A few years back, before I even heard of the word "anime" my family was hosting a Christmas party. At my Christmas party, me and my cousin were in my room, being the socially-awkward people we are, instead of socializing with my other family members. He mentioned how he is obsessed with this "anime" called "Air Gear" or something along those lines. He introduced me to the first episode, but other than the ecchi aspect to it, I wasn't a fan. So naturally I moved on to the next show. This time it was my turn to choose. I decided that I did like the art aspect to "Air Gear" and I was looking for another show in the "anime" category. That's when I stumbled upon Blood+. After the first episode I was hooked, and so was my cousin. We watched a few episodes together that night, and he made me promise I wouldn't go ahead. I promised, but admittedly I wasn't very faithful to my promise, as I immediately continued watching as soon as he shut my door and left my house.
The character development in this anime is fantastic, it's truly a work of art. I regret however, watching it dubbed. Since I was new to the whole "anime" thing, I decided against watching it subbed, and boy do I regret that. In the future, I do plan on re-watching Blood+ in subbed, but not right now. Blood+ was absolutely outstanding. The most underrated anime to date (in my opinion of course). I recommend it to everyone, even to those who haven't seen anime or those who dislike anime. If you're reading this, and you haven't watched Blood+ yet, I ask you to trust me, and watch this masterpiece as I can guarantee you will not regret it. If you don't, that's okay too, but just know that you are missing out on a mental roller coaster that will, without a doubt leave you breathless.
