Τhe blood franchise is either hated or loved by the anime community. And while some of it's titles are not so strong like the Blood C anime and it's movie that came after, ''Blood the Last vampire'' is probably the movie that even non fans of the franchise liked. The story is indeed interesting and because is the first entry of the series you don't need to watch any of the other anime of the series in order to watch this. It introduces you to Blood universe resembling more on Blood plus's though than Blood C's. The concept is the same a girl named Saya is fighting a non-friendly to humans species named chiroptera. The movie is mostly a fight between her and those creatures so you expect only to see action, action and action. Which is exactly what this anime gives. So don't expect any deep story but an awesome fighting anime. The only thing I didn't like was the ending which was kinda rushed and the length of the movie which was too short, not even one hour long. The art was simply flawless it reminds us why Production IG is considered one of the best animation studios in Japan. With it's dim drawings the anime gets you right into the dark world of Blood and with it's flawless animation it delivers amazing action scenes and fights. The sound section was remarkable. This anime is mostly voiced in English because some of the heroes are supposed to be Americans. And while the Japanese voice actors have a terrible history about terribly spoken English in this anime the results are wonderful. The voice actors are speaking English so fluently that initially I thought that I was watching the English dub of the anime. From the protagonists to the sideshows, either in English or Japanese language all of the voice actors were amazing. This proves how professionally this anime was made in all of its sections. About the characters I can't say much because due to the anime's short length the characters have no time for development and whatsoever. But you won't watch this anime for it's characters anyway (we have blood+ for that) but for it's awesome fights, so I don't believe any serious damage was done there. And also David from Blood+ one of my favorite characters in anime was playing a big role there so I believe this was a really good reason to give in the character section an 8. Summarizing, ''Blood the Last Vampire'' was a really well-made anime, with a rather interesting story and amazing fights. Due to its really short length it's watched really easily and I don't believe that you will have a bad time watching it.
