recently discovered two very similar works. Judging from the names of the animations, it is easy to confuse them. One of

is "BLOOD-C" and the other is "BLOOD+".

First of all, let’s talk about blood-c. This work is an original animation jointly produced by Production I.G and CLAMP. The director is Tsutomu Mizushima . The screenwriter is Junichi Fujisaki. The heroine’s name is Changyi Saya, holding a samurai sword. . In addition, the level of gore in this work is also impressive.

You can try to remember these elements first, because we will talk about another work "BLOOD+" later.

In fact, I had heard about these two works many years ago, but at the time I thought they were just similar names, and I also wondered whether they might be the same work. At that time, I had only watched the blood-c mentioned above, and blood+ was the anime I started watching recently.

So I have been kept in the dark for so many years, and I never thought that I should look up the information on these two works.

So let’s talk about “BLOOD+”.

This work is actually produced by the animation company Production I.G. It is an original animation, and the heroine is Otonashi Sayo. Like "BLOOD-C", there are derivative novels or comics. And the director is Junichi Fujisaki. We just said that the screenwriter of C is him.

If there are any similarities between these two movies, it would be that both were produced by the company Production I.G, and both Junichi Fujisaki participated in the production. The heroines' names are all Xiaoye , and they all carry samurai swords. In addition, the selling points of both works are blood and monsters.

However, if you look at the information carefully, these two films belong to the "BLOOD" series, and blood+ was aired before c. But in fact the two are completely different works.

inquired on the Japanese website and learned that the BLOOD series began 26 years ago. At that time, the famous director Mamoru Oshii (look at the blood+ production team, he is also a blood+ friendly cooperation) at the request of Production I.G President Ishikawa, and the young I.G. staff Together we organized Oshii Juku, a seminar for training planners.

That was a meeting where they were asked to submit project proposals on a specific topic every week.

Junichi Fujisaki's biographical story "Gekko Onitan" and Kenji Kamiyama's vampire story "The Last Vampire" were combined into one project, becoming BLOOD.

Then, in 2000, the theatrical movie "BLOOD THE LAST VAMPIRE" was released. There are a total of six works produced by

at the same time, including a game version, three novel versions and a comic version. Each work has a different story and era background because the creator made it according to his own preferences.

The basic setting is: the protagonist is a female high school student named Xiaoye + uses a Japanese sword + vampire to fight the enemy.

In C Saya's flashback scene, a scene from the first "BLOOD" was used. Some Japanese netizens speculated that C's Saya may be the same person as the first BLOOD THE LAST VAMPIRE Saya, who is the first "BLOOD" ’s sequel.

At the same time, July 7th this year is the 11th anniversary of the broadcast of blood-c.
