Blood-C : Full Review
Blood-C, I can safely say this show rates amongst the most bloody and gory shows I’ve watched. So I’ll just preface this with a warning, this is not a show to watch with young kids at all. And as the show progresses, it just keeps getting worse and worse. So this is not a show that you would watch with young kids or something who is adverse to those type of things.
Why not start with the story and plot progression that we get over these 12 episodes. In general it leaves you with a ton of questions in every single episode. So many things are strange and odd, you just want to learn more. You keep coming back to watch the next episode in hopes that all these questions get answers that satisfy you. And as the show progresses, I started to get more and more worried about getting those answers. By the final episode, I think what I can say is this feels like a long extended prologue. It ends in a place that sets up future stories and development with many questions still left unanswered. Now what I don’t know is how many of these will be answered in the sequel movie, or the various shows that came before this that seem to follow other characters and places in the world. But I am interested enough that I will watch the movie, and potentially get around to watching the earlier stuff.
Side characters in this show were all enjoyable, and had quirks that worked with the mystery that the story kept presenting. Odd things would happen and the characters would react in ways you would not expect. And do things that just don’t feel natural, and it works well in mixing that mystery from the plot into the day to day episodes.
Those day to day episodes are largely of the same format, slice of life school stuff and than some gory action to finish the episode. With that format starting to change the longer the show progresses. While I will say it works well for the most part, after awhile it starts to get a bit boring to be honest. When I know how the episode will finish something ends up being a bit repetitive and I started to look for stuff to start changing.
Some odds and ends to finish up. The visuals of the shows I don’t feel were anything special, pretty normal for that age of the show. Main thing that ends up standing out is all the blood and the gore. If anything stood out it would have been the combat, some of it does look good and smooth. The OP and ED songs I did like, and I did enjoy some of the tracks playing during the show.
In general I think my final opinion is kinda reliant on a movie I haven’t seen yet. This felt so much like a prologue, that I need to see were that movie goes. But since I have to say something, I think I have to give it a below average score. I liked the show, but it just feels like part of a large story that still needs to be told.
