Summary: What happened to the film?
Review: By the creators of "Ghost in the Shell" so I figured, it'ts got to be good. And it was.The story development is good. The action is what you expect. But after only 45 minutes (was it that long?), it ends. And you have half a story, no ending, and what could have been another classic lookes like it ran out of budget and they had to make their $$$ back. I don't know what happened here, but someone goofed. Either finish the film or can it till you can. Something with potential like this should have been worked better than it was. I think someone was rushing this and could have had a great product but, as somone one else said, the film fell far too short.

Summary: dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb
Review: I've just gotten into anime and what had drawn me in were the originality of the stories. There is absolutely no suspense. Its just one bit of violence after another. Don't bother with this stupid movie. Its a total waste of time.

Summary: So much potential...
Review: They call this a movie... but at a full length of 45 minutes, it's more like a long movie trailer. Overall the movie had a really great style to it. The digital touches to the art really helped create an appropriate mood for every scene. The sounds and music were well done. The characters were well displayed... yet sorely under developed. Watching just the movie alone, the plot is non existent. The description on the back of the DVD does a better job at explaining what's going on then the entire film. The movie was a short yet stylish romp. If they had only made it twice as long and developed the story and characters MUCH more, then it could have easily been a classic. But as it stands, it's nothing but a pretty thing to stare at for a few minutes. Probably not worth purchasing. Even paying $4 to rent is a strech. Maybe just try to borrow it from a friend if you can... because you could easily have it back to them within an hour.

Summary: horrible
Review: The art- pretty good
the animation - ok
the battle secenes- close, but no cigar
the plot- okay, let's not even go there. Siya, the vampire, came, she killed some ppl, she left, with a horribley
directed cliffhanger at the end. The DVD was all about
some vampire fighting demons, and leaving, with a 'stunning'
photo, Idenifing the 'child' as very old. oooh special. With a cliche plot, mediocre battle scenes, and not that
great art, I think I'll return this DVD for something else.

Summary: In an era of superanime, this one falls short.
Review: This movie has a few nice moments but overall is a bit too short, the story and characters are poorly defined, and the saga never really delivers any integrating coherence towards the end to tie up all the elements involved or to make this movie worth sitting through. This movie is not only not on par with "Ghost in a Shell" (a classic of the genre) it's not even close---in fact, I think this falls below many many of the better (but non-classic) animation features available off the shelf at any decent video store. I would give this 1 1/2 stars if there were a half-point allowed because although I feel this movie was a poor effort of spliced together half-ideas, I did find it visually interesting at times despite the airheaded, rambling, brain-dead attempt at plot and characterization. Overall, however, the virtues do not outweigh what this movie lacks. This has all the look of an unfinished student project. My advice: Save your money.

Summary: Very awesome
Review: This movie may be short, but it's pretty awesome in the animation and the nice attempt at trying to make 3D backgrounds and objects move smoothly with the hand drawn animation. The first 5 minutes of the DVD will just blow you away! But then it's also the reason why I didn't give it 5 stars. The action at that point gets a little confusing. I lost track of the main characters movements when she was going to attack. Other than this little stumble, the rest of the movie is pretty cool. Awesome hand drawn animation. At a couple points you can't tell whether the scene is hand painted or it's a 3D modelled. If you're a lover of Anime, this modern piece of work should give you a good idea of what to expect in the quality of anime in the future.

Summary: Don't believe the hype: Blood
Review: You've heard enough about Blood's incomplete, incomprehensible story. I heard this stuff and I thought "Hey, as long as it looks cool, I'll enjoy it." Wrong. The animation is largely actionless, consisting of tense dialouge and awkward silences. And the heralded action sequences are incredibly short and, frankly, nothing great. Visually, Blood is hardly revolutionary compared to other recent Manga and even high quality U.S. animation like Pearl Jam's incredible Do The Evolution video.

Summary: pretty cool dvd
Review: this dvd is really cool, i rented this one as i thought it couldnt be that good for such a short movie. boy was i wrong, the animation is SOOOO COOL and the story is pretty decent too. i highly recommend you watch it, or buy it if the price goes down a bit one day. it only loses 1 star for the length/price ratio. but if you are loaded go ahead and buy a copy, and buy me one too :)

Summary: Great Eye Candy, But...
Review: I read a lot of hype for this movie before it came out, so I was eager to view it. Overall, the artwork and animation is just stunning, with lots of action. Like many others, though, I thought the story just lacked something and left me unsatisfied. When the movie ended my first thought was "That's it?" I think the movie is worth watching just for the visuals, but it could have been so much more if they had put the more effort into developing the characters and plot.

Summary: The Blood: The Last Vampire
Review: I really liked this movie. My only complaint would be the length. It is VERY short. Aside from that, I thought the artwork and cgi was great. The story was good, but could have been more detailed had the movie been longer. The one thing i especially thought was a nice touch was that the Japanese characters actually spoke Japanese (with subtitles) and the American characters spoke English. More movies should do that.
