Blood: The Last Vampire - trailer

In the fall of 1966, tensions run high on the U.S. Air Force base in Japan on the eve of the Vietnam War. After a series of suspicious suicides in a nearby town, an additional threat has infiltrated the military compound - vampires. A covert team of government agents committed to the elimination of vampires dispatch a mysterious young woman named Saya, who in the guise of a schoolgirl, must uncover the origin of the demonic plague, eliminate the ghastly beasts and stop their reign of terror before time runs out. She is the last remaining original.

Painstakingly animated by the masters of Japan's Production I.G. studios (Dead Leaves, Ghost in the Shell, Kai Doh Maru, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Kill Bill), Blood: The Last Vampire is the first fully digital work of animation ever produced. Conceived in cooperation with Mamoru Oshii (Director, Ghost in the Shell, Patlabor -- The Movie, Patlabor 2), and Directed by Hiroyuki Kitakubo (Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Black Magic M-66), the film features character designs by charismatic illustrator Katsuya Terada (Mirai Ninja, Zeiram), dynamic digital sound mixed in Hollywood and the voice talents of Youki Kodoh (Snow Falling on Cedars) as Saya. The film opened in mid-November of 2000 at Cine Saison Shibuya and several other major cities throughout Japan. Blood also played a limited theatrical run in the U.S. and was one of the first-ever features to be streamed over the Internet the day of its release on DVD.

@MsTwilightbunny10001 I think blood+ is better, personally.

@CastleTsar

Blood+ is better than nothing. One of I.G.'s poorest productions ever, not only do they massively alter the main character, stripping her completely of the hard-assed edge that made her unique in the OVA, but they incredibly managed to make her essentially useless for the entirety of the show. She starts off inept and ineffectual and ends up only marginally less inept and ineffectual.

At least Blood-C, which can't really be described as 'good', had some truly shocking moments.

The live action of Blood the last Vampire was utterly terrible. The original is simply a masterpiece. Although, I find it hard to relate to Saya in this one because, she isn't that light-hearted girl I knew in Blood plus. She's more silent yet, deadly individual that's very diligent in battle. but, something about Saya from the series made me favor her more...

Blood + is only good if you haven't seen this and you prefer cliched paint by numbers anime plot with a tacky love story tacted in on both sides. That show was a POOR representation of the Blood franchise. I'm glad Blood C fixed some of those problems and didn't draw out longer than it needed to be. Blood + was boring and frankly carried on WAAY too long. The characters were uninteresting and lack personality. Haji's as interesting as watching mushrooms grow.

[Acid4Blood]

Anyone that saw the movie remake with real people...you just fucked up real time, the only way to truly enjoy the masterpiece is to watch the original manga version of it.
