As a fan of both Blood franchise and CLAMP, Blood C had an initial success in attracting me.
However, as episodes pass by, it bore the heck out of me. I could have finished this series in 1-2 days but it took me a week because it was THAT boring for me. What the heck is wrong with this series?
The plot was there. Art was good (bishounens, anorexic (err, very thin) characters with long extremities, and very good details in costumes and the setting. Yup, definitely CLAMP). Blood and gore, check. My major problem is the slow pacing. Yes, for a 12-episode anime it's slow
...
in terms of progress. Add the fact that the first few episodes were, how do I call this, routine episodes/episodes that pretty much contain the same things with minor variations here and there, and it's only in the last 3 episodes that the series managed to redeem itself, although they seemed to suddenly attack head on and fitted all the major happenings into the last few episodes. Kind of like how students cram at the very last minute. Please don't get me started on comparing it with its predecessor because this might end up as a comparative essay rather than a review.
Overall, Blood C is good and its only major problem is the very slow pace. If you're a fan of Blood franchise and/or of CLAMP and you can ignore the progress of the story, go ahead and give this anime a chance.
