Blood+

Type: Anime & Manga
Status: Anime - Complete (50 episodes)     Manga - Complete

Premise: This is the story of Saya, a girl like any other girl if you were to ask her except that she is unable to remember anything about herself beyond the last 2 years. Her happy life is shattered after being attacked by a creature known as a Chiropteran and she is plunged into the war she has forgotten that has plagued her life for the last 200 years.

Thoughts: This title is rather interesting in that it takes a new twist on a clasic vampire storyline, blurring it to an extent to be almost unrecognizable. To be hones not a gem but worth a look into it for an interesting storyline and well implemented animation and dubbing.

Prose: Well dubbed and animated, main adversary is scarily twisted and interesting storyline that intertwines real life events with a dark twist.

Cons: Sometimes tends to drag on with the "poor me" storyline, but rely it was required in the end.

-Notes: Fully dubbed! I would suggest reading the manga only after completing the television series, they tend to be side stories that require a certain familiarity to understand. Also I hear there is a full length animated movie for this (unconfirmed) as well as a live action (I hate when they do that), will look into it and report back.

7.5/10          (By the end of this the family tree will make you want to cry)
