Vampires don't sparkle.
Alright, got that out of the way. Blood the Last Vampire is a subtle vampire story, if such things exist. No ancient Dracula, no Victorian fashion, in fact other than being one we learn nothing about Saya or how she gained this curse. Our only hint is the line, "She is the only remaining original."
Saya would have a greatly expanded backstory in later reboots but this classic keeps her mysterious. We know she is hunting people who are traditionally more monstrous vamps for the U.S. government. What agency is a guess, for what purpose is unknown. And the ending makes us wonder as to her intentions.
Well drawn and environmentally dark, just a school girl with a sword and the will to use it. Find this one while it's still out there, watch it again if you've got it.
