by Mike_Bracken  in Movies,  - Top 50, Aug 30 '02
Pros: Excellent artwork and a great story.
Cons: Too bad it ends so soon...
As I’ve said in countless other anime reviews, I’m by no means an expert when it comes to Japanese animation. In fact, the little I know about the artform comes mostly from reading reviews by more knowledgeable critics and discussing the phenomena with...

Pros: Excellent animation and direction, bilingual voiceovers
Cons: Too short, story is incomplete, I want more, etc.
James Cameron says of it, "Digital imaging has entered a new era. The world will come to consider this work as the standard of top quality in digital animation." Andy Wachowski gushes, "It was beautiful. It was as if the art of Francis Bacon had come to...

Pros: Animation, language decision
Cons: Purpose?
Well, it’s 1am, so what does that mean? That’s right, your random anime movie review. There are actually two other non-anime movies I should review, but I’m lazy and they’re complex (film class screenings), so I’m going for simple ...

Pros: Very compact offering of beautiful, adrenaline-pumping, ass kickery. And ends with a message.
Cons: Now I'll have to go hunt for more anime movies.
I've made it no secret to my anime-loving friends that I fucking hate Japanese animation, whether it be Dragonball Z, Digimon, or "mature" features such as Ninja Scroll. It's not the potentially offensive content that ...

Pros: Animation, story, suspense, bi-lingual
Cons: Only 45 minutes
I don't watch that many anime movies. Of course I've seen Akira and both Vampire Hunter D movies, but it doesn't go much beyond that. It takes more than scantily clad women killing grotesque monsters to get me to turn on the DVD player and that's...

Pros: Beautiful action, animation, atmosphere, and design.
Cons: "She is the only remaining original!" Somewhat Short
Japanese Animation has always been ahead of American for quite a while. In fact, Japanese animation has the content to take on the American movie market.
Like the American movie market, the Japanese animation movies have to go through...

Pros: Great direction, music, atmosphere, art, Bilingual film, and great sound
Cons: It is too Short and underdeveloped!!
In order to understand how I rated this, you must know that I consider Blood: The Last Vampire to not really be a complete story, but only a part of a much bigger tale. I really like Blood, I just want to see more pretty much sums up this review....

by sir_trancelot , Sep 11 '01
Pros: exquisite CGI, breathtaking shading and lighting effects, progressively suspenseful musical score
Cons: way too short (leaving storyline open for a continuing series), wide screen only format
Blood: The Last Vampire is one small step towards entertaining animé fans, and one giant leap towards bending the threshold in what Japanese animators can and can't do with technology.
The story takes place in Yakota Air Force Base in 1966,...

Pros: Gorgeous Animation, Great sound, Replayable
Cons: Short Movie
Sure it's only 46 minutes...but it's so good you just won't care. I've noticed that at least a few other reviewers mentioned that the storyline was 'incomplete' or left too much to be desired. I disagree. The storyline wielded a very high degree of ...

Pros: Amazing animation, 3D CG is perfect.
Cons: I really can't think of any.
Blood: was such a fantastic movie, I found myself watching it twice before returning it to the rental store. Then I went and bought my own copy.
I'm not going to bore you with the plot lines since it's been covered to death by other reviewers....

by cult2038 , May 31 '03
Pros: great animation, good execution of story
Cons: not a very compelling story to begin with
To begin with the negative...
It's a very short movie created by the same team that did the phenomenal Serial Experiments: Lain. But the story itself is very thin, and leaves a lot of holes and unanswered questions, unasked answers. The plot is...

by tsani , Jan 22 '03
Pros: A premiere piece of animation
Cons: DVD special features are mostly ads
I didn't know what to expect when I rented this film. I thought, "Hey, Vampires, no big eyes, cool!" But this would jerk me into a new consciousness as far as animated movies go.
This film is suspenseful from the outset, the plot was brilliant,...
