Sassy Girl wants Blood


Another vampire movie will be out this year and No, its not New Moon but Blood+. ``Blood" is based on a popular Japanese anime film, series and manga,and I just finished watching the anime version and I actually liked it though I am not really that big of a fan. The animation was great and the plot was also great so that leads us to the question: Will the movie (live) adaptation will level up or exceed the animation?


Hallyu star Jun Ji-hyun, also known as Gianna Jun who was

populary known in the movie Sassy Girl, will play a half-vampire, half-human demon hunter Saya, in her first English-speaking role in the film ``Blood: The Last Vampire."

The story is about a girl named Saya (Jun Ji Hyun) who she tracks down and kills (brutally if I might add)demons in human disguise or Chiropterans throughout Tokyo in 1970. Her main concern is to hunt down the ``oldest and vilest of all demons
" Onigen, who she blames for the death of her father.

A lot of critics who saw the 5 minute start of the film gave praises to Jun Ji Hyun for her fluent English but says that the movie is a letdown. I have also seen the 5 minute snippet of the movie and well, the way it was shot was really a bit of a let down. PS. I kind of hated Ji Hyun in Saya's uniform. I dont like seeing her in it and I dont know if its because the uniform looks big on her or she's slouching. Well, got to se
e the whole movie first before I can actually judge it. Love Jun Ji Hyun though.!!

From Sassy to Vamp..

well, actually the movie will be based on the OVA of the same title. And honestly, it has a different setting than the anime Blood+ itself. The Saya on the movie will be more darker than the Saya you saw on the anime. It's best not to compare the movie to the anime, but to the OVA. Have you seen the OVA yet? its nice, and it has more gore than the anime, again. hehehe... BTW, the title for the OVa, if you're interested in watching it, it's "Blood, The Last Vampire".. :D
