By far the worst Anime I've ever seen. Despite watching only 18 episodes, I found it to be extremely boring and full of bullshit. But to be sure that it's really that bad, I finished the whole Anime, multitasking and surfing the net while being able to predict how the story goes.
Producers of Blood+ are the worst. What genre is it supposed to be? According to Wikipedia, it's supposed to be Adventure and Supernatural. Clearly it isn't based on action at all. So I shall not blame it too much on it's action and fighting scenes. Many of you who've watched it will realize how Chiptoreans alone are smarter and more powerful than Saya, let alone Chevaliers. And yet she took them down by just slicing them up. However, the main point here would be that Saya's opponent are more intelligent, stronger, more agile and way superior to Saya. But the fighting scenes always ends with Saya somehow being able to poke her sword into the Chiptoreans. Yay for the dumb stupid Chiptoreans whose brain suddenly degenerated.
Parts of the storyline is stupid as well. The best example would be Episode 13 - where little creeps were trying to kill Kai. Saya who was taken down earlier, suddenly became stronger and managed to slice Phantom. In this process, Kai and the small monsters miraculously separated and were placed in cages. Horrible. Just horrible. They were given 50 episodes to produce a crap like this? SHAME!
Back to the main topic. Adventure. I don't see how going to different places around the world without seeing any monuments make it an adventure. The only thing I can see is that she's travelling across the globe is to kill Chiptoreans only. Kill them and leave for next country. What an adventure. Haha. Go jump off a building please.
Being supernatural is fine and cool with me. Cause that's what it really is. But the messed up part is that Saya's ability is by far the shittiest for being one of the scariest Queen around. All she can do well in is just high jump. As her body passed the pole with ease, everyone would've expected her to have super strength or speed or at least something. But in the end, she can only jump. Wow. That's so entertaining. It's bad enough that Saya's practically useless, it just makes it worse that her counterpart, Diva is way cooler and awesome than her.
Why don't the producers make a story about Diva instead and save us the irony of watching Saya develop to become a pussy. They're focusing the powers on the wrong characters. Dumb people.
How it got its high rating? I don't know. People are blind. Fullmetal Alchemist came out 2 years ago. I believe not many people watched FMA before watching this eyesore.
Both at 50 episodes each.
FMA had better love components with Winry and Edward than Blood+ (with NOTHING!)
Action scenes? FMA taps our imagination by allowing us to see what can be created from something of equivalent value. Blood+? Watching Rurouni Kenshinn would have been better. That was cool at least. Blood+? I'm gonna puke blood and die from it.
Now Adventure. FMA is called an adventure, where they head to different towns and cities to explore. You don't see shit in Blood+.
Emotional wise, FMA has sad moments throughout the series. Emo, sadness, despair, joy, comedy. What does Blood+ have? Sad moment in the first few episodes and that's it.
OST wise, I reckon FMA has the upper hand but Blood+ has some good music as well. But nothing catchy or worthy of listening twice.
Overall, I give this Anime a 4/10, behind Gundam 00 with 5/10. Gundam has robots and cooler fighting scenes and emotions.
I hope readers who found my blog will understand how bad it is. Feel free to comment if you think I'm wrong. I'll prove I'm right.
=) In the meantime, do not watch this anime for those who have yet decided to. Waste your time on other stuff than watching this blatantly dull Anime.
