Essence of Anime: Blood the Last Vampire

Product Description
On an American military base in Japan a new kind of vampire emerges: Teropterids. They are monstrous shape-shifting creatures that can only be killed with special swords. A mysterious girl named Saya is the last “original” the only person capable of dealing with the menace of these monsters. Posing as a student at the base’s school Saya races to hunt down the beasts before they turn an ordinary Halloween bash into a bloody massacre. Production IG known for their pioneering digital effects describes BLOOD: THE LAST VAMPIRE as a full digital animation movie which means that even though many sequences were animated using pencil and paper the artwork was digitally scanned. Inking and coloring were completed by computer as were several other special effects. Hiroyuki Kitakubo was chosen to direct the project because of his digital experience (he oversaw the movie sequences in the GHOST IN THE SHELL game for the Sony PlayStation.) The film is also notable for the participation of screenwriter Mamoru Oshii who helmed GHOST IN THE SHELL and has written a novel that takes place in BLOOD’s universe. Despite its resemblance to BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER BLOOD succeeds in creating its own gloomy chiaroscuro world.System Requirements:Running Time: 83 mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: ANIMATION/ADULT SWIM Rating: NR UPC: 013138502896 Manufacturer No: M5028

Blood   The Last Vampire

Product Description
Studio: Starz/sphe Release Date: 08/28/2001Amazon.com
Saya, the last true vampire, battles the bloodthirsty demons attacking an American base in Japan during the Vietnam War. Much of the story takes place during the late afternoon and evening, and the artists use shadows, reflections, and light with exceptional skill: the look of the film is more interesting than the underdeveloped story. Saya wields a deadly sword and pursues her foes with chilling ferocity, but she’s silent and sullen and fails to develop as a character: the viewer has no idea how she views her deadly occupation. Albeit a visually striking film, this dark, violent work fails to live up to its billing as “Japan’s first fully digital animated feature film”: the three-dimensional objects and effects are digital, but the two-dimensional characters are hand-drawn. Nor is the film really “from the creators of Ghost in the Shell.” Blood came out of a group that Ghost director Mamoru Oshii organized to encourage young talent, but he didn’t direct it. And at 48 minutes, it’s very short for a feature, although this edition includes a rambling 21-minute making-of film and a 3-minute trailer. It seems unlikely that Blood “will transform Japanese animation,” but other artists may use its visual style to tell more compelling stories with better-developed characters. Unrated; suitable for ages 17 and up for profanity, brief nudity, and considerable violence. –Charles Solomon
