Blood+ MAL Review
Note: This was the anime that started my MAL account - it was so bad, I felt I had to write an essay on it, hahaha. Tell the world how bad it was, offering catharsis. TLDR: Watch Episode 30, and then return to the beginning (anytime from Episode 1 - 5). You'll thank me later. Full version: Plot holes, plot holes everywhere. I was very excited going in. 50 episodes of what seemed like a promising series, good looking characters, and a bad ass female heroine? Sign me up, vampire novels (especially from Laurell K. Hamilton) are some of my most-loved books. Well, if you're also a fan of those books, don't bother with this trash, it's closer to Twilight in terms of poor quality. Biggest problem: It moves too slow. No anime, movie, or media, should take 30 episodes (that's 30*30 mins = 900 mins = 15 hours) to tell us a backstory that literally took 15 MINUTES. I'm serious - if you skip Episodes 1 - 29, you won't miss anything. We don't learn anything about
