Blood Lad was a good show overall, there's only a few minor problems that I had with it. The fist of which is that, many times, the places they were in were completely void of people other than the main characters. It would've been nice if there were more extras in the background. The lack of people made it seem like the places they were in were desolate, even when they were in cities. Luckily, this problem was remedied towards the end. The other issue is that there's no way to tell how the different places they go to are connected. There was never an ... overhead view or a map that pointed out all of the different locations. There are also a lot of isolated views. They never really show too much of the location that they are in, so it's hard to get a grasp of the locations.

The show has a good story which really started to pick up towards the end of the show. It seems like there will be a second season. There's also some funny parts in each episode. I look forward to reading the manga and hopefully watching a second season if there is one.

I'm very glad that I chose to watch this anime. It caught my attention at the first episode. The scenery, the animation, the style, the characters, the soundtrack, and everything else are all great parts of the series. I see no flaws. I loved every episode. The characters are well developed and the story seems to have set itself up for a sequel. Which would be great. I haven't read the manga yet, but I'm really looking forward to it. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find any US English versions of the volumes (Scanlations not included). I think I will probably just buy them ... from Madman. I'm buying the Blu-rays, which have English subs from Amazon Japan and I look forward to their arrival. I can't wait to continue such a great story. The show captivates me. I really loved the soundtrack as well. It has a great opening and ending. I really can't praise the series enough. I give everything a 10/10. I hope everyone enjoys this show as much as I have.

It's always difficult for me to put a number and rate series that I have watched and as a result my numerical ratings tend to vary greatly. I can best express my opinions of a show through words.

After the first episode this show began to draw me in. I was really interested in it. The story seemed very interesting and I liked all of the characters. I ended up liking the show more and more as I continued watching. In addition to the plot and characters I also really enjoyed the scenery, art, concept, and soundtrack. This show had a lot of great things going ... for it but there were a few places where it fell short.

I liked the nature and Japanese lore premise that the series employed. The soundtrack matched it perfectly and the art was beautiful. The characters were great and I really like them. These are all categories which the series excelled in.

This show had a few things that really held it back. The most prominent of these things and likely the cause of it's other flaws is due to the length of the series. I feel that there just weren't enough episodes to work with. With only twelve episodes the series seemed rushed other elements suffered because of it.

These elements include the plot and characters. The plot seemed rushed and as a result it ended up being a bit choppy and confusing. I would watch an episode and then the next week I would be a bit confused about exactly what was going on. Things could have been more developed and better explained. The characters could have also been better developed. I found myself a bit confused about the Souda twins especially. The plot did an okay job wrapping everything up, but again, it seemed a bit rushed and underdeveloped.

I think that if this series was longer and if the P.A Works had more episodes to work with that things could have been better explained and better developed.

All in all I really enjoyed the show and it's flaws all stemmed from the fact that the show seemed too short. The series does hint at a potential sequel which I would definitely like to see. Despite its flaws I would still recommend this to any anime fan, but specifically those with and interest in traditional Japanese culture.
