Summary: too short, barely any plot, but nice to look at
Review: This movie was way too short. I didn't check the length before hitting "play" so when the movie was about to end, I was thinking, "Ok, that was a decent intro sequence, I wonder what's going to happen in the main part of the movie." Then the credits rolled. Doh.There is basically no character development and the plot is pretty thin (there are monsters, the protagonist must kill them). Some of the visuals are nice, but otherwise there's not much to recommend this movie. ...this one is rental fodder. Not worth buying...

Summary: Stunning visuals but way too short
Review: The animators use of shadows and light are very striking, the film is very dark at times so when various other colors do pop up it is all the more effective. The battle scenes are top notch, and the characters are mysterious and noteworthy. However.... the length of the film is such a shock, I did feel cheated somehow...especially ending after such highly memorable scenes as the heroine chasing the last demon along a runway with a huge cargo plane taking off. And... poof....it's over...what [on earth]? Buy this if you find it for cheaper than advertised, but at full price, I do feel cheated. Sorry...

Summary: Great Movie
Review: this anime is truely a piece of art. Though there isnt that much of a story behind it, the animeation does more then make up for it. This is a great movie and every anime fan should add it to their collection.

Review: I believe this is a prelude of things to come,when I watched this movie I was shocked to see it end so soon,just left me wanting more!The artistry was that of Lain,I also thought it was cool to have japanise & english languages in the mix as well.At the beginning I kept trying to change the language back to english,not realizing this was how the movie was(LOL).I can't wait to see more episodes of this title,as there WILL be more.

Summary: This was a cool flick
Review: I think I need to clarify things about this flick.... After watching it and rereading some of the reviews I can understand what they were actually saying. It's not a bad movie at all. It was short but the details in the drawings were really great. The story itself was pretty good. It left you with a lot of unanswered questions. I like to think that the 45 min you get was so good that it leaves you wanting more. If there is a sequel to it in the future (which I will get if there is one) I hope it goes deeper into the character and is much longer. My opinion is that this will become a classic. It's a really cool flick and it's worth getting for your collection. Though you may want to shop around since it is a short film and might feel cheated because ot it's length but defintely not because of it's content.

Summary: Absolutely GUT-WRENCHINGLY AWFUL!!
Review: It's times like these when I wish for zero stars. This was so slow and boring I almost fell asleep. The only good part was that the torture ended quickly. And as for the reviewer who called this a 'masterpiece' and said 'poor Philly', I say 'poor YOU!' Ever notice that people find the 1 and 2-star reviews more helpful?

Summary: Masterpiece
Review: This film is commendable for among other reasons what the Amazon clerk finds objectionable about it. I suppose the sub-text involving Americas adventurism in Vietnam is the reason for it's not liking it, and it's true if your a good Gingrichite (grinch-ite?) or a mentally immature Scooby Doo fan it will probably offend your high moral standards. As for the chinese "review" below it's nonsensical and is apparently from a very backward person. Poor Philly, PA.

Summary: Not a good movie
Review: I was really expecting much more of this movie. how to start?, the animation is really good, there is no doubt about that, it brings like a new style of animation but even though it looked nice, i've enjoyed much more the animation of other movies like vampire hunter d: bloodlust or ghost in the shell. the plot is bad, it doesn't explain anything about the girl, or the vampires or why use this specific sword or why that or whatever. so you practically see good dialogues but not a nice storyline, the ending is bad too it doesn't look like an ending, and the fights have some action and realistic but not very emotive. it's about 45 minuts lenght so its practically like an unfinished work, i wouldn't pay to watch it. sorry.

Summary: Think of it as a prelude...
Review: Before I watched "Blood," my brother told me the only thing wrong with it is the length - a mere 45 minutes. And when I watched it, I could not believe that it was over, but it was. Despite its length and the fact that nothing much is explained, BECAUSE of its length I consider this a prelude of things to come. After I watched this movie, I immediately thought of this as a series - this being the clip before the opening credits. The animation is incredible and the voices work moreso than ever. And the original spin that is put on vampires is exactly that - ORIGINAL. I give it five stars because this movie should be watched by all who are into anime. With keeping an open mind that this will not be the last we see of Saya (the main character in "Blood"), you will see that this movie ranks among the very best.

Summary: Ghost in the shell fans beware!
Review: This is from the same creators as 'ghost in the shell'. The hardest thing to do is to not compare 'blood' to it. The story line has some depth and you really feel it come alive. Maybe a little on the gory side of town but doesn't make your skin crawl like 'the puppet princess' or 'nightwalker'. Great action sequences as well as a 'macabre' coloration to the artwork for a distinct flavor. Overall, a very good piece. The story could grow a little and give some more background on the characters so they are more than just a stand in.
