Title: This is How Anime Should Be Done!
Review: This is a beautiful anime, with remarkably detailed CGI and cell animation blends, with clean art and stylish action sequences. The voice acting is incredible, too. Unlike most anime, where you have the option of watching either subtitled or dubbed, instead, the director went for realism, and hired English speaking actors to play the parts of American characters, and bilingual actors for the title character and a school-teacher. The result is very smooth and easy to follow. The mini-cd featuring the music video by the Mad Capsule Markets is also a nice touch, though not something to use unless you have a tray loading DVD player. The only real drawback is that Blood-The Last Vampire is not a complete story. There is no neat ending here. It feels like a pilot to a t.v. series with more to come, but sadly, there is no more. If there were, though, I'd gladly watch it.
