Blood+

Katsuji Morishita's anime series Blood + is based of the movie Blood: The Last Vampire. The series follows a seemingly normal high school girl named Saya Otonashi. Under the care of her adopted family, Saya has been living the life of a normal high school student other than needing regular blood transfusions. Her normal life is ended after she is attacked by a Chiropteran and her step dad is killed. She then learns that she is the only one who can defeat them. Armed with her katana, Saya goes on a journey with her step brothers Kai and Riku, their allies, and her chevalier Haji, to rid the world of the Chiropteran threat and rediscover her identity and what she did in her past. Saya eventually learns that she has a younger sister called Diva and that they were both born in 1883. She also learns that the reason why her blood is able to kill Chiropterans is because she is also a Chiropteran, and she only has a short time to kill her sister and the other Chiropterans before she falls back into a thirty year sleep. Diva and Saya can turn people into Chevaliet's by letting them drink their blood. In the end Saya kills her sister and all of Diva's Chevaliet's, and gives Kai Diva's and Riku's children to take care of before she falls back into her long sleep. Overall I liked the series and the plot that it followed. I just wish that the series didn't end with Saya in a thirty year sleep, and I also wish they had dubbed the last scene of the series instead of subbing it.
