TL:DR If you like some funny action/serious drama along with cute characters and just a dash of lesbian tension to liven things up, you'll most likely enjoy this series. Going into watching this anime I had only read a simple synopsis. After watching the first episode I was concerned that my computer was skipping parts of the episode. The story jumped forward and backwards with little regard for the intervening time. For example between the ending of one episode to the next the main character learned how to use a sword... and acquired a sword in the first place. It's the little details like this thatare left out.

Those plot holes aside, I thoroughly enjoyed the series, I felt like each character had their own motivations and could conceivably act the way that they did. The sound and artwork was great, although, I noticed, some images were reused in multiple scenes.

All in all, I think that this series would have benefited from at least a couple more episodes to an entire season (of 13). I think this really would have let the creators explain away the holes. Also the ending. It was a powerful ending, but boy, did it leave me unfulfilled. If you felt like you needed more from the end of Blood+ then you might feel the same way here.
