Are you tired of vampires? Are you tired of short story arcs with expectable endings? Are you tired of comrade Yukina saying: "Nyet, senpai, this is our fight!"? Are you tired of teenage boy biting schoolgirls‘ necks? Are you tired of Strike the Blood?If you answered "no" or "nah" until now, then congrats, please proceed to enjoy more pantyshots (and more) of our cute sword shaman, war dancer and the rest of the fourth primogenitor’s harem.

Strike the Blood III is exactly the same as its prequels, expect nothing less, nothing more. My guess is, that if you‘re considering to watch STB III you‘re already familiar with the franchise and know the way things go.
Just like previous "seasons" it brings us supernatural story balancing among harem,ecchi,action and vampires. Some people like it that way, some people don’t.

In terms of plot, there are no changes, Kojou and his comrades must save the island (sometimes even the world – to make it more dramatic) from villains who just want to destroy everything and kill everybody, because they have nothing better to do. As always, the battle is decided within a few eps and then the new arc begins. Sometimes they also add a bit of a drama into the arc, like when a certain character is about to die or disappear or something (not gonna spoil who), but then something "unexpected" and *cough * *cough* "totally not plot armor related" happens and the person is saved.

What to say about the characters? We can expect old friends and bunch of new villains. We will also reveal several secrets of some already known characters that might be surprising.What comes as no surprise, though, is the fact, that Yukina won’t miss a single opportunity to utter her indispensable quote of appropriating her senpai’s fight.

In conclusion, if you are not a fan, this season won’t make you one, but if you like the series, STB III won’t disappoint you. It’s not meant to be rewached 7 times in a row, but it’s fine for a single run. Its ballance of action/comedy/ecchi in rather simple and straightforward show will make you forget about your daily struggle for those 24 mins each episode has.
