During a fictional war called the Hong Kong Crusade, an Old Blood vampire, Jiro Mochizuki, a.k.a. the Silver Blade (銀刀, Gintō?), fought and defeated the Kowloon king and also most of the Kowloon Children. Ten years later, Jiro heads to Japan with his little brother, Kotaro, in hopes of reaching The Special Zone, a thriving secret city where vampires live. They soon realize that a plan to infiltrate The Special Zone is being hatched by the Kowloon Children survivors. As they travel to The Special Zone, Jiro encounters enemies from the past and new threats that may endanger the safety of the Special Zone. The abduction of Kotaro, by one of the Kowloon Children, thrusts him even further into the battle.
My Thoughts:
Since I watched Trinity Blood, I have been craving for Vampire Animes which surprisingly was difficult to find since most cater to younger audiences.
Black Blood Brothers kept on coming up from my searches and it seemed like it had decent reviews so I decided to watch it.
This series definitely draws you in. There were not a lot of fight scenes which can be a problem for some people but I did not have that much of a problem with it. My main problem with this series is that it was just too short. There were only 12 episodes and I think it deserved at least 24 episodes. It seemed as though the makers crammed too much in one episode that you end up feeling that there was too much lacking. The animation was pretty good, it looked fluid to me. The voice acting was good and sound was good.
Overall, I give this series a 3.5 of 5. I would like to make it as a must watch but I am afraid you guys will just feel like there was something missing because the series was just too short.
