Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is a COMPLETE reboot of the 2000 film Blood: The Last Vampire, sharing only the premise of 'schoolgirl kills vampires' and absolutely nothing else.
The Vietnam flashback episodes were controversial for directly connecting American military experiments to the chiropteran origin—a bold anti-war statement rare in 2005 anime.
