I would like to say this:
For those who are saying, "OMG IT'S TOO GORY!!!" D: ....The name of the show is "Blood." Like... LITERALLY. This is like going to see The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and getting utterly and thoroughly offended when Leatherface massacres people with a chainsaw. I mean... The title KINDA tells you what you're in for.

There's a rather stark difference between the level of violence at the end of this show and in the other Blood shows or almost anything else in anime. The show get's absurdly gratuitous in it's violence. Being bloody is one thing. Plenty of shows are bloody. Most shows are not..... this. This is more the equivalent of going to see Die Hard (... the R-rated ones) and then getting Hostel or one of the shows you mentioned. |

I think this series is one of those every anime fan should watch. Not that it is great or anything (i gave it a 7.5), but regardless, it's gonna make you think...something, so it's far from being a waste of your time.
What i find funny is that spoiler["Cabin in the Woods"] has a similar concept and people seem to love that movie...maybe it's because of the name behind it. |

Or execution matters. The complains I've seen about this show have had little to do with the twist itself. |

Uh, no it doesn't. Maybe if the show had been called "Extremely Boring Guro Splatterfest" you might have had a point. But as it is, your logic is not sound. |

I don't really mind violence in anime (I liked Deadman Wonderland), but the violence in Blood-C was really over the top at times. And the last episode was just ridiculous. I was a bit annoyed when I found out that I was watching a censored version of that episode at the time, but that feeling immediately disappeared when found an uncensored one afterwards. I couldn't even finish it. It was that bad.
I'd rather just forget that Blood-C exists and try to remember Blood+ instead. |

I'm afraid that title =/= content. So no, that is incorrect.
I've already put its existence out of my mind at this point. |

It seems anything that they try to make after the original movie has been nothing but a dog's dinner and that includes the mangas as well. I just can't believe that no one can write a proper canon prequel, or sequel from the information that was so there in the original movie to explain and expand that story. I just can't see why it has been so hard to do that.

Oh please...this is it? This is really it? This is what makes everyone sick? Hah hah...this is nothing. Seriously. This isn't sickening at all, really, it's kind of tame, to be honest, in my eyes. It doesn't even show any organs, or anything, the characters are more like fleshy sacks of blood. Now if one of the monsters had done something like disembowel someone and choke them to death with their own intestines...yeah, that would have been kinda sickening. I guess. It still wouldn't be vomit-inducing or anything. I kind of wish we had more anime willing to go bloody like this. But seriously...that was underwhelming. I'm a fan of ultra-violence, though. |

I guess, but seriously...that was pretty weak-sauce violence.
MAYBE, MAYBE, if the monsters had done something like...I dunno, rip out a dude's spinal cord and gore him to death on it, THEN maybe I could see someone getting sick over it. But that violence was just plain weak. Seriously, almost no organs. Almost none. People have organs, Blood-C. If someone gets ripped to pieces I expect to see their heart, kidneys, lungs, intestines, and all that other shit to just slowly fall out of the gaping hole in their body.
I don't really go to anime for gore. But after games like Mad World...forgive for thinking this is a little passe. |
