It’s hyperviolent, gory as all-get out, and deals with all manner of unsavory subject matter. It’s kind of like Men in Black meets The Good Place but with more gruesome murder than you can shake a stick at.
They found themselves trapped in a life-or-death struggle against alien monsters with other recently deceased people at the behest of a mysterious black orb. When high school students Kei Kurono and Masaru Katowere hit by a train while trying to save a homeless man, they didn’t go to some paradisiacal afterlife where they lounged on fluffy, white clouds eating delicious grapes and plucking harps. Based on the film Blood: The Last Vampire, Blood+ starts as a fairly by-the-books story of Saya, an amnesiac girl who encounters a world of blood-sucking murdermonsters, and evolves into a genre-bending, addictive, and often unsettling anime for people who love Buffy the Vampire Slayer and like seeing vampire fiction with a fresh twist–one where anemia is finally cool.
While the conceit of a seemingly ordinary teenage girl fighting monsters by night may not be the most original in the world, Blood+ shows why it’s a narrative trope in the first place.
