I am really like Blade movies, lol and they actually made an anime of it.

The raws have been released, quite awesome episode, probably going to be the best.

It was terrible. I really like Blade movies excluding Goyer's crap, especially Norrington's job where we can find cool Deacon Frost not this big fat fucker from here. And what the fuck with Blade, who is it? It's definitely not Wesley Snipes, he looks like Sticky Fingaz who played Blade in shitty TV series. In the end it's just the other bad anime based on american comic book. Japanese guys still don't know how to do things about western heroes.

Eh, it was okay. It was a lot similar to the films. A step down from X-Men, but better than Iron Man or Wolverine.

As for the movies, they were pretty entertaining but were never mind blowing. I actually preferred the live action series Spike showed back in 2006.

They're basing their Deacon Frost over the comic incarnation.

What the hell? Are you guys kidding me? This is probably one of the best action/seinen anime to come out this summer line up.

I never watched/read the original Blade in my entire life so this is completely new to me, but that's why it seems pretty wicked.

He showed the vampires who was boss - until that Deacon Frost dude showed up.

The OP and ED were nice too.

Maybe to those who have seen the original Blade, it may seem like a shitty show because it was poorly adapted? IDK, but this was pretty sick.

Seinen? Sorry, but I can't see seinen here, there is no blood, no violence, no massacre. Wanna vampire seinen? Go watch Hellsing OVA's.

people who have already seen other blade material are always gonna compare this with that.

i'm not that much of a huge fan of blade, nor have i seen the other movies/comics about it either, but this episode was pretty decent to me.

As one of the few who watched all the Marvel Anime that came out, this is definitely one of the better first episodes. Blade's voice is a bit too old for his looks but I'll get used to it.
Plus there's Ryougi Shiki as well. Works for me.
Story-wise, not too familiar with the Blade comics except for the movies but it's looking good.
Hoping for it to get better. But heck, it's better than Iron Man and Wolverine now so that's saying something.

Like the OST. Sounds similar to Wolverine.

OK maybe not seinen but still, it's pretty dark and mature-ish if I were to describe it.

Disappointed, but I never did like Blade much anyway.
Liked the other Marvel anime, so I may watch this through to the end just to be fair.
My order of Marvel anime projects:

1. X-Men
2. Wolverine
3. Iron Man
4. Blade

It was fine but nothing more. People from USA should japanesise their series more.
Ofc he could killed this 4fang vampire and blade could end in 1episode but they made this vampire stronger so there's some hope.
The biggest mistake is superUberPro character at the beginning that slashes many many monsters in 1hit k.o... I dislike it in american cartoons.
Ending audio theme was epic.

1. X-men
2. SuperNatural
3. Blade
4. Ironman
5. Wolverine

I don't understand why Madhouse continues to make these American comic adaptations... Are they forced to through some kind of agreement with Marvel?

They weren't, aren't and won't sell... so why continue with a project that results in a net loss of income?

These adaptations make Highschool of the Dead look like a masterpiece and we all know what kind of travesty and insult to everyone's intelligence that was...

People, you are taking this show waaaaay too seriously. It's not like Blade is a high caliber series (despite spawning a movie trilogy and a live action tv series). It's a B-grade comic at best.

Blade is one bad Mo-Fo...cheesy lines, predictable action. The male species...be that of the Human or Vampire kind...both weak-kneed when it comes to a pretty face...just when they think they have scored, she turns into a Vampire and the Vampires, when confronted by bad ass Blade, are all sniveling fools, well, except the super-duper powerful ones. :P Anyway, not great but good enough for me to watch as sheer mindless Summertime entertainment. Looking forward to it. ;)


That and it was okay I guess given that it is an adaptation of American comic book.

Did they had like $100 to do the episode? How ridiculous was their attempt to not show any movement during vampire exterminations. No animation at all in the fights.

Anyway the whole thing was horrible. Blade couldn't shut-up(introducing himself and shit) and even got his ass kicked easily. The only scene i liked was when that girl told that guy that he stinks and kicked him out of the window.

Yeah am happier re-watching the movies than this.

Hmmm, well in most Comic cartoons there was no blood to a little amount of blood.

And quit whning, the comic is ten times better than the movie and by all means I liked the first one, second was okay and the third one was simply an insult.

The animation is nice, fighting scenes are neat to watch and Frost looks more like Frost, not like that random "typical american Frost" from the movies.

The thing that gets on my nerves though is the overly dramatic music, could tone that one down a bit. But the Supernatural Animation has that problem too with the overusing of drama tracks.

All in all I´ll watch it a bit longer.

Bad, very bad. Too predictable and retarded.
Blade is done not in the best - they could have made glasses much better by not showing his eyes, as well as, not getting his ass kicked in the first episode.
Vampire hunter girl is just pathetic - refusing to accept that her father became a vampire is just a failure.

Need prostitutes, sex, drugs and a lot of blood to make this anime enjoyable.

You do know that Blade did not look like W.Snipes in comic books till the movie actually happened, right?

Yes, god forbid realistic human reactions. She should be a sociopath and show no emotion to that.

Overall that was pretty bad. There was too much pointless narration, the part with the girl and her dad happened way too quick (at least take some time to introduce the characters so we can feel sorry for them), and Blade gets beat down already? That was a bit sad to see. Also putting the name of the sword attack all big across the screen annoys me to no end. I seriously hope they don't do that too often.

Yeah, I think I'll just wait until this airs on G4 to watch it.

What I watched : Blade episode 1
What I expected : Badass dude slashing vampires
What I got : Badass dude slashing exploding vampires

I guess mission accomplished then? I see retards hating, but really, can any one of you form any legitimate complaints? You can call it a horrible piece of crap how much you want, but if you're not going to explain why you find it so horrible, no one's going to take you seriously. Well at least they haven't added a stupid loli like they did with x-men.
