Very violent, very gory. The story could have been more developed.

November 16, 2006Rather excellent work from Manga studios. Blood features some dazzling animation, particularly in the parallax scrolling, and has a suprisingly decent American voice cast. The only issue I have is that it is short, very short, most notably as the plot seems to get propelling duri...( read more)

July 28, 2006Stunning animation and dark, scary settings are this anime horror short's strong points. It's goregous film to watch, though hunting for a plot will generally turn up less than nothing and its "ending" is bound to disappoint. Hopefully a sequel is in the makes--I would like to ...( read more)

November 8, 2009Pretty cool idea for a Manga and its pretty entertaining too. However, running around 43 minutes without credits, I really felt that it was way too short. They should have expanded the story more because considering that the movie was so short, I would have liked to see more bac...( read more)

October 30, 2009Fast paced action with lots of blood and guts and little story. I believe this movie was based on a single incident in the manga, which is why it feels so...truncated, and lacks any real depth of character or plot. All the information you get is that A is hired to kill the rest ...( read more)
