I’ve been meaning to post this since Friday but LiveJournal was having problems, so here it is!

RAW version available here | Subbed version by Underwater fansubs available here.

Impressions (spoilers ahead):

– The thing that the creatures keep saying, about “honoring the covenant”, makes me wonder if it has something to do with the previous Blood series. In one of those flashes that Saya has, I’m pretty sure I saw a girl with braids that looks like the original Saya. But it could be this same Saya in a different time.

– I thought this episode’s script was poor. The scene where Saya falls from the tree… I mean, is this really Ohkawa writing here? So unoriginal.

– There must be something in that guimauve sweet!

– For a CLAMP series, there isn’t much clothes changing going on…

– More bizarre creatures *yawns*

– The teacher is saying the lyrics to Saya’s dull song? Freaky…

– Next episode: ghost stories. Looks like a filler. Boring.

Seriously, this series’ production looks very laid-back… or maybe I didn’t get the gist out of it yet.

RAW version available here | Subbed version by Underwater fansubs available here (I was waiting for their release to make the post).

Impressions (spoilers ahead):

– This episode was slightly more interesting the the previous two, I think the plot is starting to get a shape here…

– Food, food, food, this is CLAMP, after all (and the preview for episode 4 shows more food).

– They are giving too much attention to the fact that very little happens in the town, I think… and we don’t see much of the citizens either…

– The fact that Saya’s father can only drink weak coffee: suspicious. AND he wouldn’t eat the Guimauve thing…

– The Motome twins are so dramatic xD Love them!

– What’s with the hipster dog? xD

– The part with the baker was very sinister O___o Much more sinister than the bizarre creature that showed up later (seriously enough with the bizarre creatures!). Who else thought of Ueda? =D Thank god it wasn’t him, right? He didn’t deserve to die that way…

– I would like this series more if scenes like the one with the possessed baker happened more often.

– Out of the 3 episodes aired so far, this was the most interesting to watch, in my opinion, and that’s good because I had really bad impressions for the first 2 episodes.

The BLOOD-C TV Anime started its broadcast today in Japan. The first episode script was written in partnership between Nanase Ohkawa and Junichi Fujisaku. I believe all episodes will be written by the duo (and likely the movie script as well).

You can download the RAW torrent here and the subbed version here (by Underwater fansubs).

My first impressions are (spoilers ahead):

– I think Saya’s character is weird… is she genki? Is she dark? Somehow her genkiness doesn’t really fit in the “BLOOD” franchise to me. I never watched the other BLOOD works but I know it’s dark stuff. Maybe I’ll get used later xD

– That singing scene was completely random and unnecessary (the worst thing is that I think this was Ohkawa’s idea, I can so see her composing the lyrics. She is not Kobato, Ohkawa! xD)

– In fact, Saya’s “kindness” really annoys me, she can’t get on time for class because she is always doing good deeds on her way to school? C’mon… xD

– Animation quality was OK. It was watchable for me. (Much) Better than the XXXHOLiC anime, at least. Still don’t think PRODUCTION IG is good enough for CLAMP (or maybe they don’t want to be).

– The OP is very cool but it was a big mistake to choose that type and color for the credits. Also the episode title (dark red in black background? WTH!).

– It’s interesting to watch a CLAMP anime without really knowing what’s going to happen next =) It’s an unusual and exciting experience!
