Blood-C

One of the new Summer '11 shows. As the title suggests, it's a new Blood The Last Vampire Series. What's the C stand for? Good question. The C stands for Clamp. For those not in the know, Clamp is the group that has given us Cardcaptor Sakura, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles, xxxHolic and a couple of other shows and manga. I was quite shocked and still not sure what to think or expect from the first episode I've seen. In fact the main character Saya, didn't quite have the same feel. I don't know if it's due to the Clamp touch or just an alteration to the story. Don't expect any part of Blood+ to grace this series. Although I really enjoyed Blood+, I promise not to judge this new series too quickly. In the case of both Clamp and Blood, they're both slow starters so I'll be patient with it. I do find it interesting though to see this series brought out in Clamp's art style (tall and lanky characters), so that's something else to get used to. This marks the 4th rendition of the Blood story. First came the animated film Blood The Last Vampire, then came the anime series Blood+, next they brought us the live action Blood The Last Vampire (aka Last Blood) and now this one. Blood+ showed that Saya's story does much better as a series over movies. So I do hold some hope for this new one.

I'll add a pic later to show the new Saya and art style.
