Blade was the fourth Marvel attempt to get a piece of the anime fans into the MCU and once again it wasted its money on a lame adaptation. The OST is by far the best thing in it; those rock pieces are nice to listen to lots of times. The rest of it are terrible. Just 3 minutes into the show you are greeted with dumb cannon fodder vampires attacking innocent civilians and getting vaporized by the hero. They don’t even fight in an interesting way; they are just brainlessly attacking with claws and get owned in less than a second because Blade moves faster than light or something (lol at the after image he leaves as bait; what is this, early Dragonball episodes?).
What is even worse is their dying animation. They don’t burn and turn to ash with a few bones remaining to fizzle away in the win…

(I try to keep my reviews short and sweet and straight to the point without giving away spoilers with that said lets get this show on the road)
Marvel dipping their hand in the anime field. This anime is mediocre with no real jaw dropping moments. We all no the Blade story he hunts vampires end of story. I feel like they should have added a little more extremeness to make more then someone just slashing a sword a vampires for their own personal reason.
1. Blood Shed their is a lot of blood to go around for every.
2. Action a good amount of fighting (gotta work out some how right)
3. No Romance (who got time for love when their vamps taking over the world)
4. Predictable (um some what)
5. Supernatural yes vampires duh and different kind of species to who new.
Overall 15+ should watch t…

Story's set in Asia
My lack of knowledge in Marvel universe is little to nothing, aside from the mainstream live-action movies that's been made, I don't know anything else. And then I stumbled into western comics made into anime. It piqued my interest to the fullest. I didn't had the chance to watch Wesley Snipes when the live-action was made(I was too young for it; I'll watch it in the near future). So I decided to watch the animation to know a little about Blade's history. I'm not sure if it's as accurate as the comics that were published. But some parts were right, googled a thing or two about it.

Being that Blade is originally western, of course the animation will be western-esque. But it's really fun seeing Blade use Ruroni Kenshin's techniques(jk, obviously). In this a…

Welcome, my lovely fans, to the final review of horror anime month. You know, I love Marvel comics, okay, I loved Marvel comics until the mid-90s and now I only love the old stuff. But there's one aspect where the company still produces decent stuff sometimes and that's the movies. One of the early movies was Blade and, though it had some issues, it was awesome. Even though Blade was kind of a strange choice since he was a relatively obscure character best known for his guest appearance in the 90s Spider-man cartoon. Naturally, with the success of the films Marvel made the decision to work with Madhouse on various anime projects. There was Iron-man, Wolverine, X-men and Blade. Honestly, I've been hesitant to watch these since they seem like a cheap attempt to cash in on the movies and the…

Now let’s get into Marvel Animation. Like DC Comics is having trouble with their theatrical releases aside from the Nolan Batman movies, Marvel is doing worse in their animation department considering from I heard on the internet about the two beloved series Spectacular Spider-Man & the Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes got canceled mostly due to Disney being a part of Marvel and after seeing Ultimate Spider-Man, fans were pissed at the result of that show and while that happened, Marvel decided to cross into anime territory along with the help of studio MADHOUSE with Marvel Anime, a 4-part anime project that reintroduces them for Japanese audiences and the following feature players were Iron Man, Wolverine, X-Men & Blade. Now I’m only covering the Blade anime for today as the others will…

Maybe it's because Marvel has such a large number of characters and groups that they're constantly dealing with copyrighted names. But I thought Blade would be the last franchise to become an anime. Especially since Wesley Snipes ruined the franchise by fleeing the IRS.
But here it is; in all it's non-sparkling, blood-filled glory.
Madhouse must be credited for giving this vampire monster of a Marvel show life; with 75% action and 25% tragedy. And even then. This show feels heavily cliched and over-the-top near the end. More-so over-the-top than "Certain Mutant Logan" and "That Rich Boy Can't Be That Heroically Iron-Clad." "Scott & His Mutant Companions" was NIGHTMARE FUEL, but hey. :)
The cliches within "Vampire Shaft" are good cliches, atleast. The action is of high-octane, "salivatin…

Marvels try to get a chip in the anime genre is entertaining and amusing at best.
Preset old characters, giving nothing new to the serie, and only thing new in the serie is introduction of different world type vampires. Gargoyles, lamieres, gorgons... All the same, Vampires. As with this "upgrade" Eric is not fighting "humanid" creatures anylonger, ofc there are those pureblood classic vampires, but on the same time blade is fighting with demons and mutants.
Sure, as a blade believer, this series is definetly worth watching, but it brings nothing new to the genre, instead it is using every single mannover there is on the genre. But with anime clash, they added more of the bushido and samurai style to the blades fighting.
And if were mentioning mutants in this, were not again talking abou…
