Story:
Even though I'm not a great vampire genre fan I liked the story of this anime. It has a nice build-up without leaving you guessing too much. The smooth development of the story and the nice cliffhangers keep you interested and because of there are only 12 episodes it's an easy to watch show. 9/10
Animation:
The animation style of Black Blood Brothers is a kind of cartoonish, but that really fits the story. This only goes for the shape of the characters, because there movements are fluent and mature. Especially the fights are done very nicely and makes you wanting more. In contrast to most vampire

At the beginning of this anime I didn't really get the story due some events that weren't explained properly. It took out a bit of the joy and even made me consider the drop out on this one. However.. after a couple of episodes I finally started to understand the story. I was able to connect the relations between the characters and DAMN I have to say, this was one well out thought anime!
After having seen all the episodes it made me realize 1 thing, I want more! The art of this anime reminds me kinda of some "classic" animes. In my opinion it told me ... Jun 24, 2008
Black Blood Brothers is by-far one of the best animes I've seen yet. Parts of it may have people confused, but by the end, it all makes sense and may have you going "wow"! The plot line is great, and it doesn't take too much away from the traditional vampire story which was kind off nice for once. I still have yet to figure out why this series is not very popular, it has something for everyone: fight scenes, romance, action and a few comedy scenes.

Black Blood Brothers was the best vampire animed show I have ever watch in my entire life!!! If you haven't seen this show and you love vampires like I do you really really really need to see this its got love, hate, violence, comedy, and most of all action!!! Take it from me once you see this amazing show you will want it to never end 'cause there are only 12 episodes in the making and I've seen all of them!!!

I hate that Twilight is mentioned every time vampires come up but if ur a Twilight hater please don't be discouraged.
I found Black Blood Brothers truly wonderful, with a meaningful ED theme, and intricate characters. The ending could've been better as for me it left something to be desired but it was truly a good series. Dec 5, 2009
Black Blood Brothers or BBB for short..is my FAVORITE vampire anime other than Hellsing,the art and animation is wonderful,and the plot is as well.And,FUNimation has once again impresses me on the English dubbed voice actors.
Although,I like the Japanese dub...equally...^^ Overall 10(Masterpiece) -Delaney Apr 28, 2012
I felt that the story in this was good and the characters on the whole to be strong and unique.
i personally have a strong dislike for Mimiko on the whole i find her interaction in the story to be more of a detractor than anything else. but on the whole this is a very good vampire anime and i would watch it again. Apr 19, 2009
Hong Kong in 1997. Happened all of the sudden the "KOWLOON ORIGIN" of the wild event. Hong Kong fell into a state of near-destruction. So far only appeared in the story of the vampire has become known to the public the reality of the so-called "CRISIS KOWLOON" is referring to this time.

BBB seemingly sets out to do one thing - entertain - and it certainly achieves that goal. There's not a huge amount of depth to this, no particularly deep characterisation or complex theme's and moral shades. It’s just a cool setting with cool characters doing cool things, and I can really appreciate that. You can sit down in front of BBB and your guaranteed to be entertained for the next few hours. And at the end of the day that’s really all one can ask from a media product. I'd suggest getting the first episode and watching that, if after the first five minutes your

Vampires live openly amongst humans except for in a “special zone,” but some of the most dangerous ones called Kowloon Children are seeking to infiltrate the area. Enter Mochizuki Jirou, a badass vampire with a great backstory.
Right off the bat, I'm going to say that Jirou is by far the coolest anime character I've ever seen. Think about that for a second; there are a lot of pretty awesome characters out there, and this guy is the most awesome (in my opinion). He's also stuck carting around his little brother Kotaro, and their relationship is really cute. The city-building and vampire-rules building in BBB are ... Dec 4, 2010
To be very honest, though I personally find vampires rather fascinating, I rarely come across any medium comprising vampires satisfactory. That said, I was honestly apprehensive about risking another vampire anime. After having watched it, however, I must say: Among anime, I'd have to admit Black Blood Brothers is, by far, one of the better ones I've seen.
The story was also a definite strong point. It's covered in a refreshingly different style, with the first few minutes of each episode recounting the original events which led to the current situation. The characters were also well made, with, for a ... Nov 13, 2011
Yes, everything was awesome in this anime. Being a fan of vampires when they're done right, I instantly hooked onto this show. Only to find out it's not even finished yet. Which leaves me hanging. . . . And I don't like being left like that!!!
What I Liked: Zelman Clock. That is all. But, seriously, the characters were amazing. Although the relationship between Jiro and his younger brother wasn't the closest I'd ever seen, it was still touching. And I will blow up like a stick of dynomite if Mimiko and Jiro don't get together. I didn't care AT ALL about Jiro's background. Honestly, I ... Jun 29, 2011
Story: I found the story to be just the perfect blend of complex and simplistic. It's not the typical vampire themed Anime. There's plenty of great action, without the typical gore of vampire themes. I found the story to be less predictable, but it has tons of information in just 12 episodes.
Art: I found the art to be rather simplistic. It reminded me of watching those older cartoons. Surprisingly, it works for this Anime. It didn't bother me, but I can see how it may bother some viewers. Sound: The sound in this Anime sadly didn't capture me much. That may be a good ... Sep 30, 2008
i love love love love love love love love love vampire animes lol... love lol.. umm any way this anime was great it was almost better than vampire knight . if your a big fan of vampire animes then get ready to add this to your top five animes . it had adventure, drama,action, romance,suspense all compact in one anime . its been awhile since i seen anime that i watched with out stoping. this anime is starts off about silver balde , he is tryint to kill the remaining Kowloon Children that are descended from the Kowloon King of the Hong Kong Crusade

This is the best vampire anime I've watched. For some the story for the season may seem a bit "dull" but I feel like it is just the beginning. There is much more depth to the characters. I loved the characters all unique in their way and they all contributed to the overal story and the cause. The only flaw about this anime is that they left an open ending but have yet to announce a second season. Hopefully soon, we'll have more. Even though it is a vampire anime I loved the fact that it is not overly dark as some of the other

Ten years after the Holy War in Hong Kong, Jirou Mochizuki with his young brother Kotarou, return to Japan to live in the “Special Zone”. Trouble soon follows in the form of the Kowloon Children, an immoral clan of vampires that want to take over the entire vampiric race. Jirou, aka the Silver Blade, Katarou and their new friend, Mimiko Katsuragi a compromiser for the Order Coffin Company, the humans in control of the “Special Zone” have no choice but to put an end to the Kowloon threat.
My Thoughts: This is one anime I truly enjoyed watching. Jirou’s character acts tough but you see the ... |
