I have mixed feelings about Blood Lad.
It's pretty weird because the story was not very good more like just okay, the characters are also not very special (except Staz) and the whole anime not really my taste, but I still enjoyed it very much.
I would like to praise three things in it:
1, Staz as a character. Oh boy, he is very entertaining with his insomniac look and nihilist attitude towards everything. I love how he observes himself like he is some kind of an outsider in his own body. He has the strangest fashion style and he obsessed with everything coming from Japan. He has the greatest respect for his manga/anime heroes..but I don't want to spoiler anything. Well, the best people to be in control always the people who don't want to be in control and he is exactly like that. He is the reason why this anime got some fame. Otherwise, it would be a very low-quality show story and character-wise.
2, Art: I loved the art. It was something interesting to me. Many times reminded me more to comics than animes. Also I loved how they mixed hip-hop and underground style into it. Unfortunately, I'm not a big fan of anime girls with huge boobs and of all the perverted jokes, so that's definitely a minus for me. However, everything else looked very good.
3, Sound: I loved the music! Soundtracks rarely catch my attention but this one was a bingo. I found myself looking them up on youtube.
My scores are:
Story 6/10
Art 8/10
Sound 9/10
Character 7/10 (only because of Staz)
Enjoyment 8/10
Overall score 7.5/10
