Synopsis

60 years ago, a strange case of insomnia struck the population, forcing them to stay awake for more than a full week. The victims, completely sleep deprived, all went mad. To cure this illness, a new medicine was produced, but the side effects turned the patients into vampires. Humanity went to war against this new species and triumphed, but some of the vampires managed to survive. Born from a Human and a Vampire, the main character Mi Liu, "The Child of Hope," is to represent the new hope that will connect the two species. Ringleader of a bank robbery, Mi Liu is arrested and transferred to a special prison of the National Defense Agency that monitors Vampires. Trying to break free with Anji, Mi Liu is attacked by strange monsters and he finds out that the prison location corresponds to the birthplace of Vampires, the old capital "Blue Town." Why are Vampires trapped in Blue Town? What are those strange monsters attacking them? Our heroes must fight to solve those mysteries.

I thought this anime was amazing! It popped up in my 'recommended for you' row, and I decided to give it a try, even though the reviews weren't great. There were a few things I wasn't so fond of, but the overall story made up for those few flaws.
If you're on the fence, I'd say give it a try. It isn't everyone's cup of tea, but at least watch the first three episodes and then decide for yourself. In my opinion, that's the best way to know. Better to try it out than not try at all, right?

Anyways...here's my detailed analysis:

Animation.
Don't get me wrong, ... the animation overall is incredible. There are just some scenes that alter the appearance of each character and, on rare occasions, take away the gravity of a heavy situation due to the (unintentional) look on a character's face. I feel like there are also some problems with the main female. There are certain minor things that sometimes take away the overall message from a scene. Well, maybe not minor, if you get my meaning. This girl has really big boobs that serve as a distraction more than anything else.

Other than those very few scenes, the animation is amazing. Each character has their own way of moving and their own technique when fighting. The monsters in this anime are astonishingly well-done, and the artwork somehow manages to capture the danger these creatures pose, just through their design.

Plot.
I've been searching for an anime worth my time, and I was not expecting to be drawn so much into the plot. There's the overall plot and some 'mini' plots spread throughout the story. Each episode is different, but each one also ties the whole thing together in a way that's both easy to follow but also mysterious enough to keep you on your toes. The overall story makes sense, especially for an anime like this one, and it does an incredible job depicting what the characters are trying to do and where they're trying to go. Sometimes, there isn't a clearly defined path for the characters, which I personally thought was great because sometimes we don't have a clearly defined, well-thought-out goal either. So...I loved it.

Characters:
I've read in the reviews that some people dislike how they're unable to sympathize and empathize with the characters, which is a pretty big thing an audience needs when watching an anime. I, personally, was able to sympathize with the characters, and maybe that's why I loved them so much. I believe that the reason people struggled with feeling sympathy was because this anime tends to focus more on the plot than the characterization. Because of this, there are many things that happen in the first few episodes that leave you kind of left trying to figure out what's happening.

With so much concentration focused on this, many things become dependent on imagination and an open mind, which makes it increasingly difficult to focus on anything else.

Despite this, I love the characters in this show. Each one is well-rounded, in my opinion. There are little things each character does that really make you wonder the reasoning behind why they do those things, and each character has certain skills that really get you thinking about why they needed to learn those skills in the first place. For example, one character has exceptional street smarts, something you really wouldn't expect from said character.

Each character has their own personality, goals, and roles in the story, and they make sense. The anime makes them human, which other animes sometimes fail to do. I feel like some people don't like how some of the characters' goals aren't clearly defined, but I thought this made the anime all the more interesting because of the depth it gave them and the opportunity for each character to grow.

Mixed Feelings

Bloodiverse is the representation of the 'random bullshit go' meme. Every event happening in the anime has no explanation and you be prepared to follow this rule: expect the unexpected all the time. Nothing is explained, nothing is foreshadowed, stuffs just happen because why not. There is no established rule for the world, no worldbuilding, and literally any shit can happen: from someone becoming a werewolf to someone becoming a blade by touching a naked red statue found inside tremors monsters.

Also the contrast tone of the series trying to force a 'drama' tone while ridiculous stuff are happening on screen is hilarious... Don't know if ...

Not Recommended

ENG: It's the worst anime I've ever watched, it doesn't have any context or emotion in the story. it only talks about another world that has a collar. In the end there is no continuation. It doesn't make any sense.
The positive point is that the characters seem interesting and the story alone is very difficult to develop.

PT/BR:
É o pior anime que já assisti, não tem nenhum contexto ou emoção na história. só fala de outro mundo que tem coleira. No final não há continuação. Não faz sentido.
O ponto positivo é que os personagens parecem interessantes e a história por si só é muito difícil ...
