Which sucks since another animated season could actually finish the main plot.Full Metal Panic actually got a new series a few years ago, and it was really good too, but nobody gave a shit about it.
I couldn't even tell you if Blood+ was any good. It's been so long, and I remember very little. Is it streaming anywhere? It's not hte longest show and might be worth a rewatch.
The majority of anime discussion today seems based around trying to watch as much new content as humanly possible. Not much time to talk aout something 6 months old, let alone something years old, when you're trying to watch every single show as it airs in order to chat on social media.

This is brilliantly horrible. Please tell me you've got part 3 somewhere. 😂
Damn, well I doubt it had a brilliant comedic denoument and 2 parts is still enough to get the idea, I was just hoping.I don't. Got taken down 10 years ago, and I have absolutely no idea what happened to the file. We copied it off a VHS from an anime club I was with (we weren't the ones who did the dub).
Believe me friend, you're preaching to the choir. It's the same mindset that made me go to websites like Rotten.com and 4chan. Because I was a rebel and a badass and gore and nudity was cool and that meant I was cool for watching it and it didn't even phase me man.you don't understand. I was a Freshman in high school and it was SO VIOLENT AND GROSS and that was very cool. I had never seen anything like it.
I rewatched it like three or four years ago, and it's not a good show, but I don't think it's like, the worst thing ever either. I recall finding reasons for some of the violence and porn, b ut they're surface level and I don't really remember what they were.
Read or Die TV. So many people I think have seen the OVA, but not the full show.
At least this show has gotten some love recently since it appears in Super Robot Wars.
Oh is your username from the Ferio from MKR?
I loved Blood+. Sad Blood C wasn't great, I'd love them to try bring the franchise back again.
Also, another show with some phenomenal openings:
You take that back, Blood-C is amazing! (The movie sucks.)
I've been wanting to revisit Blood+ but no blu-ray. Oh shit, a BD boxset came out in Japan back in 2020. 👀 I wonder if that'll get brought over, not sure who still has the English rights to it. Hopefully it isn't a shitty upscale.
I got big into anime in the early 2000s and was hooked by fansubs of most of the big late 90s stuff.
Favorite anime still is Haibane Renmei from 2002.
And just to post some random old stuff that everyone forgot about...
It is absolutely surreal seeing Utena references in a handful of Western shows the past decade.
Found screenshots of the BD boxset. It's an upscale and a badly filtered one at that. Woof.I haven't seen Blood C in a while, but I remember the ending of the show just falling flat for me. It is a series I'd like to revisit sometime, trying not to burden it with the huge expectations I had when I first watched it.
I'd buy a new BD boxset for Blood+ in a heartbeat.
To be fair, shitty sequels killed Eureka SevenYou couldn't talk anime on the net without discussing these. WHere did the years go, am I going to turn into one of those "anime was better when you had kazaa real media files with badly translated piss yellow subtitles" anime nerds?
Yeah totally agree with you there. I had my stints on 4chan for the edge/shock back in high school and college. Glad I grew out of that.Believe me friend, you're preaching to the choir.

Shit, I'm in my 30s still with some of those same sensibilities. Berserk is one of my favorite things EVER. I just don't /need/ gore and badassery anymore. Back then I did it to show off. Now I just watch what piques my interest, and I tend to like things that are a bit dark. But there needs to be a deeper reason behind it. Elfen Lied is just shallow.

Yeah, I did fansubs editing at AonE.
