I’m not a fan of the Blood saga and I don’t know much about it, so my review is going to focus in this film and its previous story Blood-C.
To begin with I was disappointed after I watched the film since I enjoyed the Blood-C anime. This film is a quick and not well done ending to the arc of the Blood saga.
The location of the series has changed completely, it takes place in a big city with a lot of potential but the film doesn't take all the benefits that it gives. The first thing you think is that you will see a bloody and gore second part of Blood-C, which as I think is one of the things that made the anime pretty good, but it will disappoint you as soon as it starts. We only are able to see lonely combats without the interaction of innocent people that added the beautiful red colors to the series.
The character development is cero to none, at least in the anime the little evolution of the characters was justified, but this time we don’t see any of it. Also, we don’t get any plot twist or happy surprises that will make us say “I didn’t expect that!”, at least Blood-C had some painful and horrific deaths that make us think they couldn’t had just happened.
The thing that I didn’t expect at the beginning was the beautiful art and animation, but it couldn’t be true as the film carried out, the end…It turned all the hard work of the animators into a big joke, I literally jump from my bead and got amazed by the awful CGI, it even didn’t have any objective at all.
From my point of view it should have been better to end the saga with the bloody and “funny” ending of Blood-C. I only give it a 5 because Blood-C needed some kind of ending, having seen that the average score of the film is superior to the one of the anime I expected more of it. I thought that this film deserved to share my thoughts with you since I would recommend this film only because it’s the only finale to Blood-C.
This is my first review so feel free to criticize my writing and show your opinions, thanks!
