Blood-C is a reimagining of the Blood franchise. The franchise is about a high school girl named Saya that has abilities and she fights monsters that feed on humans. Originally it was an animated movie called Blood: The Last Vampire. It was set on an American Army base during the Vietnam war. It was a decent movie. Then came an excellent 50 episode anime series that was a sequel to the original movie and takes place in modern times. Then last year they made a very good live action movie of the Blood: The last vampire movie and it was set on an american base in the Vietnam War era.
That brings us to the new series called Blood-C. I was so looking forward to this series and never in all my years of anime watching have I been so disapointed. It had a cast of likeable characters and yet there was no plot development for most of the series. The 1st 7-8 episodes consisted of Saya at school with friends like the show was a slice of life comedy series and then in the last few minutes of the episode they would throw in a gory battle scene (I guess to remind us we were watching Blood).
The last 4 episodes of the series explained what was going on but we were left with huge holes in the plot, no punishment for the main villian and a very unsatisfying conclusion. I was so mad I wanted to put my foot thru my monitor. For those of us that sat thru the series to the end it was like being really hungry and ordering pizza and when it gets delivered the box was empty.
