Inspired by the hit anime movie and manga, Blood:
The Last Vampire, Blood+ is
about a young vampire girl who fights other vampires to protect humanity. What is interesting about the anime series
however is that the series takes you all over the world exploring different
vampire mythologies and how it ties to ultimately her. Throughout the series Saya meets other
vampires and fights them, but the more she fights the internal struggle for her
to remain human begins to question her mind, is she really doing the right
thing?
If you like vampires, action and sword swinging drama this anime series is loaded
with plenty of twists and turns that will surprise you. What is interesting about the characters is
the fact the vampires have different 'classes' so to say and have different
character designs, looks, abilities and fighting styles. The story takes the original Blood and turns
it into a gigantic series where an organization is trying to create vampire
soldiers, but ultimately it is the clever manipulations of vampires.
