An Early Look at the Live Action Blood: The Last Vampire
– The film is directed by Chris Nahon who also directed Empire of the Wolves, and Kiss of the Dragon. It stars Gianna in the title role of Saya, whom you might remember from the korean movie My Sassy Girl who actually does a really good Saya. I think they made a conscious choice not to sexualize Saya or make her cute because she is dressed as a Japanese school girl and it think it pays off, because it makes that fact that she does the things she does a bit more believable.
What do you think?

I love anime. Specifically, series involving any of the following things: weird fantasy elements, super-powers, robots, aliens, wicked humor, crazy villains, horror, ninjas and samurai. I guess that means I like a lot of anime. I am pretty particular about the quality of animation and voice acting. If the character designs and animation quality aren't of über-quality, I quickly loose interest.The first anime-related series I ever watched was Battle of the Planets - otherwise known as Gatachman. The first true theatrical anime feature film I saw was Akira. My first exposure to manga was later in life when I read Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy.There are so many incredible elements of Japanese culture. Some of the most exciting to me are the style of design and storytelling. I'm a web designer & illustrator, and I find myself looking to Japanese design for inspiration all the time.Anime blogging has taught me even more about Japanese culture and anime than I ever expected, and I continue to learn more every week. In fact, I'd love to travel to Japan. Rachel and I hope to visit sometime within the next few years.

Sounds like it may actually be good, it doesn’t seem like they have watered down and Americanized the movie which is so annoying
