Blood+

[NeoBear]

I completely agree with the observation you made about doing wrong then saying some crap about fighting till the end. I feel like I have herd that line over a dozen times in this anime alone. I didn’t hate this episode but it did fill kind of unnecessary, to me the reporter and the school girl seem like nothing more then a way to waste screen time lately and or give us a break from all the self doubting of a lot of the main cast. Things look good for next week’s episode though. Buy the way am I the only one who thought the music they played while David was talking to Saya was totally out of place?

Woot Blood+ 26!

Ty for the heads up, downloading now

[dragonrage]

oooooo Blood, pretty. Thanks for the good new man.

[Ryllharu]

I really liked the new opening animation. I don't care for the song either way, its better than the last one, but its hard to beat Aozora no Namida. I really like the part at the end where Saya and Diva are facing off.

As for 26 itself, great fights with the Schiff and their uncommon weapons. Kai is back to being a whiner, but this time it is understandable. As we all expected, Amschel is probably up to something that is not directly in Diva's best interests, but his own.

good episode, wonder what Riku can do? and the new OP was awsome. very nice.

[Yukimura]

Lol I finaly got to watch it just now. Poor Kai, I can't believe he let Riku drink his blood but I guess that's love. He'd better join up now and become a Chiro though, or else he'll lose his whole family to it. Though that would solidify him a place in Red Shield.

As to the Schiff, they all seem to be faster than Saya, (her body, not her reaction time) so if they all gang her how are they losing. Instead of plot devicing it would be nice if they just sped up Saya to around the level of every other bloodsucker in this show, it just seems unbalanced and dumb that she can't do any cool tricks, and that Haji has more preternatural ability than her. If Riku starts running around with blue trails i'm going to be both overjoyed (he's finally useful) and severly pissed (Saya is weaker than the little baby Chev she JUST turned).

[Kraco]

Rather good episodes. Although I have to wonder why the ship had such lousy defences considering who they are normally fighting against. But perhaps Diva's gang never considered Red Shield any real threat, and thus never even planned to attack the ship. They will have hard time finding new dumb guards, when they need to tell them their predecessors were all slaughtered like helpless pigs.

Otherwise they were enjoyable episodes. It's hard to figure out just how Kai will react and how he will change. Sometimes he looked and behaved just like an angsty anime character by not accepting the facts, yet sometimes he looked he does, like at the very end, in a certain sense. But at the very least he found out what he can do: Be a blood bank for his brother. Better than nothing, considering how lousy an organization the Red Shield is.

Nothing beats the first OP song, but this one was a definite step-up over the last one. I like the style they used in the OP as well and it seriously points towards Saya going psycho sometime down the line.

Strange, Chevalier need neither sleep nor food, but Saya is ALWAYS scarfing down tons of food (meat especially...) and falls into long sleeps for several years in a row. You'd think that since it was her blood in Riku and Hagi it would be the same for them, but it's the opposite...

Someone feed Kai some stfu. He was the one insisting Saya give him her blood, he'd read the diary, he knew what was going to happen. He'd rather his brother be dead? Just deal with it.

Speaking of food, thought they did a good job with Riku's 'thirst', one of the better parts of the episode. Action was pretty good too.

Next ep looks like it'll have a bit about the Schiff's past.

That reminds me a lot of 3x3 Eyes, where the Sanjian race is all powerful like gods, but they are not immortal, but they have the ability to grant immortality to someone to protect them. This way, they are protected while they sleep when they are most vulnerable.

This is why I was convinced that Amschel and Solomon were full of it when they were telling Saya that she's no different than they are. From Diva's little display when she had just gorged herself on Riku, they are much more powerful. Chevaliers are strong and fast in their mutated forms, but Diva tossed Saya around harder than any of them ever could without really even touching her. The two of them are very different from Chevaliers.

I do agree with Bud's assessment that they are able to grant a different set of powers to their servants. Chevaliers become unsleeping, ever vigilant defenders.

about the guards wasnt it mentioned that Red Shield only has about 100 members? i would think that whole slaughter of the guys on the ship would have set them back a lot. and yeah they suck, it makes me wonder how they get anything done while saya's asleep.

[woofcat]

I can see Kai asking for Saya's blood so that he can become a Chev. That would be awesome as i can not see Riku being at all a good Chev since he is too small.

[Kraco]

That would be totally awesome, and if I had written the story, I might have even made it like that. However, as it is, I'm not totally sure Kai is thinking like that, and is the suitable kind of person. Such a decision requires a person who can single-mindedly concentrate on something and even give his life (or humanity) for that. Kai hasn't really shown that much resolve. He only worries about his brother nowadays, and isn't much good for anything else. He couldn't even pull the trigger to try to shoot one of the attackers.

Boom 27 buddies!

Great ep btw

God it seems like it took forever for Saya to stop being pitiful she rocked this episode. When Kai was like “oh lets just go ask Saya for some blood happy happy joy joy” I was like whatever man. Of course the moment was spoiled buy all kinds of drama, why did'nt he just yell “hey every body wait lets all be friends it’s cool” that’s what I would have done.

aw yeah my first extra green box free drinks on me for everybody you just have to come get um =D

[woofcat]

Boshakalaka
Rep to you for that!

Edit: After watching this episode things are getting interesting. I hope they save Irene! I think i'll change my 3rd protecter of Saya to Irene. I don't think she will become a Chev but a Shchiff that just protects Saya.

[darkshadow]

double rep, i was about to go to bed, this woke me up again

[Kraco]

Ho... This was a really good episode, actually. It looks like Kai is trying to find a role for himself. That would be excellent as nothing is more aggravating than a character stuck in the past. And Kai's combat skills also surprised me. He beat up those two big ruffians as if they were nothing.

I have been waiting for this kind of development for some time. Of course considering the series it's still questionable whether the Shciff can become allies, or if they are just going to meet a sad fate, one way or another. However, if Kai can make them allies, it would be a big plus. They don't seem to really be a match for the chevalier, but at least they are better than those lousy suitmen with guns that Red Shield usually is sporting.

Who really has bodygaurds by the tens in suits? I mean i could understand it if they were those comando people we saw when they were in Vietnam.

[Ryllharu]

Kai's combat abilities didn't come completely out of nowhere though, I do remember them making allusions to him being a prominent member of the local gang, during the exploits of which he presumably became close enough to the Ojou for her to become attracted to him. We finally got to see where that minor character build up resulted. Admittedly, he's been pretty incompetent until now, but remember he was fighting things that were not ordinary humans, like here once more.

I'm hoping Saya and the bunch can help out Irene, she's really been one of the more interesting characters so far. I couldn't care less about the rest of the Schiff.
