Synopsis

On an American military base in Japan, a new kind of vampire emerges: Teropterids. They are monstrous shape-shifting creatures that can only be killed with special swords. A mysterious girl named Saya is the last "original," the only person capable of dealing with the menace of these monsters. Posing as a student at the base's school, Saya races to hunt down the beasts before they turn an ordinary Halloween bash into a bloody massacre. Production IG, known for their pioneering digital effects, describes BLOOD: THE LAST VAMPIRE as a full digital animation movie, which means that even though many sequences were animated using pencil and paper, the artwork was digitally scanned. Inking and coloring were completed by computer, as were several other special effects. Hiroyuki Kitakubo was chosen to direct the project because of his digital experience (he oversaw the movie sequences in the GHOST IN THE SHELL game for the Sony PlayStation.) The film is also notable for the participation of screenwriter Mamoru Oshii, who helmed GHOST IN THE SHELL and has written a novel that takes place in BLOOD's universe. Despite its resemblance to BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, BLOOD succeeds in creating its own gloomy, chiaroscuro world.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bloody Brilliant!, 29 Aug 2010
This review is from: Blood - The Last Vampire [Blu-ray] [2000] (Blu-ray)
a revolution in modern anime, but i cant go any furthr, the product is very reliable and fast. the sale made this affordable. if you like your anime let me tell you first that it's short, around 50 mins long, but it's pretty much an OVA so you cant complain, the movie made you want more so check out blood+ afterwords. however my blu ray did have a slight dent in the front but the disc and contents were still fine. can you try to be more carefull at handelling it please!?

5.0 out of 5 stars The First Anime I Ever Saw, And Still My Favourite., 12 April 2010
By Hollie (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Blood - The Last Vampire [Blu-ray] [2000] (Blu-ray)
This was the first anime I ever saw, sometime between 5 and 10 years ago. I honestly have no idea how long I've been a fan of this genre, but it's only thanks to Saya Otonashi that I am.

Unable to sleep one night I was idly flicking through the t.v. guide when I saw Blood: The Last Vampire was just beginning. As I was somewhere in my vampire obsession stage at the time I considered it lucky that I'd managed to catch the film as it started. I am forever grateful to that long ago night of insomnia, it introduced me to, and made me a firm fan of Manga in all it's forms - wether film, series, comic, novel, I've been adicted ever since.

And from that day 'til this Blood has remained my firm favourite.

Stunning animation, perfect voice casting, incredibly imagined monsters, and a very origional re-telling of the seemingly done to death vampire tale. I would strongly recommend this to all fans of Japanese anime, and if you're not a fan, I'm sure this short film will turn you into one.

3.0 out of 5 stars The last original, 24 Mar 2010
By E. A Solinas "ea_solinas" (MD USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Blood - The Last Vampire [Blu-ray] [2000] (Blu-ray)
Your basic vampire is perfectly suited to anime -- beautiful, seductive, and opulant.

Well, most of them, anyway. Things are a bit different in "Blood: The Last Vampire," an anime movie that bravely throws out most of the vampire preconceptions, as well as plot exposition. It's not a total success storywise, but it's an effectively dark, moody piece of bloody action.

As the movie opens, we see a mysterious young girl, Saya, on a train. When the lights go out, she savagely attacks a man at the other end of the train with a sword.

It turns out the man was a Chiropteran -- a sort of bat-vampire. When her coworkers arrive to clean up the mess, Saya learns that the Chiropterans have infiltrated the general public -- and she has to go undercover at a girls' high school near an American military base. She isn't happy about it, but goes anyway.

Saya begins snooping around for evidence of Chiropterans, and finds it -- a pair are disguised as ordinary high school girls. But when she corners them, a timid nurse accidentally gets involved in the bloodbath that ensues -- and a deadly cat-and-mouse game between the mysterious Saya and her monstrous prey.

"Blood: The Last Vampire" is one of those movies where the plot isn't the overwhelming force. In fact, the actual story isn't much -- it feels like tuning into an episode of a weekly TV show, without much explanation for who Saya is and what is going on. And after the first third, the movie is pretty much entirely devoted to "Saya hacks and slashes her way through the school while the nurse screams a lot."

But the visual presentation is stunning -- every scenes is saturated with shadows and vague, pale light. And while many scenes are quiet and almost motionless, the action scenes explode with kinetic energy, splashes of gore, and occasionally a raging fire. And when Saya jumps into action, the entire world seems to speed up into a blur of violence and splattered blood.

One thing you have to say -- there are no stereotypically pretty, European vampires here. There's only Saya -- a cold-eyed girl who looks like Angelina Jolie's gothy baby sister -- and a lot of grotesque bat creatures, with huge muzzles and big claws. The most "human" person here is probably the timid nurse, but we never really get to know her until the end.

"Blood: The Last Vampire" isn't too worried about having a plot, but for splattery action and fast-moving vampire battles, it's a dark diversion.
