It seems that the populace of Yokota Air Base is unknowingly suffering from a series of vampire attacks. Unknowingly, because the victims then show up as suicide casualties. So in comes the mysterious Saya, who works in concert with a covert government agency in hunting down these vampires, which are actually blood-sucking demons called the Chiropterans. Posing as a high school girl, Saya begins to nose around the base's high school, even as everyone else prepares for the big Halloween bash. More the lethal slayer type than a detective, it still doesn't take too long before she and her samurai sword stumble into something...BLOOD: THE LAST VAMPIRE is a wicked cool anime, running at 48 minutes, which I like to pop in the player whenever I've got a dull hour to kill. This film, which came out in 2000, has a couple of things going for it. First off, the film looks amazing. The animation is absolutely state-of-the-art and about as seamless a marriage I have seen of 2D and 3D graphics. The film right away establishes an ominous mood, which it then refuses to relinquish, much credit to the brooding soundtrack. The action sequences are dynamite stuff, excitingly presented. From the moment the lights dimmed on the subway train and Saya exploded into action, I was friggin' wowwed. The shaky cam technique used at times during these action sequences is pretty effective. It doesn't hurt that the Chiropterans are imposing, scary looking things. To see a tiny high school looking girl tackle these beasties (and then relentlessly dispose of them) simply adds to the cool factor.Her handler claims that Saya is the "only remaining original," and I guess he means she's the last vampire. But then the story doesn't delve into that very intriguing tidbit. I guess there just wasn't time for the film to drop some background 411 on Saya. What we do learn is that she's sullen and stoic and very determined. She's aggresively anti-religious. She's disdainful of people. But she carries out her missions with a grim relentlessness and a no-nonsense air. And, when she springs into action, she makes you forget that her character is pretty one-dimensional.There's really not much of a set-up. The film plants the viewer smack dab in the thick of the plot, which I kind of like since it lends a more pronounced sense of immediacy. The movie being only 48 minutes long doesn't really bother me, although, yes, that doesn't really give the movie a chance to develop the story or its characters, who do come off as shallow. The main characters seem to be Saya, the agent David, and a plump, good-hearted school nurse in peril. It's kind of refreshing that our surly heroine refuses to be solicitous of the very frightened nurse; instead, Saya gets extremely annoyed with her. That's our Saya!The brevity of the running time makes it seem more of an expanded episode to a series than an actual film. Then there are the unaswered questions. Just what exactly is the deal with Saya? We are clueless regarding her motivations, how she hooked up with the agency, why she can't kill humans...When she offs the last demon at the airfield, what was up with what she did afterwards? An old photograph near the end does flesh out her background some...And I don't really understand the relevance of the pre-Vietnam War backdrop (is it some kind of metaphor?). Not having all these questions answered doesn't bug me too much, but I can dig that it frustrates folks.There's a decent amount of gore and blood splatter here, a tiny lacing of profanity, and even a brief nude shot of a suicide victim in a bathtub. So, no, this isn't for the really young 'uns. Concerning special features, the 21-minute-long "Making Of" segment is pretty dry, because it's so technically driven, focusing as it does on the CG effects. But, hey, if you're a CG freak, this might be right up your alley. There's also the theatrical trailer and a photo gallery.Meeting Saya in BLOOD: THE LAST VAMPIRE is like briefly spending time with a stranger. You learn some stuff about the person, but not too much. You're made privy to the surface gloss, the public face, but that's all. For a span of forty-eight minutes, Saya lets us into her chaotic, violent life. But then she goes away, leaving us with the same impression we had when we first saw her - that of a sword-slinging enigma. In a weird way, that's kind of neat. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Girl With No Name in beautiful, haunting, vampire animie. *by T***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 11, 2006* I know little of anime, but I am told that schoolgirls are a prevalent theme/imagery. Schoolgirls in cute sailer uniforms and short pleated skirts. One anime buff told me of a series featuring superhero flying schoolgirls who spread their legs and shoot death rays from their vaginas.Kinda makes the Power Puff Girls look like prudes, but hey, it's a Japanese thing.Blood -- The Last Vampire isn't as salacious as all that, but it falls into anime's superhero schoolgirl subgenre. Its young heroine, Saya, hunts vampires at a US Air Force base in Japan -- going undercover as a schoolgirl, sailer uniform and all. Despite being a pre-teen girl vampire hunter, Saya's hard-boiled professionalism is closer to La Femme Nikita or Witchblade's Sara Pezzini than to the chipper Buffy. Saya is Lara Croft without Croft's flippancy or smirky attitude. Saya doesn't enjoy her work, she does what needs to be done.Although some critics regard Saya as too enigmatic and deadpan to interest audiences, I was intrigued by Saya's silent ruthlessness. Still waters run deep. Of the above femmes, Saya is easily the grimmest, the most fatalistic. Saya doesn't care for small talk -- or friends. Unlike Buffy, Saya retorts to a classmate's friendly greeting with a glaring, "Don't talk to me."Saya is The Girl With No Name in a nihilistic spaghetti western (or noodle eastern). Imagine a schoolgirl Lara Croft wearing Clint Eastwood's laconic scowl, silent and cool, ever-ready to draw her weapon. That's Saya.(At the risk of revealing too much, Saya also bears similarities to the child vampire in Anne Rice's Interview With the Vampire.)Like most spaghetti westerns, Blood -- The Last Vampire has a simple story. Hunt and destroy vampires. It opens with savagery, and continues bleeding till the end.An old man is slaughtered on a subway by a sword-wielding hoodlum. We soon learn the hoodlum is a young girl, Saya, the old man a vampire. Saya reports to a pair of government suit types: one white, one black. That's relevant because it's confusing. The subway markings are Japanese, yet these men are clearly not Asian. Are we in Japan or the US? Or maybe in some Blade Runner type future?Maybe I missed something. It wasn't until I read some program notes that I learned the film is set in 1966 Japan "during the Vietnam War."Although a pre-teen girl, Saya is a deadly vampire hunter, possessing unique skills. Her quarry is a dwindling race of ancient shape-shifting monsters, morphing from human to reptilian form. As in Blade, Saya requires a sword for her job, and her swordplay evokes Sandahl Bergman in Conan the Barbarian.Saya's G-men controllers have tracked the remaining vampires to a US Air Force base. Saya -- in her undercover schoolgirl sailer uniform -- is planted in the base school to identify and destroy the vampire menace. Contributing to the film's dark atmosphere, the kids at the base school are preparing for a Halloween party, which shifts Blood -- The Last Vampire closer to horror anime (as opposed to superhero or sci-fi).Blood's atmosphere consists of nihilism and noirish fatalism. Saya is not alone in her grim sullenness. So too are her controllers. And the vampires. And the base prostitutes, all aged, ugly, and despairing, their sagging over-painted faces resembling the hooker in Orwell's 1984. (In contrast to the energetic mouthy streetwalkers in most US films). In Blood, the innocent are either destroyed by vampires, or exposed as one.Appropriate for noir, the film is largely set at night. Or else it's dawn or dusk, a menacing sky smeared blood-red, sulfur-yellow, and soot-gray. A live action shot of a jet fighter -- belching bleary exhaust fumes -- bleeds into the anime. Fumes and soot and dour Asians contribute to a Blade Runner milieu. (Hence, my surprise to learn Blood is set in the past, not the future.)Blood -- The Last Vampire should be seen not for its plot, but for its resplendent visual artistry, and for Saya. The film ends on a powerful emotional punch, not because the "surprise twist revelation" about Saya surprises us, but because we've already deduced enough to appreciate Saya's dilemma and remain intrigued to learn more.I saw Blood -- The Last Vampire with a Japanese soundtrack, subtitled in English, but the DVD also has an English language option. At 48 minutes, it's not quite a feature, yet something more than a short. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ just my opinion *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 4, 2022* not what I wad expecting the pace was quick and I liked the story line --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/26409543-blood-the-last-vampire-blu-ray](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/26409543-blood-the-last-vampire-blu-ray) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
