I'm gonna start off and say I have not seen anything else in this series or franchise or whatever, so I'm not gonna make any comparisons. What I will say is that I did overall enjoy Blood C. It was gory, action packed and I actually think it was a decent show.
Now I'm gonna say that Saya is an odd character. She goes from sweet ditzy schoolgirl to badass monster killer at the drop of a hat, and it honestly seems like they are two very different people. Saya is super cute, and her desire to protect everyone is rather endearing, while not being

entirely annoying. Badass Saya is kind of cold hearted, and I wish I saw more of her backstory and personality. She kind of reminds me of Moka Akashiya from Rosario+Vampire actually.
Other characters like her various friends at school manage to not detract from the series. They get just enough airtime that I don't find the 'filler' to really be filler. They show the juxtaposition between normal saya and her bizarrely bland and sheltered life with badass Saya who can kill a monster with one blow.
Her father and the shop owner do keep me from being completely lulled by her boring day life. They manage to be somewhat unsettling in how they treat her, especially in how they speak to her. I'm not going to get into it however.
Things I didn't like were probably the annoying censorship that was super inconsistent and obvious. You see blood in one shot, but they just add the most glaringly obvious white or black bar in another. It kind of defeats its purpose because you still see the gory details anyway since they don't keep the bar up. I dunno, that was real stupid to me.
Sometimes the music also did not fit the mood of a scene, and that made scenes feel weird and wrong for no reason. It wasn't the whole series, but some in the beginning especially were like that.
In general I am really liking this series. I mean characters and storyline are decent, and I did enjoy the fight scenes a lot. I will say that if you like action at every given moment, this will probably not be for you as there is a decent amount of time spent with her at school and doing mundane things. This is important to the plot though, so I still recommend you watch it. Hope this helps
