Blood-C

I just finished watching the latter 6 episodes of Blood-C all in a row.  The first part of the series was standard monster-of-the-week fare, and I almost gave up on watching the rest because of that.  But after reading somewhere that the series had a complete shift in tone with episode 5, I decided to give it one last shot.  I really can't say much about the series without giving things away, but it had so many "OH!" moments throughout that I am in an emotional turmoil.  I swear I spent most of the last two episodes with my mouth hanging open.  Whether that was from awe or sheer terror I cannot really say.  If only the movie were coming out this month instead of in June.


Let me warn my extremely small audience (if I even have one) that it is an extremely gory series.  Nico Nico Douga censored out the worst of it (which I found distracting) but thanks to Gestalt, my brain was able to fill in the blanks with ease.  While I abhor censorship, I am hesitant to watch the uncensored version, as Blood-C has to be one of the most brutal anime series I have ever seen, and I have seen plenty of 1980s OAVs so I am no stranger to anime gore.

I hesitate to say more as I do not wish to ruin the experience for anyone.  Literally every detail is significant.
