That sounds really cool :D

No wonder you have been so into the blood franchise lattley.

Ha ha! Yes, I watched the movie and am reading the novel that follows the movie now. I actually am not that far into the show, but at least what I have seen, I like a lot. When all this stuff comes out next year on DVD and in print form (manga and novels) I think it will probably get a lot of attention.

Yea, I think the manga will get a lot of attention when it comes out.

I think the show is already getting a lot of attention since its running on adultswim right after bleach. Also, the movie is really classic and has gained a lot of attention though the years.

Is the novel good? Im not sure if I should read it or not.

There is a novel that is set after the story in "Blood: The Last Vampire" called "Blood: The Last Vampire - Night of the Beasts". This is between the movie and the Blood+ series. It is very well written and is translated by one of the best fiction translators working today, Camellia Nieh, who also did Crimson Labyrinth (a very cool Survivor meets Battle Royale story) and Ode to Kirihito, one of the best manga I have ever read.

Is there more than one Blood novel? I saw one in the bookstore, but now Im not sure if we are thinking of the same one...Im pretty sure I remember seeing the author of the novel was Oshii Mamoru, which I thought was intersting, because I didnt know he could write novels.

i think the movie was under-rated on this poll. i really liked both but the movie was so impacting for only being about 30 minutes or so.... one of the best movies and show i have seen in my opinion^.^

How does "Blood: The Last Vampire - Night of Beasts" and the rest of the novels compare to the rest of the franchise?

Anyone know a cheap place to buy them all?

The Night of the Beasts is a stand-alone novel. The four Blood+ novels out now are novelization of the Blood+ anime series (the fourth one comes out in July), and then there are two prequel novels coming out:

Blood+: Adagio Volume 1 TPB :: Profile :: Dark Horse Comics

so the Blood+ ones are manga? and the prequels should be sorta like the movie?

Blood: The Last Vampire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

that says there are more than one...

There are Blood+ manga and Blood+ novelizations. The manga does not follow the anime very closely, and it is more bloody and mature. The novels follow the anime closely, but give more details and can explain things you can't explain in an anime.

The prequel novels for Blood+ have nothing to do with the movie.

Wow, finally some stuff about Blood+!! It's my favorite anime of all time, I've never had the chance to see the movie, or read the books though. But the anime series was amazing.

5/5 IMO
