Pros: Excellent artwork and a great story. Cons: Too bad it ends so soon...
As I’ve said in countless other anime reviews, I’m by no means an expert when it comes to Japanese animation. In fact, the little I know about the artform comes mostly from reading reviews by more knowledgeable critics and discussing the phenomena with...
Pros: Excellent animation and direction, bilingual voiceovers Cons: Too short, story is incomplete, I want more, etc.
James Cameron says of it, "Digital imaging has entered a new era. The world will come to consider this work as the standard of top quality in digital animation." Andy Wachowski gushes, "It was beautiful. It was as if the art of Francis Bacon had come to...

This is the story of Saya, a vampire. It is the year 1966 in Japan, at an American air base. She has been recruited by the US government hunt down these things called Chiropterans. Basically they are demons that can shape change (so they can ...
Well, it’s 1am, so what does that mean? That’s right, your random anime movie review. There are actually two other non-anime movies I should review, but I’m lazy and they’re complex (film class screenings), so I’m going for simple ...
Pros: Very compact offering of beautiful, adrenaline-pumping, ass kickery. And ends with a message. Cons: Now I'll have to go hunt for more anime movies.
I've made it no secret to my anime-loving friends that I fucking hate Japanese animation, whether it be Dragonball Z, Digimon, or "mature" features such as Ninja Scroll. It's not the potentially offensive content that ...
Pros: Superb and very detailed animation & artwork Cons: A whole lot of whys
Taking place during 1966 in Japan, before the United States launches its attack on Vietnam. The government has other concerns dealing with vampire like, shape shifting creatures called Chiropterans. The creatures are blending in with ...
Pros: Animation, story, suspense, bi-lingual Cons: Only 45 minutes
I don't watch that many anime movies. Of course I've seen Akira and both Vampire Hunter D movies, but it doesn't go much beyond that. It takes more than scantily clad women killing grotesque monsters to get me to turn on the DVD player and that's...
Pros: Beautiful action, animation, atmosphere, and design. Cons: "She is the only remaining original!" Somewhat Short
Japanese Animation has always been ahead of American for quite a while. In fact, Japanese animation has the content to take on the American movie market.
Like the American movie market, the Japanese animation movies have to go through...
Pros: Great direction, music, atmosphere, art, Bilingual film, and great sound Cons: It is too Short and underdeveloped!!
In order to understand how I rated this, you must know that I consider Blood: The Last Vampire to not really be a complete story, but only a part of a much bigger tale. I really like Blood, I just want to see more pretty much sums up this review....
Pros: exquisite CGI, breathtaking shading and lighting effects, progressively suspenseful musical score Cons: way too short (leaving storyline open for a continuing series), wide screen only format
Blood: The Last Vampire is one small step towards entertaining animé fans, and one giant leap towards bending the threshold in what Japanese animators can and can't do with technology.
The story takes place in Yakota Air Force Base in 1966,...
Pros: Gorgeous Animation, Great sound, Replayable Cons: Short Movie
Sure it's only 46 minutes...but it's so good you just won't care. I've noticed that at least a few other reviewers mentioned that the storyline was 'incomplete' or left too much to be desired. I disagree. The storyline wielded a very high degree of ...
Pros: Takes the Vampire Genre to the Next Level Cons: Very Short (50 minutes), Little Character Development
Blood: The Last Vampire (2000) is an original video animation (OAV) that sets place in post-World War II Japan. The story begins on an American Yokota Air Base just a few months before the beginning of the Vietnam War. The protagonist is a ...

Pros: great animation, good execution of story Cons: not a very compelling story to begin with
To begin with the negative...
It's a very short movie created by the same team that did the phenomenal Serial Experiments: Lain. But the story itself is very thin, and leaves a lot of holes and unanswered questions, unasked answers. The plot is...
A team of top-secret undercover agents dispatches a mysterious young woman to destroy vampires that have infiltrated a U.S. military base in Japan. Cr...More at HotMovieSale.com
