Woah, more fight scene in this episode and it was violent too. Cain is one of the Hong Kong Hero and he’s an Old Blood which is the same as Silver Blade. Judging from the size of his body, he should be someone who use his fist rather than someone who [...]

I admit it. I'm terrified of blood suckers. As a kid, frightened by cheesy vampire movies on afternoon TV, I decided to sleep with a necklace of garlic for protection (didn't last long as mom found the skimpy garlic lei and took it away from me). Given such a history, how come I always get sucked (no pun intended) into watching vampire titles? Thus far, I've seen more than what should be my

Featuring a loli-silent-type vampire princess, a steaming hot Jirou and a bear called Bow Wow Tight. That last one is neither a joke nor a rapper. Bottom right: Jirowned. Black Blood Brothers is definitely more than ‘just some shounen show’, as many would probably brand it without giving it a watch. For a [...]

Old bloods, magicks, and politics. Romance, mystery, and adventure. The fall is inevitable, really. My heart has been stolen. Again. This time a soap-tinged vampire story takes my breath away. Black Blood Brothers is for keeps… Until the next series comes along. I am an anime ho. [...]

My belated intro to the season continues with what can best be described as a guilty pleasure: Black Blood Brothers is cliched, derivative, formulaic and all similarly-themed adjectives. It’s also one heck of a lot of fun. Y’see, vampire-themed stuff is something of an Acchilles’ Heel for me - I have a weakness for undead-themed [...]

Power. Immortality. Sensuality. Seduction. Vampire. Black Blood Brothers lures unsuspecting audiences into a web of folklore, modern myth, and primetime TV. It imparts the undead’s, arguably, most enviable facet. Raw sensuality. The forbidden act of tasting from another flesh conjures images of power and seduction. The sinful pleasure [...]

What’s cooler than a show featuring the undead and ass-kicking? Two shows featuring the undead and ass-kicking, of course. Since Impzie is covering all the pussy lovey-dovey shows (:P), I’m going to talk about vampires and undead zombies. They might want to call them Gargolyes, but we all know that Gargolyes [...]

I was quite determined to find fault with Black Blood Brothers - I took my fair share of melodramatic bishounen-horror in Night Head Genesis and eventually rejected it, so I feared more of the same from this show. Typically I was wrong. While it won't win many end-of-season plaudits for originality, Black Blood Brothers at least matches it's growling characters vocal angst with scene after scene of elegantly swift action set against an all too neon post-apocalyptic, city destroying back drop. This first episode is mostly shoujo eye candy, but..

A salaryman armed with his electric guitar blew this blogger away in Black Heaven. You might also remember my unabashed adoration for Black Cat. The underworld of Black Lagoon continues to titillate. Even the annoying Pinoko couldn’t take me away from Black Jack. And now, I can see myself waffling pleasantries [...]

And the fall season has started. So far, it’s promising to be a load of garbage with a few good shows. I SO hope that the coming month will prove me wrong, though the current batch hasn’t really managed to change my opinion. Black Blood Brothers It’s got hate, it’s got angst, it’s got despair, but [...]

The first anime of the Fall 2006 season is here! Black Blood Brothers is a vampire anime. Does that mean it sucks? Read on (and I guarantee no more puns) to find out! Black Blood Brothers is the story of Mochizuki Kojiro - a vampire, and his brother Kotaro - a lolishota vampire. Kojiro seems to [...]

My original post died and is now currently lost in the world of the past. I don’t have time to do a complete repost, so heres a few thoughts about it. It seems like Jirou is the kinda guy who is insanely powerful but is deeply hurt due to various reasons in the past. The flashback [...]
