The title "Anorexia" misled me. I was expecting a slice of life kind of manga and thus my reaction when I started reading this was, to summon it up: wtf.
Yet I couldnt stop but continue to read it, I was captivated.
I can't tell you how it goes because it will spoil the surprise, and boy did I love that twist!

In a way you can say they're all psychologically mad and easy. Because of some similarity and connection this whole story comes to life.
The first dinner. The first kiss. The first blood spill.
But why is this happening?
This you find out at the end.

How they made it ... romantically bloody makes this even better!

The only sad thing is how they rushed it too much ;-;..
This manga would have been so much better if they did not rush it.
They tried to include so many stories, it was too much for the chapters to handle.

I have nothing to say about the art. It was eye pleasing, even the gore.

-Overal-

I'd like to firstly recommend everyone to watch the Blood-C specials because they summon up the series really well. The specials go straight to the point without leaving behind important information. The feeling you get after watching it will help you when you watch the movie directly afterwards.
Ofcourse if you saw the series then even better. I saw it as well, yet bcs it has been so long since, I watched the specials and it helped me remember every feeling.

Do you know how it feels to be betrayed and lied to? Have you ever hated yourself for what you believe happend because of you?
Try to ... picture it. Try to stand in her shoes.

I admit that in the series her character may be very annoying, hell even I thought so at times. But in the movie they made up for it.
Some say there is no character development, well I think they're wrong.

In the beginning of the movie Saya is cold, you can't blame her after what happened. Gradually she changes yet stays herself.
Whats diffrent? She found someone like her. No, not a 'monster' but a person.
That person as well changes into a stronger someone because of the person's encounter with Saya.

Saya seeks for revenge but in the end is it really as she thought it was?

Watch the movie to find out what happened in the end. Find out the truth behind all these masks. //Nothing is as it seems.\\

-Sound-

Overal the sound was alright actually. It wasn't wrongly added in a disturbing way. They mainly added it where it was needed for the tension.
So overal a 8/10 for me.

-Art-

aaah Clamp and IG did an amazing job as is expected, definetly a 9 out of 10.
The animation is beautifully done and the monsters I have to say are discustingly amazing!!
The exesive use of blood is indeed still there but hey once you start it off like that, why not finish ;D

-Story-

The movie actually has a great story and it goes straight to the point: her revenge.

As for the title: "The Last Dark", I think they actually explained that in the end of the movie when Fumito 'explains' a few things about Saya.
So be sure to look out for that :D

In the end I give the movie an 8,5 out of 10.
