31 Days of Halloween 2009 - Blood: The Last Vampire


There's so many version of Blood: The Last Vampire, it's hard to know where to begin. There's the original animated movie, the manga, the novels, a video game, an anime series that spawned its own novels, manga and video game, and a live action film. The last will be released onto DVD in the U.S. this week.

Basically, all feature the same concept: a girl named Saya with varying levels of vampirism (usually full-blooded) and a sword who fights other vampire-like creatures called Chiroptera. Naturally, there's quite a bit of blood. And you can't forget the schoolgirl uniform - it's to Japanese horror what teenagers having sex are to American ones.

Pretty cool - the original anime movie is the scariest and makes an excellent double feature with Vampire Hunter D.
