Blood-C: The Last Dark Film's 1st 8 Minutes Streamed
posted on by Egan Loo
Yahoo! Japan's Movies website began streaming the first eight minutes from the Blood-C: The Last Dark film on Tuesday.
Manga creator team CLAMP developed the story and original character designs for the earlier Blood-C television series and this upcoming film. Production I.G has been animating both projects, but Naoyoshi Shiotani (Tokyo Marble Chocolate, key animator on Blood+ and Blood-C) is directing the film instead of the television version's director Tsutomu Mizushima. Writers Jun'ichi Fujisaku and Nanase Ohkawa (CLAMP), animation character designer/chief animation director Kazuchika Kise, and voice cast members Nana Mizuki (Saya Kisaragi) and Kenji Nojima (Fumito Nanahara) are all returning from the television series.
The film will open in theaters across Japan on Saturday. Niconico, the English version of the online video service Nico Nico Douga, streamed the television series outside of Japan as it aired.
