Review of Blood: The Last Vampire (2000) by Zak G — 06 Sep 2004

It's how it goes these days, waiting for the impending doom that is Panera Bread.

So I sit down last night to watch a couple of anime films before I go to bed. I own both of these films, yet I haven't watched either of them in quite a while. First up was BLOOD:THE LAST VAMPIRE, which is an absolutely beautiful piece of animation. While the film itself is quite beautiful, and it has a compelling story, it's way too short. It lasts only 45 minutes, and when it was over, I was kind of pissed. There could have been more. They could have done more. They didn't though, and that was my problem with the film. Otherwise, it's well worth it if you're a fan of the anime..............

Which brings me to that classic anime film, VAMPIRE HUNTER D. When you watch it, you can tell it's a bit dated, but it's still a great experience. D is one hella badass and the film is violent, and great to look at, even though some of the animation, as I said before, is a bit dated. It's still a landmark anime film, much like AKIRA, and one that any self-respecting fan of anime must see and own.

That's the happs, kids.
