Blood-C (Anime) add (All reviews)

Mixed Feelings
Everyone I've seen review this series compares it to others in the Blood line (ha), but I'd rather take it from a separate angle. I watched the series as it came out (thank you Internet), but unfortunately, it was censored. So all the lovely gore that I was looking forward to was a bunch of bright lights and mosaics. Please take that into consideration.

Story (5): Well the pace of the story starts of balls slow, which is intended I'm guessing, but I feel like some people were looking for a more fast-paced intro. When they didn't get it, they disliked it. So if you're starting off this series, be a little patient, it will pick up. I found it to be predictable, but still thoughtful enough to keep watching. However, I think plot could have been more developed.

Art (9): What can I say? CLAMP's art style makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Shoujo-esque characters, and then you have the more gruesome side to it with the "monsters". It flowed very well, and from what I could see that wasn't blurred out, it was well detailed. It was a nice contrast as well to the bloodsplosions and gore. If you're looking for an art style more rough around the edges, this might not be what you're looking for, but give it a shot anyway.

Sound (8): Aside fromt he OP and ED (which were lovely) the rest of the music during the show was quite nice. Or at some points, lack thereof. It balanced out the scenes well, and I wouldn't mind listening to the soundtrack outside of the series.

Character (3): I was honestly expecting more out of this series in terms of characterization. Sure, there were twists to characters, but most of them were fairly obvious, and I didn't really sense any development...perhaps aside from some moments with Saya.

Enjoyment (6): I can say that I did enjoy this series, up until the last two episodes. It was good fun to watch, and I might actually watch it again (uncensored of course). I looked forward to the new episodes coming out weekly.

Overall (6): Well I've seen better series, and I've seen much worse. The artistic aspect I think balanced out the lack of character development and story. My advice is to take Blood -C very much separately from Blood+ etc, and I feel like you'll like it for the most part. Take it for what it is.
