Blood-C

Peaceful schoolgirl by day, fearsome monster slayer by night, Saya Kisaragi is leading a split life. Equipped with a ceremonial sword given to her by her father for sacred tasks, she vanquishes every monster who dares threaten her quiet little village. But all too soon, Saya's reality and everything she believes to be true is tested, when she overhears the monsters speak of a broken covenant—something she knows nothing about. And then, unexpectedly, a strange dog appears; it asks her to whom she promised to protect the village, curious as to what would happen if she were to break that promise. Tormented by unexplainable visions and her world unraveling around her, we travel with Saya through her struggle to find a way to the truth in a village where nothing is as it seems.

Blood-C is one of those shows you don’t just watch, you feel. It starts like a harmless slice of life, soft and almost fake in its calm, then slowly rips that world apart until you’re left staring at pure chaos. It’s beautiful, cruel, and hypnotic all at once. The real heart of it all is the MC Saya Kisaragi. She isn’t just a protagonist, she’s a contradiction in motion. Her politeness, her smiles, her almost mechanical perfection… all of it hides a deep, aching confusion. When the truth hits, she doesn’t simply break, she awakens. There’s tragedy in her strength and elegance in her rage. ... Saya is written like a mirror of pain: distant, but too human to ignore. Visually, Blood-C is art through brutality, every drop of blood, every cut, every silent pause serves rhythm and emotion. It’s not about realism; it’s about impact. It’s flawed on paper, but emotionally? It’s flawless. Blood-C is the kind of series that doesn’t beg to be understood, it demands to be felt. And if you do, it’s not just good. It’s a 10.

Mixed Feelings

Blood-C is an anime that unfortunately struggles to surprise due to its repetitive structure. Each episode roughly follows the same pattern: a fairly relaxed yet mysterious atmosphere, followed by a fight at the end of the episode. While this structure might work for some, it ends up feeling predictable and lacking freshness over time.

However, the anime does have some positives. First, the choice of a female protagonist is refreshing. It stands out from the usual shonen heroes and is a nice change of pace. Additionally, the enemies have rather original designs, which adds a bit of novelty to the anime’s world.

The main character is pretty ... interesting, and you’ll likely grow attached to her as the series progresses. However, it’s unfortunate that the supporting characters lack depth. They often feel like anime clichés, one-dimensional and underdeveloped, which detracts from the overall experience.

The animation isn’t particularly impressive, but it’s also not a major issue. The movements are fluid and well-animated, which is a positive, though the overall aesthetic doesn’t stand out much. As for the mysterious aspect of the story, it does manage to keep viewers engaged by teasing intriguing elements throughout, which makes you want to see more.

The biggest problem with Blood-C lies in its length. As mentioned earlier, the episodes are repetitive. The plot advances in small increments, but there are too many unnecessary battles that drag out the series without adding much. This makes the overall experience a bit redundant and slows down the pacing of the story.

However, the conclusion is satisfying and provides an ending that doesn’t disappoint, which is important, as many series leave a bad taste with a rushed or unsatisfactory finale.

All in all, Blood-C is an anime that passes the time but isn't essential viewing. It's the kind of series to watch when you’re looking for something simple, without too many expectations, but also without expecting anything groundbreaking.
6/10 - Passes the time

Not gonna lie, I went into Blood-C expecting something solid. I’m usually all for gore and intense fight scenes, and yeah, those parts actually delivered—especially toward the end. The final stretch was the only time it really got my attention, mainly because of the chaos, the bloodbath, and how brutal things got.

But man, everything before that? Just a struggle to sit through. The story felt all over the place, like it was trying to be deep or mysterious but ended up being confusing and flat. I found myself skipping through most of the convos, just waiting for something to happen. Honestly, I don’t even fully ... get what the plot was trying to do, and I gave up trying after a while.

The animation didn’t help either—some of it looked rough, even lazy in parts. Which is a shame, because the concept had potential, and the main character was actually kind of interesting. If they focused more on that and less on... whatever the first 80% of the show was, this could’ve been a banger.

In the end, I watched it for the fights and the gore, and that’s about it.
