Good but needs more episodes
WeAreLive23 June 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Yesterday and day before yesterday I marathoned this whole anime and honestly it is pretty good and entertaining. I have to admit I laughed at the same.

Just be clear though this anime is not related to Blood + or Blood C. It is just it's own anime. Despite having the name Blood Lad they don't over with nudity or over the top violence it has a perfect balance of both. Yes there is a bit of nudity in this anime but it is not a major problem.

In terms of plot it is very good despite being only 10 episodes and an OVA. However, I do wish they continued the story for a bit longer because there is a lot of unanswered questions like will Fuyumi ever become a human again or will she stay a ghost/demon forever? and after the OVA we just see Staz charge head on to face a crab like man and the episode ends

In terms of voice acting it is pretty good and I like how Bryce Papenbrock the voice of Staz and Johnny Yong Bosch the voice of Braz are both brothers in this anime. This is also the case in another anime called Blue Exorcist where both Johnny and Bryce both voice brother. The other voice actors which include Kyle Hebert, Max Mittelman (credited as Jason Baker in this series), Kira Buckland, Christina Vee, Patrick Seitz Ben Diskin, Matthew Mercer, Erik Scott Kimmer and Xanthe Huynh were also very good supporting cast.

Also some of the designs did come out as weird for me but that didn't really bother me that much.

I am only going to say this if there was more episodes or a season with the unanswered then I would be satisfied. Other then that it is a pretty good anime and a job well done to the creators.

It was ok but not great
Irishchatter16 June 2018
Warning: Spoilers
It was ok to look at the character of Staz whose considered as a slobby, selfish and an idiot vampire, who's in love with a human girl who just turned into a ghost by a monster. However I just didn't think the humour was there for me to actually laugh at the jokes involved here. I didn't find the storyline interesting either as some may think it is.

I only watched just a few episodes of Blood Lad and I just didn't find it spectacular. It was good to look at but not continue it further, I'm giving it a 6/10..

Not a masterpiece but a very very good and unique anime
kesseb3628 October 2013
Blood lad is one of the best new anime's out there right now. What is special about it is that it is one of the few anime to make me laugh but still have enough action to keep me at the edge of my seat. I honestly don't think I have laughed as hard in any anime before as I have in this one. It also has a certain sexiness to it. They don't overdo anything thus keeping a nice balance for a nice and unique anime. The plot is fairly simple but it is good enough to have you continue watching or reading it for a long time. I was surprised when I watched this because I was not expecting such an anime coming out of VIZ media. I hope VIZ will continue to produce more anime like this.

I not sure what to say
puneetsharma914 August 2018
Humour is there but sometime it dark kind of some kind of light also. It feel like anti hero feature of the vampire

So much different in only ten episode and I can see the potential of next season but it just crack by ending remarks of the end.

From Start the hero I mean kind of anti hero who is vampire but obsessed with human world and can try everything as it impress by manga video games and other thing from there.

The Vampire can't decide the feeling toward the girl as he have not enough time what he experience first and for gain previous experience he try to anything. As in first episode she died (not fully).

Totally now I am going to read manga may be read in Japanese as it has latest as I want to know what happen next.

Not Good Enough
PennyReviews11 October 2018
Blood Lad had some solid first two episodes and then nothing. The story isn't something you haven't watched before and it was all over the place. Only the lead character was interesting and maybe one or two others characters tops, whether the lead lady was just there for fanservice and nothing else. Also, the humour was less and less as the anime proceeded. So, I'm overall disappointed.

Amazing! ... where's the rest!?
dragoncherie23 March 2020
All I'm going to say is: if you like dark comedy, anime, and a stellar voice cast (that's subjective I understand) then just give this one a try and see for yourself what you think! I was entertained throughout the entirety of this short run anime and so was my boyfriend... But why they gotta go and do me like that?! It just ends with quite a bit left to be tackled with the story... Maybe a season 2 will make a sneaky arrival? Eh I can dream can't I? All in all, a very fun watch.

Had potential, but turned out as trash.
Lukasmj15 November 2022
"Blood Lad" is an anime that I was really looking forward to because I thought that the drawing style and the character design of the main protagonist looked very appealing.

The references to other animes sometimes made me exhale more forcefully from my nose.

But unfortunately none of that is of any use if the anime loses itself somewhere and no longer knows what to do with itself.

There is a goal to revive the girl, but the way to get there is clunky and boring.

In addition, I'm not a fan of fan service at all, which unfortunately is very present here...

I would not recommend this anime.

Really good needs more sessions
dcooper-4492926 March 2024
Although it has some basic tropes it really goes all over the place in a good way and kept me interested. It needs some work must spend a little bit more time behind scenes pick up backstories and continuity.

Up time to go I'm really hoping for another revamp it would be super cool I would watch a little bit more fighting would be good too I'm trying to fill in all the characters because you know you have to and also and me personally would like a little less fan service and a little bit more character development into the main female lead other than that it's really good but then again all this can be fixed by a little bit more backstores and continuity.

amazing! we need a 2nd season for sure
maitmuar6 May 2023
Just finished 10 episodes in less than two days, I just love this type of anime! It reminds me a bit of plunderer or angels of death. It has the right amount of comedy, action and a tiny bit of romance, not a fan of the fan service, but apart from that everything is great! Specially the plot of the story and the characters have a lot of potential.

The last episode was my favorite so far, but it left kind of in a cliffhanger. I was hoping there would be a second season but i couldn't find any updates of production anywhere, I really want to see more of Fuyumi, Stan and the others. And looking at other reviews, many people agree too. I'm giving this 10 stars. So i hope this anime becomes famous enough to get another season.

I honestly love the series, but I was disappointed that there is still not a season 2. Please make a season 2.

Blood blood!
vadtemer18 November 2022
Warning: Spoilers
And again, after a couple of years, I decided to review some anime, and I'll tell you, the second time!

I started to get high from the very first minute, I would say that they mixed everything that is possible in an interesting setting (the world of demons) and even at first does not want to realize how it all exists, and then it really starts to reveal the essence of the world, and if it was possible to give tags (well, actually pluses) anime then: + family (as Vin Diesel would say, "nothing is more important than family") and a little friendship + vampires and other uncleanness (which I just didn't see here, well, probably only if the Mersky, but still a noble menagerie) + waiting area (cold recovery) + parallel worlds (not so much noticeable, but it's nice to have a series of 10, it was to watch what and how it was, and a couple more moments of the plot and characters) + love (or how excited GG, but hell knows, I don't know, but I love) + interesting characters and plot (4 of their goals for this game, and not just GG) + changeable atmosphere (funny, beautiful :-P, sad) + ending, obviously begins at interesting moments * Well, probably only the duration of 12 episodes at least) Bottom line: At the end of watching 10 episodes, unfortunately only 10 and not at least 12, obviously the product should be posted, but we don't expect 22g in the yard, 9 years have passed, but there is no production, well, the waiting mode continues I will say that it is not a shame to get acquainted with this work at the age of 22) I recommend.
