Blood+ ep. 1









Airing at covetted primetime slot of 6pm on Saturdays, this show has already caused a few angry letters from viewers.

But anyhow, I finally watched the first episode and I really enjoyed it. Already I can see that it will be more enjoyable than the more episodic Jigoku Shoujo (and the "scary scenes" were much better done as well). ..But to be honest, I don't think I should compare the two, since they really are two rather different shows, with Jigoku Shoujo probably being more psychological of the two....and loli oriented.

The show is much different from the "movie" which I most certainly think is for the better. What with the different character design and pace, it almost seems like a totally different story. The directing was good, the music was good -- the only thing that wasn't as good was the animation, which is pretty much to be expected.

Since this show is going to run for a year, I'm not sure how much I'm going to watch it on a regular basis, but I'm sure it will alsways be something good to come back to. ...Before it gets licensed, that is.
But enough of my blabbering. So far, so good, Blood+. Though then again, I'm pretty easy to please.
