User Reviews

Solid ending to the below average Blood-C series

The movie corrected nearly all the flaws in the series, from the erratic and poor animation to the weak plot and lack of real character development, etc.

Overall flow of the movie was solid, better character building and growth that lead to actually empathizing or at least understanding the group.

Ending was "reasonable" but still a bit disappointing. Don't get me wrong it tied up many loose ends, but there was a chance for more growth in Saya's character and a resolution that was a little less predictable, if she had chosen the other path.
