Anime Review – Blood +
Blood +
First thing first, the anime was a bloody hell. She turn berserk and kills every moving creature regardless of what they are. However after 30 years of hibernation the most deadly weapon the military made turn into the most delicate teenager whose life devotes only to live in a normal high school girl. Haji, Saya’s faithful chevalier appears and somehow helps her recall everything that happens thirty years ago, and even the day she became human and turn herself into a vampire which made her immortal.
Moving on, as the she about to unfold the mystery of her past she was caught into the most dangerous situation which she have done a few decades ago. As she found out what happen she realize that it was also her fault to let Diva (her twin sister, which is also her ultimate villain) free from her cage and kills every family she has.
Furthermore, with the help of her own foster family which, later on, became her only hope to correct her mistake at the same time guide her to the right path. She lost her dad, her little brother and comrades while battling with so many chevaliers that protect her twin sister. Even so, she was about to sleep again for another thirty years, she still strive to finish what she have to do in order to bring peace in the humanity.
In Addition, before she was about to kill her little brother and her twin sister’s newly born children – they are also twins – Kai interfere and told her she was about to change her failure and by doing so they let the children live and guide them as how she was guided by their father, Haji as well, for the first and last time she disobeyed Saya for the greater good.
Saya and Haji
After the fight against her twin, Kai brought her back where she began. Every year Kai and the twins visit her place to check on her. Haji as well paid to visit her. By the way Haji even if he is a property of Saya – she bought her to become her personal assistant way back he was a kid – fall in love with her. And willingly give up his life just to protect and accompany her wherever Saya wishes to go.
Now as for the story, it was heavy, the fighting scene, the love story and the rivalry, the companionship among the characters, the quest for freedom and the overall plot. It was remarkable although it was not a good recommendation for young audiences. Nevertheless the flow of the story is very concise, there are no wasted times. It was ingeniously written and directed. All the characters have their meaningful part, even Mao (Kai’s determined girlfriend who was persistently looking for him) have a very unexpectedly role which I thought, personally, that she was just a total side story – which usually led to fillers – but fortunately she became a real part of the overall plot. The Schiff as well have the situation, although I already expect that there this always a failure subject in the experiment, which most of the time they became the lead character, however in here they only became the supporting cast. That is good somehow.
Finally, I watched this series with a serious and well-focused attention that I only do if the anime series is my personal interest. And only realize it after finishing the whole series. Because at first I wasn’t feeling watching this one because it was too dark, and the scenes always happened during nighttime, and I had a problem watching dark scene, because I hardly recognize their features. But fortunately it turned out well and I was enjoying the show. And for the rating I give 8.5/10. Fair enough, since I don’t give a hundred percent for the rating, because I allow my self to discover new anime series every now and then. So I just give you the opportunity to decide whether to give a perfect score for this. But for me, this is one-of-a-kind which truly consists of a good character and a good storyline. Thank you for making such a good series like this.

Sneak Peek! Zombie Loan
Zombie Loan
Zombie Loan, as what I have read, this anime seems like death note, particularly misa-misa ability and the other two lead characters seems like, L and Light, though they don’t have feelings on misa-misa, but somehow it looks like it. And another thing, possessing a shinigami eyes also like d.gray-man although, they called the wandering souls as akumas who have been created by the person’s desperation. Calling Chika as a boy-B and Shito as boy-A it sound like B1 and B2, the twin banana, forgot the title of the TV show. The chain’s at the opening theme was like Kurapica’s chain, woah, i wonder when plan to make a continuation on hunter x hunter, I am really looking forward to the next arc, I read the manga it was really a new adventure, a new villain of course, but some characters have shown up again.
Anyways, speaking of the Zombie Loan, we might as well talk about the storyline. The story revolves in the life of girl who possesses a shinigami eyes that allow her to see the people’s destined death, which normal people could not see it. As what she see, a gray ring has lace in the people’s neck and it darkens over time , which means their death is approching. Chika and shito, this boys’ ring have laready turn black yet they are still alive, that is when she knew about the organization which allow them to live but in return they are working to hunt down the zombies that are wandering around. After getting involved by this two boys Michiru’s life turns out be be more complicated.
Despite the short episode, i think the story is well elaborated and it goes smoothly, unlike Gintama, i have the first episode but I don’t think I can spare a time for that series, well if you watch gintama I supposed you rather watch get backers or if you want a silly anime try school rumble.
Moving on, regarding the graphics it looks like vampire knight. The flow of the story was clear and revealing yet mystery still on it’s way to discover the deepest meaning of the characters. Their style on giving importance to the characters is quite amusing, i have seen some of the anime that they never include background people around, and if they put it was clearly uncool, it was just they don’t feel adding them in the scene, but rather not including them or poorly drawn them, the creator finds it way to make it more realistic, and adding to it’s feature the creator made the them as a focal point.
Now let’s enjoy the series… see you next time, sorry for the abrupt ending, but I guess, i write more next time… see you. Anyway here are the three lead characters of the story. And I’ll try to add their picture as weel next time. Jaa ne.
Michiru Kita – Michiru possesses Shinigami Eyes, which allows her to see a ring on a person’s neck, indicating their impending death. However, she has hated her gift ever since she saw dark rings around her parents’ necks, who died in an accident after the rings turned jet black. She now wears glasses that can subdue her gift, allowing her to live her life normally. Although, since the death of her parents, she has felt a numb complacency with life, living it out, but having no will to achieve anything or even care if she dies or not, an attitude which disgusts Shito.
Chika Akatsuki – Chika is referred to as “Boy B” or simply “B” (“B-san“), titles which greatly irritates him, after surviving an accident with Shito, known as “Boy-A”, six months prior to the start of the series. His attitude is rather lively, but he is also short-tempered; he is often seen beating Michiru for her various failures. He began to have feelings for Michiru.
Shito Tachibana – Shito is referred to as “Boy A” or simply “A” (“A-san“) by most students in his school. Due to his looks and attitude, he is seen as an idol by the female students, though he seems to not care. He is generally a much more approachable person than Chika, but certain situations and people cause him to act cold and indifferent; when Michiru first told him that she had no real will to live, he told her how disgusted that made him feel, going on to say that he believes she does not deserve the right to live but begans to warm up to her and grows feelings for her.

Review:
I have watched this a year ago and forget about it already. I thought I deleted this file but when I looked at the drive F of my computer I found a lot of movie files and to think most of it is anime movies that I downloaded. Yeah I just download it.
It was fun watching this side movie it is completely different from the first two movies I have watched. The story is simple and predictable – Someone tries to over-thrown a ruler then they tried to rescue him from the villain, and in the end they make a new different friendship bond, the usual Naruto story – yet it is interesting. The way the creator conceptualizes the story, the cinematography and even the characters is impressive. Naruto characters are also unusual. They wear a different outfit. Kakashi wears a shirt underneath his uniform. Naruto wears a wrist band and short. Sakura wears a shorter shirt – I guess, can’t really distinguish the difference between her usual dress though. And Rock Lee wears a short. And speaking of Rock Lee, I wonder why the creators decided to put him on the team – this is during the time when Sasuke left Konoha.
Moreover, after this movie they introduced a new team policy. Teams are mixed up with other teams making a different combination. It was a great idea it makes the story truly remarkable and cleverly written.
Naruto has been unbeatable with other new anime series that has been aired since last five years and to think Naruto is still going better and better especially the Naruto shippuuden.
For the ratings I give 8.5/10. Because this movie still does not compare to my all time favorite anime film, Yu yu Hakusho, it was release back in 1999 here in the Philippines, if I was not mistaken. I give 8.5 because it does not contain any serious matter that really needs an attention unlike yu yu hakusho, it has a concrete storyline – no wonder why it was also the best anime I ever seen since I was still a kid.
I hope to see watch another Naruto movie again next time. See you.
