I've seen the entire series (subbed) of Blood +.
I discovered that a series existed, and after loving 'Blood - The Last Vampire', I had to find 'Blood +'.
I di find it! First off, it's best not to compare the series directly to the feature, at least not right away.
I admit, it takes a while to start, to the point where you think nothing is ever going to happen! You actually feel like shouting at Saya "C'Mon! Get a move on!". However, it does eventually start, and from there on it's a story of twists and turns, though never really any that shock or surprise. There are a few interesting sub-plots to follow, that fill in the background for the series and give it a more three dimensional feel rather than it being all about Saya, but at the same time is linked to her.
Sometimes I felt like I couldn't connect with the characters, where I should be emotional, I found that I wasn't bothered about them, not really. Saying that, perhaps some of the emotion was lost in translation through reading the subtitles...I do look forward to a good dub. Yes, true anime fans can still like dubs!! The soundtrack is very nice too, unique music that gives each series it's own feel, music that fits well with the mood.
It's well worth watching, you just have to get past the first 8-9 eps without giving up on it!
