As a fan of Blood+, Blood C anime would be definitely a good news. When I saw the first episode of the series, I thought that the battle scene is somewhat like from the Blood+ and that's all I can see. To start of:

STORY - 7
There is this typical high school girl named Saya and she always go to school every morning, but every night, Saya was tasked by her father to slay off furukimono-tachi (Elder Bairns). From episode 1 - 12, you can always see that and nothing more. I'm a bit disappointed with the anime because I really hoped for a unique ... plot that's coming from the Blood series and all we get is those battle scenes (though at some point I can't deny that they're still good when the series is in its middle airing).

ART - 8
In one glance, anyone can tell. With those skinny and tall characters, those eyes are like of a doll and sweet and bishie faces that is similar to xxxHolic, Tsubasa Chronicles, CLAMP would be the first thing that came into my mind. The art, although not similar with Blood+, suits Blood C in a unique way and it fits with a bloody/thrilling anime.

MUSIC/SOUND - 7
OP and ED of this series is nice and you can feel the aura that it's all about monster slaying demon's type.

CHARACTERS - 7
A girl who fights demons is not that common. Saya's character is a cheerful type in morning and a serious type at night. Indeed, it is like a shounen character. Her friends characterization is good though these things are very common in this type of anime.

OVERALL - 7
To sum things up, the story is somewhat boring within the first, but still I continued to watch it and some episodes were good and exciting. The main characters reminded me of a mixed up in some of CLAMP series and also, the most related anime, Blood+. The art is good and this is also one of the reasons why I continued and finish to watch Blood C. The OP/ED is good, others are okay. If you're a fan of a dark/gory/thrilling anime, this should fit your taste.

Story(6) - The story started to a wandering/traveling boy named Yukito Kunisaki, who is in search for a girl who can fly float in the sky. Eventually, the dinosaur loving girl Misuzu shows up, and she asked Yukito to play with her and they became friends. As the time passes by, another two girls that were covered with mysteries appeared, and they became Yukito's acquaintances. The story's quality was a mediocre+ for me notwithstanding having different realistic themes. Some of the episodes were repetitive. The new things here are the "Gao" word that was made by Misuzu and the three main heroines wished to fly ... in the sky. Other than that, nothing's special. It's only another ordinary supernatural anime.

Characters(8) - The characters were well-explained because of the character arc. Every arc focuses on one major character but that makes other characters feel like they're left behind. Their personalities were quite unique but not superior.

Music(7) - For a dramatic anime, the bgms fits every scene. The OP and ED matched the series, but they are not exceptional since the music of Air was somewhat similar to other Key/VisualArts project.

Art(8) - The places are realistic, the blending of the colors are good. I just don't like how they draw the eyes of the female characters because it's too big. Also, what's with that placement of the mouth?

Overall(7) - As a whole, Air is only an ordinary dramatic anime that didn't interest me that much(well, just a little). I'm just surprised how the story ended. Dramatic/supernatural/tragedy lovers will probably watch this.
