Blood-C – First Impressions


Again, the first two episodes of Blood-C in a single post, so yeah. To those who will try to connect it with Blood +, don’t do it. The series is just one of the spin-offs of Production IG’s Blood: The Last Vampire movie and the only thing common with these three is that they have a girl named Saya who is fighting monsters. Each Blood series stand on its own so watch the series as its own. Anyways, we have an extremely cute high school girl named Saya in who guess what, fights monsters.


The first two episodes never properly establish on why Saya must fight the monsters. The only clear connection on why she must fight them is that her mom fought them once before they killed her and that’s about it. Another thing that bugs me is that why isn’t Saya’s father fighting the monsters instead of her since well, all he needs to do is slash them with the sacred sword? They never properly establish that point in the story! Hopefully, they would properly explain on why Saya is the only one who can fight the monsters during the course of the series. But hey, at least I have my bloody monster fights.

As for the characters, Saya is so cute! To those who don’t know, I have a fetish for girls wearing glasses, plus points if they are cute and clumsy… and Saya fits well with those descriptions! Also, I love her cheery personality, same goes with her personality while fighting monsters. Its like her face morphed as she fight monsters that in one angle, she looked like Watanuki of xxx/Holic! Another thing that I noticed is that Fumito, the café owner kinda looks like Sakura’s father, the two boys from school looked like Yukito, and Touya respectively, the three characters that I mentioned by the way are from Cardcaptor Sakura. So the dog who is guarding the temple might be Keroberos?


Overall, the use of the school setup made Saya quite a believable character. Her having two cute twins as friends is also a bonus. Lastly, the animation was quite good, and that’s about it. For the plot, the only thing that is properly established is that Saya fights monsters and that there is something weird with the dog guarding in the temple and that Saya has dreams of seeing a “light.” Hopefully, they were able to clear things up as the series progressed.
