Blood-C is a badly executed anime with a good concept and a good story. There's no real developpement until the last episodes and that's why it's hard to appreciate. I think I liked it more because I watched it all in one go, it's a lot less painful that way. My other advice would be to watch the unscencored DVD and BD version because the gore is one of the most extreme in recent anime.
Story 6/10 (8/10 with the ending)
The story is almost non-existent until the last episodes, it's mostly atmosphere and events without clear context. It pays off in the end, because those "useless"
...
episodes have a purpose in the long run. The ending is the best part of the show and left me wanting more. I certainly cannot wait for the movie sequel to come out!
Character (4.5/10)
No real character developpement. It's only in the last episode that we see glimpse of interesting characters, but we're gonna wait for the movie to see more of them.
Art & Sound (8.5/10)
The art is from CLAMP and production IG kept it good till the end. The combat were brutal and incredibly bloody when it wasn't censored. The music is the best part. The soundtrack really gave emotions to scene that would have been bland.
Conclusion 7/10
All in all, it's a good story backed up by beautiful art and music. The pacing issues are really troublesome in the first 5 episodes. I highly recommend watching it in one go for a better enjoyment! This season felt like a 12 episodes trailer for an awesome movie. Count me hooked for Blood-C: The Last Dark.
