THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Saw it as a web cast and I wonder if that means uncensored version due to the ban. Well it certainly was damn amazing! OP is kick ass with a constant bad ass Saya covered in blood during her first fight shown as it follows,

blood is in the house! In fact at first I though the monster was like some sort of statue alive. Little did I know it soon transformed into what looks like a mantis in the spoilerwith a weak point being its neck extended and nice blood splash there. Saya kicks ass! Realistic fights have even spit spitting from the mouth like in boxing as Saya gets a hit from the monster.

Oh wow Saya get maimed and spits out blood in the spoilerand it looks like the monster does act like a mantis from the looks of what it does here to Saya. So you want blood? You really want it? Really really crazy about it? Check out how the blood pisses and flows from the monster in the spoilersatisfying enough. It sure was for me! Heck yeah! This will out-pawns HOTD any time! I am just a little curious or a lot in fact in regards to why did Saya change her eye color and shape here right before killing the monster.

I can already see myself liking Nono and Nene in the following,

they bring light heart comedy and most of all they are twins.

Saya getting the sword was the quite the ceremonial.

• The OP itself has some rather explicit scene in the following spoiler
  
  
  this includes some Saya ass and breasts partially whom are proportionate so it's a plus. Does Saya ever look amazing here as well as here in regards to the OP.
  
  
• From the looks of Tadayoshi touching Saya, she blushes in the following spoiler
  
  
  I wonder if that means that she has love for him. I also wonder WTF is that light thing here?

So if you like blood and lots of it in fights and some nude serious shit but nothing stupid of ecchi less fillers are in this series then welcome aboard amigo, let's blood bath enjoy that.

There are A FEW people with a bit of common sense in here. This first episode of Blood-C is AN OVERALL DISAPPOINTMENT.

I've waited for years for a second Blood anime series and they come out with this thing: I disliked EVERYTHING, from the opening to the closing theme. The more I watched through it, the more disappointed I was.

The clumsiness of Saya, far from being comic, is annoying; her cheerful philanthropy and her overall persona are unconvincing. The high-school setting full of characters whose potential future utility in the development of the series is to be doubt: they could have known better.

In twelve episodes is pretty unlikely that the creators will be able to redeem themselves in the eyes of the Blood franchising fans (and I mean those with a bit of brain). I've followed Blood for years and I just didn't know what to say about this new adaptation.

Blood+ was ONE HELL of a series: the script was an amazing job at a literary level. I really really appreciated the writers of the series. Ryoo Ikehata adopted a writing approach that could be appealing even for older audiences.They made A HUGE mistake by appointing CLAMP to write the script. Blood HAS NEVER BEING aimed at "kind hearted" audience. I always liked it because it has a kinda "serious-kick-ass" aura.

Blood-C looks to me like a regression after all the great job that had been done in the first series (certainly it was not A TOP ONE graphically, but when it comes to the story, well, WAS REALLY GOOD); everything looked less serious in this first episode, too teenage-like, thus annoying and disappointing.
Ok, is just "the first episode", but if just with the first episode is this hopeless, the next ones are set to be the same, or worse. It's a pity, it's really a pity.

How do you not draw any parallels between how C started and how + started? + started with Saya being somewhat clueless, cheerful (if not happy), and a little spaced out. C begins with Saya being clumsy (in her priestess outfit), cheerful, and a little distant.

+ Saya encounters someone who turns her life upside-down (Haji) in the first episode, C Saya encounters someone who is intriguing and has the potential to turn her life upside down in the first episode (Tokizane).

Very little is revealed regarding +Saya's history, background, or ability in the first episode. Very little is revealed regarding CSaya's history, background, or ability in the first episode. However, we do know that both + and C Saya live in a family that, although filled with love, must have had a history of problems.

In the first episode, + Saya's friends are not aware of her other life. In the first episode, C Saya's friends are also not aware of her double life.

I can go on for while listing the parallels between the two, but I think I've made my point. Both C and + started out somewhat light and cheery with something ominous lingering the background that will serve to drive the story. Both C and + featured a large cast in the first episode that will serve as fodder for the rest of the story. Both C and + had characters with plenty of room to continue to develop. Furthermore, both C and + have amazing BGM scores (judging on the first episode).

In the end, your complaint of why you don't like C can be summed up in this one sentence: "because it's not +"

To which I will reply, "Go re-watch +."

Seeing this episode made me realize you really don't need much to make a good anime.

Creepy sick 'ole incest innuendo to, goddamn.

Gangler said:

oh please. She's just a daddy's girl. Not everything has to be incest innuendo. Sometimes it can just be Freudian overtones.

Its CLAMP.


The group who invented TRC.

(quite big spoiler)

Was not that first invented by X the movie somewhat.

So far it is a bit disappointing. CLAMP got too creative (or too lazy) and added some things to the Blood franchise, which I don’t like. Moronic and funny main character (with glasses), creepy twins and evil spirits… Am I watching xxxHolic again? And where are the vampires?

It was Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad!!! Horrible!
I can't help but compare Blood+ with this, and Blood+ was AMAZING.
Saya's character is so idiotic in this.
As for CLAMP's animation, it was fine, and their stereotyped character style - ok, I can deal with it for Blood, but to make Saya clumsy just for "humour's" sake is really idiotic. Falling flat on one's face... Is that the best they could offer??

What's with the chain around people's necks in the SCHOOL UNIFORM???

Fight scene was well choreographed, but it was still weird. In the beginning she doesn't put a scratch and at the end she's able to cut off arms that easily? Pfft!

gaaaah! Can't stand it!
