Blood: The Last Vampire Trailer
A live action adaptation of the anime original Blood: The Last Vampire is the story of Saya, who is part of an elite team that seeks out and destroys demons. Hrmm… not too original. Didn’t I just see the same thing, but with a slightly different twist in the more recent Tokyo Gore Police? Check official synopsis and the non-subtitled trailer below. FYI – If you’re in Japan you can see this on May 29. Everyone else? Tough titties.
On the surface, Saya is a stunning 16-year old, but that youthful exterior hides the tormented soul of a 400 year-old halfling. Born to a human father and a vampire mother, she has for centuries been a loner obsessed with using her samurai skills to rid the world of vampires, all the while knowing that she herself can survive only on blood like those she hunts.
When she is sent onto an American military base in Tokyo by the clandestine organization she works for, Saya immediately senses that this may be her opportunity to finally destroy Onigen, the evil patriarch of all vampires. Using her superhuman strength and her sword, she begins to rid the base of its evil infestation in a series of spectacular and elaborate showdowns. However, it is not until she forms her first human friendship in centuries with the young daughter of the bases general that Saya learns her greatest power over Onigen may well be her ability for human connection.
