Man I'm watching Blood C right now and well looking online there is a lot of hate. But why? This show is pretty ok.
I loved it. Mostly because the series ties it back into the Watanuki centered clamp universe
I'm not a big Clamp fan, but I guess seeing the dude from XXHolic was cool, though I don't know the ramifications behind it.
But I mean I don't get the hate. People seem to hate it because either they dislike the twist and for some reason think it's a big F U. But I'm not sure how it is. They show creates the idea that things are off and not what they seem. It has tons of scenes that seem strange and incorrect ,but in the end all make sense. That's why I liked it. The show seems tightly plotted and a mystery that allows you to go back and say "oh well I see what that meant". Let alone the fact that it was geniuely intriguing to me and I wanted to figure what the heck was going on. I'm happy the twist was crazy, because I wanted a big pay off.
People complained about the violence, but I say boo whoo. This is anime and it was great to see one that was off the wall like this again. I'm sorry, I'm one of those peeps who stereotypicaly dislikes modern anime and well it was nice to see something like this again. Not only that, it helped to show set it's really creepy and not scary, but horror tone. The monsters behaved and looked pretty creepy. Horror is disgust and well this show achieved that.
As for the movie. It looked pretty, but I'm not sure I liked the pay off. I'm not sure I liked what the villain's real goal was. I guess it's very Clamp though. Though you think Saya would stop drinking coffee now.
Either way I don't get this show's terrible reputation. I watched everything in one sitting and I hardly do that these days.
