Blood-C: The Last Dark – trailer

When it comes to huge franchises like Blood – which has  two animated TV series, Manga, video games, and one truly terrible live-action feature adaptation under its belt – it can be intimidating to figure out where to even begin. Which is why I’m a big believer in sampling via the animated features – and why I’m so delighted that Blood, like Ghost in the Shell before it, is finally getting the full-on, big screen, gorgeously animated feature treatment. It’s probably still best to watch the original 84 minute Blood…featurette, for lack of a better word…first, which is where this huge franchise began, but this movie looks like it’s going to be gorgeous. I can’t wait.

Blood-C: The Last Dark hits theaters June 12, 2012.
