It's true, blood is a testament to just how far animation has come along in the past few years.  Brilliant animation, rich colors, and computer graphics merge so seamlessly, that I never really questioned one over the other, like in most other films on a similar budget.  Overall, it's very visually appealing.

 

I'd love to give you a little background info on the plot, like in my other reviews, but Blood doesn't really have a plot.  I'm not joking.

 

Saya, the protagonist, cooperates with the American government to kill demons for no real reason.  That's pretty much it.  I don't recall ever hearing where these things come from, or how she knows  where they all are.  I'm confused on the motivation to use a military base school as the primary location for the duration of the film.  It might be a reason to provide us with the other main character, a school teacher, who doesn't have a name.

 

I really appreciate it when main characters have names, you know?  It kind of helps me connect with them on a basic level.  I didn't like anybody in Blood, not just because 90% of them don't have names, but because they're all pretty one-dimensional.  Then again, the movie only runs for 48 minutes, so character development must have been tough to work into the mix.

 

The anime actually creates more questions than it answers.  Maybe it's just my inner retard talking here, but I'm pretty sure that's exactly how not to provide entertainment.
