Blood for me was a roller coaster, I thought that it starts out pretty good, but then you really have to trudge through 10 episodes of buildup and then things get really excellent.....too bad things crash and burn at the end. But you overall the series has very pretty animation (some of openings look a bit rushed), very good music and a story that's either hit or miss. And yes Han Zimmer is the man.....  , <----- btw this emoticon is hilariously funny.

Having never seen the movie I though it was pretty cool. How much would it help though if I saw the movie?

None, really. Not only are the Blood+ and Blood: The Last Vampire continuities separate (to my knowledge), but the Blood movie didn't even add a whole lot to its own continuity. It was more like a sidestory to the main story being outlined in the novels, manga, and PS2 games, as opposed to any integral installment sporting some bold, new plot points. And Blood+ is a rather toned down retelling (as far as I know) of the original Blood: The Last Vampire franchise, so you don't really have to know one to understand the other. |

I think that my third time watching the first episode (once fansubbed on my own, once at anime club, and now on AS). Granted it's been about a year since then, but it was still my third time. Anyway, I got up to about episode 3 when I stopped downloading so I'm looking forward to later episodes.
The dub's decent, aside from some bad pronunciation, hopefully that gets fixed later. I like Kari as Saya, not too high but still sounds like a high schooler, and Crispin's just fine. Unfortunately they went a bit overboard with the French accent on Argeno. |

yeah that was the first ending song. the reason it might have seemed strange, is cause it's the one they used for the last episode also. i agree with everyone who said Van Argeno's French accent is horrific. i almost burst out laughing during that whole scene. |

The only real complaint I have about the dub is Saya's friend and Saya's father. Everyone else sounded fine. I love Kari Wahlgren and Crispin Freeman.!

Yeah, that's pretty much what I was guessing. I rented Blood: The Last Vampire back on thursday in anticipation of Blood+, and after watching both, I didn't really see the need to have to watch the movie. The only thing that kind of (but not really) pisses me off about it is that I came up with the idea of the main character in my own manga series to carry his sword to school in a case to hide it away incase he needed to use it there just like how Saya carries hers in the movie LONG before I even knew what Blood: The Last Vampire even was.  Oh well, yet another idea I came up with not as original as I thought it would be.

I just watched the first episode. (yeah I know it's been 4 days but I've been busy! And it has hooked me! I've gotta see why Crispin Freeman's character has that...hand. Does Saya save her brother? Why did Claw-boy (Haji?) cut open his hand and feed Saya blood?
Lots and lots of questions and I'm looking forward to finding out what the answers are! I don't usually like really gory stories (world's weakest stomach!) but I just might stick this one out and see how it goes. Besides, I do like Crispin Freeman...

Watched Episode 2 last night. Basically it was an episode that set up more of the overall plot and some background on Saya's past, but at this point I like how everything it set up at a nice, even pace instead of being rushed. Not as bloody or violent as the premier episode, but still highly entertaining.
And Crispin Freeman's accent for Van Argeno in this episode sounded more Slavic than French in my view. |

Quick question: They spoiler[mentioned Vietnam. Which the war there was 40 years ago. Kai, on the other hand, used a small cell phone. Does the series take place "now"?]

Yes. spoiler[ All of Blood+ takes place in the present. The Vietman stuff is just a bunch of flashbacks in reference to Saya's past (and a little bit of David's, but it's not all that important from his perspective).] |

And really, it's not that important for Saya's past for a while either. |

Okay, thanks guys. Much appreciated. I can handle waiting for the bigger series questions to be answered episode by episode. But it was that small nagging one that was bothering me.
