Blood Lad (Anime) add

Recommended

I love vampires. And I loved the Blood Lad manga...from the point I read up to. I await for the next volume to be out in the US.

The moment I heard of the anime, I put it on my instant "plan to watch list" in my head. (As this was before I joined MAL). (Side note): Okay. So, when I heard it was going to be 10 episodes, I kind of freaked out a bit and since Wikipedia was being edited constantly between 10 and 12 episodes, I didn't know what to believe.

Anyway, for this review, I'll start to say:

When I watched the ... first few episodes, I loved how closely it followed the manga. I loved how it was almost exactly like the manga, except for maybe a few event rearrangements, but I didn't really care about that. After around episode seven though, I was wondering... "how are they going to wrap up this anime"?

Then it dawned upon me: "It's going to end with Staz and Fuyumi are going to go through the doorway, and the vampire hunt will begin". I got the door part right. I got the vampire part wrong. So, I was right about how it would end to a 50% tangent. I was disappointed it ended the way it ended, so -2 on enjoyment.

So, yeah, it covers the first six volumes of the manga, that's it. So, 8/10 on story, 8/10 on enjoyment.

Art: 9/10.

The art is fine. There's nothing wrong with the art, and I really enjoy how it looks in the anime. In fact, it's better in the anime because I get to see what the mangaka's art looks like...animated! It's great--like any other manga that became an anime.

Sound: 6/10.

I have Asperger's. So the loud noises really bothered me when I was watching Blood Lad. I had to pause for a few minutes because the sound effects really got to me, and I tried hard to ignore the sound effects, I couldn't--they were too loud for me. The music was okay, though, I did enjoy the music to some degree.

Character: 7/10.

There's not a lot of character development. That's not bad or anything, but Staz develops nicely, imo. Fuyumi, Bell, Wolf and Staz, don't though, that didn't bug me, but I wanted to see Fuyumi develop a tiny bit. Liz was a great character, btw. I loved all the characters. Especially Staz, Fuyumi, Bell and Beros...despite her not being in it a lot. All of tears.

Overall:

8/10.

The anime was great, BUT THEN IT WAS OVER. And I was upset by that. The anime had so much potential, but then it ended the exact way I knew it would, I didn't want it to be that way. But it was a really good and fun summer anime, probably the best Black Comedy I ever watched. I want, no, I need a season 2.

Watch it if you like ten episode anime and black comedy.

Black★Rock Shooter (TV) (Anime) add

Recommended

This anime is either hit or miss. It all started out as a song by Hatsune Miku. Listen to that before watching this. Watch the OVA, too.

Okay, so, I watched all eight episodes. It didn't take me long since it's really short. But honestly, it was way too short. That's the only bad thing, really. The only bad thing. If you don't like super short anime, then don't watch this one. But if you like sexy girls, then YES WATCH THIS ANIME BLACK ROCK SHOOTER IS SEXY. She is really sexy, honestly.

Okay, so the story is just as it says. But it's a ...
