Blood+ ep. 1-4

[cerusee]

This is an excellent show. I'm not quite ready to throw in my lot with herongale and call it the best anime ever, but it's definitely top-notch.

So much love for Riku. So. Much. Love. If anything horrible happens to him during the course of this show, I will call heron all sorts of nasty names. speaking of trauma buttons, octopedingenue, why didn't you warn me about the dog in Her Majesty's Dog, oh god

I blame my weakness for innocent younger brother characters on Mai-HiME; I'm pretty sure I didn't have that before I got hit with the sweetness that is the Tokiha sibs. I don't even have an innocent younger brother. I have an innocent younger sister...and when I say innocent, I mean, innocent like she writes fanfiction in which Edward Elric is tentacle-raped by a carnivorous animated tree. That kind of innocent.

In conclusion, watch Mai-HiME. And Blood+.

Some kind of sequel to Blood the Last Vampire, I believe. I think it's the same Saya. I have no clue what her backstory is beyond what they've revealed in the first 4 episodes, but it doesn't seem to matter--the story is coherant and the storytelling is strong, and I'm totally hooked.

I can upload. I have the technology.

If I have never seen Blood the Last Vampire and have never particularly felt the burning desire to do so, will I understand/care about Blood+?

I have never seen Blood the Last Vampire, nor felt the desire to do so, and picked up Blood+--having no idea what it was about--based on herongale's strong recommendation. I think I understand it so far, and I'm pretty into it, so I'd say there's a reasonable chance you'll like it.

You should totally watch Mai-HiME, too. It's the best genre-busting, gender-bending action/romance/mystery/slapstick/magical girl/humor show ever! With ninjas! I can upload that, too.

Also, a dog gets eaten in Blood+. D: I wish I'd known to avert my eyes.
