Okay, so, I'm gonna assume that you've seen S1 of Baka to Test as I write this review, okay?

Now, I did enjoy the first series a lot, but I always found the exam system in it a bit thin, I know it wasn't to be taken seriously, but I was more interested in the characters!

When S2 started, I was really excited to see the characters on their summer vacation at the beach! I mean, from trying to pick up girls to a hideous Yuuji in a model competition, it was all a lot of fun and laughs to see.

I can't say I wasn't a ... little bit disappointed that they went back to school, as I was hoping that S2 would be about their funny antics for their summer holiday, but nonetheless manages to deliver a lot of laughs! The only thing I'm a bit upset about is the three part episodes, I've always thought of Baka to Test to be one of those anime that you don't take seriously at all, something to watch when you're a bit down or something, so seeing a mini-plot form gets a little tiring!

Oh yes, did I mention the AMAZING opening for S2!? It's almost as good as the first one, and is sure to brighten your mood regardless of your situation, thank you for reading!

Please note before reading: I have not seen Blood+, Blood: The Last Vampire both live action nor animated, for that reason I am going to review this as a separate series on it's own.

Saya Kisaragi, a normal school girl and shrine maiden by day, demon slayer by night, Blood-C happens to be very slow at first, but presents a lot of foreshadowing throughout the first few episodes.

This series has a lot of gore, a lot more than I expected, actually. Most of the /really/ gory stuff in censored, but you still get a general idea of what's happening in the scene.

The fighting is excellent, Saya ... sure knows how to handle a sword! I've seen about six/seven fights in the series so far, and each one makes my heart pound when I watch it.

The art is brilliant, the character designs are very fresh, and go easy on the eyes when you look at them, my favourites happen to be Saya herself, her father, her best friend, and her teacher. The character development is little, but the series still presents enough for you to pick up on.

Don't even get me started on the music, the opening (combining both Japanese, English, AND french) is just amazing, I had to replay it over and over when I first listened to it, the same goes for the ending theme, too.

Overall, I think this is a very good series to pick up on, most of the negative reviews are coming from people who are sorely disappointed because Blood-C is not a duplicate of Blood+. I am not a big fan of CLAMP's works but I can say that they really have outdone themselves with this.
