On This Day in Anime

Twenty-five years ago, Production I.G.'s Blood: The Last Vampire arrived, presenting a stark, action-heavy take on vampire lore. The film followed Saya Otonashi, a mysterious high school student with a hidden, vampiric nature, as she hunts demons.

While perhaps not reaching the same heights as some of its contemporaries, the film's visceral horror and unique creature designs still hold a certain grim appeal for fans of the supernatural genre. It's a compact, violent dive into a world where ancient evils lurk beneath a veneer of normalcy.
