My heart is torn in two when it comes to "Blood+"... I definitely loved Saya. She really grows in you and by the last episodes, you truly care about her! This also applies -in a smaller scale- to some of the other characters, such as Haji, Solomon, and even Diva. If you're into character development, you'll like this aspect of the series! That said, in the other hand: There are some serious pacing issues and the sci-fi military sub-plots end up taking you nowhere memorable. Add that to the "a little too much" romantic intents and well... :-( When "Blood+" is at its best, it's BRILLIANT! There are moments of absolute exquisite cinematography, very high production values, and you can bet your heart is gonna get wrenched... but I can't help to think that with more focus on the strong elements of its universe (vampires, promises, destinies...) and around 20 episodes less, we could've had a modern classic. I hope someday "Blood+" gets the "Brotherhood" treatment, if you know what I mean. In the meantime, give it a chance, but don't expect a a hidden masterpiece.
