not sure if I spelled Barins right) We don't get any backstory to the Barins, or Saya. Whenever something interesting happens, Saya's father always makes her forget or basically ignores her questions...which doesn't really help with the plot. Basically its just a girl trying to live a normal life, pitted up against the most random of creatures. Now, outside the conflict, its just basically random daily life stuff going on, and I mean random, they'll talk about the most random of things, which kinda gets irritating. But honestly, if you're still unsure, just start watching at ep 6 because that's when things get really interesting (trust me). Not giving away spoilers but some of her friends (not saying who) do get killed by these monsters or actually team up with them to go on a sensless killing spree, which in results forces Saya to kill the not-mentioned friend. After that the monsters start appearing more frequently wherever Saya is, especially at her school, which is where ep 8 is. Which honestly brings to the question that we all want to know, how is Saya going to protect her classmates when she's fighting off this monster that they all see (in fact a lot of them are getting killed in the process)
Dialogue:...the character personalities are as flat as a coke left out all day a hot Texas Summer. They really have no distinct personality. Which as mentioned before, leads to dull conversations. Even the conversations during the battle are somewhat dull and confusing.
Animation: FUCKING GREAT!!! Okay, you may think that this is less bloody than Blood Plus...but just wait until they release the uncensored version of this because starting at ep 6 and up, all of the fights are censored...somehow something tells me if it was uncensored then I was be mortally scarred just judging by the noises and brief glimpses of extreme blood splatter.
Entertainment: Um...really I would say boring. But there's just enough entertainment to have you wanting to watch the next ep just to see if they reveal the plot at all, which is the main reason why I still watch, hoping that the plot will be revealed eventually.
So in all, I actually don't hate this show and its one of my favorite. I'm just saying that obviously they're making up the fact taht there isn't much of a story by awesome fight scenes. I respect CLAMP for everything they've done, I just hope that Blood-C turns out better in the future and gets a 26 ep season. (show less)

This review is after finally reaching the seventh episode in this series. Firstly, CLAMP happens to be one of my favorite animators, so when I saw that this was made by CLAMP, I wanted to give it a shot. Secondly, I'll have to admit that I didn't know this was following the Blood+ franchise; I was assuming it was just something new that CLAMP was doing and the name just happened to be Blood-C. But even so, I was willing to patiently wait a few episodes before I stopped watching it and I'm glad I did.

Blood-C is frustratingly slow in the first several (I'll say several because even though some things were revealed in previous episodes, it wasn't enough to spark an interest) episodes, but the seventh episode finally gave the "hint" that I needed to try and watch the next episode. Just as some reviewers thought, I was very skeptical with the Protagonist because she seemed too much like an air-head, but I'm beginning to think that something may take a twist in the plot soon and will explain most of everything that leads up till now.

The one thing I can definitely say: Don't give up on this anime; I plan on sticking it out and watching the rest because I'm finally excited to see what might happen next and I think that CLAMP will finally give me another story to add to my collection. (show less)

Authors note:
Hmm, Well it's only 2 episode so far. But I'm unsure about this one.. It's supposed to be a new "blood" series, but thus far as far as I can tell, the only thing it shares in common with the original movie or even the follow up series is the fact the main characters name is Saya. Personally, It's not a bad anime, It's just calling it a "blood" series is odd because is strays to far away from what "Blood: the last vampire" was.

*shrugs*

On with the show.

review:
First the story isn't really original, Good guy/girl fights monsters. It's to predictable. We'll get a few episodes of these random life/fight stuff. Then it'll take a "plot turn". Ergo first season of bleach. Now I'm not saying that it's a bad story, it's not. It just doesn't really work for a supposed "blood" series as I said. What happened to Saya's blood killing them and her being one of/the last "queen" or "original"? that's my point. Next point, The animation is good, I have no complaints about that, I like the blood splatter personally :D. All in all as far as entertainment goes, It doesn't lack entertainment value. Seeing Saya fall on her face after 10 steps is rather amusing.

So, to sum it all up. Blood-C is rather a good anime, As long as you view it objectively and aren't to hooked up on the original movie and the followup series(like me. lol.). (show less)
