I've just been watching the raws because I can't wait for the subs anymore. I don't know what the hell's going on, or why Diva...
Spoiler:
I'll have to redownload the eps once they're subbed by Shinsen or Bakazo...something. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Dammit, I'm soooo tempted to watch the raws now. But I feel I'd just be waiting more eagerly for the subs if I watch it >_<
Spoiler:
Would anyone have a translated script of episodes 33,34? This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Blood+ is great, probably the best show of 2006. Its fresh and it has more or less realistic characters. If you are tired of anime stereotypes, give this one a try.
How ya doing, buddy? |
Episodes 33 through 37 have been released in the last week. Characters have changed in appearance but not in attitude. Seems Diva has taken Riku's body or something like that. She looks a lot like him now. Saya is shutting herself out from the others. Kai is more mature and is still in love with her.
I was speaking idiomatically. |
Anybody else still following this series? Things are moving along pretty nicely and the fight scenes are getting the sexy treatment they deserve. I believe the anime's on episode 43 or so, but the sub-groups are taking their sweet time subbing the goodness. A few of the raws are available on youtube for your viewing pleasure~

I'm still following it, mainly just because it's the "another anime under my belt" reason, but it's still enjoyable. Quite slow, but still nice. I don't like Saya's new "I'm a tough bad ass motherfucker" attitude, it's just not her, I don't think. Haji is still the same old Haji. I think I'm up to 37 or 38 with Shinsen subs, I think.
FELIPE NO - What we all do best - |
Yeah, I'm watching the raws also. It's not that difficult to figure out what's going on and you can always check out anime blogs for summaries if you're a little confused.
By the way, does anyone know where I can download any of the three Blood+ mangas? I don't mind if they're raws or scanlations, just want to check out the quality of the art and all. Fifty episodes is a rather large investment for me in DVDs, so I'm thinking about picking up the manga instead. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
I've been looking for the three manga too, since I hear they're actually pretty good. I read the first three chapters of one and the artwork looked nice. The story's different, taking a direction the anime clearly isn't. There's new characters that show up early on who start shit and force Saya to mature a little bit faster.
Production IG released the first chapters from all three manga on their website. They're in PDF format (bleh) but still viewable. I haven't downloaded them yet. Also, on Saya's strength in the anime. Spoiler:

Whao, just watched episode 42.
Spoiler:

I've watched up to episode 43 so far. This is by far one of the best Anime series that I've seen. Back when people were giving up on the earlier episodes, because it was "boring" to them, I kept going and found myself continuously intrigued. The development is excellent, both character-wise and story-wise.
Spoiler:

Yeah hands down blood+ is a very nice show. I like how everything turns out at the moment (episode 43).
I don't think the first few episodes are boring, just the opposite, they are great. How ya doing, buddy? |
I just got done reading the first three chapters of the manga and reading spoilers regarding the manga. It's pretty different from the anime (well, sort of). For one there's a new character that screws with Saya near the beginning. He might be a Chevalier of some kind, but he seems to be pretty strong.
Other than that, the manga's very good. I wish the guy scanlating them would continue, but he can't seem to find any more RAWs and pretty much stopped after chapter 4 (I believe). You can find the first few chapters scanlated here. I was speaking idiomatically. |
Holy fuck man, how many OP themes does Blood need to have. Just when I'm getting settled on the "new theme" a new OP replaces it. I'm at 40 and I really don't like it, but at least I can fast forward . I personally like the first and third one the best. For a 50 episode series, I expected it to have maybe 2 or 3 OP themes max, but whatever. I guess this is the same with Eureka 7.
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? - What we all do best - |
OMG OSAKA.
But yeah, I hear you man. I actually found Season's Call to be my absolute favorite, with the UVerworld one my second. The 4th OP absolutely sucks, though. FELIPE NO |
YOUR EX-WIFE IS NOW HITLERETTE, AND MY RIGHT-HAND (WO)MAN.
The 4th op thats in episode 39 plus? Terrible vocals man. It's been a while since I heard the first OP. 青空のナミダ (Aozora no NAMIDA) by Hitomi Takahashi(1-13), damn, gotta get that song, same with Colors of the Heart. I forgot what the 2nd one sounds like now =/ (Too lazy to take out that dusty DVD to just listen to it) What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? - What we all do best - |
Season's Call - Hyde
There's the 2nd OP. The first one wasn't memorable, IMO. Sounded pretty generic. But here it is anyway: First OP. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
I'm the opposite. Perhaps I prefer faster tempo Jpop rather than the Jrock/alternative. It's not bad by any means, but it's not
I generally prefer OP themes such as this to have a more of a variety of chances in the melodic intervals as well as if it's in the minor key. EDIT: Nevermind, it's in the major key, just my lack of remembering what it sounded like, plus it's rock. There's nowhere I can't reach. - What we all do best -

I can't say that I'm too surprised that there seems to be a lot of complaints about the fourth opening since the vocals aren't exactly what most would normally listen to. That's not to say that I listen to these kinds of "weird" vocals everyday, but I personally didn't really find any problems with the song myself when I first heard it on episode 39, and actual do listen to it on occasions here and there now. I never gave the third opening a chance, but I do like the first and second one. I wouldn't exactly call the second one "rock" myself.

Well, after watching the raw for episode 46 and reading a summary of what happened, I can kind of see the series ending at episode 50 now, especially once you figure out what the promise was between Haji and Saya roughly a century ago.
Though with so many Chevaliers still alive, I am a little bit concerned. Spoiler:
Saya needs to drink a shitload of blood to make a difference in the next four episodes. I can't see any other way for her to even stand toe-to-toe with Diva now. I was speaking idiomatically. |
Honestly though, I'm somewhat disappointed that Saya hasn't fully wakened up yet. She still seems quite lacking in real combat skills and finds most of Diva's minions still difficult to fight.
Spoiler:

In the manga raws I've been reading (or staring at, since I can't read Japanese), Saya actually gets her arm cut off in a fight. She's able to heal the wound/reattach it, but it was still something I haven't seen her do in the anime yet. We might see glimpses of the extent of Saya and Diva's powers in the manga before we do in the anime.
Spoiler:
I imagine Saya will have to suck somebody dry just to stand a chance. I don't want any of this "I'll never give in to being a monster!" bullshit and she beats Diva on determination or some crappy 'fluke.' I want to see them both got at it full strength, no-holds barred, in gravy sauce (but only if Diva's not a shota). Spoiler:
How ya doing, buddy? |
Spoiler:
I hate those endings too, but meh. It doesn't have to absolutely be an unseen or unpredicted force that will help conclude the final battle, but I won't be surprised that one of the fallen alies may come back again, some how, and grant Saya some life force to revive her. We'll just have to wait and see. Diva killing everyone would be splendid.
