Blood Lad

Staz Charlie Blood is a powerful vampire who rules the Eastern district of Demon World. According to rumors, he is a bloodthirsty and merciless monster, but in reality, Staz is just an otaku obsessed with Japanese culture and completely uninterested in human blood. Leaving the management of his territory to his underlings, Staz spends his days lazing around, indulging in anime, manga, and games.

When Fuyumi Yanagi, a Japanese girl, accidentally wanders through a portal leading into the demon world, Staz is overjoyed. But just as he is starting to feel an unusual attraction to her, his territory is attacked, resulting in Fuyumi's untimely death. She turns into a wandering ghost and the crestfallen Staz vows to resurrect her as this would mean being able to travel to the human world, something he has always dreamed of.

Blood Lad follows Staz and Fuyumi, soon joined by the spatial magician Bell and the half-werewolf Wolf, as they travel to find a magic that can bring humans back to life.

Honestly a great anime to watch as a fist time a anime watcher. Its a bit funny, lude, and serious with characters you'll actually care about by the end for the most part. It's short and to the point and doesn't really have any filler. The world building is pretty decent and how the world works is explained pretty well. I've wanted this twice and the firt time I was a little disappointed with the ending however the second time watching was better since I understood the story a bit more plus it had been a few years since I'd watched it.

Mixed Feelings

If the anime was completed & continued, Blood Lad would be a fun & entertaining ongoing series as the characters, world, interactions & fights are solid but sadly there is only one season and most of it by the end of the final episode was set-up and worldbuilding.

It lacked answers to questions, payoffs to events and overall there wasn't a conclusion to anything that was presented from the shows start.

If the show recieves another season by some chance, I think it would be worth the watch for those who want story and a fun world but as it stands you should only watch it for ... the jokes/references. Something that you could do on YouTube and save yourself from watching 10 20+minute episodes. Which is a damn shame.

Definitely has the ability to be a good show but the pacing is horrible. So many events happen in the first like 3 episodes that everything feels like a fever dream. The characters are fleshed out, but super quickly, to the point where there's no real point to fleshing them out in the first place. Like there's no lead up to what's supposed to be big emotional moments and they all fall flat cuz we barely get the hang of the two main characters ecause we're trying to pay attention to all the shit going on around them. Things just keep happening and you're just ... like okay okay okay and there isn't any like focus on a scene so no stakes are ever built its like I'm reading a wikipedia summary of a show not watching a show, you know what I mean?

That said, the plot is definitely okay. Like the idea of a girl popping into the underworld, and then a vampire helping her get her body back is the whole premise of the show and it's pretty good-- it's not a half baked idea, it's that the story itself is paced so quickly that hell one piece would've become half baked at this pacing. I'm sorry, I know I'm focusing on the pacing issues a lot but by and far fixing that probably would've made the show passable.
