Blood +: Volume 4



The secret of Saya is revealed!
The secret of Saya is finally revealed in the fourth volume of the dark, vampirish anime known as "BLOOD+".

The popular 50-episode anime series that was shown in Japan back in 2005-2006 and also in the US via "Adult Swim" on the Cartoon Network finally starts to catch some steam with more developments on the past of Saya. What we have learned in the previous three volumes is that Saya is a person that has a special power and with the Red Shield, they set out to the road in an effort to destroy vampires aka Chiropterans and Diva, their queen. Representing Red Shield is David who watches over Saya and her two adoptive brothers Kai and Riku. Saya is aided by Hagi, who happens to have a special ability in order to protect Saya and joining the team is their bodyguard Lewis and Red Shield doctor Julia Silverstein. You suspect something about Saya because she always receives these blood transfusions and her blood somehow powers up her sword and her eyes turn glowing red before...

Time to go to Russia...
The battle continues as Red Shield and Saya follows Diva and her Chevaliers to Russia. Train travel, good food, white snow, cold nights, and bloody swords. Outside of the cool action, the great Voice Actors and Actresses, the artwork, there is a developing plot that hooks you in. Because while Saya Otonashi gets closer to her target we learn more and more about her background. I don't wish to spoil it for you, but we learn a few shockers. And we also realize that Diva's protectors have plans for Saya. Too bad there are no extras but five episodes are good enough.

I love Blood+
I love the series and its music. Thank you for sharing such a good show with the world. Blood+ is awesome!
