Absolutely superb.

The series was mentioned from time to time from various sources, yet it can easily go unnoticed from its simple premise. Don’t make that mistake! A must watch. Wonderful first episode. Great music, tasteful animation style, laugh out loud humor, interesting and well rounded characters. Everything that says, more please.

Not too shabby. First episode was well executed and entertaining — definitely developed enough interest to keep watching. The characters are the usual suspects: a man with mysterious skills that may have a troubled past, and a noble but semi-naive altruistic girl who doesn’t know when to call quits.

As you watch the anime you may feel nostalgic with the outfit designs and environmental settings. The animation was decent and music wasn’t annoying. Should be action packed. Should be a decent series.

Fairly enjoyable and certainly not one of the worse series out there. Great music, decent action and animations — though there were the occasional hiccups with the animations. Plot was well rounded, except for a few holes here and there. Plenty of characters and none of them completely worthless.

Blood+ certainly won’t redefine the genre, but it definitely had some of its own moments.

Early spring 2007. Look forward to it.

Hmm. Can’t seem to find the words to describe it. There’s something about this series that makes it feel spooky to me, even though it’s not scary at all. It’s definitely different from your usual fare. Watching it made me sleepy — but in a good way. It’s a supernatural series. A guy goes around helping people within his area of expertise. Sounds boring? Well, uh, it’s not.

1-2

Was quite interesting. Who’s that. What’s that? Hah, that was cliche but it’s still funny. Hmm, so magical powers eh? Oh well, interesting enough to keep watching.

3-7

Hmm. Some very corny action. Lots of intentional parody and exaggeration on anime within the genre. Character developments are slow, but apparent. There seems to be a more in-depth and dark background story, thankfully enough to keep interest level steady. Animation, music, and dialogue continues to be pretty decent.

8-13

Uh. Yeah it’s definitely getting dark. More character development and revelations. Even more fan service. Real baddies starting to appear? Ends the middle of the series with a nice big bang. Once again, even with its many quirks, still watchable.

Another surprise. A prequel one-shot OVA to the TV series, Right of Left introduces some new characters and manages to build up relationships within a 50 minute time frame.

Consistently showcased strong dialogue and beautiful backdrops. It carried on many of the melodramatic themes from the TV series, but it also had its own moments.

Fans of the series should not miss Right of Left.

1-26 through the weekend.

End stories could have been knit together tighter, certain character development were iffy towards the end. Still, development is better than none.

Maintained a certain level of science fiction realism with plausible political backdrops. Very decent music, animation, and directing. Another definite worthwhile watch.

This series was a complete pleasant surprise. The last few episodes definitely took a different turn, but for the better. Rushed a bit? Cliché ending obstacles?

It doesn’t diminish the fact that the series contained great directing, music, and animation. Only 23 episodes, doesn’t drag on, highly watchable.
