Anime Blood+

[Guest kuroinuyoukai]

Has anybody heard of an anime called Blood(maybe it's BloodPlus)? My anime club at college was watching it Friday night. Could somebody tell me what it is about exactly?

Thanks to dagger for clearing that up!

I split this off from the other thread because you're just curious about the show; it's not related to the topic of bashing or whatnot.

Blood+ is an alternate universe take on Blood: The Last Vampire, a stylish but short movie. The main character of the series is Saya, a schoolgirl living in Okinawa. She has been taken in by a foster family and has no memories of her past. One day, she forgets her track shoes at school, and returns there late at night to get them. While on campus, she's attacked by a mysterious beast. An equally mysterious man fends the beast off and asks her to fight. Frightened, she tries to flee. But when the situation becomes truly dire, another side of her "awakens," and she undergoes a drastic personality shift, becoming a fearless fighter and even (albeit briefly) speaking in English.

So basically it's an action-horror series. You can expect monster-fighting, angst from Saya, probably some digs at America (given the show's location), stuff related to vampires, etc.

Yes in fact I have heard of Blood+. I just read about it on the new issue of Animefringe ([url="http://www.animefringe.com/magazine/2005/11/feature/02.php"]http://www.animefringe.com/magazine/2005/11/feature/02.php[/url]), and it looks like very intersting . Even though the concept isn't new I still love it in this anime. The art looks great too.
