Blood: The Last Vampire (2000)

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Watched #Blood....This is an A rated anime about a vampire works for government secret service killing the daemons which survive on human blood....The movie has badass action sequences and brilliant animation. You will really like the badass poker faced serious chief character Saya. The short film simply increases your hunger and you will be wanting more.... The screenplay and direction is also top notch....The only down side is that it is a short film.... 45 minutes is too less fir a movie of this calibre. The movie depicts an incident and ends with many unanswered questions and the thirst of more! More ! MOre ! MORe ! MORE !....#mustWatch for every anime and action lovers and all the guys out there.... p.s.... I'm not talking about Disney movie lovers....

I watched this movie out of curiosity, because it reminded me of Blood+. I notice they pay very, very much attention to detail. There are some scenes, like the beginning part with the train, that I was amazed by. It was so realistic, so detailed. But later in the movie, when Saya was staring at the nurse lady, why was she doing that? At the end, when they find out Saya was a vampire, why was she killing the monsters? That's why I didn't like it much. There was no explanation of what was going on. Really.BUT, if you really want to know what's going on, I suggest you watch the anime series Blood+. It's a lot like Blood: The Last Vampire. I think it's the same story. There's a lot of explanation in it, and it IS on Netflix. ...Thanks for reading my worthless rant.

Recap: On a school in an American military base in Japan, suddenly a girl, sent by a mysterious organisation, appears and starts to kill man-eating demons (that disguises themselves as pupils). After some fighting and an anticlimactic end fight, it ends.Comments: Why? How? Who? Those are the questions that never get answered in this movie. Those are also the questions that need to be answered if you are to have any success telling a story. You need to explain, at least to some small extent, give a hint, who the main character are, what they are doing and a reason why. You need to establish what or who the antagonists are. You can do this at the start at the movie, unravel it as it goes or reveal the shocking truth at the end. You need to answer those questions! If you don't, you get a real crappy story. This one did.The trivia section of this movie states: "This was originally supposed to be a three episode OAV series, but due to a lack of time and money, only the middle segment was animated and given theatrical distribution." This is about the only thing about the movie that makes sense, although it is not stated anywhere near the actual movie. Because my feeling was exactly that it felt like I had missed the beginning that established and explained the characters and the plot. And that there was no real ending. Which is exactly what seemed to have happened.The animation is interesting, switching between "normal" and 3D. Mostly the quality of the animation is good, most characters beautiful work. But what does that matter when the story is all but non-existent? Nothing.2/10

I am a big fan of anime and I love the Japanese with their beautiful artwork, quirky or just plain weird characters and overly intricate stories. I watched Blood: The Last Vampire and then sold the DVD if that says anything. It has some good moments and some good art; however, the story is brief without any backstory to flesh it out and the actions of the characters don't always make sense.One of the main characters is just plain annoying and I found myself wishing for her demise a short way in. The 45 minute "film" lacked a director that could present a flowing cut section from an ongoing story. All you'll see here are good angles for scenes and a somewhat chopped up story that leaves you wishing you could get your money back for the DVD.
