OMG!
Episode 33 is out by Bakakozou
Blood+ 33
Holy shit. Finally.
No, Way!!!
Well after a nice little while (36 days since shinsen released ep 32). We get to see grown up Bishi Kyle, drunken bum David and ever festive Lewis again. Lots of interesting things seem to have happened in the interveneing time. Amshel and James have created the Chevalier Green Beret and Haji has upgraded to a much bigger cello case (I assume he threw that thing). Hopefully after a year Saya will finally be stronger and faster, at least at the level of Haji and the other Chevalier. I can't wait to see the conclusion...
And apparently some one took it upon themselves to post details on Wikipedia beyond what has been subbed...whoppie, at least one charachters fate is ruined for me...
Didn't you learn your lesson about Wikipedia from Fate/ Stay Night?:p
I just started this series, on ep 5. I have up to 26 downloaded but....I just can't watch past ep 5, it just doesn't entertain me. DOes this show get any better? =S
How the hell does it not entertain you? Are you braindead?
You just lost some respect, man. And I can't say it would get better since it has all the time been good, as far as I'm concerned, and there's no reason for it "to get better".Quote:

According to this episode Kai got those exploding bullets after his own initiative, which means that Joel has just been whistling and looking up at the stars all this time, doing nothing but feeling sorry for himself. Well, at least he's not drinking.
Bizarrely enough their enemies, on the other hand, have been doing huge progress with these GM soldiers and apparently they have nice plans running in the background as well. I seriously think Kai joined the wrong side in this war. Well, if not for Saya. She's unarguably a better chick to woo than Diva...
Why would Diva's side support the GM soldiers? Wasn't it their idea to spread Chiropterans around the globe? Or is it just a facade? It also seems like Saya has gone out of control a little bit, not as much as in Vietnam, but does look a little crazy.
Maybe it's because i haven't seen an episode in 36 days but damn that was one fine episode. Now i want 34 more than ever and i hope either Baka or Shinsen sub it quick.
Well, maybe they first created the threat in absolute secrecy, and now publicly (or semi-publicly) offer the cure. That would gain them immense popularity and influence to further whatever plans they have. Well, as long as nobody can prove they are behind the original problem. But with Red Shield gone, there might be lack of anybody with any real authority to reveal the facts convincingly enough.Quote:

At first I thought 3-4 years had passed, I assume they changed Kai a fair bit (physically) to to put emphasis on how much he's grown (mentally).
Must admit, I'm quite suprised (and relieved) that it didn't do a mournful followup to the previous episode, their decision was excellent way to further develop the series.
I was quite suprised at David's reaction - and was waiting the whole episode for Kai to get one good punch into him (although, in hindsight, role reversal of David/Kai was fairly obvious from early on).
I was kind of hoping they would leave Saya out for an episode or maybe two, build up the suspense a little, however her introduction, like everything in this episode (and series in general) was beautifully done.
I don't think Saya has gone out of control/crazy, I'd say she is in control, for the first time we have seen. She has 'awoken' her inner powers seemingly, and I would guess has 70%ish control over them (probably compared to ~10% before).
Great episode indeed. Man Am I glad this series is 50ish eps... its just great!
@Lucifus.. I kind of understand. I personally liked the series... but i wasn't as eager as I am now. I think that what happens is that you get more and more reasons for watching. This series is beautifully crafted and if you keep up, you'll be rewarded
awww, i was hoping kai was gonna become some angry super chiropteran killer (not that it'd be possible)
what was with that thing he was doing with the coin when he was practicing with the gun? not sure what the purpose of that was really..=s
lol i like saya's new look, her hair is slightly longer and she looks kinda feral...reOw xD
It's something you do to train how to properly pull the trigger. One error factor contributing to missed shots is that your aim will move when you pull the tricker, for various reasons.Quote:

This all pretty much fucks up your aim, plus he balanced out the recoil.
Yeah, and even close their eyes, in nervous anticipation of the recoil and the sound of the shot.Quote:

There is a hell of a lot more recoil when you're actually shooting the gun, though. I don't see how pulling the trigger with nothing in it is going to improve his accuracy.
Have you had established, formal training for firing a gun?Quote:

So, the ideology behind the training with the coin is to remove any problems before that moment. The psychological factor of the insecurity about the behavior of the gun, like darkshadow said, or nervousness of the moment of discharge with live ammo can't really be removed otherwise than by shooting enough with real munitions, but technical aspects can be helped with this coin thing, without any live rounds.
Shooting with a firearm seems like a very simple thing, but there are real and concrete things and tricks that help tremendously.
I've never fired a gun. Guess I don't know what I'm talking about.Quote:

The role reversal with David and Kai is actually a pretty nice touch. I'm glad Kai's finally seemed to have grown up some. David's alcoholism seems like pretty standard fare in anime and I have no doubt that after Saya's reappearance and maybe some angst w/ crippled Joel he'll make the classic anime recovery and get back out there kicking ass again.
The Corpse Corps remind me of Shinra SOLDIERs. Anybody else get that feeling?
Trying to figure out what James and Amschel are doing by supplying nations with these troops courtesy of Argeno's help. To me it looks like they're about to set up a new order and are getting their pieces into place. First they perfect the threat, distribute the cure (I assume those Corpse Corps are loyal to Diva), let everyone become dependent on them and then pull the rug out from under them.
Why? Because you need guards to run a jail, and even Diva and her Chevaliers seem to need food, in the form of human blood. Diva was imprisoned by humans for years, I think she's planning on turning the tables on them and securing herself an all you can eat buffet at the same time. Basically the Corpse Corps are the first real step in controlling the world of humans, not just threatening it.
Oh, and the old guy who raised David reminded me of an episode of Monster. Guy raised some kids for violent purposes and now is atoning for it by providing the kind of home that is right for children.
And I agree with seanos, it would have been better if they'd milked Saya's abscene a little longer. Guess they have other stuff they want to get to...
The old guy who raised David?
I thought the old guy in question was his CO?
Although, memory is bit shakey on the flashbacks - I thought David's father also in army, and presumably raised him? Died at some point (probably in army I'm guessing, at which point I assumed David in army/or some such). Again, memory really is dodgy as hell, so apologies if this was covered in multiple flashbacks.
I used to watch Blood+ religiously every week when it came out but I stopped at episode 14. I don’t know what happened. Maybe because the animes I was watching at that time were better or I didn’t have any time for Blood+ and it wasn’t going in the right direction for me. But last week I decided to give it a one more go and I am very happy with my decision. It gets better and passes all tests of awesomeness. So do carry on with the rest of the episodes.Quote:

Sif are still lurking around. So one year hasn’t changed their situation.
David needs to get his act together and Kai needs a bigger gun if he wants to fight head on with those monsters.
Hopefully the next episode will be out soon.
lmao! bigger gun :p
though i'd love to see that...
Shinsen released Episode 33 and Episode 34
Yay!
I wanted to see Saya kick some ass. and god damn shinsen took you 40ish days to release 2 episodes.
Woot for Saya and Haji. I'm not really liking Saya's new attitude, especially since she doesn't appear to be any tougher on the outside. Hopefully we'll see some something new and different about her charachter soon.
Did anyone else notice above average graininess in the beginning of 34?
Yes i noticed the grain
Saya's new attitude is awesome. I like the lets get down to busniess kick some ass take some names and not get all yelling / fussy about it. Also i think it would have been great if Saya beat the hell out of Monique.
Over all Saya = one bad ass mother fucker, Also Kai is being silly thinking that nothing has changed or should have changed. I mean she spent a year killing i assume everyday.
Also Yukimura not stronger? she wasted 3 of them herself. If we look back it was always Hagi and Saya. Hagi stayed out of it.
Wow, Saya is an annoying bitch now.
You're right woofcat, I guess I just wanted to see her exhibit powers like what Haji and the other Chevs, and the Sif have. But grunt chiro's probably wouldn't bring it out of her anyway. When she fights those Corpse Core things we should definately see if she can/will move like them or not.
Grunt chirops are nothing for her, never were, she even wasted one easily in the 2nd ep.
Ep 33:
Saya came in looking like a hooker. My only comment for this episode...
saya's being an annoying bitch... Thought the time jump would give her some maturity, but instead she's selfishly trying to make everything her responsibility. Guess Kai's bad habit rubbed off on her...
I really wasn't too wowed at all with 34. Collins ranting and raving had some nice lines but other than that a relatively uninteresting episode.
The term is called Emo, which is what Saya has officially become. :pQuote:

No, Saya’s behavior isn’t annoying. She knows what has to be done and knows how to do it. Her problem is that she wants to save everybody around her and that’s very hard to do. She looks very determined and way fierce than ever.
What would make you think Riku is alive?
Awesome.
How do the Shiff die? I mean sure they have the thorn but i did not think they could die from combat. Also sweet entrance of Saya and Hagi into the shiff / Corpse corps battle.
The one guy had his head smashed, so maybe you have to destroy their head or something.Quote:

downloading right now, can't wait to see!!
Damn, I'm still waiting on Bakakozou...
Shinsen has a tendency to release a bunch of episodes at once, then disappear from the fansub world for a month, then release another bunch of episodes. It's been over a month since the previous episode of Noein!
So, if Saya had trouble with James, who was a bad ass... And James is scared shitless of Nathan... I want to see what Nathan can do...

=.= same for black lagoon......lolz
well i am sticking with shinsen subs, their files r smaller, save me some money for blank discs!
Wow so Shinsen has released up to Ep37?
Damn... like BoC, I'm still waiting on Bakakozou.
=_=
Placing high hopes on Kai in this new arc. Hopefully he has finally thrown behind all that silly angsty emo stuff and turned into a badass character. Seriously, those emo scenes were somewhat overdone, imho.
2 episodes and 2 dead Chevaliers. Blood+ is picking up with the action.
Poor Carl. He was always my favorite too.
Oh well, at least he got a royal party. LET'S DANCE!
Damn, these last few episodes have been uber-cliche. Every character just keeps saying the same thing over and over. Fucking annoying.
Solomon's form is pretty badass. As far as I can tell it goes:
Amschel > Solomon > Gay dude > James > Karl
Next time on Blood+: Brother and Sister bonding time
Blood+ 39 by Your-Mom
No, its not a joke. They are really called YOUR-MOM
Wow, the new opening really sucks ass.
Nuh-uh. It's probably the best out of the four.
The last one was way better than any of the others.
Nuh-uh. Uverworld is good, but they have a tendency to have most of their songs sound the same. Therefore this one is better.
sorry knives but... i agree with what "your-mom" said in the OP... this song is not very good.
episode was okay.
It was a nice episode but I did not like the new opening or the ending.
I guess the new battlefield is New York.
Bakakozou's Episode 34
Heh. This episode was hilarious with this big fellow rummaging through the house like a wild boar set loose:

Blood+ 40 by Your - Mom
Woot! I was worried nothing would come out at all today...
........and how wrong you were?
Blood+ - 41 Shinsen-Subs
Blood+ - 42 Shinsen-Subs
can anyone download 39 and 40??
i have no problem getting the torrents for 41 and 42, but i can't get the torrents for 39 and 40.
well i checked shinsen's website too, and pages are not showing up, so maybe something wrong with the site and the torrents are down??
just checked shinsen's fourm, their secondary tracker got some problem right now. if anyone else are having the same problem (can't download 39,40's torrents), you can download them here:
http://bt.shinsen-subs.org/
If you aren't able to use the torrents then go to their channel in Irc and dl it from there.
oooookay... what an eventful series of episodes. I have NO idea how this series will end now (I mean, Diva will probably die, but that doesn't seem to be the problem anymore).
some spoilers
If Saya has children too... will their blood affect Diva's children? oh, and I've been thinking. what happens if a woman drinks a queen's blood? If Amschel is a true scientist... well he probably tried already.
i don't have mirc...so....i always download the torrents and put them in Utorrent, that how i download animes, don't know any other way
So she did rape little Riku...that's just nasty. And now babies...WTF. And poor Saya, completely embarassed yet again. I hope last few eps are as interesting as this one, but I don't know how they plan to make me believe Saya defeats Diva. She's totally outclassed.
And she's on her little "30 yr. sleep drug trip" Me thinks someone else will have to do it.
Shinsen watch out!

For you purists out there: Blood+ 43 by Shinsen
@ Jad Did Your-Mom ever get a decent editor? I would have applied for them myself if I had the time. Their releases to date have generally been bad enough to significantly detract from my experiance when watching whatever they produce.

Haji's semi-true from was pretty sweet.
I would like to ask... what's wrong with VLC?
Err, what?Quote:

I'd be more inclined to not go near Your-Mom subs ... at least now I have a damn good reason not to...
I use MPC but I have nothing against VLC. For me VLC is little bit harder to control in fullscreen and i used to MPC. Download Your-mom subs only if you can't wait but never store them on harddrive for then a day.
powerhoused 4 episodes today. (just finishing 45) Man it was weird to see the Sif get three episodes almost all to themsleves this close to the end. The whole thing with Solomon just sorta dropped off the map...
Ya know, I was thinking that he is quite poorly named. Solomon is supposed to be wise and able to see beyond simple desires and make decisions founded on reason and justice. Yet this guy carries on like such a romantic! He is so narrow minded it hurts.
James fucking with the Sif just to alleviate his own pain is one coldblooded deal. What an asshole, seriously...
I never saw the whole Karman and Moses thing. They clashed so much and were almost always at odds, and then you get more yaoi-fodder than you can shake a stick at! I thought Moses' character was acting really weird throughout these past three episodes. Thanking Kai I can see, but getting manipulated by James and totally flustered over Karman just seemed strange...
Still, I've grown to like Sif, so them getting spotlight right before the final battle (it's got to be so soon!) was fine with me. Their deaths have been the most emotional out of all the characters, moreso than Riku's or George's. It's especially tough to see Moses go,,,
edit to below-
touche darknodin, touche.
actually... he is quite rightly named, if you remember how the story ended.Quote:

What next?
Saya is due to go in hibernation soon and she is weak as it is and Diva is about to give birth. This just keeps getting interesting. I hope the climax is a good one.

Blood+ 47 by Shinsen-Subs
We are so close to the end.
Close to the end indeed. I wonder how sad ending this series will have. Of course they have paved the way for Saya and Haji to remove themselves after they have dealt with Diva, but it's really nice how you still can't predict if that's going to happen or not. If it happens, if it looks like Haji keeps the promise, this could end like Elfen Lied.
Saya should really drink some energy drinks before joining fights.
Episode 48 - Shinsen
I'm not worried about Saya, more about how Kai, David, Lewis, and the Schiff are going to battle a bunch of the Chiropterans. This time they're completely surrounded with no Saya to help.
Haji and Amshel will duke it out next time, and judging from the previews, Amshel is a winged one also.
What was that crazy energy beam Amshel shot? Talk about broken.
Nathan said something about Saya's and Diva's mother's Chevaliers. I wonder if they will show up.
Nobody has speculated on Nathan yet. His character has changed greatly since his introduction in the series. At first he was just a wacky chevalier dude whose role is comical relief, but after 48 episodes, I get the feeling that he's the strongest of the 4 main chevaliers and has his own agenda. For the past few episodes he has always been at odds with Amshel and unlike Amshel, he actually cares about Diva.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if he jumps ship and kills Amshel in the last episode.
He also prevented James from killing Saya that one time. Maybe he is Saya's mother's chevalier (since he also hinted at it). He was told to keep both of her daughters alive and look over them?Quote:
Originally Posted by Board of Command

Doesn't have to be their mother but most likely. I quess chevaliers grow in power as they get older since when Nathan is angry Armshel looks patheticly weak.
When did he say that? I must have missed it. I was thinking, or remembering, Amshel being the oldest of Diva's chavaliers, so he should be pretty much aware of all that concerns Diva, at least greater matters. Thus he should know if Nathan is or isn't Diva's chevalier.Quote:
Originally Posted by Death13a

If he is an old chevalier, I think that might be even more interesting than simply being their mother's own chevalier. It would also further explain why he saved Saya once and why he seems to like Diva and Diva's offspring, as it would indicate he's not as single-minded about liking only one queen and destroying the other.
He said "what if the mummy, the mother of Diva and Saya, had Chevaliers of her own?" to Amshel in a threatening manner after Amshel questioned his experience.Quote:

At any rate, Amshel is easily my current favorite due to his classy looks and collected manner. I kind of hate Nathan since he looks like a complete fashion victim. His flamboyant personality is pretty nice, however.
Shinsen wishes not to leave us in suspence for too long:
Episode 49 - Shinsen
Edit: Quite an episode. And I guess Nathan was just another one of Diva's enigmatic chevaliers. It's a little sad the next episode will be the final one. But on the other hand it's good there's still a whole episode for the aftermath.
I didn't see that coming, I expected Saya to die also. I would have loved to see Nathan fight, but he was just not that type of guy. They kind of hinted at the "loosing blood potency" deal because each of Diva's Chevalier's was weaker than the older one. I like how Haji outsmarted Amschel and pounded him into the giant spike. Next episode should be interesting.
Hmmm, interesting indeed. Diva no longer being "pure" stopped her blood from killing Diva. That was sad b/c I wanted to see them both die, and have that whole 'sisterly love' thing.
We might as well call this group Team Invincible b/c no one freaking died. I would've liked it if one of them died, but that was wishful thinking.
I was hoping Nathan was really Saya's/Diva's mother's chevalier but that didn't turn out to be the case either, He decided to go all emo and give up on living b/c the person he wanted to protect died. Oh well, I'm curious to see how this will turn out and how it'll play into the movie this show is based off of(although I think it's probably going to get retconned out of existence)
He was emo all the time. Amshel was the Mr. Logic supervising all kinds of external activities like populating the world with monsters, and Nathan apparently considered Diva's clothing style and opera singing his greatest projects.Quote:

Well, it's hard to say if such a thing would be more bitter or not, but it would make a more unique an ending. Still, the two babies complicate the situation, as Saya was, for more than a hundred years, just telling herself it's over when Diva is dead. But now suddenly there are two new queens.
That's not true. He simply dissappeared without explaining what he was.Quote:
Originally Posted by Knives122

Wow, what a disappointing way to end things. Amshel connected several direct hits yet Haji was barely injured except for this torn wing? I'm so sick of the "invincible protagonist syndrome" so many animes seems to be suffering from. Honestly, considering Amshel's blasts were able to disintegrate concrete with ease I expected Haji to be a bit more torn up.
And Nathan... After all this build up he opts to just let Saya smoke his flamboyant ass? I know he was eccentric and all that but come on. Next episode seems to be one filled with overly melodramatic scenes in which they once again try to cheer up a depressed Saya before she goes to sleep. All in all I have to say that I'm sorely disappointed and that I think this show could have been so much more.
Sigh.
Yeah, we do seem to have a lot of loose ends present. What happened with Solomon, who was Nathan really and why did they put such a focus on Amshel leaving his ring behind before he went to his death?Quote:
