Starting tonight (in the States at least) on the Cartoon Network during Adult Swim is a Anime show called "Blood +." Shows at like 12:30am for me (very early Sunday morning). It looks like kind of a typical anime: swords, young girls, magic, fantasy elements. I'm going to check it out. Here's the opening theme:

Blood + is a continuation from "Blood: The Last Vampire" ("AnimeNfo Link (http://www.animenfo.com/animetitle,78,zcxsca,blood__the_last.html)" "Wikkipedia Link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood:_The_Last_Vampire)") a critically acclaimed anime movie that (if you like anime in any way) you must see.
I've not seen too much of the series itself but the movie is fantastic.
I like some anime and manga. I'll set up to record this. Thanks for the info Rico!
I just found the Blood movie on Netflix - adding it to my queue.
I record that block anyway for Bleach and a couple of others so I caught this one on sunday. I thought it looked pretty promising, Lots of blood and guts but that is what I expect from that time block. :skull LOL I liked it and will watch a few more to see where it is going.
Rico, Blood+ is not your average anime series. It is a modern day vampire story with tons of great developed characters and odd situations. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
I am almost done with the first season and I really like it.
I watched the "Blood: The Last Vampire" movie the other night. It was kind of short. Not a lot of details given in it. I have the first episode of the series on my TIVO. Going to try and watch it soon.
