Saya, the last true vampire, battles the bloodthirsty demons attacking an American base in Japan during the Vietnam War. Much of the story takes place during the late afternoon and evening, and the artists use shadows, reflections, and light with exceptional skill: the look of the film is more interesting than the underdeveloped story. Saya wields a deadly sword and pursues her foes with chilling ferocity, but she's silent and sullen and fails to develop as a character: the viewer has no idea how she views her deadly occupation. Albeit a visually striking film, this dark, violent work fails to live up to its billing as "Japan's first fully digital animated feature film": the three-dimensional objects and effects are digital, but the two-dimensional characters are hand-drawn. Nor is the film really "from the creators ofGhost in the Shell."Bloodcame out of a group thatGhostdirector Mamoru Oshii organized to encourage young talent, but he didn't direct it. And at 48 minutes, it's very short for a feature, although this edition includes a rambling 21-minute making-of film and a 3-minute trailer. It seems unlikely thatBlood"will transform Japanese animation," but other artists may use its visual style to tell more compelling stories with better-developed characters. Unrated; suitable for ages 17 and up for profanity, brief nudity, and considerable violence.--Charles Solomon
I hope this is the last vampire There is better vampire flicks out there. To be honest this is the worst one I ever saw. The first problem has to be the animation. Rarely does animation play a factor with me, because if the animation is great but the story and characters are weak, then the animation is the least factor. But the artwork in blood is so ugly, its seriously painful on the eyes. Those have to be the ugliest characters I have ever seen. The character development and plot was very weak due to the movies length. The action scenes were nothing special. There's lots of blood and some gory deaths. However I would say at that the most this is good for a rental. If you must see this, then you should purchase this as cheap as possible. Nobody should pay more than 5 bucks for this. If you want to check some anime vampire anime. Then I recommend these way before this.Hellsing, Vampire Hunter D and Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust.
still has a hold on me Amazing. Although it's shortness does not allow for in-depth character developement, the sensation from really immersing yourself in this movie is phenomenal. You can almost feel the main character so intensely that in such a short ammount of time, her persona is able to cause such a significant impact on the viewer which characters in other works take seasons and a plethora of gimmicks to accomplish.Mediocre Hmm... lets see first the good points...
Quasi interesting. Promising plot, Doesn't take long to get into the action.
Now the bad.
Short, Little plot development or background. Horrible voice overs. Even the japanese voice overs are horrible. Medicore artwork. This show mostly rides on the vampire stigma, japanese language and gore. None of which is enough to make it a good show.
