This looks like it's going to be a completely different universe to the OVA. Doesn't even say Saya's a vampire. This reminds me of what happened to the Tenchi franchise. The design looks a bit Ghibli-ish. Not that that is a bad thing just not the same as the OVA, but if it's a completely different story it won't matter.

The movie was only 45 minutes long, but it was an excellent 45 minutes.

This new series looks kind of goofy, though. I am totally put off by the character designs. And what happened to Saya being a vampire? Guess this really is a seperate continuity.

To be honest with you I though the Chara's for GITS: SaC was not good but when I saw the series and I love it.

So I will keep my opinion of Blood's Character designs to myself until I see the animation.

The art seemed a bit wonky...I can't infer much else.

The monster doesn't look that bad. The sword looks pretty terrible though.

From this character description:

Quote:
A high-school girl and a member of a track and field club, she lives peacefully with her family in Okinawa. However, she cannot recall anything of her past except for the previous year. Yet, she is unaware of the upcoming threat of fate waiting at the doorstep.


It seems she probably doesn't know she's a vampire.

I'm hoping that the series begins pre-movie with Saya discovering her past as the series porgresses. I won't be able to see it until it get's released in the states, though. Crying or Very sad

I wonder why quite a few anime have characters from Okinawa. I spent six years there and fell in love with the place! Maybe because it's remote, but recognizable?
